Guest guest Posted August 16, 1999 Report Share Posted August 16, 1999 I want to underscore an important distinction that has been made recently between sensory integration symptoms and OCD symptoms. CBT will not be effective (and actually can be extremely counterproductive as some parents have noted) for SI problems as they are rooted in the sensations on the skin and how they are then communicated to the brain as painful (in the case of tactile sensitivity) in these cases treatment by an OT usually involves a skin " brushing " home plan where by using different texture brushes several times a day you teach the nerve endings to get used to touch. Unlike CBT where we are working usually working on children's beliefs, interpretations or meanings they are placing on an event, in SI work it is the body that is treated and then the child's cognition or experience of situations changes as the body begins to respond more adaptively to input from the environment. It is great that this issue is getting so much airtime on this parent's list as I think that SI is still not widely considered by psychologists or psychiatrists when evaluating a child's symptoms, but is something that is fairly common. Treatment can be very successful for children (and even adults!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2000 Report Share Posted March 26, 2000 Hi. I'm curious I'm not a soapmaker but what would be some problems that people might complain of from soaps or even lotions? That they caused a reaction? Is the testing more traditionally done for lotions & the like -- products with water more than balms? There are certain products which concern me more than others(face products, eye area, etc.). I noticed that a " smaller " commercial company like Burt's Bees doesn't really use conventional preservatives (they use vit e, gse and maybe roe). I've always wondered what their response would be to the preservative issue. Regarding testing, what are the main factors that a lab would test for? I know someone mentioned bacteria... ? & ? Thanks for all this great info about QA and QC.

Several friends and family members have found some relief using a blend of helichrysum italicuum, black pepper oil, and lavandin, in a base of Calophyllum Innophyllum ( a thick green expressed oil produced in madagascar) you might try switching the black pepper for ginger root CO2...I'm not sure which would work better. The helichrysum is really the key in this, and the calophyllum. We do a 'sore muscle blend' that uses the gingerroot and the lavandin (with another oil or two) in a different base, and, altho it's terrific for sore muscles, it doesn't seem to touch joint pain the way the heli does...and the calophyllum is well worth the investment. It's a powerful rubifactant. you might want to try adding some emu oil to the calophyllum base, as well. Your source for superb Essential Oils, Aromatherapy Accessories, Information, Books and more!

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2001 Report Share Posted May 9, 2001 Hi Everyone: Just a note to let everyone out there know that there is a GREAT book out there! It's called THE OUT OF SYNC CHILD. This book is fantastic for the parents that have a child with Sensory Intergration Disorder/Dysfunction! It's so informative and it's good for a refrence book as well. It' clears up alot of questions also. I advise anyone with a child who has SI to get the book, it's well worth it.
