CYST TREATMENT

Short term solutions 1-Use thyme or oregano, put one or two drops directly on the cyst (thyme is less hot) Avoid healthy skin around Only 2 applications are necessary, the cyst breaches and drains 2-Use Oil blend called “Purification” It is made by Young Living Essential Oils. It contains the following: Citronella (Cymbopogon nardus), lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), Melaleuca (Melaleuca alternifolia) lavandin (Lavandula x hybrida), and myrtle (Myrtus communis). Put several drops of it on twice a day covered loosely by a band-aid. By day three the cyst may come to a head, expel its contents with gentle squeezing, and it may be gone after another week. Or apply the Purification oil two, sometimes three times a day for three or four days. On the fourth day it may come to a head and express much of its contents. If it is stubborn you may have to continue to express the waxy like substance for about two weeks after it comes to a head. 3 - Base of peppermint oil applied directly, then clove, rosemary, and tea tree oils. It only matters that you apply the peppermint first. apply the oils twice a day, the first after a morning shower while skin is moist and pores are open (peppermint helps transport the herbs into the skin) the second before bedtime. Eliminate the clove oil after the third application By day two the cyst may open up and you can express the waxy substance. Clean the site with peroxide and apply peppermint and the tree oil to the skin, NOT DIRECTLY ON THE OPENING, and then put some more tea tree oil on a bandaid and covered it. Express repeatedly and clean with those oils.

Rub this on the inside, upper portion of your arm and wait a few hours. If no redness or itching develops, you’re most likely not sensitive to that essential oil.

How Much Carrier Oil & How Many Drops of Essential Oil?

As a rule, for every 1/2 oz. (1 tablespoon) of Carrier Oil, you’ll want about 9 drops of Essential Oil(s) to use that mixture as a body lotion or massage oil.

To test your essential oil to see how “pure” it is

Put a single drop of it on a piece of construction paper. If it evaporates quickly and leaves no noticeable ring, it is pure. If you have a ring left, then it is likely diluted by the manufacturer with an oil of some sort (this test will not work for myrrh, patchouli, and absolutes).
