甲狀腺亢進過來人的芳香療法

by Erica Kuo 11 Oct 2023

文/郭姿均 (美國註冊臨床藥草師RH, AHG)

五月廿五日是世界甲狀腺日,知名武打明星李連杰據傳因為甲狀腺亢進,外貌驟衰。我也曾飽受甲狀亢進,第一次是在我任職媒體工作時,服藥快2年,第二次是在英國唸碩士快回國時發作,此次發作甚至持續至懷孕,約服藥2年多,中間還流產過一次,連懷孕過程都要服藥,因為醫師擔我會有甲狀腺風暴,造成心律不整,生產時有死亡的風險,然而藥物也可能會造成胎兒低血糖,怕影響寶寶的腦部發育,造成智力問題,整個孕程是天人交戰。

生下小孩後,不久我就停藥,我知道咖啡、茶及含碘的海帶海菜等都可能誘發我發病,仔細回想起來,第一次發病確實與飲食有關,我每週外食時至少會吃3次海帶,第2次是壓力所致,所幸我孩子今年已經15歲,15年來我都不再服用西藥,也沒有發作過。

因為我還有先天性二尖瓣脫垂,雖然停藥,只要喝到咖啡及茶,仍會讓我心悸,心慌慌地!以為又要病發了。但自從我開始學習藥草與芳療,我將這些天然的療癒素材融入我的生活,就能立即緩和不舒服。

壓力確實會使人生病,因為它促進腎上腺皮質釋出可體松的類固醇,它是一種抵抗壓力的激素,但濃度高時會破壞腦組織中的海馬體,導致記憶障礙,嚴重的會造成老人癡呆症。此外,壓力也可提高升血中葡萄糖和胰島素的濃度。因此,長期處於壓力的狀態是形成糖尿病、老人癡呆症、癌症等重大疾病的遠因。

 

人體長時間處於壓力鍋的情形下,長期分泌可體松會造成副腎肥大,且因腦下垂體不斷產生副腎上腺皮質激素,抑制了刺激睪丸或卵巢的激素、成長激素、毛髮黑色素等的產生,結果可導致睪丸或卵巢萎縮、停止生長,頭髮變白等。
許多甲狀腺亢進者都有壓力大、心跳過、睡不著、月經不正常及代謝過快的問題,體重減輕以下都是有助甲狀腺亢進者的精油:

*葫蘿蔔籽精油:它的花朵又稱「安妮皇后的蕾絲」,歐洲野外隨處可見,很多植物有類似的花朵,但其中間有一顆黑色種籽是辨識的關鍵;它能夠調節甲狀腺功能。見圖,作者攝於於南法。

*玫瑰天竺葵:最有名的玫瑰天竺葵產地在法屬留尼旺島,生產的精油又稱「波旁玫瑰天竺葵」,可以調節內分泌系統不平衡,特別是甲狀腺及月經的不規則。

*馬鬱蘭:用於眩暈、止痛、失眠、月經不順;有助減壓力及焦慮,能夠改善甲狀腺亢進的睡眠品質,同時進而有助心臟功能,不致心律過快。

沒藥:沒藥是一種樹脂,市面很多假貨,因為有定香的作用,經常用於香水中,它也是甲狀腺亢進常用的精油。

永久花:其最著名的是化瘀止痛功能,但很多人不知其含高量的α-pinene達23%,研究認為α-pinene有助腦下垂體可體松的調節,不致使身體處於高壓的情況,是少數可以直接用於皮膚,不需稀釋,不致過敏的精油。

 

雲杉(Spruce):它有很多品種,主要用於呼吸道功能過敏及抒解偏頭痛,也是含有高量的α-pinene,所以常用於甲狀腺亢進。

玫瑰奧塔(Rose attar):一般市面不易找到,因為它不是傳統的奧圖玫瑰精油,Rose Attar 是印度及阿拉伯地區古法製作玫瑰精油方式,在精油的收集器裡放入檀香精油,讓玫瑰及檀香自然溶合,所以玫瑰奧塔還有檀香的功效,因為甲狀腺亢進者不易懷孕,這種精油因為有檀香。能夠安定深層的神經系統,同時並有玫瑰催情及溫和的作用,能夠讓亢進者心神穩定,不會太浮燥。

甲狀腺亢進嗅聞棒

準備材料:

1.準備一隻嗅聞棒

2.準備精油上述3-5種,共25-30滴(各家品牌的精油孔徑不一)

3.將精油倒入小碟子中

4.再將棉棒吸附精油

5.棉棒放入嗅聞棒中,蓋子蓋起來.

6.貼上貼紙標示製作日期及精油比例

使用方式:每次放在鼻子處嗅聞20次,每日次數不限,每隻嗅聞棒平均可以用3-6個月,如果在嗅聞時,沒有覺得一股氣被吸入時,表示精油已揮發,需更換棉棒,再重新製作。

:患者必須在醫師監測下服藥及抽血追蹤,不可貿然停藥,上述精油方法是輔助療法。
