Aromatherapy Oils and the Herpes Virus - One Person’s Success Story
The Herpes Simplex virus (or HSV) could be a tough disease. It’s widely referred to as incurable, with painful skin lesions on sensitive areas of the body. The lesions reccur additional typically for some individuals than others - their ‘outbreaks’ are related to periods of high-stress. Modern medicine does not supply a cure, though there are pharmaceutical preparations obtainable to limit the frequency and period of HSV outbreaks. With a name as ‘incurable’, ‘painful’, ‘not-so-pretty’, and varieties described as ‘oral and labial’ or ‘genital’, the disease will be a very little difficult and embarrasing to mention the least.
Well, I have been through this. I’ve had the painful lesions, had to house the regular outbreaks of painful cold-sores in my mouth and on my lips (I used to be blessed with the ‘oral’ variety). I have been through those great internal debates on how to break the news to a partner (fortunately always returning that look that claims one thing like ‘Oh! I assumed you were going to tell me my cat simply died…that’s no huge deal’). Though it still appeared sort of a big deal. Regularly having those few days of feeling sort of a flu was returning on, followed by some days of outbreak - at what continuously appeared just like the worst of times. On prime of it, being an athlete, training really arduous tended to cause outbreaks likewise - weightlifting in particular. Maybe it was just very strenuous, or even I wasn’t actually a ‘weightlifter’ - but that heavy lifting would almost forever lead, once once more, to an outbreak.
I freqently wondered in the midst of those bouts with HSV if this was one thing I’d have to deal with for the rest of my life - I attempted doctor prescribed medicines, Lysine and alternative remedies, but none kept the virus at bay enough to actually create a difference.
Then somebody introduced me to essential oils, and I learned a little regarding their studied antiviral activity. I stumbled onto research performed with a certain oil called Melissa. Melissa essential oil is distilled from Melissa herb, a plant with a long history in natural medicine. The plant yields a comparatively small amount of oil compared to other aromatic varieties, therefore it’s cost looks a little high. However formal investigation has been being occurring in Europe for many years applying the oil to herpes lesions, with very promising results. One company has even extracted a element of the oil and sold it during a prescription type (though I’ve got not scan of any evidence showing the extract works higher than the oil itself).
The foremost encouraging statement relating to the utilization of Melissa on herpes was created by Dr. Dietrich Wabner, a professor at the University of Munich: he stated {that a} single application of Melissa could lead to a whole remission of the disease. A potential cure! I would figured I had nothing to lose, so I tried a little bottle of the oil.
Searching any, I found a regimine for the oils’ use. Melissa might not lead to a complete remission in just one application - alternative healers were finding success when the oil was applied to the affected space when a pestilence felt ‘imminent’. The oil was applied maybe 3 times per day during the outbreak; this was repeated the subsequent several times the user thought a pandemic may be coming on, and through the duration of the skin healing. My outbreaks were typically on my tongue at that time (though they started on the palate of my mouth). I’d get a terribly fatigued feeling for a few days, then my tongue would get what appeared like individual style buds that will feel like they were burnt (and yes, I have had medical confirmation as to their cause). I additionally had lesions on my lip, however not as often. Therefore I started the Melissa oil program - simply one drop in my mouth some times daily - and thankfully I actually liked the taste!
Well, perhaps the only dose worked for some people, but I wasn’t quite therefore lucky - though I used to be actually not discouraged. The history of Melissa and it’s healing powers was renoun, and I kept up with the program. Despite continuing to have outbreaks, they were shorter, and they seemed to occur less frequently. And once a whereas, it dawned on me - the outbreaks had stopped completely! And believe me, my life has been no less stressful - more thus if anything. Also, while outbreaks do tend to happen less freqently for some over time, I had been living with this for fifteen years and they were still fairly regular. However no matter how stressful my days were, how heavy my weight training sessions or other athletic endeavors, the outbreaks have not came back!
For individuals who might have a lot of sensitive skin than I, or have outbreaks in a lot of sensitive places, Melissa essential oil will be diluted in a vegetable or nut oil (Hazelnut oil or Rosehipseed are commonly used) to 1/tenth or perhaps less of the whole volume and be just as effective (some say that even one% will work). It’s necessary to note - and repeated many times in the literature - that taking any essential oil orally, or appliying undiluted to the skin, should be done with extreme caution - whatch your own reaction closely and proceed accordingly. I do not have expertise with application to the genital variety of Herpes simplex, but the texts don’t build a distinction - this might be where a carrier oil may come in handy. But whatever manner it’s used, the system should be followed closely: apply Melissa 2-3 times a day to the affected area when a virulent disease is on the method, and use it until the sores have healed completely. Follow this method for the following several outbreaks; there are no guarantees, but this might work for you or someone you may recognize - and what a beautiful thing it can be!
For sufferer’s of Shingles, another Herpes virus selection causing lesions of the skin, Ravensara (Ravensara aromatica, or ‘True’ Ravensara) oil has been used. Individuals have found relief using Ravensara in a fifty-fifty blend with Tamanu Nut oil. The Tamanu Nut sooths the skin throughout the healing method and keeps the Ravensara in touch with the sores. I’ve got not heard of this offering an entire cure, but I’ve got heard of this blend really helping relieve discomfort of this condition.
So if you select to use aromatherapy oils like Melissa or Ravensara yourself (or to a recommendation), realize a trusted supply for the essential oils. Realize ‘true’ varieties of each - Melissa is typically adulterated, and the real thing is mostly priced between $ten and $twenty per milliliter (concerning twenty five drops, which truly goes a protracted means); Ravensara should be of the ‘Ravensara aromatica’ variety. Be conservative with direct application - remember that diluting the oil has not been reported to scale back efficacy. Yes, I liked the Melissa oil straight, and never had a problem - but others I’ve known have had sensitive reactions - though this could are related to UV exposure. Be smart to yourself and listen to your body - could you achieve healing success!
