Essential Oil Treatment For Celiac (gluten intolerance)

doTERRA Essential Oil Treatment for:

Celiac Disease

(Gluten Intolerance)

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease wherein the body mistakenly attacks gluten and other proteins found in grains that are in the digestive tract. Celiac disease is genetic and can develop at any age in life from infancy to adulthood. What occurs is as foods with gluten are eaten the body produces antibodies to attack the gluten but these antibodies then mistakenly attack the lining of the small intestines. This damage to the intestinal lining includes the villi that are responsible to absorb nutrients and begin their delivery to other body systems. The nutrients particularly affected are fats, calcium, iron, and folate (folic acid or vitamin B9).

With deficiency in these nutrients a number of symptoms emerge that vary from individual to individual with the disease. These symptoms include:

· Abdominal pain and bloating

· Indigestion, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting

· Fatty stools (pale, large, bad odor, floating)

· Decreased (or increased) appetite

· Lactose intolerance

· Weight loss, growth problems in children

===

Some symptoms are not associated with the digestive system:

· Dermatitis herpetiformis (a skin rash)

· Anemia (iron deficiency), fatigue

· Missed menstrual periods

· Muscle cramps, joint and bone pain

· Sores in mouth

· Seizures

· Easily bruising, nose bleeds

· Dental discoloration, hair loss

· Nutrient deficiencies, malnutrition

Beyond physical symptoms depression, irritability, and behavioral changes can accompany the difficulties in diagnosing and dealing with this disease.

Celiac has been reported to be triggered by trauma after surgery, childbirth, stress, and even viral infection.

===

DoTERRA’s Essential Oil Celiac Treatment:

The following fundamentals seem common to many success experiences:

· Absolutely avoid gluten

· Cleanse using doTERRA’s GX Assist

==

Autism, Asperger Syndrome and ADHD.

Like other health concerns these disorders may be helped at multiple levels. Since many of the symptoms (behaviors) are common between the two disorders there will be benefits from the same oils. As you work with the oils you will find what works best for your child as well as the mode of application.

Testimonials:

Kathy - I have heard that much of the lack of focus and hyperactivity with Asperger's Disorder comes from 3 main things:

1) Sleep deprivation

2) Nutritional deficiencies

3) Yeast (see "Feast Without Yeast" by Bruce Simon, MD)

If you break it down like this, it makes tackling Asperger’s easier.

For sleep deprivation, I would consider testing for oils that would be calming or relaxing to them. I.e. Lavender, Ylang Ylang, Marjoram or Sandalwood. Or the oil blend Serenity. Find the right oil or blend and apply to his feet at bed time and/or spray his pillow with a mist blend and/or diffuse the oil at night. Keep the spray around for “meltdowns” and always have a high protein snack to get his blood sugar under control. I would find a good “granola bar” type recipe and make them.

For nutritional deficiencies, if age appropriate consider doTerra’s supplement capsules. For younger folks even a ½ dose of the wellness pack supplements will have incredible benefits. The capsules can present a problem with younger children (and even some adults) but, with some coaching and practice, if they are aware of their benefits they will adapt. Obviously make his diet a priority. Healthy, raw, and high in vegetables and fruits. No processed foods, no foods high in sugars.

Finally, for yeast, again, if they can handle swallowing capsules, get them on doTerra's Candida protocol. If not, at least massage the oils into the feet daily.

I would also recommend at least weekly spinal technique massage, using Vetiver oil and Clary sage oil instead of eucalyptus oil. Diffuse peppermint oil or lemon oil. For children while they do their homework or other constructive activities.

Another useful thing might be an ADD protocol, including giving them a clay necklace and putting 5-6 drops of Vetiver and balance on it and teaching them to smell it daily if they feels anxiety.

Experiment with the oils and try to find ones that they react well to in given situations. Find a “favorite” oil and incorporate it into the protocol. Most important, love, attention, time, prayer, fasting and faith. This is all hard work, and is certainly much easier to write out than to do… but when we have special children like this; God and our love and attention will turn their weaknesses into their strengths.

Erica - I have to share this amazing story - especially if there may be someone out there who could benefit from it!

My friend has a little boy who had complications at birth that left him handicapped. He lays on a big beanbag all day, can't talk, walk, or eat. He has a feeding tube and is on oxygen. He also receives a suppository each day to help him go to the bathroom.

I helped them get some essential oils and within the first weekend they had him on the oils they noticed a huge difference! My friend called me and said, "it was miraculous"!

Here's what they put on him...

Frankincense oil on his chest, DigestZen oil blend on his stomach, Breathe and OnGuard oil blend (alternating) in the diffuser, Breathe oil blend on his back, and OnGuard oil blend on his feet. The oils were re-applied every hour.

His response to the oils within that first weekend was that he was acting much better overall, went to the bathroom on his own (for the very first time - he's 5 years old) went off of his oxygen for the first time in months, and slept thru the night for the first time - he hasn't been able to sleep because his stomach bothers him so much.

It has been so amazing hearing his success and I'm so thankful for these oils and the benefits they give to us all! I'll let you know if anything else changes. We are going to try some additional oils.

