Peer-Evaluated Articles Supporting the Efficacy of Essential Oils Against MRSA

Edwards-Jones et al. (2004) found that a combination of Lavender, Geranium, and Tea Tree had an increased inhibitory effect on the growth of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), but that Lavender and Tea Tree without the Geranium were less active against MRSA.

Application Suggestions (See Essential Oil Usage for more information and a Dilution Chart.)
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. Consider using Black Cumin Seed oil as the carrier. (See article by PubMed linked above.)

Since Mercy does not have a limiting dilution parameter, we suggest that adults follow the General Guidelines found on the Dilution Chart, which is:
2-3% for daily application
Up to 25% for short-term use 
 
Children: For infants and children, please follow the Dilution Chart on the Babies and Children page. 

Hand Cleanser Spray: For hospital visits, I make a spray using Mercy. I use 75% Everclear and 15% fractionated Coconut oil and 10% essential oil. (The percentage of alcohol in Vodka is not high enough to be consider a "sanitizer" thus I used Everclear. Aloe Vera does not do well with the potency of Everclear, so I used coconut oil.)

Inhalation: Diffuse or use a personal Nasal Inhaler

Internal: Mercy blend is suitable for internal use within safe parameters if such use is deemed appropriate. 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.

1. I told you I would keep you up to date on my niece and her infection and I haven't done a very good job of it! I am sorry! But the news is good! When she was first diagnosed with the MRSA infection her doctor told her she would have to be isolated when she gave birth and she would not be able to breast feed because they would have to start her on some pretty strong drugs to kill the infection. Well, she started using the Mercy oil that I got from you as well as drinking chlorophyll and colloidal silver by mouth and also applied to the infection.  She applied the oil to the infection and also took some by mouth in capsules. After just 2 weeks the doctor was really surprised by how much she had improved. My niece told me that he came into the room with goggles and gloves like she was really contaminated! He took one look at the infected place and took off the goggles and said things were really looking good. She gave birth to a 8lb 3oz beautiful baby boy on March 12 and had absolutely no sign of the infection. We are all so grateful to you for being there with the oil and the knowledge of how to use it! And very thankful to the Lord for how good He is to us! - Sherri M.

2. I battled MRSA for 6 months using allopathic treatments. After less than a week of using Mercy, I'm finally improving. This stuff is amazing!

3. My 15-year-old son has forehead acne. The Mercy blend has been working well. Last spring he had a really bad huge pimple (perhaps more than one) - so bad that I took him to the doctor who put him on antibiotics and then had to give him a stronger one, plus an antibiotic ointment. The Mercy blend seems to be helping more than the antibiotics ever did. He's also been on a prescription lotion for acne for years that I have stopped using. - Ellie

4. Thank you for the MRSA info! After taking many essential oils recommended for pneumonia, I looked up your site and started on the sample of Mercy that I've had for over a year. I just dabbed some in and on my nose as per your info, and I truly believe this is the answer to all of my 69 years of asthma and COPD. I had a carbuncle and blood poisoning as a child. I was treated with lots of antibiotics, and I now believe this caused MRSA to set up residence in my nose and cause me a lifetime of misery in my chest. But now praise to our Lord Jesus and your info and your Mercy, I believe I have found the answer to it all. I'm feeling better than I've felt in years. Thank you and God bless your ministry. - Suzi-Annah

5. I wanted to let you know that the Mercy has helped my 3-year-old son’s staph infection. We did get confirmation from the culture that it was indeed staph, and we decided to just use Mercy oil with coconut oil 3x a day and it healed beautifully. I just ordered another bottle to have on hand at the first sign of another possible staph infection in our family. I cannot thank you enough for your quick response and amazing product. I told our naturopath that she should prescribe your essential oils for a staph infections. We are so glad we never had to use antibiotics. - Jolaine

