This week, with concern for his weight loss (we upped his calorie intake with more avocados, etc.,) and other minor issues, I decided it was time to give him a "Sympathy of Oils" back rub. I gave him one three nights ago and again last night. He commented that after the oils rub the first night that he was able to move his toes better, they weren’t so stiff.
Sympathy of Oils Instructions
Use therapeutic grade oils, not cosmetic grade. They are more concentrated and more pure.
Thyme and Cloves are hot oils, so they need to be diluted. I put 8-10 drops of fractionated coconut oil (but good olive oil can also be used) from the spine to the neck and rub it in a little. That will help dilute those two oils.
I open all the bottles and line them up so I can go from one bottle to the other easily.
Start with frankincense and rub a little on the bottom of the feet and then on the shoulders. Only the frankincense needs to go on the bottom of the feet and the shoulders.
The order of the oils in important:
Put 5-8 drops of the first oil and starting at the spine gently massage in into the spine starting at the base of the spine rotating clockwise and in small circles up the spine to the neck. Repeat three times with each oil. Order of Oils:
Frankincense
Thyme
Cloves
Aroma Touch
Lemongrass
Melissa
Patchouli
Bergamot
Peppermint
Cover the back with a towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
Repeat how often? I don’t know. The oils oxygenate your body so when in the crisis at the beginning ALS symptoms especially with breathing issues, I would probably do it once a day.
Frankincense and Melissa are the two most expensive oils. Melissa being over $200 for a tiny bottle, but I bit the bullet and did it and now need more. I also did not use the 8-10 drops recommended because Kim had already had done an amazing job of reversing so many symptoms, so I used 4-6 drops. But you determine where you are at in your healing needs and go from there.
The Aroma Touch is a blend of oils. I have researched a bit on other brands of essential oils besides doTerra, and find that different companies have different blends. I have no idea whether one company is better than another. I stuck with the doTerra because I know people to call who could help me. I had tried therapeutic grade Oil of Oregano I bought from a health food store. It seemed to have no effect in helping my sinus problem, but when I got the doTerra Oregano, I noticed a difference in just a few days.
It should be noted that this Sympathy of Oils therapy should only be done 2-3 times per week. If you want to get additional benefit from those oils, you could put a few drops of three of the oils in a capsule and take them internally. Then another day you could take another 3 oils, etc.
