8 Essential Oils for Sore Throat Pain - Dr. Axe
d you know that essential oils can actually help make a sore throat go away quicker or avoid one all together? Sore throats can happen anytime of the year for a variety of reasons. A sore throat is an irritation, scratchiness or pain of the throat that often worsens when swallowing. (1)
Your throat or pharynx, by definition, is the tube that carries food to your esophagus and air to your windpipe and larynx (your voice box). A common sore throat is caused by a viral infection while a strep throat is a bacterial infection, which can be from a number of different strains of bacteria. Unfortunately, both are quite contagious and can be passed from person to person with close contact.
The most common cause of a sore throat is a cold or the flu. You often first realise a cold or the flu is coming on when you get that first bit of pain and scratchiness in your throat. A sore throat can also be caused by allergies, strep throat, mononucleosis, tonsillitis, smoking or acid reflux.
Aside from the typically recommended rest, proper nutrition, plenty of liquids, hot teas and gargling, sore throat remedies include tapping into the natural power of essential oils for sore throat pain!
Top Essential Oils for Sore Throat
The uses for essential oils truly are endless and if you have read any of my other essential oil articles, you’re probably not even that surprised that they can be used for sore throats, too.
The following essential oils for sore throat pain will kill germs, ease inflammation and speed healing of this annoying and painful malady:
1. Peppermint
Peppermint oil is commonly used for treatment of the common cold, cough, sinus infections, respiratory infections, and inflammation of the mouth and throat, including sore throats. It’s also used for digestive problems, including heartburn, nausea, vomiting, morning sickness, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), cramps of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract and bile ducts, upset stomach, diarrhoea, bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine, and gas.
Peppermint essential oil contains menthol, which provides a cooling sensation and a calming effect to the body. Research indicates that the antioxidant, antimicrobial and decongestant properties of peppermint essential oil can help alleviate your sore throat. Menthol also helps to sooth and calm sore throats as well as thin mucus and break up coughs. (2) (3)
2. Lemon
Lemon essential oil is known for its ability to cleanse toxins from any part of the body and is widely used to stimulate lymph drainage, to rejuvenate energy and purify skin.
Lemon oil is derived from the skin of the lemon and is excellent for sore throats since it is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, high in vitamin C, increases salivation and helps keep the throat moist.
3. Eucalyptus
Today, oil from the eucalyptus tree appears in many over-the-counter cough and cold products to relieve congestion. The health benefits of eucalyptus oil are due to its ability to stimulate immunity, provide antioxidant protection and improve respiratory circulation.
Originally referred to as “eucalyptol” by the scientific community, the health benefits of eucalyptus oil come from a chemical now known as cineole, which is an organic compound shown to hold astounding, widespread medicinal effects — including everything from reducing inflammation and pain to killing leukemia cells! It’s no wonder it can be one of the steps to beat a cold and sore throat. (4)
4. Oregano
This well-known herb in oil form is a smart choice for defence against a sore throat. There is evidence that the essential oil of oregano has antifungal and antiviral properties. One study even showed that treatment with oregano oil may be useful for parasite infections. (5)
If you have any doubts that oregano oil can prevent and treat a sore throat, it has even been shown to kill the superbug MRSA both as a liquid and as a vapour — and its antimicrobial activity is not diminished by heating it in boiling water. (6)
5. Clove
Clove essential oil is useful for boosting the immune system, so it is extremely useful at discouraging and relieving a sore throat. The sore throat benefits of clove oil can be attributed to its antimicrobial, antifungal, antiseptic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and stimulating properties. Chewing on a clove bud can help a sore throat (as well as a toothache).
A study published in Phytotherapy Research found that clove essential oil shows antimicrobial activity against a large number of multi-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis. (7) Its antiviral properties and ability to purify blood increases resistance to a multitude of diseases, including sore throats. (8)
6. Hyssop
Hyssop was used in ancient times as a cleansing herb for temples and other sacred places. In ancient Greece, the physicians Galen and Hippocrates valued hyssop for inflammation of the throat and chest, pleurisy and other bronchial complaints.
It’s not surprising that hyssop has a long history of medicinal use. The antiseptic properties of hyssop oil make it a powerful substance for fighting infections and killing bacteria. Whether your sore throat is viral or bacterial, hyssop is an excellent choice for a sore throat as well as lung inflammation.
7. Thyme
Thyme oil is one of the strongest antioxidants and antimicrobials known, and it has been used as a medicinal herb since ancient times. Thyme supports the immune, respiratory, digestive, nervous and other body systems.