6. My adult son had a terrible case of MRSA 2 years ago, (pic line to his heart w/ daily 1/2 hour injections, etc.!) and then, once it was in his system, it kept coming back. Nothing seemed to stop it. The first time he tried the Mercy formula, he said, "That stuff simply works!" He put it on the spot and on the bottoms of his feet. When he initially had an infection, he had extensive surgery and was hospitalized for a week/had a pic-line to his heart w/ daily infusions for a month, etc. We were told that once you have MRSA, you are more susceptible to reoccurrence, which has been the case with him. It's been in his nose, knee, elbow and so on. We did not know about essential oils for the first round. The original antibiotics didn't touch it! Now, when a spot shows up, he goes after it with the Mercy, and it works. One thing I've learned is that your body must have the proper pH balance, which means (in part) cutting out processed foods and eating healthy fruits and veggies especially. Also, drink lots of water and get away from any sugary drinks. (I'm sure I'm only touching the surface of this issue.) Anyway, it seems a lot of people are getting MRSA and Cellulitis these days for some reason, and we need to take charge of our health! Thank you for helping us find a solution to that horrible staph infection! - Bev

7. I've been using the Mercy for what appears to actually be MRSA that has been occurring in my nose for nearly a decade now. My symptoms would begin inside the nostril with soreness, inflammation (you could actually see my nose swell), and then many small boils/blisters would surface that would eventually burst and be difficult to heal up (often taking weeks!) They were crusty/oozy. At first I used to think it was seasonal, but then it became something more often. This past year it would reoccur within weeks of healing back up. It was worse when I worked in an office atmosphere, but lately it seems anytime I was exposed to harsh chemical smells, mold, pollens, dust, it would resurface. I Googled MRSA, and it described my symptoms exactly. I've swabbed the Mercy neat in the nostrils 3x/day for the a full week and had no recurrences. I will definitely be ordering more. Now that that appears to be "under control" should I just swab 2x day and for how long should I be doing this - several weeks more or even longer?  - Elaine
HEO's response: This is wonderful, Elaine. Bless the Lord! I wish I knew how long you should continue, but if it were me, I'd slowly back off and continue once a day for months rather than take the chance of it coming back on me. We've seen with other issues, such as fungal issues, that once the visible manifestations disappear, if the treatment stops, it comes back. It seems best to continue for a while. Please let us know how you are doing in a month or two. Also, we strongly suggest that you dilute the oils. This will reduce the risk of causing any irritation or sensitization.

8. I'm diabetic (type 2) and have MRSA, although currently I don't have any skin infections, but I believe the infections inside are MRSA related. Specifically, I have frequent yeast infections as well as what I believe is some sort of bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine. I've also been combating a severe, 2 year's long ear/sinus infection which had spread to my eyes. I'm fairly certain this was MRSA as well. Thats how I found HEO; I was desperately searching for relief from the eye infection. I got a bottle of Mercy and the Ear-B-Well blend. I applied the Mercy around my eyes, and the infection was gone within 24 hours! I massaged the Ear-B-Well blend around the ear and also applied it on cotton to put in my ears. I could feel a difference, but this ear infection was like the world's worst one ever! So I did the same with the Mercy, and I am currently going on about 8 days free from ear pain for the first time in 2 years. - Elaina

9. I worked in health care and got MRSA. I had extensive treatments, but it kept coming back. Then I read that scented laundry detergents might exacerbate it, so we have been scent-free for almost 7 years and no more MRSA.

10. Our daughter had MRSA lesions on her leg last year, and we applied Mercy right on the sore or diluted with coconut oil. It is awesome stuff!!! - Rachel

11. I used Mercy on a bad spider bite 2 x daily for a week, and it helped very, very much. - Aquene

12. Three months ago I developed small splits in the nostril, which caused swelling and crusty nostrils. The creases on the side of my nose were also affected. I rotated Mercy, Lavender and Ancient Healing. After about two months, I quit using essential oils and continued with just Sanare Velius. My nostrils are almost completely healed. I never had it tested, so I don't know what was the cause. - Helen

13. My 8-year-old son, who has Down syndrome, and I both have been suffering recurrent MRSA skin infections this year. We are both allergic to some of the more effective antibiotics for MRSA and generally just feel lousy when on antibiotics. I have been using Mercy on myself and my son with very good results. We still have some work to do to boost our immune systems to help us stop more recurrences, but I am so relieved to have Mercy in my medicine cabinet to stave off infections before they require a doctor's visit. It is very effective. I have also used it to dab on cold sores, and they vanish in a day or so. Glad I thought to try that out! - Kimberly

