Recent Vitamin D Recommendations

Three of every four Americans are deficient in Vitamin D. Vitamin D daily recommendations have modestly increased to 600 IU and 800 IU daily for elder care. Much higher doses are recommended by researchers, up to 5,000 IU daily. There are no adverse side effects known up to 4,000 IU daily for adults.

Vitamin D is known to reduce risk of cancer, osteoporosis and bone disease, asthma, infectious diseases, strokes, tuberculosis, type I and type II diabetes, depression, insomnia, joint pain and muscle weakness, fibromyalgea, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, PMS, hypertension and multiple sclerosis, dementia, Alzheimers, and Crohn’s.

Overweight people have lower levels of vitamin D because excess fat binds vitamin D.

Circulating vitamin D3 can be tested by serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D, activated by the kidneys.

Aromahealthtexas offers a pharmaceutical vitamin D3 1000 supplement for your greatest health.

Over 59 million overweight Americans have a greater risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer and arthero sclerosis, obese children and adults will have these symptoms by age 30. Excess fat cells produce hormones, lessening insulin sensitivity and increasing inflammation leading to heart disease and lower tryptophan levels. This makes it hard to lose weight and greatly reduces the feeling of fullness.

Weight Gain & Loss

Weight gain and loss is a common problem for those who suffer from pain and sleep deprivation. Some medications and lack of regular exercise may also lead to weight problems. (See Slice of Life Nutrition and Dietary Manual.)

The Weight formula aids those who need to balance hormonal function, blood sugar regulation, fatigue and eating patterns.

Weighless aromablend helps to reduce appetite and stress eating.

Cravings encourages healthy eating and personal habits. Cravings is used for chemical dependency as well as eating behavior.

Self Image enhances a healthy inner life, self acceptance and the stamina to achieve healthy goals.

Toxic Thyroid helps balance metabolism to achieve optimal weight and body temperature and digestion.

Detox helps to balance natural body processes that include healthy gut flora. Overgrowth of Candida Albicans in the bowel and intestines can lead to sugar and carbohydrate cravings. Weight gain can also occur from inadequate detoxification processes.

Gastro-Intestinal

Gastrointestinal problems are almost as prevalent as backaches. Digestive complaints, acid reflux, irritable bowel, spasticity and intestinal inflammation adversely affect the majority of the population. There are more over-the-counter remedies for intestinal complaints than any other problem. Subclinical and hypothyroidism reduces gut motility and often are undiagnosed. The causes of digestive complaints are as various as the over-the-counter medications. Food sensitivity can cause multiple symptoms, although food allergy is ruled out. Colors, additives, pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers can also cause digestive reactions.

The intestinal tract is a 30 foot organ, containing large amounts of lymph tissue. At least 70% of immune responses initiate from intestinal health. Fuel for all bodily processes begin in the stomach and intestines.

Intestinal mobility is initiated by the thyroid. Those with subclinical or hypothyroidism may havechronic constipation. Slower metabolism adversely affects digestion and assimilation. Every function of the body cannot reach its potential. Hyperthyroid may result in lower bone density and poor mineralization in every cell. The body slowly starves for energy. A large percentage of women have hypothyroid by age 50. Low thyroid is responsible for heart attacks in men and women.

Essences can catalyze the body to reach its greatest potential as well as reduce symptoms. Diet and lifestyle changes are necessary and sometimes medications. Abate Anger blend reduces inflammation from the esophagus to the colon. This blend helps people who suffer from inflammatory bowel and Crohns. Stomach and abdominal pain of any origin is best soothed with the Abate Anger blend. It can be topically sprayed or applied on the abdomen or the neck, wrist or throat. Reapply every 30 minutes until tension and pain lessen. Otherwise three times daily is recommended. Blends applied daily support the body’s innate healing and produce the best results.

Inner Strength  is a blend that supports inherent immunity. It enhances digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats and supports lymphatic drainage to remove toxins.

Lymph Flow lotion is excellent support for the lymph tissues and organs, such as the appendix. Massage onto the stomach 3 times daily to promote peristalsis (bowel muscle movement) and lymphatic detoxification. Lymph Flow is a stimulating, energizing lotion.

Intestinal tissue can be or become hypersensitive to foods and beverages at anytime.  blend, applied 3 times daily is best suited for this condition. For best results, alternate Abate Anger 3 times daily to reduce histamine and inflammatory reactions.

Thyroid health is also indicated for intestinal motility and constipation. The Toxic Thyroid blend helps normalize the thyroid, the body’s energizer. It is the metabolism of this organ function that supports digestion and assimilation of food and energizes organ function. The thyroid is vulnerable to environmental and chemical toxins, as well as physical stress. Toxic Thyroid supports the proper regeneration and function of the organ and subsequently intestinal functions. It is an important part of weight management and will be described further in the Weight Section.

Scarring in any area of the intestinal tract is best helped with Regenerate and Recovery blends. Each may be applied 3 times daily on site or any clean, unbroken skin.

Hiatel hernia and hernias are helped by the Abate Anger blend. Hernias may require surgery or medical supervision. If surgery is necessary, use the Recovery blend to reduce scarring and encourage healing

Thyroid Aromatherapy

Chronic pain, fatigue and fibromyalgia can include an underlying thyroid problem. Common symptoms of lower thyroid include “brain fog” or senility in the elderly; malaise and fatigue often misdiagnosed as depression; dry, brittle hair, skin and nails or thinning hair; constipation; cold hands feet or susceptibility to coldness, low body temperature under 98.6; weight gain or inability to lose weight; heart attacks and symptoms of heart trouble, especially in women; miscarriages and infertility; unresolved nerve pain.   Pain aromatherapy is a topical solution to help with these matters.  Our thyroid aromatherapy blend may  safely be used along with over the counter and prescription medications or these pain aromatherapy blends may be used on their own. 

The thyroid is the body’s main metabolizer. It allows nutrients from foods available to be absorbed. We are not only what we eat, but, more importantly, what we metabolize. The thyroid is affected by stress and “aging”, which may lower optimal capacity.  

Toxic Thyroid is a blend of essences and essential oils, applied topically that can enhance the thyroid’s performance. It is not hormonal or a substitute for thyroid hormones. It may be used as an adjunct to hormone therapy and to reduce symptoms of low thyroid.

Toxic Thyroid has also helped those suffering from symptoms of hyperthyroid: rapid heartbeat, anxiety and inability to gain weight are major symptoms. Always contact a physician when symptoms occur that may require blood work and medical supervision.
