Toxic Mold vs. Essential Oils
by Dr. Ed Close
Do you experience chronic colds or ear infections? Maybe someone in your family is suffering from unexplained flu-like symptoms? Or perhaps a co-worker can’t explain the general fatigue and dizziness that seem to be constant companions. Surprising to most Americans is that these and other symptoms are a result of a lurking, behind-the-scenes culprit—mold.
The truth is that mold can be found in almost every part of our homes—our kitchens, bedrooms, showers, bathrooms, refrigerators, attics, basements, carpets, pools, backyards, sheds, storage spaces—everywhere. Indoor condtions are especially hospitable to mold, as even the most neat and clean home, with no visible sign of mold, may still hide super-colonies of mold in ductwork, basements, attics and crawl spaces, under floors and behind walls. Needless to say, mold is also found in our offices, hotels, schools, libraries, and even in hospital clean rooms.
Fortunately, there is an effective and safe antifungal solution to mold—essential oils. Used for centuries for a variety of health complaints, high-quality, therapeutic-grade essential oils have recently been rediscovered as an effective way to both eliminate mold and support the body against chronic mold exposure.
