Frankincense is always a great place to start.  If you can get your grandmother to do it try putting a drop of frankincense on her thumb then have her hold that thumb to the roof of her mouth with lips closed (it will look like she's sucking her thumb) for 30 seconds.  The taste isn't wonderful but neither is it horrible and the benefits can be incredible.  If you spend a couple hours with her each visit I'd make this the first thing you do and then repeat it just before you leave.  One thing I've noticed when I use frank that way is that my mouth tends to get dry, but that may just be me.  It's not really a bad thing if it encourages your g'mother to drink water.

 

If your g'mother won't put the frank in her mouth then I'd be certain to put a drop on the nape of her neck, perhaps one on top of  her head, a couple drops along her spine, and of course, a drop on each big toe.

 

If your g'mother doesn't have swallowing issues the LifeLong Vitality (LLV) supplements are very important and I'd probably include DDR Prime gels (they're 10% off this month).

 

I have a friend whose husband's dementia had gotten to the point that he didn't even know her name and she gave him the LLV (worked up to a full dose which is 2 from each of the three bottles twice a day) and did the frankincense on the thumb/roof of the mouth as often as she could get him to throughout the day.  Within two weeks he called her name.  Will your g'mother have the same results? that quickly? I don't know but at least there is hope. Frankincense breaks through the blood-brain barrier so it gets to where it needs to be.

 

Cypress is great for circulation and that may be beneficial for the vascular dementia.

 

Layer a drop of Serenity and a drop of Balance on her big toes for calming and grounding. 

 

If you're financially limited this is how I'd prioritize these oils/supplements:

1. Frankincense (this oil is AMAZING!)
2. LLV
3. DDR Prime gels
4. Serenity Blend and Balance Blend

You're a dear g'daughter for caring for your Gran.  Do what you can and keep on loving her.

Please let us know how both you and she are doing.

Greetings all,

Once again I come seeking knowledge.

My grandmother is in a group home. She has mixed dementia (vascular dementia & Alzheimer's) with an anxiety component.

While I realize in an ideal world, I should use oils on her several times a day, everyday. That is not a reality at this time.

I am over there 3-4 times a week and frequently give her foot and back rubs. She has arthritis and the skin to skin contact helps with the anxiety.

What oils would you recommend? Please remember I'm a newbie at this. Precise directions are appreciated. On the plus side, I do know where the big toe is.

Peace and gratitude!

Julie
