TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil Brochure
Color Thy Soul by Margaret Bernadine Hall-Fantine, 1886
It can be easier to succumb to colds, flu and sore throat viruses when your immune system is compromised by stress, especially ongoing stress. There are things you can do to boost your immune system, such as eating a wide variety of vegetables, exercising and getting plenty of regular sleep. You can also take supplements, such as Vitamin C and D3.
Mari J. Dionne ~ CHP, CLC www.thecaptainslady.com [email protected]
However, the bottom line is that you will need to remedy what's causing your stress in the first place. Until the stress is relieved it will continue to keep your immune system running less than optimally. Any germ in the wind may pose a threat to your health and wellness without proper defenses.
If you're the type that gets the sniffles, sore throat or the flu often, it only makes sense to seek out protection. Both, The Captains Lady’s Old World Remedy Oil and The Captains Lady’s Old World Remedy Balm can help to defend you against nasty germs and viruses, boost your immune system, and relieve symptoms if and when you’ve already fallen toward illness.
The Captains Lady’s Old World Remedy Oil
TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil contains a rich blend of 100% therapeutic grade essential oils known for antiseptic, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral properties, which have been proven by studies to kill bad germs (viruses, bacteria and fungus) in the air, from the environment, and from you by applying topically or diffusing into the air. Meaning, it should keep just about any flu, cold or virus at bay. One particular study took place at Weber State University in 1997 where results showed Thieves oil (using just the 5 most common ingredients) to have a 99.96% success rate

against airborne bacteria within 10 minutes of infusing into a space where bacteria had been exposed. Thieves oil being infused into a contained space of bacteria. Findings proved an 82% reduction in bacteria (Micrococcus luteus) found in water, air, dust and soil, a 44% reduction of staph (Staphylococcus aureus) and a 96% reduction in sepsis (Pseudomonas aeruginosa). And, this study tested only the 5 most common ingredients used in today’s Thieves oils. I use 14 essential oils in my formula below.

TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil Must Be Diluted Before Using
Never apply undiluted TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil directly to the skin. Some of the oils are ‘hot’ and can burn sensitive skin.
Whether you are trying to prevent being ill or are already symptomatic, mix 3-6 drops of TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil with 1 Tablespoon of any other base oil you have on hand, such as such as Olive, Almond, Grape Seed, Safflower, or Jojoba before applying.
The Captains Lady’s Old World Remedy Oil Uses
Topical Application for Prevention of Colds & Flu
To help prevent colds and flu, massage onto your feet morning and night during cold and flu season or whenever you have been around anyone ill.
To Remedy Colds & Flu
Massage into the lower back of your neck, your lower back, the back of your upper legs and your feet (tops and bottoms). Do this up to 4 times per day for up to 14 days, which is usually the normal recovery time for most viruses. You may also inhale the scent of the essential oils throughout the day either by smelling directly from the bottle 3-4 times per day or diffusing into the air.
For children 2-12 years of age, use only half the amount of TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil.
DO NOT use topically on children under the age of 2. Instead, diffuse the air around them (see below), but keep the oil out of reach at all times.
Mari J. Dionne ~ CHP, CLC www.thecaptainslady.com [email protected]
Topical Application for Cold Sores, Fever Blisters, Herpes & Shingles Outbreaks
Find a small, lidded container to hold 6-12 drops of TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil Recipe into 2 TB of Olive oil. This provides a 1 - 2% essential oil ratio, which is considered extremely safe when using essential oils on the skin. For this particular remedy you can go as high as a 5% ratio (30 drops to 2 Tablespoons of carrier oil, such as Olive or Coconut oil), but no higher.
Apply as soon as you feel an outbreak beginning (itch, ache, burn, etc.). It will cut breakout time by half and may even halt the breakout all together.
Or, you may choose to use The Captains Lady’s Old World Remedy Balm instead (it contains a stronger dilution of 5% and there's no preparation necessary).
Topical Application for Mild to Moderate Ache & Nerve Pain
To use TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil to soothe muscle and joint ache and pain, you'll be using a 5% dilution, which means you will be adding 30 drops of TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil to 2 Tablespoons of carrier oil, such as Olive, Coconut oil or some other food-grade oil. Using an oil that is extremely absorbable is highly recommended, such as Grapeseed, Apricot Kernel or Rose Hip. Hemp Seed may also be used. However, any kitchen oil will do in a pinch.
