Mononucleosis
Epstein Barr is not a disease but rather a virus of the
herpes family that causes a number of diseases. The
most common is disease is infectious mononucleosis. It
is believed to be associated with some forms of cancer, type
1 diabetes, and some autoimmune diseases including
rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. The virus
is common in our environment and many are infected in
childhood. Luckily the infection is mild and usually
goes unnoticed but develops an immunity against later
infections. Those that do not have this early
infection have a high liklihood of contracting infectious
mononucleosis.

Experiences and Testimonials of others
Anonymous - Is anyone
familiar with using essential oils for Epstein Barr?
Pat - Hypoglycemia is usually a
precursor to Epstein-Barr virus. Treating the symptoms of
hypoglycemia might be a very effective aid. Also remember
that you want to attack the virus, so even diffusing oils in
the lotus diffuser will work great. Using Serenity, Balance,
lavender and Elevate will all help to alleviate the symptoms
and give the relief needed. You will need to experiment to
see what works the best. Serenity will be a great source for
diffusing, and applying topically, also use in a warm bath
as a spinal massage or just sprinkled on your pillow.
Rob - Additionally we know a gal that
has used frankincense applied topically on the crown of her
head for symptoms of Epstein-Barr with success.
