Glandular fever

[Brooke DeLollis]

I've had an email from my friend in Oz , she is a very active person , does bush walking etc but for the past month she has been almost confined to bed and in her words in a "state of collapse" she has been told she has had "severe and acute glandular fever" and her "thyroid is shot to pieces" ( " " her words)

she was asking about complementary treatments
I am sending her healing and

I have advised her see if she can get an aromatherapist to visit her at home
I know that tea tree oil is recommended for glandular fever and she could use that in a diffuser but i was wondering if you could recommend any blends she could use
I don't think she could stand a full massage but a gentle hand/feet treatment might help her sense of well being as she is very down

any advice appreciated

Hi, if your friend can manage to get on the net, pass on this link to the thyroid site, she can gen up on her throid and related illness. The gang on there are extremely knowlegeable and very very helpful. lyn

One of the best places for her to find a qualified aromatherapist would be the ATMS website [link=http://www.atms.com.au]www.atms.com.au[/link] they have therapist listed by suburbs, so she'll be able to locate someone close to her.

Aromatherapy is not as well recognised in Australia as the UK, but much better than in the US - most fully qualified aormatherapists will have a qualification that allows them to join the IFA, but many people say they do aromatherapy after they've read one book and purchased a bottle of lavender, or some over the counter muscle blend.

Rather than tea tree, I'd suggest your friend try to get hold of some kunzea, it's immune system boosting, uplifting, and anti-spasmodic, plus a great insect repellent There are only a few suppliers of kunzea, and they are reputable companies: tea tree, there are a million and oen cheapy brands that vary in quality a lot.

If her thyroid is shot to pieces, have they started her on thyroid replacment yet? That usually takes about 6 weeks to notice a difference, which would be making it very difficult to figure out when she felt like she was getting over the glandular fever.