DO NOT slather on. Using too much could cause sensitivity.
Apply a just a small bit of your oil mixture by rubbing into the skin directly over the muscle or joint 3-4 times per day for immediate pain relief. This remedy works best for pain close to the surface just under the skin, such as on knuckles, elbows, and feet and you may also find daily use is even more beneficial.
Water Emersion (Bath Soak)
Mari J. Dionne ~ CHP, CLC www.thecaptainslady.com [email protected]
If you feel as if you might be coming down with something, have a sniffle, a stuffy nose or are achy all over try this very basic recipe at home.
Fill the tub at least half full of warm water, add one cup of Sea Salt and 6-20 drops of TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil. Soak for 20 minutes. TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil is very potent. For sensitive noses, start with only 6 drops (never use more than 20) and go from there to make sure the scent is not too strong for your liking. This should help open your sinuses, boost your immunity, and help to destroy germs that cause cold and flu. Sea salts help to relieve sore muscles, but you can use the oil alone should you not have salts on hand.
This is also a great soak for anyone suffering from bacterial, yeast, or other mild to moderate skin infections, such as Herpes or Shingles.
Diffusing into the Air (Aromatherapy)
TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil can help to kill airborne bacteria and prevent the spread of germs indoors when you want to clear germs out fast.
For preventative measures, diffuse TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil in your environment once per day to eliminate airborne germs. You may accomplish this by adding 6-12 drops of TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil to 2 TB of Olive (or some other food grade oil) oil or water in a cup or ceramic dish over a tea warmer for 20 minutes at a time 3-4 times per day.
You may also choose to simmer up to 12 (no more than 24) drops in a 1/2 cup of water in a shallow pan on the stove (also for 20 minutes at a time, 3-4 times per day). Cover the cup or pot when not in use.
Place 4-6 drops of TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil onto a cotton ball to place in your car, office or hotel room to kill airborne bacteria and freshen the air.
Mari J. Dionne ~ CHP, CLC www.thecaptainslady.com [email protected]
If you find you don’t care for the scent of TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil (we all have our likes and dislikes), add cinnamon sticks or other essential oils, such as Vanilla, Peppermint or Orange to dress up the fragrance for special dinners and holidays. No one will ever know you are disinfecting the air, unless you tell them.
A diffuser may be left running in the bedroom of anyone who is sick while they sleep every 3-4 hours for 20 minutes at a time. In children's rooms place the diffuser away from the bed in the corner of the room or up high so your child is not breathing direct fumes and cannot reach it, nor can pets. See Precautions below for what to do in the case of accidental poisoning.
TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil contains Eucalyptus and Rosemary, which are strong oils that some may be sensitive to. When using a diffuser, be sure to follow the exact directions for your particular diffuser when using undiluted oils.
Household Disinfectant, Odor Eliminator or All Purpose Spray for Cleaning
As a household disinfectant spray, you will be adding the oil to your spray bottle first, so it is in place in the bottom of the bottle before adding water. You’ll be mixing 6-12 drops of TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil to each ounce of warm water you place in your spray bottle. For example, if you place 4 ounces (1/2 cup) of warm water in your spray bottle you will want to place 12-24 drops of TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil into the spray bottle first before adding your warm water (not hot). Shake vigorously before each use. Mist in the air or on countertops, doorknobs, toys, phones, remote controls, litter boxes, pet beds, and other places that need disinfecting. Spray mattresses to help dispel bed bugs. You may also use it as a room spray. There is no need to wipe off unless there's a chance a child or pet might handle or lick the surface. Give it a few minutes to work (10-20) before wiping off.
Mari J. Dionne ~ CHP, CLC www.thecaptainslady.com [email protected]
Hand Sanitizer Add 6-12 drops of TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil to every ounce of Witch Hazel. A small spray bottle works well for this recipe. Or, use Aloe Vera gel instead as a hand sanitizing gel and use a small bottle with an open and pour nozzle. Laundry Add no more than 30 drops of TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil per wash load to freshen and disinfect clothing and bedding. Place the oils in the wash tub after the tub has filled with water and swish to distribute.
