"We found that not all essential oils had activity against the B. burgdorferi stationary phase culture, with top five essential oils (oregano, cinnamon bark, clove bud, citronella, and wintergreen) at a low concentration of 0.25% showing high anti-persister activity that is more active than the known persister drug daptomycin. Interestingly, some highly active essential oils were found to have excellent anti-biofilm ability as shown by their ability to dissolve the aggregated biofilm-like structures. The top three hits, oreganocinnamon bark, and clove bud completely eradicated all viable cells without any regrowth in subculture in fresh medium, whereas but not citronella and wintergreen did not have this effect. Carvacrol was found to be the most active ingredient of oregano oil showing excellent activity against B. burgdorferi stationary phase cells . . .."

Do Essential Oils Kill Lyme Disease? by Cate Montana [Now only accessible via subscription.]
"In their first study, published in 2017, they discovered that oregano, clove and cinnamon bark essential oils were able to eradicate B. burgdorferi even at low concentrations. A follow-up study published in 2018 added 10 more oils to the list, which could wipe out the pathogen even when diluted to as little as one part per thousand."

Evict blend includes 7 of the top 10 mentioned in the study. We omitted 1) garlic due to its overwhelming aroma that prohibits us to use in our facility, 2) Allspice due to it not being suitable to take orally and very limited topically and 3) "scented rush," which we were not able to identify.

Banish blend includes the top 3 oils (Clove Bud, Cinnamon Bark, Oregano) mentioned in the 2017 study with the addition of 4 more oils noted to help by Linda Anne Kahn with one exception: we used Manuka instead of Tea Tree because research suggests that it is more potent in fighting bacteria and fungi than Tea Tree oil, specifically Streptococcus and Pathogenic Fungi. Some research suggests that it will also be effective in fighting antibiotic resistant organisms such as MRSA. Quote from the article linked above by Cate Montana: "Certified aromatherapist, holistic health practitioner and lymphedema therapist Linda Anne Kahn uses an integrative approach to treating Lyme and chronic Lyme conditions. Kahn strongly recommends working with an experienced, certified aromatherapist. 'Internal use of essential oils through the mouth has to be done very, very cautiously," she warns. "The person administering really needs to understand what they're doing. And the dosage totally depends upon the client.'"

My personal feeling is to alternate using Evict and Banish. The advantage to alternating is like hitting the enemy from the Army (via land), Navy (via the sea) and Air Force (via air). One can alternate weekly, daily or morning, noon and night. Alternating covers more ‘bases’ and prevents habituation. Click here for more information about Habituation
 
I would not suggest one take more than 3 drops orally at a time. So, instead of 7 drops, 3 times daily (per Kahn), I’d suggest 3 drops, 3 times daily. I would dilute with a carrier that is ingestible such as Olive, Avocado, Almond oil and so on and use enteric-coated capsules.

For chronic issues, such as Lyme and Leaky Gut symptoms, consider alternating the use of Evict and Banish. The advantage to alternating is like hitting the enemy from the Army (via land), Navy (via the sea) and Air Force (via air). One can alternate weekly, daily or morning, noon and night.

Application Suggestions (See Essential Oil Usage for more information and a Dilution Chart.)

See Safety Cautions below ~

Topical: Dilute with a carrier oilunscented lotion or unscented cream and apply on area of concern or as desired. Consider using a roll-on applicator for ease of application of prediluted oil. Thyme ct thymol is a notable skin irritant and sensitizer. The maximum dermal use level of Evict is 12%. Use with caution and test your dilution on a small area first. Repeated use of improperly diluted essential oil can result in contact sensitization. Use with caution on hypersensitive, diseased or damaged skin.

Since Evict has a limiting dilution parameter of 12%, we suggest that adults follow the General Guidelines found on the Dilution Chart without exceeding 12%, which is:
2-3% for daily application
Up to 25% for short-term use

Children: Use with caution on children under 2 years of age due to possible skin irritation issues. Dilute appropriately for the age of the child. Please follow the Dilution Chart on the Babies and Children page. 

Phototoxic Risk: Due to Cumin, if applying to skin that will be exposed to UV light within 12 hours, the maximum dermal use percerntage is 2%.

