Recipe for Garlic Ear Oil

😊 Hey friends,

Here is a great recipe from Patty F. for Garlic Ear Oil.  It uses an essential oil that we used to carry, garlic essential oil, steam distilled from China.  It is challenging to work with, so we only supply it  now on special request. ( E-mail us for availability).  Check it out!

Ayurvedic Recipe -  Garlic Ear Oil  

In the past I've made this recipe from full raw cloves but would like to use the garlic oil I received from Kathryn at Whitesage Landing. The garlic oil is concentrated, full of enzymes and of a higher vibration.  I feel the garlic oil would be so much more beneficial!  

I use this recipe as an allergy, cold and flu prevention method, however it can also be used for acute care. 

You Will Need:

1/2 cup organic first cold pressed olive oil

3 drops of garlic oil

1 ear dropper

To Make Recipe:

After checking in, I decided to use 3 drops of garlic oil per 1/2 cup of organic 1st cold pressed olive oil.  You may wish to check into your situation and possibly increase or decrease the garlic oil by a drop or two.  

In a sauce pan set on very low heat, warm the olive oil to about 100-102 degrees.  When the oil is warm, just slightly above body temperature, turn off the heat and add the 3 drops of garlic oil.  Stir until blended.

Do not over heat the garlic oil; it could upset the enzyme balance with its antiseptic, antibacterial and antiviral properties.  

After use, It can be stored in the refrigerator in a glass bottle with a cap. For future use, pour a small out that you will use (dose) and continue to refrigerate your reserves. 

To Use The Oil:

Lay comfortably on your side and fill the ear canal with slightly warm to room temperature oil.  Let it sit for about 10 minutes.  Use a tissue or cotton ball to dab up the liquid when you're finished.  

Repeat on the other side.  (This is a nice relaxing aroma therapy experience as well).  

There are many other benefits.  It can be used 

• To help reduce or eliminate tinnitus (ringing in the ears)  
• Aroma balancing the 5th Chakra, bringing clarity, opening up communication and truth
• Healing the inner child

This is a fantastic prevention for Spring allergies and in the Fall/Winter when cold and flu season begins. 

You wouldn't believe how much illness goes around my workplace and I never contract any 'bugs'!  "Contract" being the keyword here...  I do not wish to have any contract with a bacterial bug!  

Have a safe and beautiful Spring, 

Patty

Making the Basic Lecithin Based Skin Creme
Traditional lecithin-based face and skin cremes are made with heat, and must be carefully mixed in order to achieve a good texture.

I prefer to bypass the whole heating process, and use this simpler method to make wonderful cremes that can be customized for many purposes.  The only things that can not be added to this recipe are butters--such as shea butter, cocoa butter, etc.  Butters require the traditional  heating method.

Preparation

Be sure that your workspace, jars,  and utensils are clean.  You will want to avoid contamination of the cremes, as this can shorten the shelf life of your products.

The Cold Creme Method

Cremes are made of 3 parts;  the water phase, the fat phase, and an emulsifier to bond them together, in this case lecithin.

• First, prepare your water phase.  The water phase can be composed of anything from straight water to hydrosol, herbal teas and extracts, anything that is water based.  
• If you are using added powders, raw herbs, essential oils, honey, etc., you may add it to the water phase and stir it well, allowing it to be absorbed into the room temperature water.
• Next add the lecithin.  If you are using powdered lecithin, add it to the water and let is steep awhile, waiting until the lecithin becomes a fully hydrated liquid, no longer grainy.  If using liquid lecithin, add it to the water and go directly to the next step.
• Stir well.
• If you are using more than one oil, blend them together.  Add the oil phase to the water phase.
• Use a small whip, an electric stirrer, or a small jar with a tight fitting lid.  Shake , whip, or stir the mixture for 5 to 10 minutes, until it holds the consistency of a creme.  
• Put the creme into a small jar--glass is best but some BPA-free plastics are fine too.  Always store the creme in the refrigerator to get the longest shelf life.  You can use essential oils to extend the shelf life as well, but know that it is always an experiment to see which oils will work in your recipe to actually extend the shelf life.  Experience is the key here.

Recipes

Here are a few good recipes that you can make at home.  Try them first to hang of it, then try making up your own unique recipes.  

