Allergies Last year I began taking Sulfurzyme for something else and noticed within TWO WEEKS that I had no allergies whatsoever. I haven't been plagued by anything since! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I started using Allerzyme this year & I have I improved my allergy suffering by about 80%! It appeared to have stopped a most of the sneezing, running nose. My nose still itched a little & my eyes bother me, although not as bad as without the Allerzyme. It is important to take 3x a day. Sometimes I would forget & the symptoms would return pretty quick. It is my opinion that while Allerzyme is not 100% effective, it is better than taking the liver toxic over the counter & prescription medicines. It is a very effective tool against allergies. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My niece & nephew were visiting, ages 16 & 13 and their eyes were really itching them so I filled a capsule with 1/2 lavender, 1/2 peppermint and within 10 minutes the symptoms stopped.....I had the sneezies happen to me, but I was at work and only had lavender so I took a capsule full and sneezies were gone. I didn't think I had allergies, but was told the pollen was high and it had been mentioned on the news. Whatever! It worked! Kathy Kouwe ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I had been living with a "stuffy nose" for probably about 20 years when I found the oils. What I was really dealing with was a combination of food allergies and environmental allergies. (confirmed by doctor's tests) This caused repeated sinus infections, often recurring several times a year. I had two sinus surgeries, but they didn't really help much in the long run. A Kleenex box was my constant companion. (People used to joke with me that I should buy stock in the Kleenex company) Since I found the oils (soon 3 years ago) I have not once taken antibiotics, and I used to have to resort to it all the time. Lately I have not even had the beginnings of a sinus infection, but earlier, when I could feel one coming on, what I did was heat up a big pot of water. Then I would take a big towel and lean over the pot and cover my head, as I put oils in, one drop at a time - then breathe deeply - then another drop and so on. I just looked in the EODR. Collected all the oils and blends that I had that were listed in the section for sinus infection, and went through them one by one. I would repeat this daily, until my nose cleared. This was the first time ever that I did not have to resort to antibiotics - and I have not had a full blown sinus infection since I started using the oils. As for clearing the allergies, for me it was a matter of avoiding the foods that caused them (mainly dairy) and also taking enzymes every day and with every meal, as well as taking MSM on a regular basis. Enzymes & MSM truly do make a big difference in staying well. Good luck, Boel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi- Lavender is great for allergies, just rub it around the ears and on the throat. It can also be used in the feet. Nel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I remember Harmony was suggested for allergies, especially good for the feet. Judi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here's my 23 year-old son's allergy testimonial. He's still not having symptoms this year. Every spring for the past 20 years our son has suffered from hay fever. It quickly turns into season asthma and he's miserable. You know what I'm talking about if you live in the Willamette Valley (Oregon). The Native Americans called it "The Valley of the Sick". Many years he's ended up using a nebulizer sucking very strong medications into his lungs several times a day. This year we talked to him about doing things differently - using some of Young Living's products to "nip it in the bud". we did the research and in early April, he started the Cleansing Trio. At the same time, he started using Power Meal, Sulfurzyme, Master Formula, and Mineral Essence along with essential oils of Lavender, Roman Chamomile, Lemon, Peppermint, RC and Raven. He applied the RC and Raven to his sinuses and chest and felt immediate relief from congestion. We also suggested that he eliminate dairy products and wheat from his diet. He's eliminated diary and reduced the wheat. We insisted that he stay in close touch with us so we could monitor his condition. After two