Essential oils

Treatment

Got an ailment? Chances are, there’s an essential oil for it. Essential oils are highly concentrated compounds made from plants. How concentrated are they, exactly? Here’s just one example: it takes 220 pounds of lavender flowers to make just one pound of lavender essential oil. So yeah, they’re potent! An essential oil retains the plant’s scent, flavor, and most important, its healing properties. The practice of using essential oils is sometimes called aromatherapy, and there are dozens of essential oils with therapeutic properties out there. Commonly used ones include tea tree, lavender, frankincense, lemon, and peppermint. The aroma molecules in essential oils are potent plant chemicals with a variety of properties ranging from antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory, to glandular, emotional, and psychological. When these scent molecules are inhaled, they send biological signals to receptor cells in the nose, which are then relayed to the brain. In other words, the smell matters!

Hi wana fam! When I get Migraines, it’s usually a 3-4 day event. On medication (sumatriptan, ritzatriptan, aleve, essential oils, dark room rest, all that Jazz) but still feeling like death. Any recommendations to survive?

Hi! I have eczema, which isn’t an option on here yet. I am sticking with natural remedies, with no steroids. I’ve been using Vaseline, oatmeal baths, and essential oils as a treatment. I have kept everything decently under control besides my under arms. Any recommendations???

I ran out of trazodone a couple nights ago, which I use to help me sleep. I’ve slept maybe 6 hours in the last two days. It’s been tough. It sucks to be reliant on a med like this, but it is the Only thing that helps. I’ve tried melatonin, herbs, over the counter sleep aids, meditation, essential oils... none of it works. Let’s hope I can sleep decently tonight, and my prescription is filled tomorrow.

Hi wanafam! I’m sorry I’ve been mia, been focusing on my health as I’m struggling. I’m being called to experiment with topically applying anti-inflammatory essential oils to the brain to calm inflammation. I use frankincense but just came across this site (link in convo). Has anyone tried any of these?

The Evan Brand Show: Dr. Jay Davidson on Lyme, Essential Oils for Biofilms & Heavy Metal Toxicity

Dr. Jay and I discuss how parasites can act as a reservoir for heavy metals, candida, and other infections. THIS is why I have such a high success rate in my clinic!It all makes sense now, even though I didn't fully understand the mechanism before, because I place SO much emphasis on investigating and healing the microbiome of my clients, by removing parasites, we are removing the storage facility for yeast and all of these other co-infections! Several years ago, I lost 25 pounds without trying and had irritable bowel, depression and adrenal fatigue, and one of the biggest things I did to heal myself was to remove the 2 parasitic infections I had in my gut. Running a set of comprehensive stool tests (not all tests are created equal) is always standard protocol for new clients of mine, because as you'll hear in this interview, Jay found the same thing...80% of the battle against lyme disease and other chronic health issues can be remedied just by clearing out the parasite infections as well as heavy metals.
