November 5th, 2009 Ocotea Essential Oil
OCOTEA (New single oil)
(Compiled from various distributor notes)
Ocotea, pronounced ock/ah/tay/ah is distilled from the leaves of Ocotea Quixos tree deep in the forest of the Amazon. The leaves are gathered and loaded into a bush plane and flown 14 hours back over the Andes Mountains to the farm for distillation, thus wild crafted and distilled at Finca Botanica Aromatica- Young Living’s farm. Ocotea is related to the cinnamon species though the aroma is different from any common cinnamon. It also has far less skin sensitivity than cinnamon bark or cassia.
An unusual cinnamon-like plant that also has a lot of eucalyptol– 3.46. Ocotea has the highest level of alpha-humulene of any essential oil and is known to balance the body’s internal response to irritation and swelling. Only Copaiba essential oil has a comparable level of this natural plant compound.
MEDICINAL USES: Blood glucose, local antiseptic, prevents blood clots, anti-cancer, candida, anti-diarrheal, fungal skin infections, anti-asthma, reported weight loss, foot fungus, non-adaptive sustained stress (death, divorce, etc.)

ALSO GOOD FOR CANDIDA AND PARASITES
Here’s what Gary Young shared on candida and strep elimination. Three months ago they started a research project on 88 of the children at the school in Ecuador . Sixty had parasites and 36 of them also had candida. They mixed 1 drop of Ocotea with 8 oz. of water. Then they gave 1 oz portions of this mixture to the children daily and diffused it in the classroom. It killed both the parasites and the candida.
