We can, of course, spend a lot of time in the pharmacy, looking for the perfect tool. Reading the label after the label and hope that we will not have any frightened side effects. Would it be great if you could use natural medicine for almost all of your health problems without fear of side effects? Well, you can. The solution is an essential oil of therapeutic class.
Essential oils have been used as medicine for thousands of years. And today, the discovery of true medicinal aromatherapy affects thousands of people in a significant way. I am one of those competent people who have experienced first hand the medicinal benefits of essential oils. And I will never be without them!
Please know that I am not suggesting that you stop taking any prescription drugs. It is very important for your health. Always consult your doctor before you stop or reduce the dose.
Here are 3 simple natural remedies for some common diseases using pure therapeutic grades of essential oils:
1. For fevers: 3 drops Peppermint Essential Oil on each leg. It worked for me and many people I know, and this is especially good for children. For children under 2 years old, dilute 1 part of essential oil with 10 parts of organic vegetable oil.
Peppermint essential oil is also great for indigestion, headaches, stuffy noses, indigestion, improving the concentration and healing of insects. One bottle of peppermint essential oil can easily replace at least 6 different medications in your first aid kit.
2. For allergies : A drop or two Lavender essential oil on the shoulders and under the nose to help eliminate allergic symptoms such as sneezing, stuffy nose and watery eyes.
Lavender essential oil is a natural antihistamine, and it is also an excellent stress reliever. It helps calm the body and mind when inhaled. It also cleans cuts and wounds, prevails from fear of burns and helps to heal a sunburn. The presence of a bottle of lavender essential oil on hand can replace quite a lot of conventional medicines.
3. For joint pain : Wipe a few drops of the ether mixture, called PanAway on sore joints, as needed. This mixture has helped me with back pain more times than I can count!
PanAway Blend of Essential Oils contains winter greens (Gaultheria procumbens), helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum), cloves (Syzygium aromaticum) and peppermint (Mentha piperita.)