A 2011 study tested thyme oil’s response to 120 strains of bacteria isolated from patients with infections of oral cavity, respiratory and genitourinary tracts. The results of experiments showed that the oil from the thyme plant exhibited extremely strong activity against all of the clinical strains. Thyme oil even demonstrated a good efficacy against antibiotic-resistant strains. What a sure bet for that scratchy throat! (9)
8. Juniper Berry
With a sweet, woodsy smell, juniper berry essential oil is a popular ingredient in many household cleaning products, aromatherapy blends and fragrance sprays. Today, juniper berry essential oil is also commonly used as one of the best natural remedies for sore throat as well as respiratory infections, fatigue, muscle aches and arthritis.
Juniper berry’s use for sore throat is validated by research that shows juniper berry essential oil actually contains over 87 different active constituent compounds, including strong antioxidants, antibacterials and antifungals. (10)
How to Use Essential Oils for Sore Throat
Essential oils can be used for a sore throat in three different ways: by inhalation, topical application or internal consumption.
Inhalation
Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of plant-derived, aromatic essential oils to promote physical and psychological well-being. One main way to use essential oils for aromatherapy is to inhale the smell or aroma of an essential oil.
When the scent of an essential oil is inhaled, molecules enter the nasal cavities and stimulate a firing of mental response in the limbic system of the brain, including the regulation of stress or calming responses such as heart rate, breathing patterns, production of hormones and blood pressure. Aromatherapy can be obtained by using essential oils as direct inhalations, in a bath, in a vaporiser or humidifier, fan, vent, perfume, cologne, or through aromatherapy diffusers.
An easy way to regularly practice direct inhalation is to add one to two drops of an essential oil into the palms of your hands and rub them together to spread the oil. Next, cup your hands over your nose and take 5–10 deep and slow breaths. You can also add two to three drops of an essential oil to a cotton ball and place it inside your pillow or in any place that will be easy to smell it.
Another excellent way to soothe a sore throat is by inhaling the steam of boiling water containing a few drops of some of the essential oils I just mentioned. Simply fill a big bowl with hot water and drape a towel over your head to create a tent and breathe in the steam. Of course, be careful not to burn yourself.
Oral Use
Many essential oils can be ingested by the mouth; however, it is critical to make sure that the oils you use are safe and pure. Many oils on the market may be diluted or blended with synthetics that are unsafe for ingesting. The FDA has approved some essential oils generically for internal use and given them the generally recognised as safe (GRAS) designation for human consumption. (11)
By using essential oils in a gargle, you can directly have the essential oils come into contact with the problematic area. Simply add one to two drops of essential oil to half a glass of mildly warm water and gargle for a minute or two. Do not swallow the mixture after gargling.
A safe and effective way to consume essential oils according to The Healing Intelligence of Essential Oils: The Science of Advanced Aromatherapy, is to add one drop of oil to a glass of water or in a teaspoon of honey. Other oral application options include using capsules, making a tea, and cooking with essential oils. (12)
Topical Application
Topical application of an essential oil involves placing an essential oil on the skin, hair, mouth, teeth, nails or mucous membranes of the body. When the oils touch the body, they penetrate rapidly.
Since pure essential oils are so potent, it’s important to dilute them before using them on your body. You can dilute an essential oil by blending it with a carrier oil (such as olive, jojoba, sweet almond, or coconut oil) or a natural unscented lotion. Add 5–10 drops of essential oil to to two tablespoons of carrier oil or natural unscented lotion. You can then apply the blended oil or lotion directly to an area of the body that will benefit the throat like the neck, chest, behind the ears, or bottoms of the feet.
Recipes Using Essential Oils for Sore Throat
Easy, Anti Sore Throat Steam Inhalation
INGREDIENTS:
• 3 drops clove essential oil
• 3 drops juniper berry essential oil
• large bowl of boiling hot water
DIRECTIONS:
1. Add the clove and juniper berry oils to a large bowl of boiled water.
2. Drape a towel over your head to create a tent over and around the bowl.
3. Relax and breathe in the fragrant steam for 5 minutes. Of course, be careful not to burn yourself.
You can also add 3 drops of lemon oil and 1 drop of eucalyptus oil to your water, gargle for 10 seconds and then drink.
Risks of Essential Oils for Sore Throat
Make sure you are using therapeutic grade essential oils for sore throat pain. Inhaled or topical use of essential oils is generally safer than oral use. Never ingest any essential oils or apply undiluted essential oils to the skin without proper training or medical supervision. It is critical to understand how best to use essential oils.
Always consult a specialist and conduct a patch test before proceeding with caution as essential oils may react differently for different individuals. Infants, children, pregnant women, seniors and people with severe illnesses should not use essential oils internally except under the supervision of a physician. If pregnant, check with a professional before using essential oils externally on your body as well.
If your sore throat is severe or lasts longer than one week, seek medical attention.
"Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content."

