Aromatherapy for Detox, Mold and Environmental Toxins

by Dr. Judy Griffin

Aromatherapy for detox is a safe, effective and natural way to enhance self-healing. Detox is a gentle cleanser, to help remove metabolic waste. There are genetic factors involved in the body’s ability to detoxify molds and industrial toxins. One in four Americans cannot effectively remove mold mycotoxins in animal feed, and other biotoxins. (See Journal of American Science, Jan 1991.) These toxins also include indoor molds, and solvents, such as benzene and toluene.

Fungi and molds release toxins that cause an inflammatory reaction in the neurons and brain cells. The cytokines released destroy affected brain cells and neurons. (The Scientist, Sept 2011, Sue Griffin: The Role of Inflammation in Alzheimer’s.) Scientific studies relate mold toxins to Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, and other neurological conditions. (Purzycki, CB, Shain DH, Fungal Toxins and Multiple Sclerosis a Compelling connection: Brain Res Bulletin, April 2010.) Detox is used in hospitals and clinics to assist in natural detoxification processes.

Tissue samples from those suffering from neurological disorders, such as M.S. and Alzheimer’s, have high levels of chitin in the brain. Chitin is an enzyme released to target fungal toxins and may also be involved in allergic reactions. Chitin is otherwise not found in humans.  

Mold and mold toxins are available in our food supply. Allergic reaction to foods, such as corn, may be from mold toxins. About 20% of corn grown in America contains dangerous mold toxins. (Russell L, Cox DF, Larsen G, Bodwell K, Nelson CE: Incidence of Molds and Mycotoxins in Commercial Animal Feed Mills in Seven Midwestern States: Journal of Animal Science. Jan 1991)

Mold toxins are believed to be involved with other neurological and common symptoms. These can include Chronic Fatigue, Depression - Anxiety, Rage, Bipolar and Autism. The immune system is constantly destroying brain and nerve tissue through inflammatory and histamine response. Detox encourages drainage of lymphatic tissue, where these toxins may also be causing problems, such as leaky gut syndrome.

Leaky gut is intestinal hypermeability. Damaged gut tissue is believed to be caused by environmental toxins and imbalanced intestinal bacteria. Candida yeast and bacterial overgrowth in the intestines can interfere with serotonin and taurine production in the gut. Immune and allergic reactions to mold toxins increase electrical activity in the brain and may also increase dopamine levels. This can cause a host of symptoms, such as panic, rage, anxiety, addiction, insomnia, and nerve degenerative illness. (Maes M., the Cytokine Hypothesis of Depression, Inflammation, Oxidative, and Nitrosative Stress and Leaky Gut: Neuroendocrine Letter, June 2008)

There are many combination treatments to help the body return to homeostasis. This includes nutrition, diet and Detox to enhance the integrity of the immune response and detoxification of environmental and food toxins. Aromatherapy for Detox begins working with brain chemistry in 1/100th of a second through inhalation. The body then releases neurochemicals and hormones through the bloodstream and lymphatics to improve health. It seems obvious that we must also clean our external environment to reduce mold toxins and industrial toxins underlying immune response.

Stop Suffering helps reduce over sensitive pain receptors in the brain. Over time it also reduces the neurotransmitter feedback that allows the same headache or pain to return after using narcotics and pain meds.   Pain aromatherapy may be used concurrently with medications with no interactions.  The use of aromatherapy products in pain management is increasing in use in hospitals, clinics and patients.  The most effective way to apply Stop Suffering is on the flat area of the inner ear. Rub on a drop of Stop Suffering then firmly press the area and hold it for up to 60 seconds. Repeat in the other ear. Use this protocol as many times as it takes to control and eliminate pain.

Pain Aromatherapy for Neck injury and chronic pain

Pain aromatherapy is useful when dealing with chronic pain.  Neck problems are the most frequently reported injuries. Nerve damage can cause ling term pain. Joints can be stressed by motion of the neck bones. Strain, such as whiplash, can also create sudden changes in the spinal fluid. Females are twice as likely to experience a neck injury with long term symptoms and recurrent cycles of pain. Neck injuries cause chronic headaches, which are four times more likely to be experienced by females.   By using pain aromatherapy, either alone or along with other treatments, the body is better able to cope with and have a reduction of pain more quickly.

Headaches caused by neck injury include pain usually on one side of the head, often beginning near the base of the skull side and front of the head, including around the eye. Shoulder and arm pain may also be involved.

Aromatherapy aids for Myofascial Release

Stop Hurting and Deep Massage Lotions

by Judy Griffin, PhD.

