I wanted to show you the value of the ‘Essential Oils Desk Reference’ – available at http://www.lifesciencepublishers.com The following is an excerpt demonstrating how this reference book is worth its weight in gold in terms of determining what to do and how to do it in regards to Young Living Essential Oils. This excerpt for the EODR is one of thousands that we refer to when using our Young Living Essential Oils. Tangerine essential oil

Edema (Ankle Swelling)

Swelling, particularly around the ankles, is noticeable when fluids accumulate in the tissue. This puffiness under the skin and around the ankles can be more apparent at the end of the day when fluids settle to the lowest part of the body. Also, a potassium deficiency can make swelling worse, so the first recourse is to increase potassium intake.

First Recommendations: Juniper, Tangerine, Geranium

Using Juniper essential oil helps flush the kidneys to better eliminate excess water.

Other Single Oils: German Chamomile, Wintergreen, Peppermint, Lavender, Grapefruit, Helichrysum

Feet: Tips and Testimonials on Bone Spurs and Planter’s Fascititis

July 27, 2011 in Alternative Therapies, Aromatherapy, Best Essential Oils, Common Questions, Family Health, First Aid tips, Foot, Men's Health, Natural, R.C., Testimonials, Therapeutic-grade Essential Oil, Using Essential Oils, Wellness, Women's Health, Young Living Essential Oils by Evelyn Vincent | No comments

Bone Spur: Idaho Balsam Fir and R.C. Essential Oils Testimonial

“I had a bone spur the size of the end of my thumb on the bottom of my heel which hurt like the dickens. At night I could hardly wait to get off my foot because it hurt so bad but when I did, it hurt worse. During the night when I had to get up to go to the bathroom it took all I could muster up, to hobble to the bathroom because I couldn’t put any weight at all on the foot.

I had tried R.C. because I had heard that it had dissolved other peoples bone spurs. But it didn’t help mine. I was to the point where I was maybe considering about going to the doctor to see about getting surgery on the heel because I was tired of the pain all the time. Then one day there was a medical doctor on TV and he was talking about doing laser surgery on bone spurs. So I was really interested in seeing what he had to say about it.

The first thing he said was before they did surgery, they would give the patient cortisone shots and then see what happened. Da-a-a-a, What was the matter with me. Why hadn’t I thought of that before? We have a natural cortisone like action with our tree oils so I applied Idaho Balsam Fir and R.C. together on my heel. The first night the pain was less and in three days the spur was gone and that has been over eight years and I have not had any problems since.

My husband was having the similar problem with his foot on the ball of the foot last spring and I applied Idaho Balsam Fir and R.C. to his foot and in a week his pain was gone and has not came back.

What a relief not to have to resort to surgery and go through more pain and compromise the immune system when we have these wonderful oils to help us.” ~ Nancy S.

Bone Spur and R.C. Essential Oil Testimonial

“I was at the gym with a group of friends and one of them mentioned that it was time to make an appointment with her doctor to have a bone spur on her toe removed. She’d been to the doctor some months earlier and he’d told her that eventually it would get to the point where it bothered her, and at that time they would remove the spur. She was at a point where it was uncomfortable and becoming painful wearing her gym shoes. I remembered reading about R.C. (essential oil blend) dissolving bone spurs, so I suggested she give it a try. Within 3 days of putting R.C. on the spur it was no longer an issue for her! She also got more relief from the R.C. on her torn rotator cuff than with Panaway! Obviously it is an oil she doesn’t want to be without!” ~ Audrey

Planter Fascitis Tips From Testimonials

I have several testimonials on Planter’s Fascititis, rather than put them all here I’ll tell you which oils worked for them. Try any combination of these…

Try Raindrop Technique on the feet!

Try taking Sulfurzyme (supplement), and applying Wintergreen essential oil with Rose Ointment applied on top.

Mix 30 drops ImmuPower essential oil in 1 oz. of V-6 Massage Oil, apply topically as needed.

Drink 2-3 oz. of NingXia Red (antioxidant juice) with 3 droppers full of Mineral Essence (tincture) daily.

Aroma Siez Essential Oil and Foot Cramps Testimonial

“Another manifestation of my current body imbalance was waking up in the middle of the night with foot cramps…big OUCH! Thank goodness I had my trusty Aroma Siez (for those seized-up muscles) handy. I just applied a couple of drops neat on top of the feet, and on the bottom, and again, the cramping stopped as if by magic. I am so grateful that I now have built my “stash” of oils to have them all. I remember well when I was just beginning in the business, and my upline (who just came into the business a week or so before me) and I used to discuss which oils we would order first, in our desire to build an inventory, and how we felt it would be quite a while before we could order the kits.

It’s interesting to look back on that time, and I’m so grateful I stayed with it. Over time, Young Living has brought many blessings…not only the wonderful effective healing, but the abundance to now order whatever I choose without concern. The choice to join Young Living certainly turned out to be one of my better decisions in this lifetime!” ~ Anonymous

Feet as Soft as a Baby’s Bottom Testimonial

“The best combination I’ve found for cracked dry skin is to mix a small dab of Tender Tush with a small dab of Animal Scents Ointment in my palm mix them together well and apply them to feet, knees, elbows and hands. If I had a fungal or any other type of infection, I would add a few drops of Melrose to my little mixture of Tender Tush and Animal Scents Ointment. This combination makes my skin feel as soft as a baby’s bottom.” ~ Evelyn

Omega Blue for Dry Skin Testimonial

“I increased the Omega Blue [fish oil supplement] in the winter time. It really helps me not have dry skin.” ~ Kim
