We both have it really bad here tonight - when mine becomes unbearable it

usually precedes a dose of Menieres - if you're sending files DB please

include me in your list!

Thanks,

Hey Bob. I was just talking to a friend of mine and he said that he's been partially deaf for years, and has tinnitus. He used (yuck) Young Living Oil Hellicrisium (sp). He said the practitioner he had gone to for something else put one drop in each ear and within a day all his hearing came back and the tinnitus left. I'm going to get more info from him (he gets off on lots of tangents and at the time I couldn't steer him back :-) When I find out more I will let you know. I'll also ask him what his hearing loss was from, as there are many causes.

He wound up saying that he willed himself to go back to being partially deaf because he couldn't "stand all the noise". All the little background stuff. Like he said he and his son were in their truck and he asked his son "what is wrong with the truck? What is that noise?" He said his son laughed and said "dad, the truck always sounds like this". But he had never heard it before and didn't like it.

I'll post when I find out more, as I'm interested in the tinnitus results myself.

http://www.space-age.com/aromatherapy/hearing.html Please ensure that, at

no time, oils are dropped into ear, especially Helichrysum. The oils are to

be dropped only in the cup above the lobe. After that, use the fore finger

or pointer finger to gently massage the oils. Finger nails should be

absolutely cut and filed. Rocking of the person's head has to be done very

gently.

At no time or under any circumstance should oil be dropped directly onto the

Eardrum or it could severely burn the Eardrum causing severe injury.

http://www.birchhillhappenings.com/hearing.htm .

To start with you can try a 2-3% dilution of Helichrysum. To mix this -

measure 1 teaspoon of a carrier oil (Olive oil or Sweet Almond oil would be

suggested.) to this add 2 -3 drops of Helichrysum. Stir well. Then rub a

small amount behind each ear and down near the jaw line. Do this at least

once a day but no more than twice a day. In some cases once hearing is

restored you can taper off to every other day and still maintain hearing

levels.

Following are a couple other recipes you might want to try if the pure

Helichrysum doesn’t work:

Cypress – 10 drops

Helichrysum – 10 drops

Sweet Marjoram – 10 drops

Roman Chamomile – 10 drops

r oil – 1 ounce

Blend well, apply behind ear, etc once or twice a day.

Helichrysum – 10 drops

Rosemary – 3 drops

Sweet Marjoram – 15 drops

r oil – 1 ounce

Blend well, apply behind ear, etc once or twice a day.

http://www.adogsview.com/2008/01/05/making-your-own-helichrysum/

Unfortunately, Young Living’s European source for Helichrysum is no longer

availalble. Hence helichrysm is no longer availalble as a single oil through

Young Living.

Young is planning to establish an annual helichrysum crop on his new

farm in Ecuador. However, it may be a a year or more before the oil is in

production in sufficient quantities to offer all distributors again.

Helichrysum italicum also goes by the common names of “Everlasting” and

“Immortele.”

Until Young Living can produce enough to sell again, you can make your own

substitute from oils that are available. I have developed this formula based

on a chemistry that approximates the compound composition of helichrysum. I

call it “Helichrysum Blend.”

It is simple. Mix equal parts of the following six oils, all available from

Young Living:

Clary Sage (Salvia schlarea)

Elemi (Canarium luzonicum)

Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile)

Wild Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare)

Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens)

Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata)

You can use equal numbers of drops or equal numbers of any other measure you

wish depending on the quantity of Helichrysum Blend you want make up.

The similarities of chemistries between Actual Helichrysum and Helichrysum

Blend are as follows:

GENERAL CHEMISTRY OF HELICHRYSUM

(Helichrysum italicum)

Esters . . . . . .43%

Ketones. . . . . .20%

Sesquiterpenes . .15%

Monoterpenes . . .12%

Alcohols . . . . . 6%

Phenols. . . . . . 1%

Oxides . . . . . . 1%

Other Compounds. . 2%

GENERAL CHEMISTRY OF HELICHRYSUM BLEND

(Equal parts of Clary Sage, Elemi, Roman Chamomile, Wild Tansy, Wintergreen,

and Ylang Ylang)

Esters . . . . . .41%

Ketones. . . . . .15%

Sesquiterpnes. . .14%

Monoterpenes . . .16%

Alcohols . . . . . 8%

Phenols. . . . . . 1%

Oxides . . . . . . 1%

Other Compounds. . 4%

The category, “Other Compounds,” includes minor amounts (less than 1%) of

Aldehydes, Carboxylic Acids, Coumarins, and Ethers. For the definitions and

properties of “Esters,” Ketones,” “Alcohols,” and other classes of

compounds, see “The Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple,” available from

http://www.RaindropTraining.com and many other sources.

Except for a slight minty tone from wintergreen and a floral tone from ylang

ylang, the fragrance of Helichrysum Blend is very similar to the oil of the

single species, Helichrusum italicum itself.