Creme for Dry Skin

Water phase:  

6 teaspoons Rose hydrosol, with 1 drop Neroli EO and one drop Rose EO added

1 teaspoon lecithin 

Fat Phase:

1 teaspoon Jojoba

1 teaspoon Rose hip seed CO2 extract

Creme for Aging Skin

Water Phase:

6 teaspoons astragalus tea with 1 drop Rose EO and 1 drop Zdravets EO added

1 teaspoon lecithin 

Fat Phase:

1 teaspoon Carrot CO2 extract

1 teaspoon Rose hip seed CO2 extract

Creme for Acne and Rashes

Water Phase:

6 teaspoons Melissa hydrosol, with 1 drop Tea Tree EO, 1 drop Rosalina EO, and 1 drop Mastic EO added

1 teaspoon lecithin 

Fat Phase:

1 teaspoon Neem CO2 extract

1 teaspoon Rose hip seed CO2 extract

Creme for Oily Skin

Water Phase:

6 teaspoons Rose hydrosol, with 2 drops of Manuka EO added

1 teaspoon lecithin

Fat Phase: 

2 teaspoons Sweet Almond Oil

Creme for Spider Veins or Reddening Skin

Water Phase:

6 teaspoons lavender or melissa hydrosol, with one drop Geranium EO and one drop Lemon EO added

1 teaspoon lecithin

Fat Phase:

1 teaspoon Sweet Almond oil

1 teaspoon Argan oil

There are many possible combination, using any of your favorite botanical oils, CO2 extracts, and hydrosols.  The more you make this recipe, the more consistent your base cremes will begin to turn out.  Have fun, and enjoy the benefits of truly natural skin cremes.

A Little About Lecithin

Lecithin is a natural emulsifier, meaning that it bonds with lipophilic molecules, as well as hydrophilic molecules.  This is another way of saying that it joins together 2 opposing forces--water and oil.

It also has some major benefits for the skin.  It promotes deep penetration of fats and oils into the epidermis.  It also reduces inflammation and irritation of the skin.  It stimulates cell regeneration, improves skin texture, and smoothes wrinkles.  Being an anti-oxidant, it also protects the skin from free radical damage.

Although it can feel a bit heavy or stickily if used at too high of a percentage in your bases, lecithin absorbs very well into the skin.  It does have a unique aroma, but it is easily transformed by adding a drop or two of essential oils, which will over ride the subtle aroma nicely.

When you discover your own magical formula for skin creme, pleas writ in to the blog and let us share it with everyone!  We love to hear from you.

The Fantastic Five--Five Essential Oils to Take on Your Travels

There are some oils that no aromatherapist (or Mom, or adventurer) should leave home without!  Here is my list for traveling.

• Lavender--Lavender essential oil has so many uses.  I have found that it soothes altitude sickness, helps us relax and sleep in a new environment, soothes sunburn, and is great for all of the little cuts, wounds, and owes that one can get at the beach, hiking in the woods, or anywhere.  I have even used it to ease nausea when I ate something that did not agree with me, by massaging my abdomen with lavender in a circular motion.  It has so many uses that it should never be left behind!
• Peppermint--Peppermint essential oil is useful in emergency situations.  I always use it when anyone is involved in an accident that is more than a minor scratch.  Just a drop of diluted peppermint under the tongue can bring someone back quickly if they are beginning to go into shock.  I like to take this one along in a 8% dilution with water and a few drops of stevia.  It is stimulating too, and can help us re-enegize when we feel like our internal clock wants us to sleep in the daytime...  Just a few drops orally can give us an energy boost.
• Basil, Thyme, or Oregano--Any of these three oils would be a great help if one is exposed to any type of virus or bacterial infection.  They can be placed in a capsule (not ahead of time!) and swallowed to give the immune system a real boost.  Or they can be applied to a skin infection topically.  Instead of spending much of your vacation  on the toilet or in a hotel room in misery, you could take several doses of one of these oils on the first day that you feel any symptoms, and it can be gone the next day.  
• Ginger--This is one great essential oil for abdominal issues of all kinds.  It can eliminate the worst acid reflux, indigestion, or abdominal pain (not associated with appendicitis).  Again, I like to use it in a 8% dilution, with water and stevia.  Several drops under the tongue or in a small amount of water can do the job.  It is also helpful for motion sickness, and relieves menstrual cramps in many cases.
• Ruh Juhi Attar, Ylang ylang, or Combava Pettigrain --Or any essential oil that has a stabilizing, calming, and uplifting effect for you personally.  This will become your perfume, your companion on the journey, and your friend.  It is great to have a beautiful aroma to anchor your experiences on your journey.  Aroma is processed in the same area of the brain as memory is stored, and many times aroma can evoke memories that we can not access any other way.  Choosing an oil to help you anchor these memories is fun, and can help you return to them any time that you want to, by inhaling more of your favorite aroma.  

