I had to treat my husband's, my girlfriend's shingles and my son's chicken pox at different times.

My husband got shingles close to his eye. That was many years ago, and unfortunately, I did not write down the formula of essential oils I used for him.

Most recently, my son got chicken pox, even though he was immunized when he was younger.

The way it started, my son got chills. I gave him Omegagize. While he was taking a bath, I put sea salt mixed with the Young Living therapeutic grade essential oil of tea tree, which I always do. As he went to bed, he felt hot - and sure enough, he got fever.

I immediately put Lemongrass, Thieves, Frankincense, Purification, Capaiba and Wintergreen on my son's feet, spine and other parts of his body. He also took capsules of Thieves and Longevity. The fever broke off as soon as it came - he sweated profusely. All through the night and for the next day I diffused Peace and Calming.

By the morning, my son was covered with pimples. He took a hot bath with sea salt and Young Living therapeutic grade tea tree essential oil. When he came out of the bath tub, I put Raventsara on his pimples, spine and feet, followed by Lemon oil. For the itchy pimples, I tried Christmas Spirit, Lemongrass, Myrrh and Purification. It seems to have calmed him down. However, in a short time, I applied Lavender and Purification on the pimples, and a lotion with Calamine for the 2 most stubborn pimples.

I did Vitaflex, adding Frankincense and Copaiba in the middle, and proceeded with Raindrop. It seemed that the pimples were getting lighter, as I was doing the Raindrop. I finished it all of by detoxing his liver with Juvaflex, and Kidneys with Juniper. No new pimples appeared.

Afterwards I gave him a half-cup of hot water with lemon juice and Young Living therapeutic grade essential oil of lemon. The next half-cup of water had hot water mixed with Himalayan sea salt.

Shortly afterwards, my son took 5 Live 5 probiotics. Later in the day, my son took Longevity and Thieves capsules.

We treated the pimples with Lavender, Purification, and Calamine lotion initially. Then I bought Tamanu oil, and used it on his pimples with Raventsara. By the evening, his temperature went slightly up to 101.1 F.

The pimples appeared on Monday. By Thursday, most pimples were either gone, or became tiny. There was no fever or any other discomfort, except for one slightly itching pimple. No marks were left on his skin.

One other oil I wanted to try for itching was Clove.

The experience I had treating my friend, who had Shingles, helped me stay calm, and know to use Young Living therapeutic grade essential oil of Raventsara. My girlfriend had a painful sore on her forehead, not far from her eye.

Here are the notes I sent her:

Susan,

I hope you’re feeling better this morning.

Please don’t forget to dilute Melaleuka (tea tree oil) with 4 drops (I would even add more than what it says on the bottle) of V6. Then use the mixture in the Peppermint bottle. Don’t forget to put tea tree & Peppermint on your feet.

Below is the info I collected from different sources.

I don’t agree that the virus will always stay in your body – maybe if you don’t use YL essential oils. If you do, and apply it to your spine, you will develop immunity to it, plus the oils will destroy it!

It is up to you to get the Ravensara. I would, with the next-day delivery ($21).

I have a new bottle of Thieves.

Let me know how you feel.

Eu

A little while back, I developed shingles. I have chemical sensitivities and have not been able to use anything with fragrance for years and was opposed trying the 'fragrances' in the oils. Out of desperation, I had a Raindrop treatment by a friend. Wow! was I excited, that after 36 years, I was not only able to inhale fragrance with no harmful affects, but I actually LOVED the various fragrances of the oils. By the way, using the Thieves, my shingles were healed in 5 days.

Shalom,

Pat

I recently had shingles and used Thieves oil mixed 50/50 with V-6. It worked great! I had relief within 10 minutes. I never had any more pain with them after I used the Thieves one time and never had to take any of the pills or creams that are prescribed for shingles. By the time I went to the doctor to make sure that was what I had, they were already drying up.

My acupuncturist recommended geranium oil for shingles. I tried it and it worked like nobody's business! I was on Valtrex and it did nothing for me. As soon as I started using geranium oil, my shingles began to heal. I applied it 'straight'; I did not dilute it.

Recently, my husband had shingles. We used Thieves directly on the outbreak and wintergreen for nerve pain. The outbreak lasted 8 days. In addition to using Thieves on the outbreak, he also put it on his feet and under his tongue for extra immunity protection. The rest of the family used the Theives for immunity purposes and no one else was infected.

