FRANKINCENSE (Boswellia carterii)

THERAPEUTIC PROPERTIES: tonic, stimulant, expectorant, antidepressant, antiseptic, revitalizer, anti-catarrhal, anti-tumoral

AFFINITY FOR: respiratory system, digestive system, circulation, urinary tract, skin, cellular structure and strength, earth meridian, crown chakra

RESONANCE: mental, emotional, spiritual, physical

PLANT FAMILY: Burseraceae

PART UTILIZED: resin

EXTRACTION METHOD: distilled

AROMATIC CONSIDERATIONS: Frankincense can be used to reduce anxiety and nervous tension, and in times of stress or fear.

APPLICATION: Frankincense can be applied to any area of the body. It is of great benefit diffused.

EMOTIONAL / SPIRITUAL / MENTAL ASPECTS: Frankincense is an excellent choice for those who are afraid of death, fear coming changes in their lives, or have suffered the loss of a loved one. Helps us link the past with the future, allowing us to connect cause and effect, actions and consequences, to one another. As we make these connections, we can choose our course more wisely in the future.

PHYSICAL ASPECTS: Frankincense has a reputation worldwide for crossing the blood/brain barrier, carrying oxygen and nutrients to the pineal and pituitary glands within the brain. It is the sesquiterpenes contained in frankincense that give it this ability. (There are many essential oils besides frankincense which contain sesquiterpenes. Some of them even contain more sesquiterpenes than frankincense.)

Frankincense is useful for skin disorders and circulation problems. It has a very beneficial effect on respiratory conditions such as cough, bronchitis, and pneumonia. Frankincense is of benefit in any condition that is caused or worsened by nervous tension and emotional trauma.

GENERAL INFORMATION: Frankincense is considered a holy oil in the Middle East. It has been used since ancient times in meditations. It is said that frankincense improves communication between us and our Creator.

In ancient Israel, frankincense was used to anoint the newborn sons of kings and priests. Perhaps, the magi brought frankincense to the infant Jesus as a symbolic representation of who he really was.

Frankincense was also used during the time of approaching death. It was thought to assist a person in making the transition from life to death. Certainly, Christ's eventual death for all of us was the purpose of his life. I find the reverse symbolism of life from death - resurrection - to be equally powerful.

Frankincense was also used in the embalming of the dead. Perhaps its inclusion in the rare and precious gifts was an acknowledgement of the life and mission of the Savior of the World.

APPLICATION: Dilute and apply anywhere on the body.

EMOTIONAL - SPIRITUAL - MENTAL ASPECTS: Geranium is a very potent and aromatic oil. It is a good oil for people whose negative patterns need to be swept away in spite of their desire to hang on to them. Geranium helps one to release negative memories. It is a good oil for nervous fatigue where the body is exhausted but the mind just won’t let the body sit and rest. Geranium is a potent oil for those whose moods are up one minute and down the next. Geranium is a good choice for people whose drive and ambition interferes with sensitivity and spontaneous joy.

PHYSICAL ASPECTS: Geranium regenerates tissues and nerves. It is excellent for skin disorders and skin care, and is especially nice for the skin of expectant mothers. Along with the essential oil blend ^LeDeeper, Geranium heals the sores of shingles.

GINGER (Zingiber officinale)

THERAPEUTIC PROPERTIES: antiseptic, stimulant, stomachic, aphrodisiac, febrifuge, expectorant

AFFINITY FOR: circulation, memory, digestive system, small intestine, stomach meridian, base chakra

RESONANCE: physical, emotional, mental

PLANT FAMILY: Zingiberaceae

PART UTILIZED: root

EXTRACTION METHOD: steam distilled

AROMATIC CONSIDERATIONS: Ginger essential oil increases physical energy and stamina. It influences how we relate to money and how we feel about our material possessions. Ginger essential oil has long been considered to be an aphrodisiac.

APPLICATION: Ginger is extremely strong—the CO2 extraction being stronger than the steam distilled version. Ginger, in both forms, must always be diluted very well and care should be taken to get only one drop if using either one in the bath.

