Tracheoesophageal Fistula

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 12:32:00 +1100

Hi there, my name is Julie Nelson. I have been a practising Aromatherapist for over 15 years and lectured on Aromatherapy for 13years. I have worked with chronic lung disease with my daughter during that time and have had some very good results. It is important to re-iterate that when treating any condition the treatment is specific to the individual and I recommend you consult with a qualified practitioner before using any essential oils.

Red or Sweet Myrtle, German Chamomile, Melaleuca ericafolia, Mandarin were my most used oils on Amy from 5yr’s to 10 yr’s. In the practitoner’s guide to Aromatherapy red or wild Thyme and Peppermint combined are recommended for deep lung infections, I have used this combination with Ravensara, Lemon Myrtle and Eucalptus smithii.

Applications - topically applying the oils front and back of torso by gentle massage. These treatments were used as a complementary treatment along with orthodox medication. Never take anyone off medication without a doctor’s consent. My daughter would not be alive today if it were not for modern medicine and I am a strong supporter of both complimentary and orthodox medicines, each has its place.

My treatments varied with age and what she was presenting. Amy has a chronic and life threatening condition. She is a T.O.F = tracheoesophageal fistula. She was the youngest and smallest TOF baby born in 1988 here in Australia. Her associated condition is chronic lung disease, similar to CF however is not diagnosed as that.
She has had recurring lung infections and countless hospitalisations for chronic lung infections, pneumonia, bronchitis and also ‘fundoplication’ surgery for reflux which specialists believe may still occur and is one of the causes for her lung infections. Amy has also at the age of 13 had a posterior spinal fusion due to the original surgery for her TOF repair. Initially the surgical procedure was very invasive going in through the front rib cage area and through the back under her right shoulder blade. To do this they cut 2 of her ribs which fused together creating a major problem. This was common for TOF children back then. Today keyhole surgery is done. Amy’s right rib cage did not grow to the same capacity as her left, this caused curvature of her spine. As she grew she had a 22 degree curve in her spine, from the age of 12 to 13 her curvature went to 41 degrees as she had started puberty. She was becoming very uncomfortable, in pain and suffered headaches every day. This is why she chose to have the spinal infusion. Her back surgery was a success and more than they had expected and they were astounded at her recovery!
There is of course a huge history so will keep this short, I wanted you to have some history to understand. One of my goals is write a case study of it this year.
Myrtle, Mandarin and German Chamomile where my most used for her chronic wet lung condition. These oils were calming and supported her immune between the ages of 5-8yrs. These oils also helped with her digestive problems as well. She associated feeling better with these particular oils and would often ask for them when she was not feeling well. They were applied by hand and foot massages in her acute stage (once she was out of danger) and chest rubs thereafter. Chamomile was used frequently in bathing. The affect was very clear, especially combined with massage.
We always used and still do use Sweet or Red myrtle because of its calming properties as Eucalyptus globulus and radiata are too stimulating to the bronchi.
Thyme and Peppermint for pseudomonas infection in her lungs. This bacterium thrives and colonises in wet moist lung conditions and is common in CF and chronic lung patients.

Frankincense combined with German chamomile as an anti-inflammatory and Clary sage for slowing down the breath Neroli and Rose for emotional support for chronic anxiety and depression.
Sandalwood and Myrrh, Tea tree, Melaleuca ericafolia, Eucalyptus smithii, Ravensara, Manuka are other oils that have been integrated in to her treatments.
All of her treatments have been in conjunction with orthodox medicine and various another Natural remedies.

TOF Emedicine

After posting this today I have decided to do a videozine on this subject. I have long wanted to write about it in depth, however find that a bit daunting, so I will be talking about our experiences. Keep you eyes open for my TOF videos.

Aromatherapy for Self Love~

Fri, 27 Jan 2012 12:46:05 +1100

Self love is a subject that has been written about many times over and I have no doubt it will continue to be.

Self love plays one of the most important roles in our lives. When we love ourselves, accept ourselves for who and what we are, we can conquer the world!

Do you constantly beat yourself up, put yourself down, feel guilty for no reason, Blame yourself for things going wrong?

If you answered yes, then it is time to stop and begin your new life of self love now!

I hear you saying, but it isn’t that easy… not buts about it.

It is time to focus on YOU, cherish YOU, Nurture YOU, be kind to YOU, love YOU.

Negative chatter is one of the culprits~when you find yourself doing this, stop and ask yourself ~ How can I turn this into a positive?

From every negative experience we have, there will always be something to gain and learn. look for that, it is there.

Now I know that this can be a challenge. However it is not impossible. I know because I practice this and have been doing so for 23 years. I began to awaken to my full potential when my daughter was born with a life threatening congenital condition. I know she came to me because I could handle it. She is my greatest gift in life and my greatest teacher. I am on my journey, living my purpose because of the experiences I have lived. I have had many challenges which I embraced and learnt from through Amy and for the better indeed.

I highly recommend this book ‘Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway’ by Susan Jeffers.

This book was passed onto me when I was beginning a new chapter in my life. It was life changing for me, I read this book, and would pick it up randomly and yes every time I did that I would open it up to the perfect page, the one I needed to read at that time. I love how the Universe works!

Aromatherapy and essential oils have played an enormous role in both of our lives emotionally, physically and spiritually. I encourage you to work with essential oils to give you support, strength and the will to carry on and move forward.