days of this protocol, he called to say that he had no symptoms and felt increased energy. Four days into it, he reported, "This Power Meal is GREAT! I've got so much energy. I played basketball outside for the past three days. Mom, I feel great". Now he's selling the stuff to his boss and coworkers. He loves applying Peppermint to the back of his neck and uses it and Lemon in his water. He diffuses the RC and applies Lavender and Roman Chamomile to the bottom of is feet and reports that he's sleeping like a baby. Our research made it clear that people with allergies need to work on their immune systems, so we've ordered ImmuPower, JuvaTone and ImmuneTune for phase 2. We're staying in close touch, but so far, we're all amazed. What a difference - a safe, healthy difference! Sharon Castle Eugene, OR ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I became interested in Young living Essential Oils after listening to The Missing Link tape. As a nurse, I was doubtful that any oil rubbed into my skin could do so much, but was inquisitive enough to take a chance. How glad I am that someone gave me the tape to listen to! By Using Peppermint and R.C. I was able to stop my allergy medicines. By rubbing Peace and Calming on my wrists I stopped using Benadryl for sleep. And I could go on and on for all the uses the oils have in my life." Gloria DeHart ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have posted several ideas on Joy regarding allergies. This morning I awoke to the realization that I haven't mentioned the value I have received from Spruce. I used to use a cortisone inhaler (for many years) to relieve symptoms. I woke up this morning with alot of sinus stuff going on so I applied about three drops of Spruce to my sinuses and the bottoms of my feet and found a great deal of relief as Spruce has a cortisone type action. I have been using a variety of oils and been off of meds for a year now. Spruce has been an important oil in achieving that. Blessings and happy oiling, Shirley McKinney ************************************************* Hi Janet! I don't know if I had an allergy, but I had some of the symptoms a week or so ago, and I used Harmony on my sternum, and lavender over my nose and nasal passages which helped me for several hours. No more symptoms now. ************************************************* Greetings Colleen, My son had big time allergies at this time of year and what I had him do was apply a drop of Lavender oil at the sinus areas. Sides of the bridge of nose and between the eye brow area. He's Away at college so I know he wasn't that consistent ,but it was in Dec of 1998 that he started and by spring of 99 there was a tremendous improvement. I've been encouraging him to use it still and I will see him this weekend for update. Good success! Grace and peace be multiplied to you~~Joni ************************************************* Does anyone has recommendation for Hay Fever for this time of year. I have been sneezing and blowing my nose non-stop. I have been using Immupower, is it the right oil to use? Any suggestions.... ******************************************** I've been using Valor for the last few months as an aftershave. I have not suffered from hay fever so far this year and my sinusitis is gone. Thieves, RC and Raven can also help. You might try using the new Thieves bar soup. I use it all the time. I put Thieves on a couple times a week when I have some. Ken !~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've been using Valor for the last few months as an aftershave.

Ken ************************************************* I had allergies to all trees and grasses and my daughter who was 11 at the time was allergic to molds, cats saliva, grass, dust, etc., we used to go for allergy shots, then brought the shots home and tried Hisminal, Claritin, anything over-the-counter. I was so bad once I went on Predispose until the side effects were so bad I decided to try Lavender oil that I had been told about but didn't believe. Within two weeks of using 2 drops of lavender on the bottom and 2 drops applied to the forehead, temples and back of the neck I noticed dramatic results. I have not used over-the-counter medicine since or needed to. I can mow the lawn and have no trouble. If it's a really high pollen day, I use 1 drop of lavender on a Q-tip and swab my nostrils. Gotta love these oils.

