Petite Fleur therapeutic aromablends reduce Nocebo effect

For the past 35 years Harmony and Relaxation therapeutic blends have been used successfully in patient care to reduce the Nocebo effect. The blends are used before and after chemotherapy and cancer treatment at Baylor Hospital's Healing Environment program in Dallas and Irving Texas Patient care began with bone marrow and stem cell patents and quickly spread throughout all departments, including speech therapy. Topical application allows the aromas to be used with other modalities.

The Nocebo effect occurs when expectations and negative suggestions cause symptoms or illness to occur. Nocebo effect is both biochemical and physiological, displaying with a variety of cues. Cortisol and histamine levels dramatically increase, targeting adrenal and hypothalamus involvement. Recently, Ted Kaptchuk at Harvard medical, proved Nocebo occurs without conscious awareness.

 Therapeutic aroma blends lessen anxiety and unconscious responses. I have clinically used Harmony and Reduce Stress essences in the United Kingdom and USA for over 25 years to balance a full spectrum of stress. These aromas change brain chemistry within seconds affecting moods and fears. Given a repose from the stress response, the brain can adjust to homeostasis.

Lemon Rose Clarifier clears acne

Lemon Rose Clarifier reduces complex conditions leading to acne.Ninety percent of civilized people develop acne during their lifetime. Recent research suggests Propionibacterium acnes initiates inflammation of the skin. This  results in excessive oil production and large mounts of dead skin and/or cysts. Although many conditions exist with acne, the primary target is to reduce inflammation and oil reduction of the skin. Lemon Rose Clarifier reduces several strains of P. acnes and oil production simultaneously to prevent and heal acne.

Lemon Rose Clarifier is misted on the affected skin morning and evening after thorough cleansing. Always avoid the eyes. Lavender silk and satin body and shower cleanser can be successfully used for deep pore cleaning. And, for added protection and regeneration, Rose oil SkinTherapy may also be misted on the skin at bedtime.

It's simple, easy and effective. Clients enjoy results within days , continuing for weeks. Cancer patients using chemotherapy agents causing acne also enjoy good results using Lemon Rose Clarifier.I have used these products therapeutically for over 30 years successfully. No adverse side effects have been reported. However, it is best to test a patch of skin with product to assure there is no sensitivity. The plants are grown organically and processed from my gardens without chemicals.

Inflammation

Inflammation

The adrenals are two glands located above the kidneys. Each gland produces important hormones. They act like the “brain” inside the lower body and are involved with neuro-chemical re-uptake with the brain. Adrenals are major stress organs that affect blood pressure, inflammatory response, immune function, blood sugar, muscle spasms and pain levels. The adrenals efficiency can be lowered by stress, pain and trauma, emotional or physical. Essence blends that may help the adrenals include Reduce Stress and Inner Strength. Reduce Stress reduces symptoms and stressors affecting the adrenals. Inner Strength helps build stamina and immune functions. The adrenals work like batteries and need a charge to keep going.

For those who also have autoimmune diseases and functions, Snapdragon, Yarrow and Recovery will also reduce over reactions and lowered functions of the adrenals. Autoimmune reactions include allergies, hives and psoriasis. Autoimmune diseases include lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and juvenile diabetes. Other illnesses such as chemical sensitivities, diabetes and thyroiditis include injury to adrenal sufficiency. Enhancing thyroid and adrenal function increases quality of life and decreases chronic pain syndromes.

A safe and effective herbal longevity tonic, fo ti, increases thyroid and adrenal function. In Chine, Fo ti, Ho Shou Wu, is more popular and effective than ginsengs. I do not recommend ginseng for chronic pain and chronic illness because it is “heating” to the body. Fo ti is warming and nurturing. I have used it to support adrenal/thyroid functions and replenish healthy bone tissue in osteoporosis clients. Fo ti will return hair to a dark color that has grayed, when taken as a liquid tincture over several months. Healthy hair is a sign of healthy adrenals and thyroid.