EMOTIONAL - SPIRITUAL - MENTAL ASPECTS: Ginger is for the usually dynamic individual who has lost drive and ambition and has become apathetic and confused. The emotional impact of Ginger is absolutely uncompromising. It insists on burning away illusions and mis-perceptions and replacing them with clarity and vision.

Ginger insists that we take the initiative and be willing to tackle and complete the hard tasks facing us in our life. The aroma of Ginger strengthens our will power, activates initiative, and restores our determination. It can boost our confidence in ourselves and give us additional vitality and ambition.

PHYSICAL ASPECTS: Ginger warms the body and the soul, helping one to tap into hidden reserves of energy. Ginger has been widely recognized since ancient times as being toning and stimulating to the digestive tract and for circulation. Because it increases capillary strength and circulation, it is of benefit to a long list of physical and mental complaints. A few unusual ones are: alcoholism, loss of appetite, impotence, memory loss, and motion sickness.

Ginger seems to be an oil that is well-suited to use during the fall and winter months because of its warming properties.

GENERAL INFORMATION: Ginger mixed with Lime is one of my favorite combinations in aromatherapy. I prefer the milder, steam distilled version, for mixing with Lime. I enjoy the combination for the emotional and physical lift it provides. This mixture also disinfects and purifies while leaving a uniquely pleasant aroma behind.

CAUTIONS: Ginger is extremely potent, almost caustic. Undiluted or used too often, it may irritate sensitive skin. Ginger is phototoxic, really—one of the few essential oils I worry about the sun with much; you must avoid direct sunlight on skin to which it has been applied for about 12 hours. Never use more than 1 drop in the bath. Ginger opens the capillaries so quickly that a severe headache can result if more than a single drop is used—even with the milder steam distilled version.

GINSENG RED (Panax ginseng)

PART USED: Root

PROPERTIES: Adaptogenic, Antidepressant, Aphrodisiac, Tonic (general and specific to reproductive and endocrine/glandular organs), Nervine

SYSTEMS AFFECTED: Nervous, Reproductive, Lungs, Immune, Endocrine/Glandular

POSSIBLE USES: increased energy and immune function, blood pressure, stress management, insomnia, and a host of other things! (Please see the section on Alterative and Adaptogenic Herbs in the book for further information.)

GOLDENSEAL ROOT (Hydrastis canadensis)

PART USED: Root

PROPERTIES: Alterative, Tonic, Stimulant, Expectorant, Emmenagogue, Antiseptic, Laxative, Vulnerary, Hormone Balancing, Antifungal, Antimicrobial

SYSTEMS AFFECTED: Endocrine/Glandular, Nervine, Immune, Lymphatic, Reproductive, Integumentary, Uterine (stimulant), Cardiovascular, Digestive bitter

POSSIBLE USES: endometriosis, gum diseases, ringworm, PMS, strep throat, strokes, liver disorders

Goldenseal Root was prized during the 19th century as a cure-all, and as you can see from the list above of healing properties and the body systems affected, calling this herb a cure-all is not much of a stretch. The many healing properties of this herb are so well known that very little interest has ever been shown in research as to its usefulness. It is difficult to find a disease or condition for which Goldenseal has not been found effective by someone somewhere.

There were studies done in the late 1960s that identified hydrastine as the constituent that constricts blood vessels and stimulates the autonomic nervous system. Berberine is another vital part of Goldenseal and is responsible for a long list of healing properties. Berberine containing plants always show a broad spectrum of antibiotic activity. The action of berberine is actually considered to be stronger than that of modern antibiotics but berberine produces no side-effects. Effectiveness against strep and staph is a hallmark of berberine containing plants and usually requires only low doses for effectiveness.

Goldenseal has proven effective in the treatment of liver disorders, various cancers, and any condition that presents with lowered white blood cell counts, including chemotherapy. Prevention and recovery from strokes, improvement in the flow of bile, and the strengthening of liver function are also accomplished by Goldenseal. This herb is amazing for healing even deep wounds, particularly diabetic sores. I have witnessed this in my own family. Goldenseal is also used to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding and is used by midwives to help stop bleeding following childbirth.

