Hi Gloria,
This case study is pretty impressive. Might I add that my daughter had not yet picked a dominant hand by the age of 4 almost 5. She used both to throw, write, brush her teeth etc.
I bought the vetiver (smells like peanut butter to me), and Brain Power. Within weeks she picked her dominant hand and is now progressing with learning. We thought she would be ambidextrous. She also wrote her name upside down as though it were reflected off of water. She now writes it right side up. I
placed the 2 oils on her big toes....on top and on the sides where the 2nd toe touches.
ADD/ADHD Case Study with Essential Oils with Dr. Terry Friedman MD
CASE STUDY
This case study was conducted for two years, from 1999-2001. Using Children between the ages of 6 to 12 years. Twenty subjects not diagnosed with ADD/ADHD were used as the control group. Twenty subjects with a confirmed diagnoses of ADD/ADHD were used as the study group. Each group was pre-tested using a baseline evaluation with real time EEG and The T.O.V.A. Scale. The essential oils chosen for the case study were Lavender, Vetiver, Cedarwood and Brain Power (a blend of Frankincense, Sandalwood, Melissa, Cedarwood, Blue Cypress, Lavender and Helichrysum.) The oils were administered in this fashion: one of the oils were administered by inhalation 3 times a day for 30 days. An inhalation device was also used at night to administer a continuous inhalation of oil. The subject then inhaled when needed, about 3 times during the day when they began to feel "scattered". The inhalation of the oils proved to settle the brainwaves back into normal patterns and improved their scholastic performance and behavioral patterns. Each subject was tested on each oil for 30 days and then reevaluated by testing. Then another oil was used for 30 days and reevaluated, until each of the oils had been tested. Lastly, oil combinations were used, each for a 30 day period. (Brain Power with Lavender, with Cedarwood, and Vetiver.) The final results were: Lavender increased performance by 53%, Cedarwood increased performance by 83% and Vetiver increased performance by 100%. This study will be published in the American Medical Association Journal later this year. JOYgroup-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
