Great post, Wombat! Thanx!
Note: In some European countries, the tablespoon (Tbsp) is different from that used in North America. One Tbsp, as used in this article, is 15 milliliters, weighing 14 grams. In winter, we recommend about one tablespoon of the oil blend per 50
pounds of body weight, or however much oil is required to make skin soft, smooth, and velvety. In summer we need less, and again skin is our indicator of optimum. Dry skin is a clear indicator that more of the oil is required.
Below, from feedback, are general guidelines of how much oil might be used to get results:
* skin; tanning & burning; eczema, psoriasis, and acne; 2-10 Tbsp/d;
* energy in the older population; 2-5 Tbsp/d;
* stamina, performance in strength and endurance sports; gains in body builders; recovery from fatigue after exercise; healing of sprains, strains, and bruises; 3-8 Tbsp/d;
* mood; depression; attention deficit, hyperactivity, stress; learning & intelligence; mental processing, color perception, visual acuity; communication; 2-5 Tbsp/d;
* healing; joint pain; stiffness; inflammation; arthritis: 2-10 Tbsp/d;
* dampening auto-immune response; up to 10 Tbsp/d;
* infections; 3-5 Tbsp/d; sometimes higher amounts short term;
* proneness to clots in arteries; high triglycerides; high blood pressure; 2-5 Tbsp/d;
* weight management; usually 3-5 Tbsp/d; sometimes up to 10 Tbsp/d;
* water retention; premenstrual symptoms; 3-5 Tbsp/d; sometimes up to 10 Tbsp/d;
* craving for cigarettes, drugs, alcohol, junk foods, & sugar; suppressing appetite; 2-5 Tbsp/d;