Inhalation: Diffuse or use a personal Nasal Inhaler
"Do not expose children of five years or less to strong essential oil vapors" (Tisserand/Young page 651).

Since Evict is a potentially skin irritant/sensitizer, it lends itself to be diffused or taken orally. Evict is generally used for serious health needs.

Internal: Evict is suitable for internal use within safe parameters if such use is deemed appropriate. Due to the potential skin irritating properties in Evict, Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt feels the preferred mode of use is internally, ideally taken by capsule diluted with a suitable carrier oil. Due to May Chang, the adult daily limit is 30 drops. We feel that internal use is rarely *needed* and should only be used with respect for how concentrated the oils are. HEO does not advocate internal use of essential oils without appropriate knowledge and understanding of how to administer, for what purpose, how much, which essential oils, safety concerns and so on. In our experience, essential oils are generally more effective used topically with proper dilution or inhaled. Kurt Schnaubelt Ph.D. notes that "French aromatherapy literature contains many references to using oils orally." He goes on to note that "generally 1 drop is always enough when ingesting essential oils." A potential toxicity hazard could occur when untrained people use essential oils orally and ingest too much. Keep in mind that while medical doctors or health care practitioners may prescribe essential oils for internal use, they are trained and experienced in the safe application of essential oils. It is not a matter of using "French" or "British" methods, it's a matter of experience and appropriate application.

Certified aromatherapist, holistic health practitioner and lymphedema therapist Linda Anne Kahn uses an integrative approach to treating Lyme and chronic Lyme conditions. Kahn strongly recommends working with an experienced, certified aromatherapist. 'Internal use of essential oils through the mouth has to be done very, very cautiously," she warns. "The person administering really needs to understand what they're doing. And the dosage totally depends upon the client.'"

"Dosages vary from client to client, but in general these can be taken orally in the following manner: one drop of each of these essential oils three times daily for one week in a vegetable capsule with olive oil or chlorella powder. Skip a week and then see how you feel. If symptoms persist, repeat for one more week and then stop. In conjunction with the essential oils, Kahn recommends weekly manual lymph drainage, which will have an anti-inflammatory effect and can lower cortisol, often elevated in Lyme patients. Lymph drainage also induces a deep state of relaxation."

Testimonies
The following anecdotal testimonies have not been reviewed by the FDA.
The products mentioned are not intended to diagnose, prevent, treat or cure disease.
Information shared on the HEO website is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice given by your trusted health care provider.
We believe that essential oils are provided by the Lord to support our health and well-being.
The Lord is our wisdom, protector and healer.
(Genesis 1:29-30, Ezekiel 47:12) 
Oregano and Clove oil have been the best oils I have found to deal with the Lyme bacteria. I'm sure there are many more, as they listed Cinnamon Bark in the article, but I have not had them all handy to test. The problem is focusing on a bacteria when it is a stagnant lymphatic system that is at fault. Lyme does not get established in a healthy body. The key is to have kidney/adrenal mobility and an unrestricted lymphatic system. Elimination dieting to foods, dealing with emotional stress and injury that cause inflammation is a must as well to take pressure off the lymphatics. Once one knows the kidneys are moving good, the serrapeptase enzyme along with ingesting capsuled oregano oil and a few different herbs and formulas can do a very good job of ridding the bacteria. People can have Lyme dormant in the system and two three days of the enzyme activates it rather well. - Lee
[HEO's Comment: I included Lee's testimony because his perspective may be helpful to someone. The oils he used are found in our BanishDefender, Home Run, Top Gun and Warrior blends.] 
Safety
Avoid contact with the eyes and other sensitive areas. Essential oils are both lipophilic and hydrophobic. Lipophilic means they are attracted to fat— like the membranes of your eyes and skin. They are also hydrophobic, meaning they do not like water. Applying a carrier oil will create another fat for the essential oil to be attracted to other than the membranes of the eyes or skin. Tisserand suggests: "With essential oils, fatty oil has been suggested as an appropriate first aid treatment, though the advantage of saline [eyewash] is that the eyes can be continually flushed, and this is less easy with fatty oil.” We are not aware of a case where essential oil in the eyes caused permanent injury or long-term discomfort, but if you feel concerned, please call your health care provider.