Here are some examples of essential oils and what they represent~

Sandalwood and Frankincense are for letting go of obsessive thoughts

Cedarwood gives us the will to hold firm

Basil, Rosemary and Peppermint are very strengthening to the mind, Peppermint calms a racing mind

Cypress assists and supports us with transition and transformation, changing old patterns

Juniper is purifying and cleansing, opening us up to expanding and growing

Rose, Neroli, Jasmine, Ylang Ylang, Melissa represent LOVE, they are strongly associated to the heart chakra, they work with us to heal our heart

Geranium, Bergamot and Grapefruit are balancing, liberating, supportive and uplifting

Vetiver, Patchouli, Ginger and Black Pepper are very grounding and connecting

Cinnamon, Cardamom and Clove give the gift of encouragement

Lavender, Chamomile, Mandarin and Sweet Orange are nurturing, gentle and happy oils

Everlasting assists with self acceptance, patience and perserverence

What I have given you here is simply the beginning to support you on your journey to self love.

Here is an exercise to help get you started~

Choose your favourite essential oil, create a sacred space for YOU, have a journal, a pen and get comfy.

Take a moment to ground and connect with yourself by placing your feet firmly on the ground and breathe in and out slowly, deeply purposefully allowing your mind to relax… take your essential oil and gently inhale it, feel it flowing down into your body filling every part of your being… stay with this for a moment take note of how you feel, what you feel .. is your body relaxing? Are you smiling? have any happy memories been evoked?

Now write down your experience in detail.

Each week choose a different essential oil and do this exercise. What you are doing is creating a tool, a tool that you can refer to time and time again to ground and connect, uplift your emotions, find support and so on.

Enjoy the process and enjoy YOU. I wish you love always.

Each week I feature an essential oil to do this exercise Join me each Tuesday on Aromatique Essentials Facebook page and experience the wonderful world of Aromatherapy and begin to take charge of YOU !

Are Essential Oils Safe to Use During Pregnancy?

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 19:52:32 +1100

Aromatherapy and Pregnancy

Are essential oils safe to use during pregnancy?

The answer is yes. In saying this It is essential that you have the guidance of a fully qualified Aromatherapist, however you may find there are some Aromatherapists may disagree. If you would like to use essential oils I highly recommend you do your research and discuss your options with a Fully qualified Aromatherapist. There is very little known about the use of essential oils during pregnancy and here I will focus on my personal experiences and recommendations.

What you should take into consideration ~

Your Health, we are all individuals and most likely have different needs

Whether you have had any previous problems during pregnancy

What stage you are in

Essential oil burner:

Most essential oils can be used in the burner during pregnancy. Because heat is used they evaporate into the air and therefore the amount that may get into your blood stream is very minimal if any at all. Using the burner is excellent for uplifting your emotions, assisting with mood change, evoking calm and peacefulness, energising or relaxing.

Aromatherapy full body massage is not recommended in the first trimester, neck and shoulder, hands and face can be massaged. However there are other topical applications that can be used.

Benefits of Aromatherapy massage ~

relaxing, calming, promotes blood flow, fluid retention, muscular aches and pains, depression, stress and anxiety, balance hormones post birth, healing, bonding with baby and more…

Dilution for a topical application 1.25% or less

100ml of carrier = 25drops of essential oil in total

50ml of carrier = 12 drops of essential oil in total

25ml of carrier = 6 drops of essential oil in total

Bathing and foot baths - You may choose to use a dispersant to assist in the essential oil’s dispersing into the water, so that there are no large globules floating, that may potentially cause a reaction. Having a reaction is highly unlikely and will depend on your skin condition and general health.

Benefits of Bathing:

Relaxing, muscular aches and pain, lower back pain, hemorrhoids, insomnia, urinary tract infections, fluid retention, dry skin, would healing, pain management,

Benefits of Foot Baths:

Headaches, varicose veins, relaxing, urinary tract infections, fluid retention, swelling of the feet and legs, leg aches and pain

Dry or steam inhalations which method you choose will depend on what essential oils you are using and what you are treating.Inhalations are fast acting as they are a direct link to the brain.

Benefits of Inhalations:

Cold and flu symptoms, headaches, sinusitis, headaches, mood swings, depression, fear, stress, anxiety, morning sickness, loss of appetite, insomnia, tiredness

Topical application can be used for specific treatments for example varicose veins, muscular aches and pain, lower back pain, heart burn, during labour, post birth, episiotomy, wound healing, surgical stitches, stretch marks

Compresses can also be used for headaches, pain management, muscle spasm

Room sprays are also a lovely and easy way to use Essential oils to promote energy, relaxation, uplift your emotions

Citrus essential oils are the safest to use right through your pregnancy for various symptoms. To understand and find out more information it is recommended you consult with a fully qualified Aromatherapist.

Some essential oils are to be avoided during your pregnancy especially in the first tri-mester and some should not be used until the last stages, during birth.

Essential oil properties to consider or be aware of:

Emmenogogue - assists in regulating the menstrual cycle, not recommended during pregnancy.

Parturient - encourages labour.

Galactogogue - promotes milk production.

Anti-emetic - helps to reduce nausea.

Aromatherapy to Balance the Mind, Mood and Emotions

Thu, 19 Jan 2012 12:31:00 +1100

Balance is a state of being, not a fine line to walk.

You create what ever you focus on, be aware of your thoughts, be aware of all possibilities, open yourself to be in Balance.

Have fun, see the funny side of life, take with you on your journey laughter, create lightness of being and a happy heart.

Be true to yourself, respond rather than react, breathe deeply taking in all in that is good and release all that is not.

Surrender, feel your emotions and let them go.

Remember your life has purpose, acknowledge your dreams and take action!

Awaken to your potential, awaken to your love, awaken to yourself

You are Balance…

Hello, can you tell me which post you are referring to, so that I can answer your question correctly :)

If you are referring to my ‘Ethereal’ range, each blend is named in the Elvish language and represents a positive attribute that one would like to experience e.g. Alassea represents happiness, Beriardwen represents strength and protection and so on.

I have an affinity with the Fae folk. I hope this answers your question and if not please let me know :)
