Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is decreased bone density, leading to fractures and pain. Thirty percent of women over 65 have osteoporosis. A small percentage of older men have osteoporosis. Hormone deficiencies, lower mobility and exercise reduce bone density and strength. Calcium alone has little effect increasing bone density. Most calcium supplements are not well absorbed. Calcium carbonate is chalk. It is a better antacid than calcium supplement. I use an hydroxy appetit well absorbed form of calcium with synergistic minerals and strontium, a potent bone builder.

A natural form of vitamin D3 enhances healthy bones and teeth. Recent studies confirm low levels of vitamin D in adults throughout North America. If you are in sunlight daily, vitamin D is only absorbed through the skin several hours after exposure. Most sunbathers and workers wash vitamin D off before it is absorbed. Vitamin D3 can repair osteoporotic bones tissue much faster than calcium. Vitamin D3 is well absorbed, especially in combination with Vitamin K2.

Calcium utilization is linked to Vitamin K2. This nutrient prevents bone loss, repairs weakness and removes calcium plaque from arterial walls, also promoting cardiovascular health. The most bioavailable form is Menaquinone-7 or MK-7.

Natural phyto-hormones are available and easily assimilated in my Female Serenity formula. Plant hormones are safe and effective for use with osteoporosis and natural hormone therapy. They work with estrogen, progesterone and testosterone receptors in a lock and key format. If the body requires the hormone, it is delivered to the receptor site. Otherwise, the herbs work as a blood cleanser to removed toxins and metabolic waste from the body. The amount of actual hormone is 1/400th of a pharmaceutical dose, a level that will not build toxicity in the body. Female Serenity is a liquid, which allows the dose to be tailored to an individual’s needs. Estrogen, progesterone and testosterone are necessary to build and repair strong bones in women in small amounts.

Female Serenity is enhanced with a tincture of polygonum multiflorum, fo ti. This root has a 5000 year history of use for building strong bones. I offer it alone for women who are hormone positive breast cancer survivors. it is also in a liquid form for dose management. Fo ti tincture is a potent energizing herb, more popular in the Orient than ginseng for longevity.

Therapeutic blends also enhance bone density and promote healthy bones. Inner Strength formula has increased bone density for individuals without the use of medications or calcium supplementation. Female Balance is another therapeutic blend used to help women balance and utilize natural hormones. It is used alone to reduce menopausal PMS, painful menses and endometriosis symptoms. Both formulas can be applied topically to pulse points on the neck and wrist or directly on a low bone density area.

Bone pain and subsequent muscle spasms can be prevented and reduced with daily application of the No More Pain and Pain Management lotions. Apply directly to the affected area twice daily of each lotion. Manage Pain therapeutic blend may be worn on the affected, neck or wrist to reduce and relieve pain and the stressors associated with pain.

Hormones

Hormone imbalance can cause or be a result of chronic pain. Men and women suffer from pain, fatigue, sleep disorders, depression and anxiety, muscle wasting, memory problems, cystitis, osteoporosis and low libido. Low testosterone in men and women can increase inflammation.

Essences that enhance hormonal balance are Female Balance and Male Power. Fluctuating estrogen levels and low estrogen levels can induce migraine headaches.

Female Serenity herbal tonic contains phyto (plant) hormones that help balance estrogen and progesterone levels. The dose can be moderated because it is a liquid.

Testosterone levels can be enhanced by supporting the adrenals. Inner Strength essence is helpful. DHEA supports adrenal and testosterone levels.

All hormone levels can be checked by your physician through blood work. Treatment should be as natural as possible.

Cystitis

Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder which may include the urethra. Interstitial cystitis is a much more complex inflammation of the granular tissue, which looks like hemorrhages inside the bladder. Symptoms include burning, itching and pain. Manage Pain and Urinary Tract Support blends reduce symptoms. Apply every 30 minutes when pain and burning occur. Use twice daily on an ongoing basis to reduce occurrence. Manage Pain and Urinary Tract Support may also reduce symptoms of kidney infection and nephritis. These problems must also be treated by a licensed health care practitioner.

Decongest: Sinus, Asthma, Colds, Cough and Cystitis Aromatherapy

Decongest is an aromablend originally formulated for sinus conditions. It is also beneficial for colds, the flu, bronchial congestion, asthma, pneumonia and over production of mucus. Asthmatics have successfully used Decongest on the upper back or chest to alleviate symptoms, reduce mucus and possibility of infection. Decongest also reduces coughs and helps remove catarrh from the body.

While contracting at local hospitals, I began suggesting Decongest at COPD support groups. Patients successfully used Decongest even on oxygen. The essential oils in Decongest open the lung tissue to assist in breathing. One COPD client in New Mexico raised his oxygen saturation levels to 95% using a special blend including Decongest.  All the essential oils in Decongest reduce the stress of exhaustion, nervous depression while improving circulation for clients. Swollen glands also benefit from the topical application of Decongest.

