Castor oil for hyperthyroid goitre and many other diseases

I'm putting this post together quickly, as I do not have the time to do so otherwise, but wanted to leave links on castor oil packs as a way to dispel goitre and many other diseases. (I've had a goitre -- Grave's Disease -- since 1992, and am hopeful this might be a good route to take. I'll get back later as to my rate of success.) Castor oil should be purchased from a health food store, making sure it is cold pressed.

From Amazon's "just a housewife":

His nodules were completely shrunk by applying a compress of castor oil to throat with warmth once daily for 45 minutes...

From Annie Appleseed Project:

Dr. McGarey says: "We still have no explanation why ..... a pack using this oil will help restore normalcy to a hyperactive child, or speed up the healing of hepatitis, or help to get rid of gallstones, or even help heal abrasions and infections. Perhaps [the explanation] is to be found in the nature of the human body and the secret capabilities of the substances God gave us here on the earth for our use and benefit..."

From Dr. Foster:

Instructions for making a castor oil pack.

From Dr. James R. Harris:

Castor Oil is called the Palma Christi, or "palm of Christ." Many cultures through many centuries have credited it with miraculous healing powers. Dr. McGarey reports that in his clinical practice, no single remedy has surpassed castor oil in treating so broad a range of disorders, "from appendicitis to scleroderma...pain syndromes, slipped discs, hyperactivity, tumors, tinnitus, nausea, etc..."

From Earth Clinic:

Though we mainly know it as one of Edgar Cayce's most famous remedies, castor oil has a long history of traditional medical use dating back to ancient Egypt. Derived from the castor bean, the oil was traditionally used internally as a laxative. However, now it is primarily used externally due to its potential toxicity. Castor oil packs are a traditional holistic treatment for a range of conditions, such as: cholecystitis (inflammation of the gall bladder), poor eliminations, epilepsy, various liver conditions such as cirrhosis and torpid liver, scleroderma, headaches, appendicitis, arthritis, incoordination between assimilations and eliminations, colitis, intestinal disorders such as stricture and colon impaction, incoordination between nervous systems, neuritis, and toxemia...

Young Living Essential Oils for Depression

Taken straight from the Essential Oils Desk Reference, here are the oils suggested for depression:

Single Oils	Blends
Frankincense	Valor
Lemon	Motivation
Sandalwood	Passion
Geranium	Hope
Lavender	Brain Power
Angelica	Present Time
Orange	Envision
Grapefruit	Sacred Mountain
Ylang Ylang	Harmony
	Highest Potential
	Joy

The following reflects our personal opinion; oils affect people differently.

We have tried all of the single oils listed (except Geranium and Angelica), and by far and away YL's Frankincense, Lavender and Orange were the most successful for depression for us. While Ylang Ylang smells interesting (I'm still not sure whether I like it or not), it did little for depression. Lemon and Grapefruit are great oils, but I'm not sure how well they tackle depression on their own. Our kids (in their 20s) all liked Orange (they put 3-5 drops of oil in rice milk and sometimes would add in Lemon too); they all stated they "felt better" when they took it. Frankincense is not only good for depression but incredibly good for hysterics in both children and adults. Like throwing a light switch [truly]. So, if you have issues regarding "road rage," fear no more... And Lavender is a tremendous stress reducer. I use it all the time at the dentist's office, and I almost fell asleep last time I was there [no kidding].

We've tried some of the blends, and I'm not sure I can recommend any (for depression). Joy seems to get high marks from other distributors, but I don't care too much for the scent. I like Sacred Mountain and Brain Power and Harmony is interesting, but again, I don't know how effective they are for depression.

P.S. Melissa oil is outstanding for bringing about peacefulness, reducing vertigo too, and supposedly good for Graves Disease as well. But at $200 a 5ml bottle (retail), it shakes up the wallet substantially. We, however, purchased 3-4 bottles of the oil from Young Living anyway as it was extremely effective. We just recently ordered some from another source, though (much less $$ as they are not a multi-level marketing company), and will get back to you with our opinion. [UPDATE:] We have received Rocky Mountain's Melissa Essential Oil (I purchased their Ultrasonic Nebulizer to disperse it), and so far, so good. It's great to have Melissa back in the home again.

