I did tons of research and eventually found this blogpost. <br /><br />I used the recommended blend neat on my son's feet and in a carrier oil (coconut/macadamia nut blend) on the molluscum. Within a few weeks, they started disappearing and within a few months, every single one is gone! <br /><br />I also used the blend in the carrier oil on my youngest as a preventative measure. The dermatologist told me everyone in the family would get it, especially if they were bathing together (like my two youngest were!!!) I figured it wouldn't hurt and perhaps it would help prevent the spread of the virus to the rest of the family. We are nearly 9 months past the first appearance of them on my son, and no one else has gotten it!! <br /><br />While my pediatrician and the dermatologist are astounded it hasn't spread to other family members, I am fairly certain it is because this blend in the carrier oil has protected us as my son healed from the outbreak.

I was at my wit's end when I came across this blog. I was skeptical, but was out of ideas. I ordered the Ravensara in calophyllum blend and within a couple of weeks - all spots have completely disappeared and I haven't seen any new breakouts. We had amazing results and I felt the need to share.

Now...since this conversation we HAVE started offering a strong dilution of Ravensara in calophyllum. this is normally recommended for shingles, and other herpes infections. Since it is available 'ready made' I would think about trying that, first. It's available at http://www.naturesgift.com/essential/descriptionp-r.htm#RAVENSARA It is a strongly antiviral blend... I honestly don't know if it would help or not...but note that the two ingredients are major components of Rhianon's blend.Margehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02673509267085990921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070790538272960248.post-6323500700492471872010-10-26T00:31:26.822-05:002010-10-26T00:31:26.822-05:00Hi- I'm wondering if there was ever a response...Hi- I'm wondering if there was ever a response to the September 1 post re: the custom blend.

I found your site just as I was about to use the lemon myrtle oil, but now we are holding off on that. Any custom blend option?

It has spread very rapidly, and is now covering one side of her trunk. I need to kill this stuff, or my husband will make me take her to the Dermatologist to "burn" them off with chemicals. I don't know very much about EOs, except for what I have studied on my own.

Remember with these oils, less is more.

What I would do first, before we go down that road (and I'm not ruling it out) would be to try Ravintsara in a base of the calophyllum innophylum (sometimes called Foraha or Tamanu.) I'd use a full 15 mls of the Ravintsara to one fl oz of the Calophyllum.) (That's *the* specific for shingles, and for most herpes type virus outbreaks.) That would be something you could put together yourself without having to invest in the full roster of products in the blend.<br /><br />Let's try that, and see if it helps. If not, then email me and we'll discuss the "custom blend"... does that work for you?Margehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02673509267085990921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070790538272960248.post-83046494876644529022009-10-12T20:53:04.552-05:002009-10-12T20:53:04.552-05:00Is there any chance you could help me find someone...Is there any chance you could help me find someone who could put together this formula for me?

According to the article, oils high in 1,8 Cineole are said to increase skin absorption. So using a high 1,8 Cineole oil that is ALSO anti-viral would target the "enveloped virus" directly by increasing direct contact.<br /><br />That's my understanding, at least. Plus RavENsara is much more apt to be a skin irritant.<br /><br />GREAT Question... you made me think!