I am more than pleased to report that the Springtime hay fever that my 21 year old son had suffered from is no longer a problem at all! I had him use the 1 drop of Lavender oil (1 drop) on an index finger smear on the other index finger and apply on the sides of the bridge of the nose up to between the eyebrows. Now I had him do this for a months prior to the season and should have asked him how often he's been doing this lately. Let me tell you very frankly this kid used to suffer miserably! With the itchy eyes, nose blowing, sneezing repeatedly for almost 2 months. SO we're praising Jesus who made all things and w/o him was nothing made! Amen and Hallelujah! Grace and peace~~Joni ************************************************* ALLERGIES / SINUS / ASTHMA My Personal Story~ April Travis I used to have all kinds of allergies and asthma and was on everything from Seldane, Sudafed, steroid inhalers that caused heart palpitations, dry eyes and mouth and even on a breathing machine (nebulizer) at one point. Now, with the help of these oils, my allergies are almost non-existent and I am continuing to work on it. If you have never heard of Essential Oils here is a short explanation of what they are. Essential oils are the volatile liquids that are distilled from various parts of plants, including seeds, bark, leaves, stems, roots, flowers and fruit. They are highly concentrated and far more potent than dried herbs. The essential oils of the plant and the human blood share several common properties: They fight infection, contain hormone-like compounds, and initiate regeneration. Working as the chemical defense mechanism of the plant, essential oils possess potent antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. The molecules of essential oils are also relatively small, giving them the ability to easily penetrate the cells. When topically applied to the feet or elsewhere, essential oils can travel throughout the body in a matter of minutes. Young Living is the firmly established leader in the Essential Oils Industry. It is the only company of it's kind that grows from seed, harvests in greenhouses, distills and packages to make sure that there are no pesticides or chemicals of any kind in the product so you are getting Grade A Pure Organic Essential Oils. If you look at other oils in health food stores, they are only perfume quality and not Therapeutic (medicine)...Tip: They must be Afnor/Iso approved oils) Here's what I did: (NOTE: THIS HAS SAVED ME THOUSANDS OF $$ ON ALLERGY MEDICATIONS, ALLERGY SHOTS & IN THE PAST, MISSED TIME FROM WORK. NEEDLESS TO SAY, NO MORE SIDE EFFECTS FROM THOSE HORRIBLE DRUGS AND OVER THE COUNTER MEDS!) Got a Young Living diffuser and diffuse "Purification Oil" into a room with the door closed for 20 minutes a day while you are relaxing in the room. This is for the chronic cough. Any molds and allergy causing bacteria in the air cannot live in the presence of this oil. Got "R. C." Oil and put 2-3 drops in my hands. Rub them together, cup over nose and inhale 3 times deep. Also put 2 drops on chest and throat. This is a blend of (4) different kinds of eucalyptus and other oils. This is incredible for breaking up mucus, in the head, the lungs and anywhere else it builds up. This is the one that stops me from wheezing and coughing and lets me breathe so much better. You can also get "Peppermint". If you ever get stopped up and can't breathe thru your nose, you'll love this one. My husband puts 1 drop on his tongue and in then inhales it in. Then with the oil still on his fingers he rubs a little on the end of his nostrils and inhales again. He can breathe in 1 second after putting it on. One more oil you should know about is "Lavender". Not only is it called Nature's antihistamine, but it great for depression. It lifts me up in 3 seconds...When my nose won't stop dripping, it dries me up right away. Something I really realized while yesterday driving home. I was able to roll my windows down while on the road and smell the wonderful smell of fresh cut grass. Something I was never able to do all my life with allergies. If I did this in the past, I'd sneeze probably 20 times in a row and then be a wreck for several hours. Since using Young Living Products: cleansing, oiling, supplementing and eating a good diet over the last 4 years, something worked! I can honestly say I AM ALLERGY FREE...and in Texas, where there are trees, molds, dust, grasses, hay, etc.!!! I would have never believed it! I try to eat as healthy as I can - no sugar, no white flour, no dairy, organic vegetables, hormone free chicken, little meat, no coffee or pop, no white bread, no processed foods, and also no chemicals in the household products or personal care products. I believe this has all helped. Recently, 5/2002, I've begun ingesting Eucalyptus Radiata and R. C. blend before bed and for the first time in my life, I am able to sleep with a cat on my bed and still breathe well; no wheezing or sneezing. WHAT A MIRACLE!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought I'd never be able to have furry pets. At this point in time, my Young Living monthly check pays for all of both Mark's and my products, and we use everything from toothpaste to the RainSpa Shower head. We are saving $$$ on our grocery bills and medical bills by substituting healthy from Young Living for chemical laden items found at the grocery store; and it gets delivered to our door. What a wonderful blessing this has been for us! UPDATE, 2/2003: We have now added a puppy to our family. Since all allergies happen because of poor digestion and a weak immune system, I started by working on those body systems. Products I use for allergies, sinus & asthma: Internally: Cleansing Trio Kit Vitagreen supplement Sulfurzyme Powder (a must have) Externally: R.C. Oil Blend Purification Oil Blend Peppermint Oil Lavender Oil Diffuser ************************************************* To Order Young Living products please consult with the person who referred you.
