Mold Defeated by Essential Oils

by Jacquelyn A Close, RA

Mold has caused untold trouble for millions of people. People have lost their homes, lost their health, and many have no idea that it is mold exposure that may be causing, contributing to, or exacerbating their colds, flu, chronic sinus infections, ear infections, asthma or even more serious health problems. Mold is everywhere and cannot be completely eliminated from our lives. However, blends of certain highly concentrated plant extracts called essential oils offer a safe option that removes spores from the air and off of surface areas, thus reducing and often eliminating the negative health impacts of mold exposure.

I know most of you have heard that all you have to do to get rid of mold is just use bleach water. There are certain government agencies, including FEMA, who continue to dispense this outdated information, even though it is well known by scientists and mold remediation experts to be false, misleading and potentially dangerous. Why is this lie perpetuated when, according to scientists and experts in the field, using bleach is a bad and potentially dangerous option?

When you use bleach water to get rid of mold in your bathroom, what happens? The mold comes back. Right? You have to keep doing that month after month, because the mold keeps coming back. Professionals found that when they used bleach water, mold spores rebounded, or returned, usually in 24 hours. Worse, the mold was harder to get rid of every time bleach water was used.

Why is that? Why would mold spores be harder to get rid of every time you use bleach?

Will bleach kill mold?

Yes. On non-porous surfaces, it works quite well. So, why shouldn’t you just use bleach?

Because it only works on the non-porous surface where you apply the bleach. It does nothing to get rid of spores in the air. And worse, when you are wiping or scrubbing an area with bleach water, it stirs up dead mold spores, which are also known to cause allergic reactions. So, it actually puts more spores into the air. Airborne mold spores, whether living or dead, can have negative impacts on children, pets and anyone with an undeveloped or impaired immune system.

Bleach works on glazed ceramic tile but not grout, works on glass windows but not on wood window frames, works on some china but not stoneware, works on linoleum but not on concrete. I could go on. Bleach is not effective on any porous surface and it does absolutely nothing to eliminate mold spores in the air. And here’s the thing, it is the airborne mold spores and even the dead mold spores stirred up when you use the bleach water that cause allergic reactions, respiratory irritation, and infection.

While the links between mold and health are just beginning to become widely known, there are already a growing number of scientific papers suggesting that mold contributes to childhood and adult onset asthma. Just do a search on Google or Yahoo for mold and asthma to find the scientific papers. There are also statements by various hospitals and researchers that a large percentage of people with chronic sinus infections have a “fungal infection” meaning they have mold (fungi) growing in their sinus cavities.

So, how can we say that essential oils are effective against mold?

The essential oils used in getting rid of mold are safe enough to be considered food supplements. High quality, therapeutic grade essential oils can be taken orally. Just be certain you are using an oil from a company you trust, there are only one or two companies in the world where you trust the oils enough to take them orally. To get rid of mold, you diffuse the essential and disperse them over an entire room, which is a safer way to enjoy their benefits. And they smell so good! The oils used to eliminate mold are cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) and clove (Syzygium aromaticum), mixed with rosemary, lemon and eucalyptus radiata. This blend of essential oils doesn’t just kill mold, and it doesn’t stir up mold spores, it simply removes mold spores from the air and from surfaces in rooms where it is diffused.

Edward R Close, PhD, PE, presents (in the video clips below) the results of independent laboratory tests that show what happened when he tested this non-toxic option. He was a skeptic. He didn’t believe it would work. That changed when he saw the results from independent laboratory tests for samples taken during numerous field studies (nearly 100 to date) that he personally conducted. Now, after several years of field studies, and thanks from all his happy clients, he is convinced. For the first time ever there is a safe, non-toxic way to eliminate mold in the air, on porous and non-porous surfaces, and in the human body.
