Completely different thing altogether!>> Talking about oils of essence, I forgot to mention along with the supplements I'm taking for the adrenal insufficiency I applied and inhaled an essential oil called black spruce (pinea marina). Before the Dr confirmed adrenal problems, I had already figured that out for myself, with the help of the aromatherapy journalI, I ordered some black spruce hydrosol and a bottle of black spruce essential oil. Why both? I was so exhausted that I need something easy until I could get up more, so the hydrosol sprayed on a tissue was perfect. At night, before I wanted to sleep, which I was seriously sleep depraved with the adrenal insufficiency, I sprayed a tissue with the black spruce hydro and just inhaled. Before I knew it I was asleep and for longer than 10 min at a time. It truely seemed quite miraculous to me. I thought maybe it was coincendence with my adrenal supplements. Did it again the next night, again I slept much better. As I got better and had more energy, I mixed the pure oil with a carrier to put on my skin so it could absorb. Black Spruce:Picea mariana: (Indigenous Canadian ) The oil is antispasmodic, anti-infectious, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and stimulates the thymus gland. It has an interesting cortisone-like affect through stimulation of the pineal-adrenal cortex axis and pineal-ovarian axis. A general system tonic it rebuilds the adrenal glands prompting a new zest for life. In case of fatigue, immunodepression and fibromyalgia the three week treament of topical applications and internal use of the hydrosol can work wonders. " The article said for adrenal treatment, to shower, step out, apply 10-20 drops black spruce ess. oil all over but esp the adrenal area ... NEAT(on wet skin), wait one minute then rinse offf with cool water. Do daily for 3 wks. This being one of my first experiences of using ess. oils for health instead of burning some in a container for an air freshner has been a real eye opener to the world of this type of treatment.
