Multiple Sclerosis and doTerra Essential Oils “Multiple sclerosis (or MS) is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system (CNS), which is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another. Today, new treatments and advances in research are giving new hope to people affected by the disease.” National Multiple Sclerosis Society. M.S. is an autoimmune disease wherein the body’s immune system erroneously attacks the nerves of the body. Some researchers think M.S. is caused by a virus and others think there is a strong genetic component. Sometimes it is difficult to diagnose M.S. because in the early stages the symptoms can come and go. In doing research on using essential oils for M.S., one of the most succinct summaries I found was by Melissa at doterralife.wordpress so I am including it here: doTERRA Essential Oil Users Have Found The Following To Assist In Multiple Sclerosis Support: Initial Cleanse The Life Long Vitality supplements are a must. Start taking them as soon as possible. Do the GX Assist and the PB Assist in a protocol of 10 days GX, 5 days PB, wait 10 days and repeat, wait 10 days and repeat. Wait two months and repeat again. This is a cleanse specifically designed for auto immune disease. Drop 2-3 drops of Frankincense under the tongue 4 times a day for two weeks. —— Ongoing Support: Continue the Lifelong Vitality supplements Morning: Topically apply Peppermint to the bottoms of the feet, take internally, and diffuse. During the day: add 1-3 drops of Lemon to each glass of water. (drink lots of water-use glass containers ONLY) Evening: Topically apply Frankincense to the bottoms of the feet, take internally, and diffuse. Make a mix of following MS recipe: · 10 drops Helichrysum · 10 drops Frankincense · 10 drops Sandalwood · 5 drops Basil · 3 drops Peppermint Rub 1-3 drops of the MS recipe on brain reflexology points, the forehead, temples and mastoids (just behind the ears) and massage 6-8 drops of oil blend from the base of the skull down the spine - Additional Help: Other protocols (Listen to your body, it will tell you what you need). Consider the following for their benefits: · If a flare up or an exacerbation occurs layer (topically apply one oil after another with 1 to 5 minutes between) Peppermint and Frankincense on the bottoms of the feet and/or the affected area. · If choking put 2-3 drops of Frankincense in a shot glass half full of water and swallow slowly. · If discouraged diffuse Citrus Bliss or other uplifting oils. · To prevent picking up a infectious disease (that might trigger an exacerbation) diffuse OnGuard or Purify regularly. Rub OnGuard on the feet nightly. ============ Also consider these oils in supplemental ways: · Helichrysum – strong regenerative properties for nerve tissue · Sandalwood – similar properties as frankincense (antibacterial, antiviral, soothing) · Clove – one of the strongest agents to kill pathogens — Testimonials Michele - Using essential oils to help with MS has been a real blessing. The LLV made a difference in energy in 3 or 4 days. Using peppermint and frankincense for numbness and tingling symptoms was almost immediate. My neurologist know of my using essential oils and is supportive. A side benefit is that with the LLV plus the doTerra Skin Products I am told I look 15 years younger. Heide- To help with my MS I initially tried frankincense and had such positive results I decided to use other products. When I started using the LLV supplements I felt a definite difference in a week. When I have had episodes of lost feeling or numbness in my limbs.
