Essential Oils to continue without external funds
By Elizabeth Appleyard | Program Officer
![]()
Dear Friends,
The Essential Oils Program is continuing at the Bon Center in Dolanji, India. We have decided to close this project as supplemental funding is not required at this time. We are most grateful for the support we received from donors. Your help meant this program could be established and now it has the stability to continue without external funding.
The oils that are produced are used in traditional medical care. Patients treated come from the Bon Center including, many children who are studying there and from the local Indian community. This good work using natural remedies will continue.
Thank you again for your support.

An Effective Treatment
By Yungdrung Tenzin | Monk, Healer
Relieving tiredness
For the summer, I am away from Dholanji, attending a Bon meditation retreat. I am very grateful for all of the support given to the essential oils project at Menri Monastery. Monks and staff at the monastery put in long hours and many come to me for tiredness. I would like to share with you the essential oils treatment that I use:
To relieve tiredness / asthenia:
balsam fir (5 drops)
peppermint (8 drops)
pine (pinus sylvestris) (10 drops)
spruce (15 drops)
add to 7 ml grapeseed oil.
Apply this blend topically on the lower back each morning for 7 days or more.
Those who have used it find it very helpful.
For those of you who are essential oils healers, if you have any treatments that you would like to share, I would welcome them!!!
