Here's how I use R.C.
I have taken 3-4 drops of R.C. in 1/2 cup of hot water, hot enough so it doesn't burn the finger and place the cup close to the nose and mouth and cover head with a towel and inhale the moisture and aroma and it will pull a person out of an asthma attack and opens up the nasal passages and broncials. Diffuse RC, especialy with the new diffusor it will help increase the mositure that you need to open the sinus and broncial passages. Its great for children with plugged noses. When applying R.C. to the chest and the ball of the foot ( the reflex points for the lungs) and you want to increase the oxygen into the lungs, apply marjoram on top of the R.C.. This drive the R.C. into the smooth muscle of the lungs. By doing this protocol, it helped a gentlemen re-inflate his collapsed lung. Another gentleman had to carry oxygen with him all the time to keep his oxygen level up at 94, but with out the oxygen, it would drop down to 77. 94 -- 98 is the normal oxygen level a person should be at. When I applied R.C. to his chest it brought his oxygen level up to 94 in matter of minutes and stayed there Without R.C or any oxygen it would drop down to 77. I like to see things first hand and this was an experiment that I did when I taught a classes and a nurse had her portable oxygen monitor with her. Everyone wanted to know what their oxygen level was and I was curious if it would raise the oxygen level for those that had normal oxygen level and it did. It raised those that were at 94 to 96 and those at 96 to 98. Also I have used R.C. along with Idaho Balsam Fir to dissolve a huge bone spur on my heel. Why Idaho Balsam Fir?? Because it has a natural cortisone-like action which doctors give to their patients before they will do surgery. That was the only way I could get it mine to dissolve. R.C. alone was not enough for me but a lot of people have had great success with just R.C. on bone spurs, I have to be different. R.C. may help give relief from colds, bronchitis, sore throats, sinusitis and respiratory congestion. Apply 3-4 drops on chest and cover with a hot wet wash cloth then cover with a towel and leave on as long as possible or until cold, apply to the balls of the feet, can even put your feet in a foot bath after applying the R.C. to the feet. Apply on the sinus areas on the face and forehead, and swab the nose with a Q-tip dipped in R.C.
I use to get acute bronchitis and pneumonia 17 years ago. I started out using R.C. and Lavender. later I added , Raven and Thieves to enhance the effect. I have not had pneumonia or bronchitis in 17 years and that is awesome not to be bothered with that every year.
Other products to use are NingXia Red, MultiGreen, Vit. C chewable, ImmuPro and Longivity caps, Inner Defense, Exodus and Exodus II, and Thieves cough drops. I also take a whole capsule of Exodus II if I feel something coming on and it's gone by morning. If a person already has bronchitis, then I would do two capsules every 3 hours.
When applying a hot compress with RC on your chest and Raven on the back and then the next time RC on the back with Raven on the chest. Never use Raven with a hot compress as it can blister the skin because there are hot oils in that blend.
Now you can see why RC was one of the first oils I bought and lavender was the other oil when I joined YL. It is a blend that I am never without. In fact RC built my business as that is the first oil I let people expericence.
Pneumonia
Hi, I am new to Young Living Essential oils, but I am so thankful to have made my way to good health using Thieves and RC. My husband died 2 years ago, and I have been apparently holding onto a lot of grief in my chest.
I was also exposed to heavy, continuous doses of black mold which harmed and weakened my lungs. I was sick most of last year (2007) with 5 bouts of pneumonia. I tried taking many forms of herbal capsules (garlic, echinacea, golden seal, zinc, vitamin C, etc.) These herbs and supplements would help a little, but the first cold or flu that was going around work, bamm, I would get the cold which would go right into pneumonia.
Last year was so awful with being sick constantly. I have gained 40 pounds because I don't have the energy or stamina to run my normal 4 miles a day.
So after my 5 bout of pneumonia, I purchased the Thieves product line and my life has been changed. I have not had a pneumonia or a cold now for 2 months. I have been putting the Thieves oil on the bottom of my feet and I take 1 drop in my mouth each morning. I also brush my teeth with the Thieves toothpaste and gargle morning and evening with Thieves mouthwash.
Last month, whenever I would sense a scratchy throat or mucous in my sinus, I would just put 1 drop of Thieves on my tongue and those cold symptoms would be immediately gone.
I am so thankful for the Thieves oil and the RC (which I forgot to mention...I also put the RC on the soles of my feet and my throat when I had a cold symptom.) I am so grateful to the Young Living Essential oils. I am determined to make 2008 a healthy year for me. These oils are a gift from God and I am most grateful to have my good health restored to me.
Thank you, Young Living!

Nursing Home Nightmare
My grandfather has been quite ill for some time now. He has Alzheimer's and then we found out his kidneys are only functioning at 22%. So, I've been applying oils for his kidney's (juniper, ledum, lemon grass and Release) for a few weeks.
He fell and hurt his hip at home and eventually ended up in a nursing home to get back on his feet. What a joke. I walked in to visit and annoint him with oils. I found him in the common area. I was HORRIFIED by what I saw. His skin was ashy gray in color and his head was slumped on his chest. He wouldn't lift it when spoken to.
I got him back to his room and had him lie down on the bed. I removed his shoes and socks and applied those four oils to the bottom of his feet. Within ten minutes the color came back to his face and he was alert and talking. My Mother and Aunt both were there and saw it. They were both impressed.
The nursing home kicked my Grandfather out after his insurance ran out. This was a blessing for sure. He had Alhziemer's going in but when he came out, just two weeks later, he couldn't put a sentence together. He was nowhere near that bad. Coming out of there he was wearing diapers, which he wasn't when he went in there. He also got a bad case of pneumonia as well. Of course had to pay thousands of dollars for this top notch care too.
When he got home I rubbed RC blend on his chest and three days later his pneumonia was gone!
His kidney's were functioning at only 22%. He was one step away from going on dialysis. After annointing him with the ois for his kidney's (ledum, juniper, lemongrass and Release) three days a week for three months his kidney's are finally getting better! He's also been on the NigXia Red and the K & B tincture which I know have helped too. I live 45 minutes away from him so three days a week was about all that I could manage. I know if my family would listen to me and quit feeding him junk like glazed doughnuts and soda he would be getting better even faster. Unfortunately I don't have control over that.
I am so blessed to have learned about these oils and Young Livings other products! Thank you! Thank you!

Lung problems
In December I went to Turks Caicos Island to attend my best friends wedding. I have to take two flights to get there and two flights to return. It was a very stressful time. I brought all my oils with me and used them on the airplanes. I felt that my lungs were weak and the stress and anxiety of flying were causing my immune system to become weak. I used Purification, R.C. Lavender, & Melrose all during my stay in the Islands.
The first day we arrived I broke my great toe on coral. I immediately put ice packs and used lavender on it. I applied arnica oil and lavender on the toe for two applications each day for two days. On the first day the Island Nurse told me I would not be able to walk or wear a shoe for a week or more. On the third day I had no discoloring of the skin on my broken toe, no swelling and I was wearing shoes and walking normally. I did not have to take any pain medication of any kind and walked, swam and enjoyed the Island fully and the wedding.
The oils helped me on the flights and when I came home the temperature was 5 below zero and when we left the Island it was 90 degrees. I am prone to pneumonia so I continued to use R.C., Melrose, Theives and Purification after arriving home and did not get ill. I love my essential oils and use them everyday. They help my immune system fight off disease.

Don't expect the same results unless you are using Young Living Therapeutic
Grade essential oils and supplements. Also each person is different so they
may not work as well for you as it does for others so try another oil or supplement
that would work better for you.