These are my chosen set of traveling aromatics.  There are so many options for these purposes, that I am excited to learn of your choices and would love to hear your stories!

Many thanks,

Kathryn

A Possible Ebola Virus Natural Protocol

Hi friends,

Here is an article that I published over a year ago, and decided to publish again with some updated changes based on what has been discovered about this disease in the last couple of years.

Wikipedia has this to say about Ebola.  Read about it here. 

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebola_virus_disease

Because this disease is spreading globally, and has now shown up in the USA and UK; Saudi Arabia; China; Thailand; and the Philippines; it seems that the World Health Organization is pondering labeling it as a Global Health Threat.  

The disease is caused by the Ebola virus, and is transmitted by primates, fruit bats, porcupines, and other animals of the West African rain forests.   It can be caused by handling or eating infected animals.  Some animals, especially the fruit bat, can be carriers without having any symptoms of the disease itself.   

Ebola virus disease (EVD) is passed between humans by close contact with bodily fluids, saliva, blood, feces, sweat, semen, etc.  There has been no known case of Ebola being transmitted through air.  (That said, protection still seems to make sense, since the consequences are very high if this is not actually the case).

Once contracted, EVD is extremely high in fatalities; between 60% and 90% of people who contract the disease will currently die.  WHO regards EVD as one of the most lethal diseases known to humanity.  There is currently no medical treatment or vaccine for this disease.

Symptoms begin with sore throat, fever, and headache, similar to influenza.  As it progresses, muscle pain and severe weakness,  vomiting, diarrhea, and impaired liver and kidney function appear.  Then bleeding sets in, internal hemorrhaging and clotting as well as external bleeding. 

A rash then appears on the body, which marks the turning point for the patient, into recovery or  a final phase of hemorrhaging fever and death.

According to a Times Higher Education article, science is searching for an herbal cure, as it is needed much faster than any drug will make it through the FDA approval system.  One of the more promising herbs is Bitter kola (Garcinia kola), an African tree seed that is quite toxic if used in high doses.  It is also on the endangered species list, so acquisition of the seed  is nearly impossible.

Another herb being investigated by science is ajowan seed, an Ayurvedic herbal remedy that makes an extremely potent antiviral essential oil.  Due to the availability of this plant, and the well known anti-viral effects that it carries, I intend to include ajowan essential oil in my emergency arsenal for the treatment of EVD.  We offered ajowan essential oil for the first time in our Winter 2014 buyers club order, and plan to continue to carry it.

Homeopathy offers the following remedies for treating EVD.  Crolatus horridus (rattlesnake venom); Bothrops (Yellow viper); Lachesis (Bushmaster snake); Phosphorus; and Merc. cor.  

It is interesting to note that, according to one homeopathic website, during the Spanish influenza epidemic of 1918,  80% of the people treated with allopathic drugs died.  Of the people who took homeopathic remedies, 80% survived.  To read more about this, check this link: 

http://www.lightparty.com/Health/EbolaCure.html.  

It is my humble opinion that Homeopathic treatment must be used in conjunction with supplemental and herbal support, if one wants to create the highest chances of recovery from EVD.

No essential oils or other herbal remedies have been proven to be effective against the Ebola virus.  That  said, many essential oils have a great potential to be extremely effective in the treatment of this virus.  I  have a planned protocol for this or a similar viral infection, which includes several essential oils, should the need ever arise.

After a lot of research, much meditation and dowsing, and very little  field tested information, here are the remedies and supplements that I would consider using in this hopefully unimaginable case.

