Disease In The House?

Can disease be lurking in your house, without your knowledge? Yes. It may be found as mold lurking most anywhere, from the bathroom to the basement, to the carpeting in your bedroom. Mold is another word for fungus.

Since household mold was addressed in a previous post, this posting is on your personal mold. Yes, you may be harboring mold in your body, and it's all too common; you may not even guess it is there. You know it's there is you have a health issue such as diabetes. And there are scores more health problems where mold, or at least, the milder form, candida, is at the root of the problem.

One of the best, and perhaps the easiest and non-invasive methods of addressing this issue is to start consuming herbs or teas, or therapeutic quality essential oils that are known to help the body better attack fungus issues. There are actually quite a few of these, and if you do have a fungal issue in the body(mold is termed as a fungal issue when it's inside the body, and generally as a mold issue when it's outside the body), it would be wise to consume teas or oils at least twice daily, or use the oils topically twice or more daily.

Using aromatherapy internally is not generally recommended if you have no idea what you are doing, since you may experience certain discomforts doing this, or, depending on what brand of oils you are using, they may be chemicals, which will do you potentially, much more harm than good.

Just a few of the common essential oils known to be anti-fungal include:

1. Oregano oil(this one is hot, better to use on the bottom of the feet rather than internally, unless you buy it is an enteric coated capsule)
2. Cinnamon Bark oil. The bark is different than the leaf, and the leaf is considerably less money. The bark is more potent on mold.
3. Clove oil. The first two oils listed are hotter than this one. You can take this one as a therapeutic quality internally, but when starting out, never take more than 3 drops of any of these, as the detox may cause you to feel very sick.
4. Geranium oil. This one has the added benefit of helping detox the liver.
5. Thyme oil. Not as hot as the first 3 oils, but slightly warm. A moderately potent anti-fungal.
6. Pine oil. This one is an all around first aid type oil, as well as being anti-fungal.
7. Frankincense oil. This one as a therapeutic oil is fairly expensive in comparison to the rest, just to let you know.
8. Lemongrass oil. This is a powerful anti-fungal and digestive aid. Getting this oil on your hands will stain you yellow for several hours.

There are more oils than these that are anti-fungal, but I'm attempting to keep this post shorter rather than longer.

Some herbs/foods that are anti-fungal include:
1. Licorice
2. Olive leaf
3. Pau d'Arco
4. Turmeric
5. Black Walnut Hulls
6. Chapparal
7. Garlic
8. Chamomile
9. Goldenrod

Shoveling Snow?

It's easy to get sore muscles when shoveling. Mostly I think, because we don't generally do it year 'round. Massage is always beneficial for sore muscles. And massage with aromatherapies can be more effective, and more relaxing.

Using peppermint, clove, or eucalyptus oils can be very helpful in these cases. Peppermint is a known anti-inflammatory compound, and is relaxing, mentally and physically. Clove oil is helpful as an analgesic, so that it helps to deaden pain, relieves some inflammation, and therefore accelerates healing. Euclayptus oil is very helful in relieving stressed muscles.

Frostbite Anyone?

Frostbite can affect most anyone. It is a painful, potentially devastating condition which most people that find themselves with it, did not anticipate frostbite ever happening to them. So what to do if you find you have frostbite?

First of all, this is one time I would suggest going to a medical doctor for advice. What I would do, because I know through research, direct application, and intuition; that I would use specific therapeutic quality essential oils. Why oils? Because they have healing capacities that go far beyond almost everything else, and always far beyond what drugs can do. Using warm water is a great place to start. Never use hot water for frostbite!!

Here are a few essential oils I would use:

** Cypress oil. This oil is known to help circulation. It has been used for centuries for a variety of uses.

** Cinnamon oil(bark is preferred). This oil also helps circulation. However, this is a hot oil to the skin, and dilution should be utilized. Dilute with an oil like Olive, Sesame, or Sunflower. Cinnamon oil will also aid in warming the skin and surrounding tissues.

** Clove oil. This oil is the most powerful anti-oxidant known. It acts as a hemostat, meaning it balances the blood. It also acts as a numbing agent, to help subdue some of the pain associated with frostbite. A carrier oil should be used with this for frostbite.

** Juniper oil. This oil is known to help regenerate nerves. Because frostbite affects adversely, the nerves in the body, this can be very beneficial.