A comparison between this marvelous herb and Oregon Grape, which grows in the Mountain West where I live, can be found in the chapter on Alterative and Adaptogenic Herbs.

Goldenseal grows wild in the moist mountainous woodland areas of North America and prefers soil that is well covered with dead leaves. Goldenseal has been excessively harvested and is now found only rarely in its natural habitat. Most of what is sold as a medicinal herb today has been cultivated. The plant must reach 3 years of age before the rhizomes are mature enough to contain the constituents necessary for healing properties.

GRAPEFRUIT (Citrus paradisi)

THERAPEUTIC PROPERTIES: tonic, digestive, antiseptic, anti-infective, restorative

AFFINITY FOR: urinary tract, lymphatic system, triple warmer meridian, spleen meridian, heart chakra

RESONANCE: physical, emotional, mental

PLANT FAMILY: Rutaceae

PART UTILIZED: fruit

EXTRACTION METHOD: cold pressed

AROMATIC CONSIDERATIONS: Grapefruit is uplifting to the mind and spirit. It is hard to be negative or anxious in the presence of this oil, because it promotes feelings of joy, confidence, and spontaneity. Grapefruit should be diffused or inhaled for performance stress or to cope with jet lag.

APPLICATION: Grapefruit should be diluted and applied to the feet or to areas of the body needing to release emotions, cellulite, or both.

EMOTIONAL - SPIRITUAL - MENTAL ASPECTS: Grapefruit is a very joyous and positive essential oil. It can be a ray of bright light guiding us out of darkness and depression. Grapefruit is equally good for mental exhaustion and mental tension. Grapefruit seems to address the emotional issues of self-worth and discontent with one’s body that are so often a part of anorexia and other eating disorders.

The aroma of Grapefruit is particularly suited to people who, when tense or under pressure, eat as a means of relieving stress or finding comfort. Often, the driving emotion is frustration because their too high expectations have not been met in some way. If they reacted to their frustration with anger or blame of themselves or others, a layer of guilt is added to the frustration.

PHYSICAL ASPECTS: Grapefruit is used in treatment programs for drug withdrawal and to cope with the after-effects of drinking too many alcoholic beverages. Grapefruit is an excellent detoxifier of the lymphatic system and aids the kidneys in maintaining proper fluid levels throughout the body. Grapefruit has a reputation for burning fat and cellulite.

Graprefruit essential oil contains a high percentage of limonene. Preliminary animal studies indicate the limonene protects against pancreatic, stomach, colon, skin, and liver cancers. A study done at Brigham Young University showed an 80% cancer cell growth inhibition. Purdue University reported that limonene helps 80% of carcinomas in breast cancer to regress—with little toxicity.

Grapefruit detoxifies the lymphatic system. This makes it a useful tonic for many body systems. It is specific for water retention and the dissolving of cellulite. Grapefruit aids with gallstones, water retention, and kidney and liver disorders. Grapefruit, diluted in water, can be used as an astringent face wash for acne. Grapefruit can relieve a migraine headache and return the energy system to normal after long jet flights. Grapefruit is one of the best oils for premenstrual water retention and headache.

CAUTIONS: Grapefruit is photo-toxic. It is recommended by some experts that you avoid exposing areas of skin to which Grapefruit has been applied to sunlight or UV rays for at least 12 hours.

GRAPESEED OIL (Vitis vinifera)

EXTRACTION METHOD: solvent extracted

CONSISTENCY: medium weight, Refined is a pale yellow, Virgin is a dark yellow/brown

PART UTILIZED: seeds

APPLICATION: Can be used 100% by itself.

AROMATIC CONSIDERATIONS: Refined has a very light aroma, Virgin has a strong almost vinegar like scent.

GENERAL INFORMATION: Grapeseed Oil is another excellent choice as a carrier oil. Grapeseed, like Almond, is nourishing to the skin and can be used for hot oil hair treatments in the same way as Almond Oil. Grapeseed has astringent qualities that help to tighten and tone the skin. Grapeseed is emollient enough to be beneficial for the treatment of minor sunburns and rashes.