• Constant 24 hour inhalation of the following essential oils, mixed together:  24 drops eucalyptus dives;  24 drops spike lavender; 24 drops holy basil; 24 drops clove; 24 drops geranium; 24 drops peppermint.  Diffuse constantly.
• 1 capsule 4 times daily taken internally, of the following oils mixed:  2 drops thymus vulgaris; 2  drops clove; 2 drops holy basil; 3 drops lemon; 2 drops oregano; 10 drops turmeric.
• 1 capsule, 2 times daily taken internally:  12 drops ajowan.
• If capsules can not be swallowed, I might try taking the drops mixed with a spoon of honey/water.  Even a smaller number of drops of essential oil would be better than none.
• Vitamin C—1000 mg.  or more, every 2 hours.  Massive doses may have a limiting effect on the virus.  
• Selenium—the most absorbable kind is called selenium yeast; Ebola may be selenium dependent and quickly robs the body of selenium, making it vulnerable to hemorrhaging and immune system break-down.
• Glutathione--helps circulate Vitamin C and boost the immune system.
• Grapefruit seed extract—1 teaspoon, combined with wormwood and echinacea (100mg each).  2 capsules of this mix,  twice daily. 
• Homeopathic dosage of Lachesis or Crolatus horridus twice daily, according to directions on the remedy.
• Massage oil for chest, liver, and kidney areas:  Eucalyptus globulus; everlasting; cassia bark; spike lavender; geranium; marjoram; juniper; oregano; ajowan.  
• Lots of water; some water with tiny amounts of salt and honey to balance electrolytes and counter dehydration; soothing herbal teas, such as nettles with ginger; peppermint; chamomile; or star anise. Yarrow and shepherd’s purse teas can help relieve internal bleeding.  
• 1 tablespoon of yogurt or kefir—plain with live cultures (NOT Yoplait or Danon brands or those with gelatin or added sugar), taken 3 to 5 times daily.
• Nano-silver or another good brand of colloidal silver, taken in water, 1/2 teaspoon, 6 times daily.  This is one supplement that seems to be an essential part of the recovery potential for EVD.
• Bio-active frequency generators such as the GB-4000 offer an amazing support for healing any type of viral, bacterial, or parasitic attack on the human body.  I would include daily treatments with a Rife machine or other reliable bioactive frequency generator.

I would suggest that you, as a health care professional OR a concerned citizen who wants to be responsible for your own health, should research what is currently known about this disease.  In time, it is possible that it will make its way around the world.  Much more knowledge will be gained about treating it over the next year.  Preparedness is an important piece of healing, even if you feel it is unlikely that you will ever have to deal with this disease. 

And the greatest measure that we can take as human beings against ANY disease, is making the choice to live a healthy lifestyle--eat whole foods, get proper exercise, and plenty of sleep on a daily basis.  Keeping ourselves healthy by making health a top priority goes a long way toward sustaining our body's ability to fight off and recover from viruses and infection of any kind.

It is my deepest desire that I never need to use this information, yet just by having it I feel a bit more prepared and at ease, and able to transmute any fear that comes up for me around this disease.  Knowing that there is something that we CAN do for any situation, takes us out of that powerless place that feeds disease in the first place.   

My hope is that you will also feel better by creating a plan of action and having it in place for the worst case scenario.  This protocol could be slightly altered for use with most extreme viruses or communicable diseases, as most of the essential oils suggested are effective against a wide range of bacteria as well as viral attacks.

Truly we have been given a beautiful gift, seeing with our own eyes the evolution of human consciousness in our own lifetimes.  This evolution includes healing the darkest diseases imaginable, way beyond what humanity has experienced in the past.  I always attempt to remember that we are not doing this alone!  We have great help and assistance from the spirit world, the other dimensions, and our own Divine Source; and many tools are provided for us to overcome all dis-ease and imbalance—including foods, minerals, plants, and animals that are here to help us during this time.  

In Gratitude,

Kathryn

More on Healing with Cannabis (Hemp Essential Oil)

A Buyers Club Member wrote:  

(A friend of mine) asked about Cannabis oil... she had a breast removed last year for breast cancer.  I… was wondering if you knew what kind of dilution should be used internally for cancer.  I didn't see cancer mentioned on the website.  She gave me permission to ask you. Any insight/information you can provide would be awesome!!