Disinfecting Stuffed Animals
No need to toss the Velveteen Rabbit in the trash. To disinfect and clean, place stuffed toy inside of a pillowcase and tie shut. Add 5-10 drops of TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil, (for small load) to washing machine. Wash on cold, gentle cycle. If the toy cannot be machine washed, add 4-5 drops on a piece of cloth. Place the cloth in the pillowcase with the toy and toss in the dryer for 20 minutes on cool or warm cycle.

The Captains Lady’s Old World Remedy Balm
The Captains Lady’s Old World Remedy Balm helps to heal acne breakouts, pimples, boils, insect bites, and minor fungal infections and minor to moderate skin irritations. It also helps to prevent blisters from forming due to cold sores, genital herpes and shingles and/or reduce breakout time by half, while greatly reducing, if not eliminating, pain and itch. The Captains Lady’s Old World Remedy Balm contains The Captains Lady’s Old World Remedy Oil in a base of Virgin Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E, Honey and Beeswax for smooth application and added skin protection. The Captains Lady’s Old World Remedy Balm glides on gently without pulling or damaging sensitive skin further. Healing takes place rather rapidly as it goes to work to support your body's immune system and restore health and wellness to your skin. And, the scent is favorable as well.
Mari J. Dionne ~ CHP, CLC www.thecaptainslady.com [email protected]
The Captains Lady’s Old World Remedy Balm is diluted at a 5% ratio, which is the maximum ratio still considered safe. Therefore, it is meant only for adults and children over the age of 12. I always suggest doing a patch test before using the oil or the balm (see below under Safety Precautions for instructions).
To apply, use a Q-Tip being careful to use a clean tip each time you dip into the balm to avoid contamination. You may want to use your fingers to apply topically, but continue to use a clean Q-tip each time you dip into the pot to avoid contamination. Be sure to wash hands thoroughly afterwards to avoid spreading germs and getting the balm into your eyes (rubbing), nose (picking) or mouth (eating). It’s not harmful in small amounts but it can sting a bit. You may apply a very thin, protective coat once every 3-4 hours as needed. Safety Precautions DO NOT use The Captains Lady’s Old World Remedy Oil or The Captains Lady’s Old World Remedy Balm on children under 2 years old. Use the diffuse method instead and do not place the oil or diffuser directly by the bed. ALWAYS perform a patch test, by placing the balm or diluted oil on a small patch of skin (dime size) the inside of the arm and inch or so below the elbow. On children ages 2-12, perform this patch test on the top of their foot. Cover this spot with a band aid or a sock. Check it every so often over the next few hours for redness, itching, hives or any other sign of irritation.
Mari J. Dionne ~ CHP, CLC www.thecaptainslady.com [email protected]
DO NOT USE THE FULL DOSE OF TCL’S OLD WORLD REMEDY OIL OR TCL’s OLD WORLD REMEDY BALM ON CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 2. You may use half the dose of TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil for children ages 2-12, which is only 1-3 drops of the oil to 1 Tablespoon of Olive, Coconut or some other food grade oil. This is a 1% dilution. And, for children under the age of 2, the diffuse method is permitted as long as the diffuser is not placed near the child and remains out of reach. NEVER place TCL’s Old World Remedy Oil or TCL’s Old World Remedy Balm too close to the eyes, nose or mouth, never swallow, and never place in ears or in any other bodily orifice. DO NOT use water to remove TCL’s Old World Remedy or TCL’s Old World Remedy Balm from your skin to avoid spreading. Instead, use Olive Oil or another base oil to remove it. You could even use Butter or Crisco. IMPORTANT: Essential oils, when applied topically can cause a phototoxic reaction. Meaning, if you apply them to your skin and then go out into the sunlight you may burn more easily. This applies to anything made with essential oils, whether homemade or over-the-counter, such as face creams, massage oils, body lotions, lip balms, etc. Typically, to avoid having the sun shine on any area you have applied essential oils is the wise thing to do. IMPORTANT: Since TCL’s Old World Remedy Balm contains solid oils, it can melt in higher degree temperatures. Keep this in mind when it comes to pockets, purses and glove compartments. Be careful opening warm containers. As the temperature cools, however, it will become solid again. Storing Your Old World Remedies Store, both, The Captains Lady’s Old World Remedy Oil and Old World Remedy Balm in a cool, dry, dark place away from heat, dampness and light. Both could last for years when stored properly. The scent will tell you whether it is still fresh or not. And, even if it is old, it will not harm you. It just may not work as well.