While the chemistry of none of these six individual oils are like that of

Helichrysum, as a combination they come very close. For example, it has been

suggested that Wild Tansy is a good substitute for Helichrysum, and in many

ways it may be. But the dominant chemistry of Tansy is 77% ketones with only

5% esters while that of Helichrysum is only 20% ketones with 43% esters.

Another suggested substitute for real Helichrusum is a blend of Tansy,

Elemi, and Wintergreen. While Wintergreen (like Helichrysum) is pedominantly

esters (97%), this is double the concentration of esters as found in

Helichrysum italicum. Furthermore, wintergreen oil does not contain any of

the remaining compounds of Helicrysum. As for Elemi, it is mainly

monoterpenes (71%) and contains no esters or ketones while Helichrysum

contains mostly esters and ketones and only 12% monoterpenes. even so,

despite the major differences chemical between Helichrysum and any of these

six oils separately, when these six oils are combined in equal proportions,

the general chemical profile of Helichrysum is duplicated to a very close

extent, as seen by the percents above.

Specifically, there are seven compounds found in Clary Sage that are also

found in Helichrysum, except in different proportions. These are

beta-caryophyllene, curcumene, 1,8 cineol, l-limonene, linolol, nerol, and

neryl acetate. Beta-caryophyllene is also found in Ylang Ylang and Roman

Chamomile. Linalol is also found in Ylang Ylang. And l-limonene, which has a

pine-like fragrance, is also an ingredient of Elemi. Helichrysum and Ylang

Ylang both contain eugenol, which is a local anesthetic and is the

predominant compound of clove oil.

etc etc etc

http://www.nspforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=567 He reported that 3 people had

experience total restoration of hearing by using Helichrysum Essential Oil.

This oil can restore hearing not only in people who have a loss of hearing,

but people who were born deaf. Because oils are electrically charged, they

stimulate firing in the axon. They increase the neurotransmitter that

converts in the axon to electrons, and it fires across the synaptic gap.

Helichrysum oil increases the firing of synopsis, jumps across the gap and

connects to the nerves that do not connect. Once it starts firing in this

way, it will start growing together until it hard wires. This oil has the

ability to stimulate the regeneration of damaged nerve tissues.

Since I know nearly nothing about this, why? Maybe it was diluted? Daddybob

I bet everyone on this list knows this but someone told me that ringing in the ear is due to hearing loss and the high tones are replaced by this annoying hiss and can not be repaired.

I sure hope this is incorrect but I am bothered by it and it does seem to be getting worse as I get older.

It's only a deal if it's where you want to go. Find your travel deal here.

Hey ,

Please do forward anything you can find. My tinnitus is constant; my hearing loss supposedly from a tube in each ear that should be curved is squared in mine - most likely a birth defect per doctor. But I used to think I could hear ok? Guess maybe I just didn't know any better. But lots of people tell me I'm the loudest person they know. So it's likely this oil won't help my hearing, but getting rid of the tinnitus would be blessed relief!

Let us know!

I decided to see if I had saved any info on this topic.

Yup, 2 "tidbits" on file.

1) I pull the ear lobe straight out and while holding it under tension I jerk it out several times, quite energetically. This relieve my problem instantaneously.

----------------------2) Top Five Remedies for Tinnitus: Natural Approaches to Treating Ringing in the Ear By Kane, ND ('92), LAc

a.. Acupuncture b.. Gingko c.. Eustachian Tube Drainage d.. Supplements e.. Other Natural Modalities f.. Back to Main ArticleEustachian Tube DrainageNo doubt, you're already asking What?? Eustachian tube drainage is a naturopathic technique used to relieve congestion in the tube behind the eardrum by draining fluid away from the ear. Ideally, you can have your local naturopath show you this technique; if not, you can give it a whirl on your own. This practice will help your tinnitus if it's due to congestion of the ear, nose or throat. It's also a good technique to expedite curing a simple ear infection or unblocking your ears after diving or flying.

First, make sure your hands are clean. With your mouth not too wide open, gently find your back molars on one side with your index finger. Beyond the molars is the curve of flesh-covered bone that creates the hinge between the upper and lower jaw. Gently go beyond the hinge, towards the back of the throat until you find a stringy vertical tendon. This is called the "tonsillar pillar." Touch here will make most people gag, so go softly and carefully. Just behind the tonsillar pillar, down low near the root of the tongue, is the Eustachian tube, which feels like a small "mole tunnel" under the flesh. It may be impossible to feel, but if you got the tonsillar pillar you're in the right area. Gently stroke the Eustachian tube from the ear side of the back of the throat towards the middle (towards the tongue) several times until you can't stand it. Same thing on the other side if the tinnitus is bilateral. Do this daily and consistently for up to a week. Repeat as needed.http://www.bastyr.edu/news/expert/tinnitus.asp?treatment=tube

Man, I tried that and about choked to death. What a nasty feeling!! Things touching areas that shouldn't be touch. Yuck.
