There is always one challenge or another that is taxing our
immune system and now it's the flu. There will always be a
"bug" that is trying to take over. It's been the path of
history and plagues. What's important is what we are doing for
the health of our body or as some say the "inner terrain" of
our body. Good immune defenses will keep us from getting sick
... or from getting as sick and recovering quicker if it does
hit us.
This is where "individual dosages" comes in. The reason I
developed The Good Medicine Tin® over 14 years ago around my
kitchen table was so that people didn't need me to make up
blends. With 5 pure essential oils and a Guide booklet, people
could make up what they need, in the strength they need for
each situation. This is an important concept when you are
dealing with preventive medicine to build up good immune
defenses or dealing with a case of the flu which requires
higher "dosages" or strengths of blends and usage. As my
practice developed, clients wanted the convenience of the
blends. Thus our ready-made formulas came into being.
The "individual dosage" theory still holds true with any
of our formulas that we now offer. For example, when
you're tackling a cold or flu, you can make the
Ear/Nose/Throat Oil stronger by putting about 10-12 drops in
your palm and adding 1- 2 taps of pure Eucalyptus Oil which is
in the Cold-Flu Pak. Then use this as an ear, sinus, throat
and chest rub. A little can be applied inside the nose because
it in mixed in a base of Organic Golden Jojoba. Put some on a
Q-tip and swab your throat. You can use any of the essential
oils that are already in the formula to "charge" this palm
blend. For example, you might prefer to make it stronger with
Lavender or Tea Tree instead of the Eucalyptus.
The goal of our OLA Cold-Flu Pak it that you have
three ready made formulas set to assist you on your path of
good health. However, you can make any of the 3 formulas in
the pak stronger when you need them. Traveling on airplanes
and in crowds for self-defense is a time to do this. You can
add 1-2 taps of Eucalyptus to the ENT Oil, the Vapor Rub, and
the Lavender-Peppermint Mist for added protection.
Individual dosages is the answer to the overall
effectiveness of Aromatherapy. Put together your survival
kit of essential oils to strengthen your defenses and keep you
healthy. Consider The Good Medicine Tin® or the Cold-Flu Pak
as your base and build with other single pure essential oils,
a base Organic Golden Jojoba (which is already in The GMT),
and some formulas that you can use as is or make stronger.
You can make any of our formulas stronger, by putting the
formula in your palm and adding 1-2 drops of any of the
essential oils that are already in the formula.
