Natural & Homeopathic Remedies

Here are some more information for Myrrh Essential:

Besides having an energy field, we have energy centers which are whirling wheels of energy that emanate from an energy power current that lies somewhere along the spinal column. The ancient Sanskrit word for these energy centers is chakras. To individuals who are clairvoyant and visualize these energy centers, they appear as whirling wheels of color and light. These energy centers are considered to be emotional processors.

A power current extends from the top of the head where the crown center exists to the base or root center found in the floor of the perineum. There are five more centers that emanate from this power current and whirl outward from the front of the body and from the back as well. Each of the seven centers provides energy for part of the body and each is connected with hormonal glands that keep the body in perfect working order. Each energy center contains a universal spiritual life-lesson or spiritual message. These are archetypes of seven stages of growth and development. At each stage we gain a more refined understanding of personal and spiritual power. These seven spiritual life-lessons direct us toward greater consciousness. When we ignore these lessons or don’t learn them, illness can be manifested.

Essential oils also carry a vibrational frequency and can “tune” the body vibrationally when it is out of balance.

The following are a list of essential oils helpful in opening and balancing the energy centers:

Myrrh is the reddish-brown resinous material that comes from the dried sap of a number of trees.

I am wondering how to dillute 100% myrrh essential oil for internal use?

I am hoping to regulate my menstration.

Who advised you to take it internally? I would think that you should be able to get that info from that person.

There are nutritional supplements that can be helpful to you, you can do that research on your own. Taking Myrrh essential oil internally is not standard practice. I suspect that you have been mislead or that you misunderstood. There are at least 3 different varieties of Myrrh, only the Commiphora myrrha is reported to induce menstruation.

There are many other essential oils that are used to regulate menstruation and hormones. They are generally used topically. You can add them to the bath or apply them diluted to the abdomen. Use a high quality base oil, something light with a high rate of transdermal absorption. Make your dilution around 10%. For a small area of your body you can use a higher % dilution. You can always increase this, but please err on the low side initially.

Melissa, Sweet marjoram, Ravensare, Roses, Clary sage, Mugwort and Parsley.

There are other oils for use as an emmenagogic, or for menorrhagia. Please educate yourself on the indications and contraindications of each essential oil before use.
