Other oils

I am really getting into the herbal route to help treat cf at the moment. I have just started taking oregano oil and after looking at other threads i would like to try the other oils which seem benificial. I have looked into research regarding cinnamon and thyme oil and would like to try these oils. I am just wondering for those of you who take these aswell whether you can buy plain old thyme/cinnamon oils or whether the ones that help PA are specially blended and from a certain manufacturor like the oregano oi. As it was suggested to get oregano p-73 and not any old oregano oil from any company. Any advice suggestions would be great <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Many oils also combat our typical CF bugs. Among those that I know of: Thyme, Cinnamon, and Clove. I can't lend any real advice on using any of these internally, in the herbal realm there are differing opinions, but mostly they don't recommend them for internal use beyond inhalation, via aramotherapy, such as what others are doing with the facial saunas. You can buy the ones I mentioned offline from various sources, and as long as they are aramotherapy grade, or 100% pure, these can be used topically or via inhallation. NOW foods has all three of those listed, and their cinnamon oil is very high quality.

You want the bark oil, it's called Ceylon oil, and is considered much better food grade quality compared to just the leaf oil, which is often called "Ba**ard cinnamon oil". You can make good cinnamon toothpicks with it also.

I don't know how you can sniff this stuff. I've taken a whiff or two of thyme -- what a kick in the head! It feels like a line of broken glass, like it must be doing major damage. Do you build up tolerance to it? Or was I given the aforementioned "ghetto" brand? My eyes are watering just thinking about it.

The cinnamon oil is the most noxious, but the thyme and oregano doesnt really bother me that much, but I wouldn't call it as pleasant as running through a meadow of fresh wild flowers. The stuff does work though, quite well. If it seems too much for you, try backing your head off it some and try inhaling that way. You don't have to clamp your face down around the inhaler attachment and huff to get benefit from it. I have to back my face off from it some and inhale that way, when I do it that way (I primarily neb the oil full time). The fumes rise, and can slightly disperse with distance in the air, so try to back your face a little above the exit fumes and inhale some that way. Over time you get more of a tolerance toward it, so it's not so bad.

Hey Sean, from all your reading have you ran across any information about these oils causing kidney problems? Can they be hard to process at all, or no since they're organic? Just wondering. Thanks.

I havent heard anything about any of the oils causing kidney problems. Not that it might not be possible, but I haven't come across anything even remotely like that.