Thank you for this great question!

First of all, lets be clear about the cannabis oil we are talking about.  It is the essential oil, distilled from the flowers/leaves of the plant.  This particular variety is high in CBD (cannabinoids) and free of THC (the component that is illegal in most states).  

This is an herbal remedy--not a drug.  Herbal remedies vary greatly in recommended dosages, because they work differently with the human body.  Much more variation is encountered in recommendations from different herbalists, depending on the method that they use.  Here is the starting point that I would personally recommend for treating cancer.

The dosage for using cannabis oil to support healing from cancer, is different than the semi-homeopathic dosage that I would suggest for Alzheimers or pain relief (see this blog post).  It should be a higher dose, and it may be dependent on two things:  

1)  How sensitive is she to oils, herbs, and medicines?

If she is very sensitive, she should use a much smaller dose to begin with, and gradually work up to a larger dose.  

2)  How is she going to take the cannabis oil?

If she is taking it orally, it can be blended with hemp oil (vegetal, pressed from the hemp seeds, from the health food store) at a rate of 10 drops per 1 ounce bottle of hemp oil.  Her dosage should then be 1/2 teaspoon, 3 times daily.  She will need to take it at least 3 months to give it an opportunity to work.  

She could also take it orally by using a gelatin capsule, and putting 1 to 2 drops in a capsule, to be taken 3 times daily.  

If she is more interested in using it in bolus form, mix the melted shea butter with cannabis oil about 40 drops to 1/2 cup shea butter.  This will result in a similar dose.  A lot of people are using it this way, since it enters the blood stream faster through using boluses.

Remember to also tell her about eating an alkalizing diet--NO coffee,alcohol, tobacco, sugar and artificial sweeteners, or breads/pastries;  and LOTS of greens and vegetables!  If she chooses to give it a try, she needs to support it with this kind of diet too.

Lotus Absolutes

Several of our Buyers' Club Members have asked for a comparison between the Pink Lotus and White Lotus absolutes.  They both arrived a couple of days ago, and I have had the opportunity to enjoy them and develop some thoughts about them.

As I opened the bottle of Pink Lotus absolute, the aroma basically jumped out of the bottle to meet me.  It carries a strong floral top note, with a radiance that expands as you inhale.  The classic lotus heart note with its sweet/spicy powdery, mildly fruity fragrance carries rides under the top note.

The White Lotus absolute is quieter, more reserved.  As I opened the bottle, it waited for me to come to it.  When I inhaled, its rich and deep heart note aroma filled me with a happy feeling.  Its aroma is a fuller, softly fruity and floral, classic.

Though they blend well together, they are like two sisters from the same family, with different personalities.  Together or alone, these two aromatic beauties form the foundation for many possible   natural perfumes.

It is interesting to me how similar the comparison is aromatically to comparing them visually.  The pink lotus flower is definitely louder, more sensual; while the white lotus flower is softer, more ethereal.

Essential Oils for Moles and Warts

Hello again,

There is a buyers club member who has had amazing results with Thuja essential oil for treating moles and warts.  She sent these photos, with the following comments!

Mole before thuja oil treatment

Hi Kathryn,

Here are the before and after mole shots.

Roughly 10 days after using Thuja Essential Oil, it literally just peeled away.

This oil kicks butt and takes names.

As you can see this mole looked a little iffy. Cracking and bleeding, irregular shaped.

I put a little dab on my finger 2 times a day after cleaning the area well. 

Remember the fellow I gifted some to for his warts? 

He is still wart free! 

Mole 10 days later

Thank you for sharing these great photos--I see that a picture is really worth a thousand words.  

Thuja is by far the oil that most people use for removing warts and moles.  But if it does not work for you, check out this story from another buyers club member, about her daughter.

Dear Kathryn and Michael,

This email has been in my head for months! I had a conversation with Sara today and said to myself this is the day - no matter what.  She just went through an amazing healing and only thought to tell me about it after the fact.  So here's the story!

She's had a mole for years on her shoulder that never changed etc. It's been pretty hot here and she's been really loving the sun.  