Of course, adding an essential oil or two greatly increases the benefits. The one drawback, as far as I am concerned, with Grapeseed Oil is that it absorbs quite a bit more slowly than Almond Oil.

HELICHRYSUM (Helichrysum italicum) (also known as Immortelle)

THERAPEUTIC PROPERTIES: antispasmodic, analgesic, expectorant, anticoagulant, hepatic, anti-inflammatory, stimulant, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, hemostatic

AFFINITY FOR: cardiovascular system, respiratory system, endocrine system, muscles, liver, skin, joints, bones, right side of the brain, throat chakra, gallbladder meridian

RESONANCE: physical, emotional

PLANT FAMILY: Compositae

PART UTILIZED: flowers, wild crafted

EXTRACTION METHOD: steam distilled

AROMATIC CONSIDERATIONS: When there are emotional blockages or repetitive behavior patterns as the result of abuse or trauma, Helichrysum can help us discover and remove them. Once these blockages have been removed, we can move on with our lives.

APPLICATION: Dilute and apply to appropriate areas such as the feet, the chest, or behind the ears.

EMOTIONAL - SPIRITUAL - MENTAL ASPECTS: Helichrysum has an affinity for the creative right side of the brain, which our culture and schooling often pushes into the background. Because Helichrysum stimulates this side of the brain, we are able to view our world and make our choices from a more balanced perspective.

Helichrysum is often used in emotional healing. It helps us get in touch with unresolved emotions and gently restores memories that have been deeply buried in the subconscious mind. Helichrysum helps release defense mechanisms and offers comfort while we are processing difficult emotions. Helichrysum promotes a calm acceptance of the changes within ourselves that may result from the processing of emotions and memories. It also helps supply the needed self-confidence to make hard decisions.

PHYSICAL ASPECTS: Helichrysum is renowned for its use in rejuvenation of skin and muscle. It drains congestion and reestablishes blood flow to traumatized areas, helping bruises and hematomas to disperse more quickly. Helichrysum regenerates damaged tissue and can help prevent scarring at the site of an injury. Helichrysum is recommended for lowering cholesterol. Helichrysum is anti-inflammatory and analgesic, making it excellent for sciatica and arthritis.

Helichrysum is an excellent oil for respiratory conditions and for lymph drainage. It is stimulating to the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and vascular system. Helichrysum, diluted with a carrier oil, has been used in many cultures as a sunscreen.

GENERAL INFORMATION: Helichrysum (immortelle) is a very delicate, yet hardy in its own way, plant. There is often a great deal of difference in aroma and therapeutic properties from one year to the next. Differences can even occur from one distillation to the next, even in the same growing season. Growing conditions, such as the amount of rain, can have a tremendous impact on the delicate Helichrysum blossoms.

The better the growing conditions, the higher the quality of the Helichrysum oil will be. The higher the quality, the more mellow and pleasant the aroma will be. The price will always reflect this. The lower priced (more pungent) Helichrysum essential oils are often very therapeutic and more practical for use situations where a lot of the oil will be needed. For this reason, many essential oil companies provide more than one Helichrysum oil at widely divergent prices.

There is a lot of confusion about the Helichrysum species. Many distributors claim that Helichrysum Angustafolia and Helichrysum Italicum are the same plant. They are certainly quite similar. As stated previously, the difference in quality of these two species of Helichrysum seems to be in the growing conditions of each year’s crop. There are many other species of Helichrysum besides Italicum and Angustifolia. Each one has unique advantages, however, none of them are as therapeutic as these two.

CAUTIONS: Helichrysum should be used with caution if pregnant. It should also be used cautiously with small children.

Depression & Anxiety Blend

This blend was created to help bring the body and spirit into perfect alignment. It does this by bringing unwanted, negative emotions to the surface of the body so they can be released.

This blend was created to help bring the body and spirit into perfect alignment. It does this by bringing unwanted, negative emotions to the surface of the body so they can be released. These negative emotions are so powerful that they have been known to cause sickness, depression, anxiety, and a general feeling of un-wellness. When these negative emotions are released, perfect alignment, clarity of thought, effective decision making, and peace can be reached.

