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 any asthma attack under control by applying Roman Chamomile 10% dilution in a quickly penetrating Carrier Oil (jojoba, hazelnut) on chest and back.

Long term care: Use Amrita's Allergy Easer in a diffuser. Careful with the nebulizer, it can easily be overdone. This may often prevent an attack from happening.

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, the native 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.,

In this situation 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.