Decongest is in a sweet almond oil base which coats the skin and penetrates into the bloodstream and lymphatic system to initial the self-healing process Decongest can be worm on the sinus area of the cheeks, nose, temple or forehead. The chest and upper back are good locations for asthmatics to apply Decongest and those suffering from coughs and headaches. Children should not have Decongest applied to their face. 

The unexpected benefit of Decongest happened when clients used Decongest  to relieve symptoms of cystitis and pelvic congestion. Decongest was applied topically to the pelvic area or added to a bath. Pregnant women should avoid application of Decongest, but they can inhale the vapors once daily.

An added benefit of Decongest is it enhances mental alertness and concentration. The stimulating effects of Decongest leave you in a happy mood. Mother Nature’s Herbal is a book containing further information.

Allergies, Eczema and Aromatherapy

Allergic eczema is the most common skin disease, often beginning early in life. One in 5 children of industrial countries is affected by this red, inflamed itchy skin. It is usually followed by a host of allergies to food, animals and the environment.   Aromatherapy is a topical way to deal with these issues. 

Recent research indicates a mutation of the filaggrin gene is often involved with children suffering with eczema. Filaggrin is a protein involved with the formation and hydration of a protective layer of skin. Mutations in the gene create dry, flaky skin unable to form an effective barrier from foreign irritants. These “allergens” pass through this porous layer of skin producing an allergic response and resulting in eczema. Afterwards, these same materials, or allergens will also produce an allergic reaction in the lungs or in the coryza skin of the nasal tissue only because the skin was unable to maintain a strong barrier during the initial exposure. The natural skin barrier must be repaused to avoid continuous allergic responses and more eczema.

Headache / Sinus Pain Aromatherapy

Headaches are a common source of pain and often mysterious in nature. Most headaches are related to tension and muscle tightening in the neck and base of the skull. Stress, alignment and ergonomics are often the cause of tension headaches.  Aromatherapy is increasing in use for helping reduce headache and sinus pain.  These are non-invasive aromatherapy pain products that are topically applied and may be safely used concurrently with over the counter and prescription medications.

Relax the Shoulders lotion massaged onto the neck, collarbone and shoulders is best for tension headaches.   Deep Massage essence blend applied on the temples and across the forehead help reduce cyclical pain and pain receptors. Each pain aromatherapy blend is calming and soothing. Relaxation and Reduce Stress blends promote calmness and stamina to reduce everyday stressors.

Migraine headaches have several symptoms: sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, vomiting, visual disturbances, auras, tingling, clumsiness and difficulty communicating and hearing. Many factors trigger migraines: hormone imbalance, weather, stress, fatigue, hunger, diet, trauma and neck injuries. Sufferers should use these pain aromatherapy products:   Deep Massage daily, and Relax the Shoulders lotion on the neck and shoulders twice daily.

Sinusitis and subsequent headaches and facial pain are best helped with Decongest aromablend lightly massaged around the nose, cheeks, on the temples and forehead. The Sinus spray can be used throughout the day for quick relief. Allergy blend is also used when common allergens cause sinusitis.

Ear infections are common to most children by the age of three.  Deep Massage blend can be worn to reduce pain during medical treatment. Unwind aromablend worn behind the ears and/or side of the neck increase drainage and may help reduce reoccurrence. If reoccurrence continues, dietary changes may be needed.

Sinusitis, Sinus Issues and Decongest

Sinusitis affects half our population during a lifetime and a quarter of the population at any given time.  Sinus pressure, inflammation and infection affect every age group.  Sinusitis symptoms include headaches and facial pain.  Although strong antibiotics and prednisone injections may be used to combat symptoms, they may come with side effects.  Antihistamines and decongestants combined with acetephetamine are used to combat re-occurrences.  Sinus surgery may be suggested for chronic conditions and deformities. 

Organically grown aromatics processed without hexane and toxic chemicals positively impact the sinuses.  Sinusitis headaches and facial pain may be helped by using the following aromahealthtexas blends:

Decongest - aroma blends that heal massage a few drops around the nose, checks, temples and forehead 2 to 3 times daily. 

Sinus Spray can be sprayed around the nose avoiding the eyes, throughout the day.    

Allergy may be applied or sprayed topically twice daily. 

Environmental is a blend to aid those affected by pollutants and chemical sensitivities.  Petite fleur aromas are complimentary to be used with prescriptions and OTC drugs or alone.

Environmental toxins critically affect brain chemistry.  Reactions include severe allergic symptoms, cold and flu symptoms, muscle andjoint pain, headaches, sinusitis, hives, rashes, eczema, gastrointestinal and genitourinary disorders, thyroid, neurological and fertility problems.

Petroleum based products cause nervous and immune system attrition, impairing DNA expression, accelerating gene loss and weakening detoxification process.  Household and lawn care products accelerate aging of the immune and nervous system.  These chemicals are not tested by the government.  Chemical companies test their products and send the results to the EPA.  Health risks reported in medical journals include genetic damage, cancer, neurotoxins, danger to children, unborn children and marine life.

Organically grown aromatic products can begin to change these reactions in 1/100th of a second. Continuous daily use improves metabolic and immune responses and lessens.