** Geranium oil. This is very similar in function to Juniper for the nerves. A bit stronger of a smell, the deeper and longer lasting smell is known as a "base" scent.

** Lemon oil. This oil is very helpful in increasing micro-circulation, and would be a wise choice in treating frostbite conditions. However, as will all aromatherapies, when treating a condition such as frostbite, it is wise to use a carrier oil.

A carrier oil has multiple benefits. For one, it softens the heat from the warmer oils, such as Clove, Cinnamon and Oregano. It also helps to slow the evaporative rate when aromatherapy is applied topically. A carrier allows you to use less of an essential oil and spread the oil over a wider area. The benefit from using aromatherapy is still there.

Tis The Season For Illness

While many people use things they think are very helpful to help prevent illness, including the flu, we have to question whether or not they really are useful. For the end user.

For instance, using anti-bacterial soaps. One should be able to believe these are a great thing. After all, they are touted as being able to kill pretty much any bug you have on your skin. This may be true. However(you knew this was coming, didn't you?), the products in anti-bacterials are nearly all chemicals, most of them listed as highly dangerous on the MSDS sheets. One may not think that is a real problem. Until, we realize that most if not all of those chemicals, absorb directly into the skin. So what is a person to do?

You can get affordable health insurance, without the cost and the hazard of getting drugs, by utilizing true therapeutic quality essential oils. Many of these therapeutic quality oils are known to kill every virus, nearly all if not all, harmful bacteria, mold and fungus, staph, ecoli and much more. Studies have been conducted at many universities including the online resource PubMed.

This is what I use when I work on those with viral conditions: Not saying these will work for you, due to FDA requirements, and the individuals body chemisty;

Oregano(Oregano Vulgare)
Cinnamon Bark(Cinnamomum Verum)
Clove(Syzygium aromaticum)

I have yet to find anyone who did not respond very positively when these essential oils were used on their conditions.

Always, always, always, remember, that until you are well versed in practical useable of essential oils, that you should dilute these oils with a carrier, such as Olive Oil. The three oils I referenced above can all be warm and even very hot, to the skin, if applied neat(undiluted). Oregano is the hottest, and is generally ok neat on the bottom of the feet.

The American Botanical Council has some great information on essential oils.

Yeast Infection Got You Down?

There are many ways to combat yeast in the body. None of which will be all that quick to get the results you need. As long as you persevere, you can do this. Herbs that can help include Pau d'Arco, Cinnamon, Oregano, Clove. Coconut oil is helpful as are several therapeutic quality essential oils, such as Hyssop, Tee Tree(Melaleuca Alternafolia), Cinnamon, Oregano, and Clove. This list is by no means complete.

Kefir is a great addition into the diet particularly when working to get rid of candida issues. Kefir is better than yogurt, although both will help.

Stress is another issue that makes getting rid of yeast that much more difficult. And, if you won't eat properly, getting rid of candida is nearly impossible. It may appear gone, but most likely is not. MacDonalds and Burger King do not classify as eating properly. Fresh organic produce is a great way to help get your digestive system in balance, especially when fermented foods are added.

Bladder Infections

A large portion of American, particularly women, suffer from recurrent bouts of bladder infections. While there are several methods of combating this issue, some are obviously more effective than others. One that is moderately effective; Bearberry, is found here.

Another method of combating bladder infections is from a concentrated form of Cranberries, known as D-Mannose. Read about this one here.

Several therapeutic quality essential oils are effective in treating bladder infections as well also. Care MUST be taken to insure the essential oils are of therapeutic quality, as most sold in stores are not, and much of the ones online are not. This site has certified pure and therapeutic oils. Oils that kill harmful bacteria and viruses include:

* Oregano
* Thyme
* Clove
* Cinnamon Bark

Even applied topically these are very helpful. Helpful, because like most anything of a smaller molecular nature, these will absorb very quickly through the skin and into every cell of the body. If you are not well versed or practiced in taking therapeutic oils internally, please ask for help from a qualified practioner, to avoid some potentially uncomfortable times. I can help you if you'd like.

The oils listed above are not the full representation of aromatherapy which kills and inhibits harmful bacterias. Most of these oils do not harm the helpful bacteria, as the helpful needs oxygen, and the harmful lives on little to no oxygen. Therapeutic oils can provide the oxygen necessary to kill pathogens and enhance life.
