Aromatherapy Literature Information Ringworm fungus infects the skin causing scaly round itchy patches. It is infectious and can be spread from an animal or human host. Manuka was found to be effective against Staphylococcus aureus and ringworm; Manuka oil was found to be much stronger against Gram-positive organisms (about 20 times stronger than tea tree) (Cooke and Cooke 1994, Perry et al 1997b) Price, Len; Price, Shirley (2011-11-11). Aromatherapy for Health Professionals “Ringworm” is a generic term used to describe many species of fungi which cause diseases of the outer layer of skin. Strictly speaking, athlete’s foot is ringworm. Here we are concerned with other forms that affect the skin, anywhere on the body but especially the scalp. The name “ringworm” comes from the ring shape that appears on the skin and which is formed as the disease spreads outward in a circular shape. This outer ring marks the active area of the disease while the center heals as the fungi move outward. Ringworm is very itchy. If it appears on the scalp it can cause small patches of hair to be lost temporarily. Sometimes an allergic reaction causes small itchy blisters to appear on parts of the body that can be far removed from the ringworm itself. Ringworm is infectious and can be caught from people and domestic animals. Use these oils to treat it: Tea tree, Thyme ct linalol, Lavender and Tea tree essential oil provides an extremely effective treatment for ringworm. Apply 1 neat drop over the infected area three times a day until it’s clear. This should take no more than ten days. After that, apply an oil composed of 30 drops of tea tree diluted in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Rub over the area daily. Worwood, Valerie Ann (2012-08-23).

7. I am especially grateful to the Lord for HEO and for the essential oils you provide at this point in my life. I've got an amazing nutritionist who is working day by day with me to eradicate a horrific case of systemic ringworm. Oddly, we are having the most success with LAVENDER, BIRCH and LEMON essential oils topically. I'm consuming large quantities of CASSIA, spread out thru the day. It's slow going, (3 weeks now), but I am improving. Knowing that this type of bacterial infection is difficult to eradicate helps me be patient. Knowing that HEO is there and will get my order out rapidly, is a great comfort. Thank you for your MINISTRY! I pray the Lord rewards you well! - Julia UPDATE a few days later: I just got word from my practitioner to reduce the Birch applications on my hands and feet by half, and she switched me from taking Cassia (32 drops daily) orally to Oregano (3 drops daily) orally. My rash looks much improved today, and the itching has gradually been diminishing (as long as I don't get chilled). I am blessed to have one of the most intelligent, gifted, God-honoring practitioners in the world. We have been working at eradicating this evil bacteria for more than three weeks, and the essential oils have been the main player. (I have been following a clean, mostly-raw whole foods diet, including filtered water, for years. I continue with that and with taking my therapeutic-grade whole-food supplements. I am taking extra magnesium and calcium and trace minerals, as well as mega-doses of D3.) I am amazed at the efficacy and power of these oils, but I suppose I shouldn't be. After all, the Creator of the universe made them!! He does all things well! Amen! - Julia 8. I resolved ringworm with TEA TREE oil. - Dana