Deeply penetrating essential oils in Stop Hurting and Deep Massage lotions make aromatherapy an excellent aid for myofascial release. Aromatherapy essential oils penetrate the thick, fibrous, constricted fascia overlying muscle tissue. Aromatherapy essential oils penetrate the thick, fibrous, constricted fascia overlying muscle tissue

Chronic inflammation causes the protective layer of fascia tissue to harden. The results are pain and muscle tension creating a feedback loop causing symptoms even after the myofascia releases. Stop Hurting and Deep Massage lotions are successfully used in hospitals and clinics to penetrate layers of restricted fascia, increasing circulation, lymphatic drainage and mobilizing adhered tissue. Aromatherapy essential oils soften the myofascial tissue, allowing the deep and constrained tissue to stretch and move as it it designed to function. Stop Hurting and Deep Massage lotions are gently massaged into the restricted area for 3 to 5 minutes. Aromatherapy aids myofascial release causing a light pulsing, warmth and softening of the facial tissue. Lotions are gently massaged into the restricted area for 3 to 5 minutes. Aromatherapy aids myofascial release causing a light pulsing, warmth and softening of the facial tissue. And lotions are gently massaged into the restricted area for 3 to 5 minutes. Aromatherapy aids myofascial release causing a light pulsing, warmth and softening of the facial tissue.

Aromatherapy revitalizes and de-stresses the fascia and muscles without producing side effects or putting a “band aid” over the symptom. Stop Hurting and Deep Massage lotions help reduce soreness after therapy, working quickly to break down inflamed, fibrous tissue, removing toxins from the painful area.

Myofascial release is also helped with aromatherapy by stimulating an immune response. Penetrating essential oils, such as peppermint and eucalyptus create warmth to break up congestion. They also have an analgesic effect, relaxing the muscles and reducing pain.

Stop Hurting and Deep Massage simultaneously work on physical and psychological levels. As stress lessens and tightness is relieved, nervous fatigue and feeling overwhelmed are also relieved. Aromatherapy myofascial release normalizes the body and mind. Be your best again using Stop Hurting and Deep Massage lotions.

Aromatherapy for Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral Neuropathy starts in the brain and spinal cord. The condition occurs when these nerves connected to the brain and spinal cord is damaged, resulting in tingling, pain and impairment of muscle movement n the limbs. This condition of peripheral neuropathy is common in people over 55, often related to repetitive motion, such as carpel tunnel. The arms and legs experience neuropathy from injury; aging; diabetes and chemotherapy. Topical application of essential oil blends have been used to advance neuronal healing for centuries and increase circulation.

Applied 3x daily where it hurts.

Stop Hurting Lotion— Relieves joint and muscular pain. Clinically used for arthritis, injuries, and rehabilitation.

Circulation Booster Body Lotion— clinically used for swelling, fluid retention, increased circulation, neuropathy, rheumatoid arthritis.

Lymph Flow Massage— Massage into arms, shoulders, back, and feet to increase circulation, reduce neuropathy, pain that moves (rheumatic), remove lymphatic toxins.

Stop Suffering – Reduces symptoms of chronic and acute pain, neuralgia, and inflammation.  Used in pain clinics and hospitals for neuropathy, sickle cell anemia symptoms, joint pain, rheumatoid arthritis, shingles, and autoimmune symptoms.

Tingling and numbness may be involved. Lymph Flow lotion is best to alleviate pain and symptoms.  Aromatherapy used for Sciatica and Extremity pain is safe to use with prescription and over the counter drugs.  If you are looking for a topical method for sciatica and extremity pain, aromatherapy is a complimentary method of treatment.

Neck & Shoulder Pain Aromatherapy

Tension, trauma and injury cause neck and shoulder pain and stiffness. Scoliosis, curvature of the spine also causes the shoulders and neck to misalign with muscle spasms.  Using aromatherapy for neck and shoulder pain is a non-invasive and complimentary treatment method.   Relax the Shoulders and Stop Suffering blends relieve tension and create more circulation to reduce spasms and pain. Relax the Shoulders is a cooling, soothing, relaxing blend for delicate tissues.  Stop Hurting, Circulation Booster and Deep Massage lotions may be too stimulating for tender areas around and on the neck.  To stop suffering and relax the shoulders, lightly massage 2-3 times daily with either a pain aromatherapy lotion or spray.  

Stroke can leave tingling, numbness and severe pain in the arms, legs and affected areas. Clinically, Stop Hurtinglotion, massaged 2 or 3 times daily onto the painful area dramatically reduced symptoms in several days to several weeks.
