What do you use to diffuse it with? I have never diffused essential oils before.

We used this one all winter last year like you would use hand sanitizer. Kids did not even pick up the usual winter respiratory issues.

Thread: OK...Let's get consensus RIGHT NOW on the best Ebola treatment...

Well, I'll start.
I can be very expensive, like $44 for 1/2 oz.

I went to the local health food store a few days ago and bought $72 worth of Oils (NOW Brand), and I can make 12 oz.

I'm sure I could do better on the internet.
Made a 1 oz bottle. so far.

Thank you! I ordered a catalog and will look at the web site.

Thank you for the link ~ added to my favorites

I have been looking on Amazon. Trying to figure out what to get and everything I need. I need a diffuser I guess, never diffused essential oils before.... trying to take it all in as quickly as I can.

Thank you!!

What inspired you to have an interest in this?

There are different online formulas for making it yourself. Never used it myself, yet, but it is supposed to have kept the Plague from killing users. So I suppose it may work with viruses. Suggested use is diffuser or if you are out and about to put some on the bottom of your feet.

Here is a very inexpensive, yet fairly well rated diffuser. I ordered one a few days ago.

When my 15 year old daughter was born she had colic. I tried everything and ended up at a health store and chamomile was the answer. She was so much better. I became interested in natural healing products then. My dad was a huge believer.

When I had problems sleeping and was under a lot of stress, I learned about lavender. I have a chronic illness Ulcerative Colitis that is like Crohn's disease and I learned about peppermint oil.

I have been reading on GLP for over a year about colloidal silver (bought the stuff to make my own) and also tea tree oil which has been great for using on my two teenage daughters' acne. Naturally in all of this reading Thieves Oil came up... but I broke my leg in April and went through surgeries and a very difficult recuperation period and didn't look into it any further.

The other day I saw a reference to it on here and I started looking at it again, obviously if Ebola is a real issue it would be a good thing to have on hand, but also for other illnesses such as colds, flu etc... that will be coming now that the weather is getting colder.

Whew that was a long answer :-)

Ooooohhh thank you!!!!

I clean with it now as well, and have made hand sanitizer!

I saw studies that it had killed MRSA without antibiotics!

The apocryphal story of the slightly sinister name dates back to the Dark Ages. According to the legend, Thieves Oil was named after a band of thieves who were convicted of plundering the corpses of noblemen during the Black Plague. When the bandits were captured, the judge offered a lesser punishment if they told the court how they did not become victims of the highly contagious plague. They concocted an aromatic blend using the oils of clove, rosemary, cinnamon, lemon and eucalyptus. They rubbed this unctuous ointment into their skin and onto masks drenched in it over their mouths and noses.

(snippet from article)

The recipe is on that site too if you wish to make it yourself.



ALSO: look into OREGANO essential oil: an antiviral!!

I used tea tree oil on a 'hot spot' on my dog's front leg and it cleared that right up after a few applications....

An easy way to use it is to purchase some poly 80 which is an emulsifier, mix the essential oil blend with it, than add distilled water to it. Now put the entire mixture in a foaming pump bottle. If you don't have one go buy a bottle of hand soap from bath and beauty works, dump it into something else,leave about half an inch of the soap in there and I would buy something pumpkin or autumn scented since this oils smells that way. Add your stuff to it. It will come out as a foam. Its light enough soap that you don't really have to rinse it off.

Oh thank you so much. When my youngest daughter was 5 she had MRSA and had to have minor surgery to clear the area. She had it again at age 7. That is awesome to know!!

Used tea tree on my cat, on my mom's toe nail... lol it goes a long way

"The recipe for this blend is believed to have originated from thieves during the 15th century. According to popular theory, the concoction was created by a group of four thieves® and grave robbers to protect themselves from contracting the plague while robbing the bodies of the gravely ill and deceased. When apprehended, the thieves admitted to using the formula and disclosed the recipe in order to receive a less severe punishment for their crimes. - See more at:" [link to mountainroseblog.com]

Sounds like a load of shite to me- Eucalyptus didn't arrive in Europe until WELL after the 15th century. Likely some hippy crap that is pure placebo effect...

"In Italy, the eucalyptus only arrived at the turn of the 19th century and large scale plantations were started at the beginning of the 20th century with the aim of drying up swampy ground to defeat malaria.[citation needed] This, their rapid growth in the Italian climate and excellent function as windbreaks, has made them a common sight in the south of the country, including the islands of Sardinia and Sicily.[citation needed] They are also valued for the characteristic smelling and tasting honey that is produced from them. The variety of eucalyptus most commonly found in Italy is E. camaldulensis.[61]

In Greece, eucalyptus is widely found, especially in southern Greece and Crete. It is cultivated and used for various purposes, including as an ingredient in pharmaceutical products (e.g., creams, elixirs and sprays) and for leather production. It was imported in 1862 by botanist Theodoros Georgios Orphanides. The principal spieces is Eucalyptus globulus."

i spray myself down with my own mix of oils...

45 drops clove essential oil
35 drops lemon essential oil
25 drops eucalyptus essential oil
20 drops cinnamon essential oil
15 drops lavender essential oil
10 drops rosemary essential oil
5 drops melissa essential oil
I put these oils in a 4 ounce glass spray bottle and then top it with witch hazel.
I also use onguard essential oil which is very similar to thieves. Either one is great.

i also want to include the fact that melissa essential oil has been getting scarce so if you are considering buying some, you should do it soon. :)

How do we know which is the best/most effective formula?

Thank you!

I suspect that they traded oils from all over, like spices. They did not necessarily have to grow it themselves... Just a thought
BTW, THAT is the same formulation I use (in your link, AC)

thieves oil is what you lube up with when you play the

'Ol sneak a piece" game after your girlfriend falls asleep!

LOL

I just started using EO's this past month.
Here is a link to the company I got them from. The reviews have been very good from users.

MY 16 yr. old had MRSA and had to use bactrim. I started using oils a couple years ago and we have since then treated mrsa with an essential oil blend of oregano, thyme, and Rosemary rather than bactrim. Knocked it out in a couple days with no problems.
I was going to post links to each oil I just named in pubmed articles. I'm noticing lately that I can't find all the studies that used to be there. But you can find a few if you google the oil name along with the word pubmed. Sometimes you have to use the actual oil name such as for oregano-origanum vulgare.

I used thieves oil during the swine flu outbreak and have used it since.

I have a Vicks warm mist vaporizer and I put about 10 drops in the well (the little space meant to add Vicks Vapo-rub)of the vaporizer with some water so it permeates the air.

I also may rub it behind our ears but it is very strong smelling so use just a little. I have never tried to ingest it but I understand you can.

I use it the second my little one gets sick from viruses she brings home from school. About 50% of the time I do not get the virus passed on to me and I have an immune issue, so that is pretty good.

If you look on the website for the thieves oil, you will see they tell you all of the oils that are used in the combination. I started making my own just by guessing the amounts to use by the smell and it seems to work as well. It is a little costly to buy all those oils the first time but it's not more than the amount of one bottle of thieves and you have about 20 times more the oil at that cost.