Blue Vervain, Meadowsweet, and Mint are vital ingredients in bringing about these results. These have each been revered by many ancient cultures for their use in cleansing, balancing, and purifying the body and soul, and for their use in religious ceremonies as altar herbs.

As well, Chamomile is useful for calming, centering and balancing. It is a very soothing herb that helps bring peace. One example is in the alleviation of nightmares in children.

Herbal Balance helps facilitate the release of negative, unwanted emotions and can bring healing to all levels of the soul. This combination of herbs is so powerful that often people can feel it working by just being around the product or smelling it. This is not always a pleasant feeling though. As well, if the emotions are not dealt with that are being brought to the surface, it can cause unease and a feeling of discomfort. Please refer to this article by Deepak Chopra that can help with the release of these emotions.

Use this product topically before starting the emotional release process, and during the process as needed on areas that may become painful or tense. Can be applied to back of neck, wrists, or other sensitive areas.

Daily use of this product can keep the body free of unwanted emotional damage. Over time the body and spirit adjust to releasing emotions freely without the labor required in the beginning.

External use only.

Ingredients: Coconut Oil, Beeswax, Elder Flower, Blue Vervain, Chamomile, Spearmint, Meadowsweet, Vitamin E

Warning: Due to the use of Blue Vervain, this salve is not recommended for use if you have any heart conditions or history of heart conditions.

A soothing restorative blend used to relieve symptoms associated with infection, insect bites, and skin conditions.

This product is a powerful blend of some of the most fundamental soothing and restorative herbs that are known. Traditionally, comfrey, goldenseal, and frankincense have been used in wound care.

Comfrey has been called the “knitter, or healer plant,” and it is said that “comfrey is one of the greatest herbs God has ever given to man (The Little Herb Encyclopedia, pg. 63-64).” We know of it being used in this role since 400 BC.

Along with it being a powerful “healer,” this blend also has strong spiritual uses due to the inclusion of Frankincense, with religious cleansing rituals being one example of this. As the Comfrey, Goldenseal, and Frankincense, work on the physical level, the spiritual properties of Frankincense are also working, cleansing and healing from the inside out.

Herbal Classic may be used topically to affectively relieve the physical symptoms associated with infection, insect bites, spider bites, chafing, eczema, acne, cuts, scrapes and many other skin conditions. Apply topically to affected areas.

As mentioned before, Herbal Classic can also be used for “spiritual healing.” For spiritual healing, use on any part of the body that you desire. It’s suggested to first apply on the back of the neck, wrists, or around your belly button, then elsewhere as needed for spiritual or physical relief.

External use only.

Ingredients: Olive Oil, Goldenseal, Beeswax, Comfrey Leaf, Lanolin, Vitamin E, Frankincense Oil

Nerve Pain & Toxin Release Blend

May be useful in relieving nerve pain by targeting and removing the negative electrical energy caused by nerve issues or nerve damage. 

Herbal Detox may be useful in relieving nerve pain by targeting and removing the negative electrical energy caused by nerve issues or nerve damage. This in turn can increase circulation and help reduce inflammation. Nettle, Oregon Grape, White Pine, and Meadowsweet, are the main ingredients used to produce this result.

Nettle has traditionally been used to open the vessels, thus increasing circulation and uplifting a weary body, relieving fatigue and exhaustion. It has also been used to dispel darkness and fear and to drive off evil and negativity.

The second ingredient, Oregon Grape, is known as Yerba de la Sangre, “herb of the blood,” in the Spanish-American tradition, indicating its widespread use as a blood purifier. As this herb is purifying the blood it is allowing the detox process to take place.

The third, White Pine, has been used by many Native Americans as a warming, circulation stimulating, herb in many herbal healing combinations. It has also had spiritual significance by providing strength, grounding, and growth, as well as cleansing and repelling negativity.