Diabetes

Testimonial:

My story begins 8 years ago when I was diagnosed with
Type II diabetes and lived with being over weight and having a pretty sluggish feeling all the time because of the medications that I was on to control my blood sugars. I then made a life choice, that led me to come to Utah to start a new direction from the restaurant business, so my family and I came to work and learn the herbal and natural approach to changing my condition naturally. We worked really hard using vitamins and minerals, magnets and pure & alkaline waters, diet and life style changes, exercise and walking and began a regiment of rebuilding. My health was beginning to show improvement though my blood sugars really did not show the improvement I was hoping for.
It was not until I met Dr. Hill at an introductory to Oils event at our Herbs for Health Store that I asked Dr. Hill what he had to help with my diabetes and he shared with me a recipe of taking 3 drops of BASIL 3 drops of LEMON and 1 drop of OREGANO. He also recommended dōTERRA's LIFE LONG VITALITY PACK and use of BALANCE oil on the feet in the morning and LAVENDER at night.
I can't tell you how this protocol has changed my life over the past several years; I saw my blood sugars go from the 400 range and dangerously peaking into the 500 range to balancing in the low 100 range within 3 days. Still two years later I have maintained in the low 100 range. I have lost a total of 100 lbs over the 2 years and have maintained my current weight for 10 months now.

Since CORIANDER came on the line for dōTERRA and the intro of SLIM N SASSY. I have change my oils to:
3 drops CORIANDER
3 drops SLIM N SASSY
1 drop of OREGANO
2 times daily morning and evening

I can't begin to tell you how my life and health have change for the better. Both lifestyle and dōTERRA have changed my life completely. Thanks. If I can help anyone please feel free to call me I would love to share my experience and answer any of your questions. Thanks Again Vince Garcia. 801-574-1505.

Ylang Ylang oil is used in the Philippines aromatically for HPB.
"After Rob's stroke he decided to put a blend together that would keep his BP under control and get him off the meds which did not do well for him. The blend he did is listed below, he would take this blend put 3-4 drops on his hands, rub them together and applied to heart area, lymph area, wrists and to pressure points on his ear. He carries the blend with him and applies 4-5 times daily. He always smells good (lol) and is not on any medications. His BP has dropped from moderately high to normal."

Cooking with dōTERRA’s Esssential Oils

Guidelines for Cooking with dōTERRA Essential Oils

Essential oils are different from common vegetable oils such as olive, flax, sesame, or canola oils. While both have benefits, cooking with essential oils can be a healthy alternative in flavoring foods and beverages.

Key differences between essential oils and vegetable oils:

  • Vegetable oils contain glycerol, which leaves a greasy residue when applied to the skin and creates a slippery surface (i.e. in the pan); essentials oils do not create a slippery surface (unless mixed with vegetable oil)
  • Vegetable oils are 100% fat; essential oils contain no fat.
  • Vegetable oils are primarily pressed from seeds and nuts, like avocados, olives or the bran of grains
  • Pure essential oils are steam distilled from plants (with the exception of citrus oils which are cold-pressed)

How Not to Waste Your dōTERRA Oils or Ruin your Recipe

Always, start off using a single drop so as to not waste your dōTERRA essential oil, you can always add another drop if needed.

1/2 a drop or one drop may be enough to adequately flavor a big pot or bowl of your favorite recipe.

Dried Herb / Essential Oil Measurement Guideline

When a recipe calls for less than a teaspoon of an herb or spice, dip a toothpick in the center of the dripper cap and then swirl the toothpick in your recipe or beverage.

Always use the “Toothpick Method” for cinnamon bark oil, clove oil, ginger oil and oregano oil because the dōTERRA aromatherapy oils are much stronger that their companion spices.

Citrus Zest or Juice Measurement Guidelines

  • When using a dōTERRA essential oil in place of the zest of “one” lemon, orange or tangerine – you can use 8 to 14 drops of its companion essential oil. Example: Zest of “one” lemon, orange or tangerine = 8 to 14 drops of its companion essential oil.

Spices / Essential Oil Measurement Guidelines

  • One Tablespoon dried spice/spicy herb = 1/2 to ‘one’ drop of dōTERRA’s essential oil.
  • Hot or spicy herbs are: marjoram, oregano, sage, rosemary, thyme, or coriander.

Always use the “Toothpick Method” for cinnamon bark oil, clove oil, ginger oil and oregano oil because the dōTERRA aromatherapy oils are much stronger than their companion spices.

Diluting Essential Oils before Cooking (recommended)

Essential oils should be diluted/mixed in vegetable oil, almond, rice, or coconut milk prior to ingestion and/or in recipes as this helps to disperse the essential oil more effectively. As a general rule, dilute 1 drop of essential oil in 1 teaspoon of honey, or in 2 ounces of a beverage. (Honey should not be given to children under 2 years of age.)

Essential oils used in recipes: Add the essential oil right before serving. The heat will evaporate essential oils with the steam. With a few oils that are too strong – such as basil, oregano and rosemary – simmering will produce a wonderfully subtle bouquet that is wonderful.
