Re: Lavender Esssential Oil, excellent results

----- On Behalf Of Branislav

I just wanted to report very good results that I had with the Lavender

Essential Oil as far as killing mold is concerned. To my surprise, it

turned out to be a very powerful antifungal, and in my experience it

puts to shame other much more touted anti-mold herbal and chemical

compounds. >>>>>>>>>

thanks for sharing. I also use a lot of essential oils. Would you mind

sharing the type, botanical/Latin name of the EO of lavender you used,

percentage dilution and type of carrier you used.

This is the info for this oil:

Pure Essential OilLavender

Source: steam distilled, from flowering tips and stem.

Latin name: Lavandula angustifolia

Origin: France

I don't use carrier oil, just dilute it in water or (rarely) apply

undiluted.

It was purchased from a British company http://www.kobashi.com that I

highly recommend.>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Thanks for responding. Much appreciated. I love lavender also and at times

will put mine into a diffuser in my office or bedroom.

Just curious though at what dilution rate does it still kill molds? Since

10ml cost around $5.77 could get expensive killing massive amounts of mold.

Care to share how many drops per ounce, etc.

great source of essential oils.

i'm not sure how this is being used--in a room? i put drops of

lavender where bedding is stored, and sometimes leave the bottle open

in a closet for 24 hours. just for freshness.

Rosie,

I don't know about any scientific data that I could cite now. There

probably is some (try to google for it) but it all depends on the type

of mold, concentration etc.

What I usually do is to put 4-10 drops into a glass of water or a

plastic bottle (1/4 litre) of mineral water, dilute it with tap water,

shake it well and sprinkle onto my clothes, furniture, apply with

hands to clothes that's still on my body if I was recently hit by mold

(so that I don't have to change just because of a mold hit). One can

also use plastic garden sprayers for this purpose, they should be very

cheap.

One 10ml bottle can go a long way if used in this way, only for

occasional use when treating mild to moderate mold hits acquired at

public places etc.

Mind you, this technique doesn't always work, but it worked better

than with the other stuff I mentioned in the original post.

If you have A LOT of mold, I would not recommend Lavender or anything

like this because I don't think it can really help. A lot of mold

requires some more drastic measures, and I'd be more inclined to

advise either total avoidance or removing the contaminated objects.

I belong to that group of people (I am sure there are at least a few

on this board; I know is one of them) who can literally feel a

mold hit in just a few seconds. It doesn't take me hours or days to

conclude I've been hit by mold. Likewise, I can feel almost instantly

whether mold has been removed from my skin, clothes, objects or

whatever.. in just a few minutes at most.

Therefore, when I use something like this (and I used quite a bit of

other substances... the list is very long), I always know the results

in just a few minutes at most, usually in only a few seconds and

either increase the amount of the substance or, if I conclude it's not

working, I stop using it altogether.

(The text below is slightly off-topic:)

I still have 3 chairs that got cross-contaminated last autumn from one

super-contaminated chair, and they have been poisoning me ever since.

Largely due to their presence in my house this Winter was one of the

worst I ever had. I tried to decontamitate them with everything

imaginable. Here's a list of substances I know I used on them:

bleach

borax

sea salt

white vinegar

grapefruit seed extract

tea tree oil (melaleuca alternifolia)

oregano oil (origanum vulgare)

garlic juice

various detergents

....and guess what? NOTHING worked. These chairs are still happily

producing some horrible mold that I can't even get close to them or

I'd get terrible health problems. My bet is on Stachy, but I can't be

sure unless I do mold testing which is not an easy thing to do in my

country.

For stuff like this, where I suppose mycotoxins have already been

produced in great amount (the original chair got cross-contaminated in

2002), none of the mold-killing agents will do the trick. I didn't try

Lavender on them because I don't think it would make any difference.

It will be a real ordeal for me to gain courage and attempt to throw

them out of my house... which is also a problem because I don't want

anyone to get near them or use them and thus get the same illness.

They are such a health hazard that they ought to be treated in the

same manner as nuclear waste, but I simply cannot explain that fact to

anyone around me. In the end, I'll be forced to put on some trainer

clothes, and take them one by one some 4 km away from my house and

dump them in a little populated part of town. And it's freezing cold

outside and nobody is remotely interested in helping me. This mold

problem would be funny if it were not so tragic!

Take a look at my posts from yesterday, I gave the URL of the company

I ordered from. That's the only place I bought oils so far so I can

vouch for them, since their oils are pure, inexpensive and they ship

pretty fast. But I guess other companies mentioned here by other

posters are equally good.

does anybody know how long it is, after exposure to the mycotoxins, before

we get CNS symptoms?

My favorite use for 100% pure essential oil of lavender is to use it on

burns. It's never failed us. This is the only time I would ever use an

essential oil straight (undiluted) topically.

I always keep a small container of lavender essential oil in my kitchen just

in case.

Items that I could not remove mycotoxins from in any other way(I

tried all the things you mentioned) I remediated with vulpex soap

diluted in denatured alchohol, or soak in vulpex and water seems to

work also. I do not think it has anything to do with killing mold-

but de-contaminating -removing- the mycotoxins- which are extremely

sticky- and easily cross-contaminate,

Yuck, sticky, that is what my clothes felt like when I took all out

of one closet. I wondered about that and my hands got coated. I bet

the sticky mycotoxins do not wash out of things that easy. I forgot

you mentioned vulpex soad and will do a google on that b/c I've never

heard of this before. I think I needed goggles on and a body suit

while taking clothes etc. and cleaning.

Sorry Carondeen,

but in My Experance it's not the mold that take my legs from under me but the

Toxin in the Air-Condition maybe that's what happen to you. in some places it's

both Toxin and Mold, new buildings are the worse are if the AC is replaced in a

moldy place then you have dubble trouble sad but true all one need do is

investigate please don't take my word.

I'm sorry you are unable to use Lavender EO. You are the perfect example of

what's safe for me is not safe for you and that's why we with MCS and

similar illnesses need to be so careful to know what we can tolerate and

what needs to be avoided. Thanks for sharing.