14. My 26-year-old son has been getting huge pustules. At first we thought it was acne. They take 5-7 days to form and are very painful. He started using Pain-X and that really helped. It also helped them to erupt. When finished they were huge open craters. I gave him Mercy. Mercy really helped, so they didn't get as huge or so painful. He had about 6 come on his shoulder one right after the other at about 2 week intervals. When they started coming in his groin area, I urged him to go to Dr. The Dr. thinks it might be staph. My son has no insurance or money for the test for staph/MRSA which is $200. The MD was really intrigued about the oils, saying staph pustules don't clear up as nicely as these did on his shoulder. My son also told her about the Pain-X. Prior to that he was using Tylenol, which didn't really take away the pain as effectively as the Pain-X. She wrote down the ingredients of both products to do research on them. She told my son she had other patients who could benefit from these oils. Thanks Linda. My son is now a believer. In fact, he paid for the last MRSA oil we bought. - Janet

15. My son has battled with MRSA, and when he scratced the inside of his nose, he got a terrible sore. I put 3 drops of Mercy in a 5mL bottle and filled the rest with aloe vera. He then dampened the end of a Q-tip with the blend and apply it on the sore several times daily. It cleared up very nicely. - Jeannie

16. I had a tick bite that developed into a hard lump and alternated Top Gun and Mercy day and night. The lump responded quickly and was totally resolved within a few days. - Mark

17. Mercy clears up a staff infection in my nose very quickly. I dip a Q-tip in the oil and swab the inside of my nostrils. It clears up after a few applications. This works so well that I always keep a bottle on hand! - Lora

18. I used Mercy for some kind of infection in my nose. The inside of my nose was covered in bleeding sores sthat were very painful. My daughter gave me diluted Mercy and told me to swab the area with a Q-tip dipped in the oil. After I did this four times, the sores disappeared! - Nona

19. We dealt with a MRSA boil a few years ago and used Mercy. The best thing we did was a combo of equal parts of ground flax seed (ground in coffee grinder) and water put on the stove and cooked until it thickens. Add activated charcoal and Mercy blend. I applied to the boil and left overnight. The boil would burst and heal on its own. - Britt

20. I struggled with a MRSA infection for months, and what finally turned this around was applying the Mercy blend (diluted) topically and taking it orally (1 drop in a capsule with a carrier oil) 3- 4 times daily. I had to be consistent or it would raise it's ugly head again. Also, I had to not back off this protocol too soon. It was only when I continued this well past when the infection appeared to disappear, that it completely went away. Diet is a key component. Linda with HEO pointed out to me that sugars feed infection, so I avoided the obvious sugar, but also foods that convert to sugar such as pasta, white potatoes and so on. - Jen

21. Mercy! This oil makes me survive. I love this oil and use it daily. - Katie

22. I have used the Mercy blend topically with some success, but what really seems to nip my recurring MRSA in the bud is taking Solaray Turmeric Root Extract 300mg (95% Curcumin) orally. I took three capsules, three times a day. Within two days you couldn't even see the new bump that was forming and a 7" boil was dried up. - Jenny

23. Our 1-year-old daughter got into our little dog's (he's 15) food bowl and was bitten on her hand last night before we could top her. Her hand swelled up and turned purple. We cleaned the wound and soaked her hand in epsom salts with Lavender and gave her arnica homeopathic pellets. Then we put Mercy (diluted w/carrier) on it, and have been praying for healing. The next morning her hand is still swollen, red (not purple) and warm to the touch. After soaking it and applying essential oils oils and PRAYERS, she's doing great! To encourage her to soak her hand in silver sol, lavender and epsom salt, my wife put water beads in the bottom of a mixing bowl for her to play with so she'd keep her hand in the water. We soaked her hand 2x a day and applied aloe vera and Mercy blend every couple of hours. The first 3 days we gave her Arnica and applied gel to the back of her hand. We gave her Apis Mel homeopathic 2 times the second day which really helped as well as the Ledum homeopathic. Thank you again for following up and all the prayers, may you and your family be blessed! - Anthony

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.