My husband broke out with shingles on his upper leg and around his low back on the left side. I made up a recipe for him to put on topically and had him start drinking Berry Young Juice daily for increased immune support. Within 3 weeks the shingles rash was completely cleared up and he had no more pain.

The recipe: 10 drops Raven, 20 drops each of ravensara, lavender, helichrysum, melrose, tamanu oil. Put a few drops on topically every time the pain returns (this will be several times a day and night if the pain happens to keep you awake or causes you to wake up) I mixed the oils into an empty 15ml lavender bottle that he carries with him everywhere in his T-shirt pocket. I have also applied the rain drop technique on him that is outlined in the EDR for shingles. So far no more shingles and it has been over a year with no pain or rash.

A couple of years ago, I discovered a rash on my side that was excruciatingly painful to the touch. A friend in the medical field took a look, and told me I had Shingles.

I went to my Essential Oil Desk Reference, and found that Thieves can be effective to treat shingles, so I gave it a shot.

I applied a few drops of Thieves strait on the rash, and after a minute of serious stinging, it began to feel better. By the next morning, things looked about 50% better.

I kept applying a little bit of Thieves each day, and after a week's time, the Shingles were practically gone! All that remained was some pale pink spots that quickly went the way of all the earth!

I estimate that this most effective method of treating shingles cost me less than a dollar!!

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/When_are_shingles_contagious

When are shingles contagious?

Answer:

When the blisters are open, with weeping, they are contagious, just like the chicken pox. It is extremely important to stay away from elderly people, infants and small children, pregnant women, and anyone who has never had the chicken pox while the shingles are in their contagious stage. Once the shingles have scabbed over, you are less likely to pass it on.

Answer:

It is called Herpes Zoster although it has no relationship to the Herpes virus. It is caused by a reactivation of the virus that causes Chickenpox (Varicella). If someone has a history of having the chicken pox virus, it is unlikely that being around someone with shingles will make any difference. Once you have chicken pox, you never rid your body of the virus. It stays dormant in part of your nerve cells and can be reactivated, especially in times of stress or a weakened immune system, or cancer in the form of shingles.

Risk factorsBy Mayo Clinic staff

Anyone who's had chickenpox has the potential of developing shingles. However, it's most common in older adults: More than half the shingles cases occur in adults over 60.

In addition, people with weakened immune systems from HIV/AIDS, those who are receiving medical treatments, such as steroids, radiation and chemotherapy, or those who have a history of bone or lymphatic cancer are more likely to develop shingles. Most people develop shingles only once, but recurrences in other areas are possible.

A person with shingles can pass the varicella-zoster virus to anyone who hasn't had chickenpox before. This usually occurs through direct contact with the open sores of the shingles rash. Once infected, the person will develop chickenpox, however, not shingles.

The infection can be serious for certain groups of people with immune system deficiencies. The varicella-zoster virus cannot be spread to another person with a normal immune system who has already had chickenpox.

Until the shingles blisters scab over, avoid physical contact with:

• • Anyone who's never had chickenpox

  • Anyone who has a weak immune system

  • Newborns

  • Pregnant women (A chickenpox infection can be dangerous for the developing baby.)

  • It is no longer contagious (Basicly) when there are no more open sores.

Greetings!

Rex Kidman says Creer Lab only has Tamanu left -- 25, to be exact. He also

offered the information I copied below my signature on Tamanu.

On a personal note, Tamanu and Ravensara mixed 50-50 took care of my

husband's recurrence of shingles several years ago within 3 days.

TAMANU

History: Only those trees that grow in salty soil produce a

therapeutic-grade oil. The nut kernel of the ripe tamanu fruit contains

virtually no oil

when it falls from the tree. Only after the nut has been removed from its

shell and dried does the oil appear. Tamanu oil first came to the attention

of French researchers in the 1930s and was known in Fiji as dolno (“no

pain”

). The oil was used for many years by Polynesian healers for insect bites,

acne, dry or scaly skin, as well as inflamed or sore nerves. The botanical

name for tamanu was created from the Greek words ekalos (beautiful) and

ephullon (leaf). The oil contains a unique fatty acid called calophllic acid.

A number of clinical research studies have discussed its unique properties.
