Wow! Such an interesting 4 minute video and worth the listen. Dr. Michael Greger MD is a favorite of mine, and this is his video.
Topic?……. Improving cognitive performance using aromatherapy, 💖 especially in cases of neurodegenerative dis-ease.
I stepped back from corporate pharmacy and into the roots (& flowers 🌹, leaves🌿, and trees🌳 😉 ) of pharmacognosy because of information (like this) which remains largely unrecognized by mainstream medicine….. literal golden nuggets of self care…. which allow us improved quality of life, increased autonomy, and educated self care.
How many of you have seen a cognitively impaired patient who was so medicated that they were almost “zombi-fied”?
Roughly 50% of people with dementia experience behavioral or psychological symptoms that doctors often ‘chemically restrain’ by way of drugs that are often well known for their increased morbidity and mortality risks in the elderly…. not to mention dulling them cognitively even more. #riskvsbenefitfail
👆 Why?….. because it’s easier to prescribe a drug than it is to offer non-pharmacological alternatives. To be fair,few western medicine health care workers are trained in aromatherapy, nor have they taken the time to learn on their own. #notfundedbyBigPharma
Final tidbit….. I don’t want to spill all the beans here…. Dr. Greger speaks of Lemon Balm. Friends, that is also known as “Melissa”…… grown on our Young Living Farm in St. Marie’s, Idaho.
Go. Learn. Apply your knowledge! Help a friend or loved one out and share what you know and may already have in your possession.
