In
addition to removing the source of mold in your home, it is helpful to
diffuse essential oils (which accesses the same olfactory neuronal
pathway as mold) to clean the air and balance the body. This is also
helpful for mitigating mold outside of the home, like in schools or the
workplace. The following blends are some of my favorites for
mitigating mold and fungus.
Mold
is known to contribute to inflammatory health conditions, including
learning disabilities, gastrointestinal disturbances, heart problems,
Cancer, Lyme Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, problems with
thyroid regulation (both excess and deficiency), and several autoimmune
diseases.
Mold
is a bit of a silent killer, hiding in homes, office buildings, hotel
room and schools, causing many of us to feel awful, often without really
knowing why.
In
fact, as many as 30% of us may have a genetic susceptibility to bio
toxins like mold, where the immune system fails to recognize the mold as
a toxin and cannot flag the toxins or make anti-bodies necessary to
clear the mold from the body. This allows the toxins to build up in the
body unchecked with symptoms that build with each exposure.
It’s
interesting that the olfactory system, the neural pathway for the sense
of smell, directly communicates with your brain via your olfactory
neurons. This can be a good thing in the case of essential oils, or pose
a health challenge in the case of toxins that you might inhale or
smell, like mold.
Don’t
despair, because just as toxins like mold can cross directly into your
brain through the olfactory neurons, so can essential oils.
Essential Oils are a great tool to use to help negate the negative effects of mold by cleaning the mold, cleaning the air and supporting the body’s organs of detoxification.
