Cancer, Chemotherapy, Radiation and Essential Oils

While there is promising research on essential oils and cancer, it is important to note that at Selah Essential Oils we recommend aromatherapy (the use of essential oils) as a compliment to conventional treatments.  

As always, everything you choose to do or use should be cleared with your licensed physician before use. This even applies to massage.

Candida albicans, also known as thrush, is a common problem affecting many people.  It commonly follows a round of antibiotics as these kill a lot of the helpful bacteria in the intestines.  Candida albicans lives in all of us, but under normal conditions the good bacteria in the intestines are able to keep the candida at a level to where it does not cause trouble.

Acne is one of the top three reasons why people seek the help of a dermatologist.

Acne is graded into four levels of severity:

Mild - usually includes comedones with a few mild pustules.
Moderate - many comedones and pustules with a few small nodules but no scarring.
Severe - many pustules and nodules with marked inflammation and scarring.
Very Severe - also includes sinus tracts with many deeply located nodules.
