I have a number of available interview slots so let me know if you would like to check it out. It's quite easy. Over the computer we use special software to chat about life with MS. There are about 20 questions. Then, when we are done, a nice person comes in and edits all the bleeps and blunders out and voila! A beautiful, informational video of you sharing your thoughts on MS is created and will be available for anyone wanting more information about this illness.

If Interested or would like more information, please email me at thegirlwithms@gmail.com with "interview" in subject matter. Or click here to fill out a contact form.

Essential Oils and Multiple Sclerosis

What is multiple sclerosis and how might essential oils help?

(I am not a medical professional - these are just my thoughts and those of others)

According to the National MS Society:

"Multiple sclerosis (MS) involves an immune-mediated process in which an abnormal response of the body’s immune system is directed against the central nervous system (CNS), which is made up of the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. The exact antigen — or target that the immune cells are sensitized to attack — remains unknown, which is why MS is considered by many experts to be "immune-mediated" rather than "autoimmune."

And we know MS as being a royal pain the rear. So how can we learn to live just a bit better? Because sometimes it just takes a "bit"!

With this in mind, it's time to try some natural solutions that might help calm the autoimmune response and find overall health in the body, mind and soul. Time for essential oils!

I have had positive results using several oils for everything from sleep, nervousness to clearer breathing and wanting more energy. I have found better living through essential oils. Quality of essential oils is a must. The highest quality insures the safest and most effective way to use essential oils whether it's ingested or used topically.

The beginning is always the toughest. Taking that first step. Well, I did and I am not looking back! Essential oils are helping me manage my MS so I can live better. There is a lot to learn about which oils might help you for which MS symptom.

Time to change your medicine cabinet!

I am excited about continuing to change my medicine cabinet! Essential oils can help with many issues, medical, mental or physical. I started with the Oil solution for allergies, asthma and it sold me!
One inhale and ten times better.

In learning more about essential oils and multiple sclerosis I came across the following protocol for possibly helping with MS:

I found the following protocol on the internet years ago. This is NOT my protocol but I followed it for a bit (7 days) and found it helpful. Every time

Please remember: I am not a medical professional and do not make recommendations just suggestions that you might want to check out further. Sometimes you got to try everything to see what works for you.

a possible MS protocol with essential oils -

While each person presents a unique health situation, I recommend that protocol for each is customized to match their healing requirements. A general rule of thumb for managing multiple sclerosis is to reduce inflammation, sooth nerves, provide a calm energy, provide comfort to aches and pains, and to enliven those numb and tingling areas. With this in mind here is a general Protocol for multiple sclerosis using essential oils, adapted from a variety of sites and personal experience:

Essential Oil Users Have Found The Following To Assist In Multiple Sclerosis Support:

The Life Long Vitality supplements are suggested by some.

Initial Cleanse

Depending upon health of patient, start with the GX Assist and the PB Assist in a protocol of 10 days GX, 5 days PB, wait 10 days and repeat, wait 10 days and repeat. Do this quarterly. This is a cleanse specifically designed for auto immune disease.

Drop 2-3 drops of Frankincense under the tongue 4 times a day for two weeks.

Ongoing Support:

Continue the Lifelong Vitality supplements

Morning: Topically apply Peppermint to the bottoms of the feet, take internally, and diffuse.

During the day: add 1-3 drops of Lemon to each glass of water. (drink lots of water-use glass containers ONLY) and ONLY if FRESh lemon is not available (fresh is always best!)

Evening: Topically apply Frankincense to the bottoms of the feet, take internally, and diffuse.

Make a mix of following MS recipe:

· 10 drops Helichrysum

· 10 drops Frankincense

· 10 drops Sandalwood

· 5 drops Basil

· 3 drops Peppermint

Rub 1-3 drops of the MS recipe on brain reflexology points, the forehead, temples and mastoids (just behind the ears) and massage 6-8 drops of oil blend from the base of the skull down the spine

-I personally do not take essential oils internally. Everyone is different. Do what you want and feel best for you. Diffusing and topical application seem to work just great for m!

Additional Ideas:

Other ideas (Listen to your body, it will tell you what you need). Consider the following for their benefits:

· If a flare up or an exacerbation occurs layer (topically apply one oil after another with 1 to 5 minutes between) Peppermint and Frankincense on the bottoms of the feet and/or the affected area.

· If discouraged diffuse Citrus Bliss or other uplifting oils.

· To prevent picking up a infectious disease (that might trigger an exacerbation) diffuse OnGuard or Purify regularly. Rub OnGuard on the feet nightly.

============

Also consider these oils in supplemental ways:

· Helichrysum – strong regenerative properties for nerve tissue

· Sandalwood – similar properties as frankincense (antibacterial, antiviral, soothing)

· Clove – one of the strongest agents to kill pathogens

I had never heard of helichrysum before. (I have helichrysum on order!) it's part of the daisy family, asteraceae. I will check it out more on this oil. Looks promising!

There are many benefits to using essential oils for holistic health and wellness. Any time we can find alternative ways to reach a healthy life, it's worth it!

It's time to be aware of what we put in our bodies. And while essential oils are not medicine nor will they "heal" your MS, there are oils that can help some of the symptoms seem not so bad.

Other favorites of mine:

Leg cramps: lemon grass, basil
Sleeping issues: lavender, cedar wood, serenity
Nerve pain: aroma touch, past tense.

What are some of your favorites?

Creating Your Own Health - Supplements for MS

Time to take charge with your supplements and say #takethatMS!

We talk a bit about diet and nutrition but it is time to share some information about supplements for multiple sclerosis. There are a variety of ones to check out if you have MS, and to discuss with your neurologist about the possibility of taking them or not.

The following supplements all have scientific research showing that they have the potential to be helpful for MS patients. This does not mean you should go out and take all of them at once, but definitely do your research and talk with your medical research.

These articles are all fact-checked, substantiated, written by me and posted on Healthline.com.
