Nervous Insomnia

January 3, 2012

Nervous Insomnia RX
Sleep chemistry is cyclic and is readily disrupted by events or medical conditions like nervousness, and sleep apnea, which is often associated with obesity. Various essential oils can act as astringents and decongestants that may shrink the mucosal membranes to clear air passages while relaxing the nervous system for a restful sleep.
More on sleep apena and insomnia in the next post.

Essential oils can have specific stimulating or inhibiting effects on the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems of the human body that together form the autonomic nervous system. Certain other oils calm and relax the nervous system. Rose oil … Continue Reading

Your Body Craves Sleep

January 2, 2012

So it has been a busy transition from Thanksgiving into the New Year.
Probably been burning the candle at both ends to speak.
Your body is craving sleep. Need to catch up on your sleep.

What is the best aid to sleep?

Insomnia is an individual experience just as any remedy or treatment by
prescription is an experience on the individual. Testing different essential oils
in different fashions may provide a natural solution to obtain better sleep. At
bedtime less essential aroma is better. A strong concentration of any aroma
can be stimulating, just as loud music played when attempting to go to sleep
can keep you … Continue Reading

The second opinion book. Give Wellness a chance.

The Sweet Smell of Success by James Tad Geiger MD

Books on wellness and aromatherapy have been written from many points of view. The Sweet Smell of Success takes a very unique approach to both of these topics. As an acute care anesthesiologist, I believe clinical aromatherapy should be integrated with conventional allopathic Western Medicine in the Wellness Revolution of the twenty-first century.

Aromatherapy with essential oils is one entity of the vast array of … Continue Reading

Think your Stressed?

March 28, 2009

Stressed Molecular Membranes
The uptake and distribution mechanism of anesthetics is
known (Eger, 1998). The previously accepted theory ascribed to the action of
anesthetics, namely “molecular membrane stress” applied to the bi-lipid layer
of cell membranes (Ueda, 2001), could conceivably be applied to explain some
of the actions of essential oils at the cellular membrane level. A predominantly
accepted theory for the contiguous mechanisms of consciousness and
anesthesia results from the weak quantum interactions of van der Waals and
London forces acting in hydrophobic pockets of proteins that link synaptically
integrated dendrites of brains cells. Many essential oils and many anesthetic
molecules are aliphatic hydrocarbon chains (Hameroff, 2006). Some essential
oils … Continue Reading
