Ask Dr. Streicher: Asthma and Recovery

Kimber W. Asks:

My four year old nephew has been having asthma attacks. What do you recommend?

Thanks,

Kimber W.

Dr. Streicher Answers:

Dear Kimber,

There is acute care and long term asthma management.

You will be able to get an asthma attack under control quickly by applying Roman Chamomile Essential Oil at 10% dilution in a fast penetrating Carrier Oil (Jojoba or Hazelnut) on their chest and back.

Use Amrita's Allergy Easer in a diffuser for preventative asthma care. Be careful using the nebulizer as it can easily be overdone and could trigger a reaction. Diffusing Amrita's Allergy Easer Synergy Blend may prevent asthma attacks from happening in the first place.

Kind Regards,

Christoph Streicher, Ph.D.

Mary Asks:

I need to purchase spearmint and lemongrass oils for my bees. I read the oil must be food grade...is Amrita considered safe for them?

Thanks,

Mary

Dr. Streicher Answers:

Dear Mary,

Absolutely. Amrita's Lemongrass is even certified organic. For the Spearmint you have the choice between Scotch and Native. Both are food grade while Native Spearmint is also certified organic.

Best Wishes,

Christoph Streicher, Ph.D.

S.C. Asks:

My sister fractured her wrist and her forearm was in a cast for one month. Her upper and forearm is now stiff. She will be starting physio to loosen her joints. What essential oils will her her restore her arm and hand function?

Thanks,

S.C.

Dr. Streicher Answers:

Dear S.C.,

For recovery after a surgery or other difficulties on the body, it is best to alternate between Body Regenerator and Unbounded Body Tri-Essences. Besides the Essential Oil blends, they contain herbal extracts and flower essences suitable for this situation. You can upgrade the Body Regenerator by adding an additional 2% Helichrysum and the Unbounded Body by adding an additional 2% Roman Chamomile.

Kind Regards,

Christoph Streicher, Ph.D.