The fourth herb, Meadowsweet, has been thought to treat many conditions involving uric acid deposits and subsequent inflammation and pain. It has also had a purpose in helping during times of distress by removing disharmony and tension in the spirit and body.

Apply topically to painful areas of the body as needed. This blend works well in conjunction with the Herbal Release formula.

External use only.

Ingredients: Lanolin, Nettle, Oregon Grape Root, White Pine Bark, Meadowsweet, Beeswax, Lime Oil, Vitamin E, Soy Oil

Pain & Inflammation Blend

This remedy is beneficial to the body and spirit by helping to reduce inflammation, and aid in pain management, by releasing negative energy that is held in the body. 

This topical remedy is beneficial to the body and spirit by helping to reduce inflammation, and aid in pain management, by releasing negative energy that is held in the body.

This effectiveness begins with Castor Oil as a base.  The Castor plant has been called "Palma Christe" because the leaves were said to resemble the hand of Christ, with the name likely referring to the peoples’ reverence and respect for the plant's healing abilities. Castor oil is used because it has been shown to work as an anti-inflammatory agent by sinking deep to bring healing to all levels.

Another of the ingredients, Juniper Berries, was used by the Greeks, Olympians, and ancient Egyptians medicinally and as a spiritual purifier. Juniper Berries were thought to help purify the aura, clarify thought, and protect from negativity.

The third ingredient that contributes substantially to the success of this ointment is Gotu Kola, the Herb of Enlightenment. It is thought of as the “spiritual herb” with references to this plant showing up in classical Ayurvedic and Daoist medical texts being used anciently in India and China. This herb contributes to a balancing and harmonizing effect on the mind, body, and spirit. 

As stated above, this herbal combination can help reduce inflammation and help in pain management by releasing negative energy.  Use topically on inflamed and painful areas.

For energy release, rub a small amount on the back of hand, back of neck, or elsewhere as desired.

Topical use only.

Ingredients: Castor Oil, Almond Oil, Beeswax, Juniper Berries, Gotu Kola, Peppermint Leaf, Orange Oil

Warning: Due to the use of Castor Oil, this salve is not recommended for use during pregnancy.

Refrigerate after opening to lengthen shelf life.

Stress Relief Blend

This blend helps lift the Spirit, elevate the mood, and reduce the effects of stress. 

Herbal Sunshine is a blend that lifts the Spirit and elevates the mood. It brings calmness and peace to your soul. Sunflower Oil is the base in this blend. As a sunflower grows the sunflower head follows the sun across the sky each day. This helps create many of the properties that sunflowers possess. Sunflower oil helps create a relaxed, comfortable happiness–the same feeling you get on a warm, sunny day.

One ingredient, Myrrh, has been a popular remedy for thousands of years. It has been used ritually to purify, lift the vibrations, aid contemplation and meditation and create peace. Myrrh brings comfort and helps ease the troubled soul in its grieving. It has antiseptic qualities as well, and helps the body heal itself.

Another herb, Hyssop, has been used since Biblical times. The word “Hyssop” is of Greek origin and means “holy herb.” Psalms 51:7 states: “Purge me with Hyssop, and I shall be clean.” As noted, it was believed to be used for cleansing and purifying the body (The Little Herb Encyclopedia, pg. 124). It has also been used to raise the vibration and to bring protection.

A third ingredient, Angelica Root, gives courage and brings calm to those pained by fear and anxiety. Like a guardian angel, Angelica provides inner strength and guidance. It promotes self-confidence and radiates a glow of health and happiness.

The final herb that is used in this blend is Skullcap. Skullcap is best known for its excellent nervine properties. It is calming and relaxing and can be used in cases of anxiety, insomnia, stress related conditions, panic attacks and depression. It can also help to relax tense muscles, especially when their tightness is due to stress.

Use topically to help elevate mood, reduce stress, and lend a feeling of peace and calm. Apply to back of neck, wrists, or other desired pressure points on the body. May also be beneficial to apply to painful or tense areas of the body to help reduce pain.

External use only.

Ingredients: Sunflower oil, Beeswax, Myrrh Gum, Hyssop, Skullcap, Angelica Root, Vitamin E