She FELT this mole changing very quickly. She described actually feeling it going deeper and spreading, and could see the shape and color changing in size and texture. She goes through oils pretty quickly and it turned out the only ones she had were White Fir and a Eucalyptus.  She started putting them on twice a day with a bandage.  

The first day was uncomfortable, the second day a black ring formed around the mole, the third day the mole started to rupture.  The sixth day the mole came off on her finger. 

The seventh day the black ring sluffed off when she rubbed the ring. it's perfect now. Such an amazing story. So grateful!!!

Thank you for sending in this story.  It certainly opens everyone's minds to the fact that there are always an assortment of oils that could do the job, even though some are more commonly used for certain purposes.

We love receiving your updates, healing experiences, and learning experiences with the oils!  Stay tuned, I imagine there will be more to follow with this one.

Healing the Heart

Kathryn,

I have been asked  for healing information regarding healing the heart from damage caused by pharmaceuticals.     Dr. John Christopher used hawthorn berry for heart  issues.    I know CoQ10 is used exclusively in Japan for the elderly and all with heart issues by their medical personnel.

Any information or assistance with this would be appreciated.   The person asking is a young person.  

My reply:  

What a great opportunity this is, as I have recently had some experience in this department and I know from experience that it can be healed.    

Some wonderful healing support is available through the use of essential oils.  For a list of oils that have an affinity for healing the heart, see the Summer Seasonal Oils List on our website.  I would also include Everlasting, Vitex, and all Pines on that list.

CoQ10 or Ubiquinol, is a key ingredient for healing the heart.  There are 2 different kinds of it, and one is okay for people until about age 25, the other is better for people over 25, and generally more absorbable.  See this Mercola article to learn the difference.  

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/11/03/coq10-vs-ubiquinol.aspx

In my experience, there are several herbs that will really help with this too.  Ganoderma (AKA reishi mushroom) is a tincture that I would highly recommend taking for about  6 months, or until the symptoms have disappeared. Jean's Greens Herbal Tea Workscarries a 5 mushroom tincture that includes Ganoderma. 

(We will have a wild Ganoderma with Chagga mushroom tincture available at the Autumn Buyers Club order.  It is actually ready now, and is stronger than the Jean's Greens tincture.  I just started taking it myself and it is amazing.  Sells for $22.00/30 ml dropper bottle, or 100 ml for $60.00, no dropper.   Dosage is 11 drops, 2 times daily. Watch for it on our website).

I would also suggest  taking a tea of the following herbs daily for an extended period of time:

Nettles, schisandra berry, hawthorne berry, He shou wu (AKA Polygonum or Foti root), Goji berry, and Solomon's seal root (AKA Polygonatum or Yu zhu).  

Another key ingredient is daily powdered Goat whey (Mt. Capra Mineral Whey).  This provides the perfect combination of protein, trace minerals, and sodium (NOT salt, but elemental sodium)  that the body needs to heal the heart.  I would recommend drinking a cup every day through the healing process.  I have seen miraculous results from people taking this supplement.  It is even more important if your client is a vegan or eats minimal animal protein foods.

Finally, I would suggest for the next 6 months, to avoid entirely caffeine, carbonated beverages, artificial sweeteners of any kind, and alcohol.  All of these things in the system make it very hard for the body to do the regeneration that it needs to do over the next 6 months.

And great support can also come through wearing rose quartz, green kyanite, green tourmaline, and emerald stones as a pendant close to the heart.  Any of these will help open the blocked energy flow as the body heals, and help clear the emotional and spiritual issues surrounding the condition.  Crystals and gemstones are available from Red Hawk Oils and Crystals; and Song of Stones.

For those who are interested in healing the emotional/mental patterns causal to heart issues, one of the patterns that I am aware of is a constant belief that one is trapped;  possibly trapped in a relationship, a job, or some other situation from which there is "no way out".  For  clearing this pattern, I would suggest ruby, emerald, or malachite gemstones; Sweet Basil, Champaca, or Ylang ylang essential oils; and flower essences of Apache Plume, Cliff Rose, or Sandlily.  

Another heart pattern that is quite universal is the belief that one has been betrayed, and subsequently has closed the heart to intimacy.  For clearing this pattern I would suggest amethyst, rose quartz, green kyanite, fluorite, or green tourmaline gemstones and Sandlily or Thistle flower essences.
