Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis IPF

Condition:

Definition:

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a condition in which the lungs become scarred and breathing becomes increasingly difficult.

It’s not clear what causes it, but it usually affects people around 70-75 years of age and is rare in people under 50.

Several treatments can help reduce the rate at which IPF gets worse, but there’s currently no treatment that can stop or reverse the scarring of the lungs.

Symptom:

The symptoms of IPF tend to develop gradually and get slowly worse over time.

Symptoms can include:

-shortness of breath
-a persistent dry cough
-tiredness
-loss of appetite and weight loss
-rounded and swollen fingertips (clubbed fingers)

Many people ignore their breathlessness at first and blame it on getting old or being out of shape. But eventually, even light activity such as getting dressed can cause shortness of breath.

Description:

Protocol:

Topically apply up to 30 drops of the Chest Blend 50ml 100ml over the lungs, chest and back, twice a day.

Diffuse (see below) during the day, Breath Support and Cedarwood 5ml 10ml.

Diffuse throughout the night, while sleeping, Cedarwood 5ml 10ml and Covid Steam 5ml 10ml.

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.
