Review of recent literature suggests that essential oils appear to be critical in successful treatment of PANDAS<\/strong> (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders associated with Streptococcus-A infections). Essential oils dissolve the biofilm which coats resistant bacteria<\/strong>, including Streptoccus pyogenes<\/em> (Strep-A) and resistant staph bacteria (MRSA), whereas antibiotics do not penetrate the biofilm. Essential oils also cross the blood-brain barrier<\/strong>, thereby getting to<\/strong> all parts of the brain including the basal ganglia<\/strong>. The basal ganglia is the area of the brain most affected by PANDAS and other auto-immune syndromes. Essential oils which are successful in breaking down the protective biofilm include Oregano<\/a>, Melaleuca<\/em> (Tea Tree<\/a>, Niaouli<\/a>, Cajeput<\/a>), Eucalyptus<\/a>, Peppermint<\/a>, Rosemary<\/a>, Thyme<\/a>, and Power of Protection<\/a><\/em> <\/a>aka Thieves<\/em> essential oil blend. Use of these oils may therefore be necessary in clearing up the source of recurring and dangerous auto-immune disorders, including PANDAS. The most effective applications appear to be soles of the feet, anointing back of neck and spine, gelatin capsule protocols, air diffuser, and water treatments<\/strong>. Because of the phenols in these essential oils, dilution in olive oil or other nutritious carrier oil is important for applications on the body and in gelatin capsules. Water & air diffuser treatments are automatically diluted in the water and air. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PANDAS syndrome,\ndiscovered in the 1990s, affects children between ages 4 and teenage who have\nrepeatedly become infected with Streptoccus\npyogenes<\/em>, and is characterized by extreme physical and psychological\ndifficulties including facial tics and other uncontrolled movements, panic, obsessive-compulsive\nbehaviors, screaming, writhing, hypersensitivity, inability to focus, and\nnightmares. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strep throat\nfrequently requires antibiotic treatment, which results in fungal overgrowth;\nand recurring infections can deplete the immune system. Strep bacteria mask\nthemselves, hiding from and confusing antibodies which may overproduce and get\nstuck in the brain, causing inflammation. It is thought that the inflammation\nof the basal ganglia of the brain may cause the neuropsychiatric symptoms of PANDAS\n\u2013 similar to an encephalitis of the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the\nlast few years IVIG (intravenous) treatment of glamaglobulin has been\nsuccessful in alleviating the symptoms temporarily, with additional IVIG\ntreatments every few months helping these children to function normally. An\nattack of symptoms can be sufficiently severe that the children are in extreme\ndistress, unable to carry out normal functions and attend school. The recurring\nepisodes of debility can continue for years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parent\nreports indicate that essential oils are helping to abate their children\u2019s\nsymptoms and avoid episodes, sometimes for years. These anecdotal reports offer\ninteresting possibilities for natural, noninvasive, palliative and immune-building\ntreatment of PANDAS. with essential oils and essential oil blends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essential\noils have calming, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antimicrobial, antifungal,\nantiviral, antispasmodic and immune-building characteristics which are important\nin fighting autoimmune disorders and reducing their symptoms. In addition to\nattacking the source by breaking down biofilm coatings protecting the bacteria,\nessential oils also help to abate symptoms by calming the nervous system,\nfighting inflammation, detoxifying, nourishing & healing the brain and\nother organs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At client request, we have created categories of essential oils<\/a> and essential oil blends<\/a> frequently utilized in the treatment of PANDAS<\/a>. We have chosen calming, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic and immune-building essential oils<\/a><\/strong> <\/a>and therapeutic blends<\/a><\/strong> which calm and energize the Central Nervous System and break down the biofilm to fight resistant Strep-A. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
