Autism and Essential Oil Benefits

As you well know I am a big fan of Essential Oils. In my own life I have seen some major benefits of the use of Essential Oils. I wrote in my blog yesterday the benefits of using Essential Oils for people that are diagnosed with S.A.D (Seasonal Affective Disorder).
One of the other things that I like about Essential oils is the fact that Sarah (who has extremely sensitive smell) likes some of the smells of Essential Oils. Of course the Essential Oils that I use are diluted and I have only been able to use them on myself, Sarah smells them and wants me to make the creams for her as well.

To be absolutely honest with you one of my favorite Essential Oils (and there are many) is Frankincense.

Frankincense is very grounding. I notice that when my husband wears Frankincense that both he and Sarah seem calmer. Frankincense has helped my husband with RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome) and he sleeps so much better as do I!

Autism, Pituitary Gland and Frankincense Essential Oils

We all know that Autism has been characterized as being a neurodevelopmental disorder, pervasive developmental disorder and severe and sustained impairment in social interaction, by deviance in communication ect..... Autism is based soley on behavioral characteristics.
What about the Pituitary Gland and Autism? The Pituitary Gland is called the Master Gland of the body. It helps regulate almost everything in your body to make you function well.
In the Autism study on boys scientists found out that the Serum levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone, growth hormone and cortisol were significantly higher in subjects with Autism than in controls. In addition, there was a significantly positive correlation between cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone levels in Autism.
Whether Autism is genetic or not, the behaviors have to be addressed. There are a lot of traditional medicines that have there place in the medical field. I have found out the hard way that there is no real traditional medicine out there that is only for Autism. Many people diagnosed with Autism have to change there medicine quite often because there body is quick to acclimate to the medicine.
Sarah at this time is on many medicines and it is my mission to see if I can find her healthier alternatives to her traditional medicines.
One thing that I have found that might be helpful for her is Essential Oils. I have researched Essential Oils for quite some time now and have recently come across some exciting news about Frankincense and the Pituitary Gland.

Frankincense has many healing properties and can seem to get into the places in the body faster and more efficiently that some traditional medicines.
So, I found out that Frankincense contains seqiuterpenes that stimulate the part of the brain that controls emotions. It also helps the hypothalamus, pineal and pituitary glands that produce many of the important hormones in your body.
Do your own research and see what you come up with. Please let me know what you think about this.
