Hi Inga I have been using Essential Oils for about 18 years as an analgesic for the pain of Rheumatoid Arthritis. The main one I use is called "Be Relieved" by Balanced Essentials. I also used them post Mx surgery, both for pain and for their antibacterial properties. I have them mixed in 3 different carrier oils and use them daily myself and have a massage every 2 weeks using them for myofascial release by a therapist.

Aromatherapy is a very interesting therapy, but I don't know anything about using them for Cancer per se. I do know that some oils are avoided, for their estrogen properties.

I love how they feel and how they smell!

For my own personal reasons this 3rd time stage4 around I have chosen to fight cancer naturally, no chemo, no meds, no surgeries. So far I am eating strict all organic foods, no sugars of any kind, starches, carbs or fruit, stopped using any products on my body with any toxins and chemicals in them. Getting plenty of exercise, physical therapy to heal my degenerative damaged spine. No sugars as my Dr says starving the cancer cells and not doing chemo my healthy cells are thriving instead of getting damaged by toxins!!  Great Dr and his fiance the nutrionist, they are a God send! I am feeling great!!!! I am on natural supplements essential oils, and on a major cell and body detox

Inga what oils are you using?

they all burn a bit at first.  the frankincense has been the worst.  the artemesia by far the most soothing.  but who knows if the burning means curing

I alternate the artemesia with cedarwood oil.  it like artemesia also contains a good deal of thujone.  thujone itself isn't estrogenic I think

Thanks Lily, I understand now, I took Boswelia for years, for Rheumatoid, in supplement form as anti inflammatory. I thought you were talking about neat Essential Oils.

My Naturpath and the Aromatherapist who makes the blends that I use for pain and massage, both had very compelling data about how Lavender Oil is safe to use.

I have several different types in my garden and love the fragrance when you brush past it!

Anyone use Thieves essential oils?

Hello everyone. I am new to this forum and to using essential oils. Please give me suggestions on some of the oils you have used for fighting BC or just for living well. I have Young Living oils in the starter kit. I would love to also hear about Thieves oil if anyone has used it. Thank you

I am still hoping to get some feedback! I have been using them in my diffuser, but hesitate in applying them due to the hormone situation. My knee had been sore due to exercise, so I used the pan away w/ coconut oil. It did make the pain subside. I use the lemon in my water to help w/ immunity. Maybe some others will weigh in on the oils they use.

Teri-I have heard that Frankinscence has great benefits, either rubbed or diffused. there was an article that I read somewhere to be careful about rubbing certain oils if one has hormone positive due to some oils mimic hormones. I have diffused sandalwood and cinnamon because I enjoy those smell. Lavender has many relaxing traits too! Maybe some others will post.

I've sent for thyme oil & camomile oil as gary null has suggested for this trouble. will report back. will use them during the 2 months off from the oils I've been using most.

Hello Ladies;

I've used Frankincense oil on both Breasts after my shower for 4 going on five years. I also use a little carrier oil. I like Rose absolute for perfume. Rarely do i ever use lavender, as I know from having my estrogen levels measured that in fact it does raise the estrogen levls. i used it with Frankincense teh first year after treatment, and then I had a brain tumor. I never thought that was the cause though, just a misdiagnosed. I felt blessed to use the Frankincense and I don't sell YL. I like it also for arthritis and it works on my left knee. I am also using a bit of oil on my head where the tumor was removed over 3 years ago. it is studied in rats and found to be promising, and i am a firm believer in it having had no recurrence in either of my breasts. I began taking bowseilla for arthritis recently too.

All the essential oils require research and time but are wonderfully healing, and i wish our gov would get with it and study them. They are all too interested in big profits from drugs which harm us more often than cure us.

take care1

Essential Oils were essential! I made spice infused oils with coconut oil and added essential oils. I placed this in the colon by way of an enema bucket or made suppositories. It knocked the last of the cancer out using this method. I heavily used and relied on essential oils for the past 2 years.

I was successful, over 3 years, in reducing the 9cm of tumors spread across both breasts down to an 8mm lumpectomy last July. I did not start out as a candidate for lumpectomy. I had my last scans in March and got a smiley face from the radiologists report when she reported, "No cancer seen" on my report! I don't have to go back for a year.

I avoided a mastectomy and a likely double mastectomy, chemo and radiation. Do not take this to mean that it was not the most harrowing, difficult journey in absolutely every way. It turns out that I had an infected bone from a rancid tooth that was causing a lot of the problems. Getting that out began the journey back. I did not get out of the near death portion of the journey, or pain and agony. But, it was the healing that was needed to bring me back to balance.

Today I'm back to Bikram Yoga and beginning to stitch my life back together without the fear that I've done some unforeseen damage. I've healed the body through and through.

Love, Bluebelle