Blessing of Herbs and Flowers

The Assumption by Stephen B. Whatley

Christians of both East and West have, from very early times, blessed herbs and fruit on the Feast of the Assumption. Thus blessed, these creatures become sacramentals of the Church and portents of divine protection from dangers to soul and body. In some places the herbs were placed on the altar, and even beneath the altar linens, so that from this proximity to the Most Holy Eucharist they might receive a special hallowing, beyond that conferred by the blessing prayers of the Church.

The prayers of the rite suggest that this custom of the Church hearkens back to the ancient customs ordained by God through Moses. According to Christian tradition, when the Apostles accompanied Saint Thomas, who had been absent at the time of the Blessed Virgin's death, to her tomb, upon opening it they discovered that her body was not there. Instead, they found the tomb filled with fragrant herbs and flowers. Blessed herbs recall the lingering fragrance of the virtues of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Church.

Back to basil ...

From the Essential Oils Desk Reference:

Historical data: Used extensively in traditional Asian Indian medicine ... In the 16th century, the powdered leaves were inhaled to treat migraines and chest infections ... Italian women wore basil to attract possible suitors. It was listed in Hildegard's Medicine, a compilation of early German medicines by highly-regarded Benedictine herbalist Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179).

And from Fr. Mark Kirby:

The aromatic herb, basil (Ocimum basilicum) has long been associated with the Holy Cross.

Etymologically, it is related to basileios, the Greek word for king. According to a pious legend, the Empress Saint Helena found the location of the True Cross by digging for it under a colony of basil. Basil plants were reputed to have sprung up at the foot of the Cross where fell the Precious Blood of Christ and the tears of the Mother of Sorrows. A sprig of basil was said to have been found growing from the wood of the True Cross. On the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross it is customary in the East to rest the Holy Cross on a bed of basil before presenting it to the veneration of the faithful. Also, from the practice in some areas of strewing branches of basil before church communion rails, it came to be known as Holy Communion Plant. Blessed basil leaf can be arranged in a bouquet at the foot of the crucifix; the dried leaves can also be used by the faithful as a sacramental. Continue reading here.

Young Living Essential Oils for Anxiety

I love the Lavender oil. I have some issues with anxiety and I swear by the stuff. It actually stopped an anxiety attack in its tracks! --Meridith Enny, Oils from God YLEO customer [now a distributor]

Related: Dental Appointments: Easing Angst Naturally

Checking through our Essential Oils Desk Reference, Young Living Lavender Oil is listed as beneficial regarding the following emotional responses: Agitation, Anger, Anxiety, Boredom, Concentration, Day-Dreaming, Depression, Despair, Disappointment, Discouragement, Frustration, Grief/Sorrow, Mood Swings, Obsessiveness, Panic, and Restlessness. So one can readily see why this is a great oil for the medicine chest.

However, if you purchase lavender oil through a health food store, it most likely will do little to heal you, and it can even do harm, because most essential oils sold through health food stores are not therapeutic grade and will be extended with lesser oils and also chemicals. So make sure to ask management, before you buy... OR purchase Young Living's "therapeutic" Lavender Essential Oil from the get-go, and know you're getting the best.

Young Living Abundance Essential Oil for Depression?

I came upon Young Living Abundance Essential Oil quite by accident. It was a complementary (in abundance?) oil from YL after I had ordered a certain PV amount. When I initially smelled this oil, I thought it a little funky; maybe it was the patchouli oil that was triggering "the 60s" in my brain. (Abundance also includes frankincense, orange, spruce, cinnamon, myrrh, clove and ginger oils.)

Anyway, I put the oil away, and didn't open it again until my beloved YL Frankincense Oil went dry one day. Well, it didn't take long before I became a huge "abundant" fan of Young Living Abundance Oil (I mix it with unscented body lotion from Everybody), and recently I did a search on the Net to find out if there were "others" like me.

Coffee got your frequency down? Young Living Essential Oils to the rescue!

Excerpt from Healing Oils of the Bible:

In other experiments by Tainio (see this link for full post), he measured the effects of coffee, finding that even holding a cup of coffee lowers one's bodily frequency by 8 MHz and that taking a sip can lower one's frequency by 14 MHz. When essential oils are inhaled following the exposure to coffee, the bodily frequencies restore themselves in less than a minute, but if no oils are administered, it can take up to three days for the body to recover from even one drink of coffee.
