Huntington's Disease

Condition:

Definition:

Huntington’s disease is an inherited condition that damages certain nerve cells in the brain.

This brain damage gets progressively worse over time and can affect movement, cognition (perception, awareness, thinking, judgement) and behaviour.

Huntington’s disease was originally called Huntington’s chorea (“chorea” is the Greek word for dancing). This is because the involuntary movements associated with the condition can look like jerky dancing. However, “disease” is now the preferred term, because the condition involves a lot more than just abnormal movements.

Huntington’s disease is caused by an inherited faulty gene. However, in around 3% of cases, there’s no family history of the condition, normally because the parents died at a young age.

Symptom:

Early features can include personality changes, mood swings, fidgety movements, irritability and altered behaviour, although these are often overlooked and attributed to something else.

Description:

Protocol:

Diffuse (see below) both Brain Blend and Trauma Blend, throughout the night while sleeping.

Diffuse Cedarwood 5ml 10ml and Frankincense 5ml 10ml throughout the day, while working or studying.

Topically apply over the spine, 15 drops each; Nerve Restore Blend and Cell Rejuvenation.

When applying more than one oil to the same area, spread it out over the course of the day or wait 10 minutes in between.

Diffuse 2-3 drops (unless otherwise stated) of each oil; maximum 10-12 drops in total, at a time.

NOTE: Always use an ultrasonic diffuser (with a diffusing duration of at least 8 hours), to diffuse pure essential oils. Do not use a humidifier, air purifier, or a candle, as they only smell good and have no further effect. An electric, ultrasonic, diffuser dispenses essential oils into the air through vibrations of a plate which causes ultrasonic waves, creating microscopic particles of oils that disperse into the air. It, therefore, breaks open the essential oil volatile molecules, to have a medicinal effect in that it can penetrate through the blood-brain barrier. It is always good to use a diffuser at night while you are sleeping.