What are the Health Benefits of Oregano
What are the health benefits of oregano? Oregano is a culinary and medicinal herb from the mint, or Lamiaceae family. It has been used in medicine and cooking for thousands of years. It adds flavor, and it may have a number of health benefits. The name of the herb comes from the Greek words "oros," meaning mountain, and "ganos," meaning joy. It typically grows around 50 cm tall and has purple leaves around 2 to 3 centimeters in length. The chemicals that give the herb its unique and pleasant smell are thymol, pinene, limonene, carvacrol, ocimene, and caryophyllene. It is believed to contain potent antioxidants and to have anti-bacterial properties.  Fast facts on oregano: Here are some key points about oregano. More detail is in the main article. • Oregano is a Mediterranean herb that is used for cooking and medicinal purposes, ranging from treating infections to repelling insects. • Active ingredients in oregano could one day help treat osteoporosis, cancer, and diabetes. • Use it to flavor sauces, make herby bread rolls, and in marinades for meat. • People with an allergy to mint should take care when consuming oregano.  Benefits. Oregano is available fresh, or dried for cooking, and oregano oil can be used to treat infections. Oregano was used in herbal medicine as long ago as the Ancient Greeks. Hippocrates used it as an antiseptic. Possible medicinal uses of oregano include treating respiratory tract disorders, gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, menstrual cramps, and urinary tract disorders. Applied topically, it may help treat a number of skin conditions, such as acne and dandruff. 1) Antibacterial properties. Oregano oil contains an essential compound called carvacrol, which has antimicrobial properties. The herb has shown antimicrobial activity in a number of studies. One group of researchers found that Origanum vulgare essential oils were effective against 41 strains of the food pathogen Listeria monocytogenes. Another team from India and the United Kingdom (U.K.) reported that the essential oil of Himalayan oregano has strong antibacterial properties that may protect against the hospital superbug, MRSA. "We have done a few preliminary tests and have found that the essential oil from the oregano kills MRSA at a dilution 1 to 1,000. The tests show that the oil kills MRSA both as a liquid and as a vapor and its antimicrobial activity is not diminished by heating in boiling water." Prof. Vyv Salisbury, the University of the West of England, Bristol The project won an award from the United Nations in 2008. 2) Anti-inflammatory properties. Scientists from Germany and Switzerland identified an active ingredient in oregano, known as beta-caryophyllin (E-BCP), which may help treat disorders such as osteoporosis and arteriosclerosis. E-BCP is a dietary cannabinoid. 3) Protecting against cancer. Research published in the journal PLoS ONE in 2013 suggested that oregano exhibits anticancer activity. The scientists concluded that Origanum majorana could help prevent and treat breast cancer by slowing or preventing its progression. In 2014, food scientists discovered that the popular culinary herbs oregano, rosemary, and marjoram contain compounds that may have the potential to manage type 2 diabetes in a similar way to some currently prescribed drugs. Other possible health benefits. According to The Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database, oregano can be used for the following illnesses and conditions: • cold sores. • muscle pain. • acne. • dandruff. • bronchitis. • toothache. • bloating. • headaches. • heart conditions. • allergies. • intestinal parasites. • earache. • sore throat. • fatigue. • repelling insects. • menstrual cramps.  Oregano essential oil, made from Origanum vulgare or Thymus capitatus, may help with the following problems: • Foot or nail fungus: Put a few drops in water and soak the feet in it, or apply diluted oil topically to the affected area. • Sinus infections and colds: Use a few drops in a steam bath and inhale. Any essential oil should be diluted before use, either with a carrier oil, such as olive oil, or in water, as for a steam bath. More research is needed to confirm oregano's effectiveness as a treatment.  Nutrition. Oregano contains some important nutrients. One teaspoon of dried oregano contains: • energy: 5 calories. • fiber: 0.8 grams (g). • calcium: 29 milligrams (mg). • iron: 0.66 mg. • magnesium: 5 g. • manganese: 0.09 mg. • potassium: 23 mg. • vitamin E: 0.33 mg. • vitamin K: 11.2 micrograms (mcg). Vitamin K is important for bone growth, maintaining bone density, and the production of blood clotting proteins. Calcium is necessary for the formation of bones and teeth.

Worried about Mold Exposure? Learn the Symptoms of Poisoning and Illness in Humans
Prevent Mold Poisoning and Illness if Symptoms Appear.
A QUICK LOOK:
How dangerous can toxic molds be?
What are the signs of mold toxicity?
What are the symptoms of mold exposure in humans?
What could be a false symptom of mold exposure?
What is the treatment for mold poisoning?
The symptoms of mold exposure in humans can have severe consequences;
Molds favor paper, cloth, and wood, but could infest concrete and glass too;
Toxic fungi thrive inside walls, carpets, heating, ventilation systems and more;
Mold allergies and poisoning pose threat to adults, children, and pets;
Toxic fungi can grow anywhere as long as conditions are right.
The worst case scenario is toxic mold exposure.
But can exposure to mold cause illness you may ask?
It sure does!
If you sense the slightest sign of a musty odor or see indications of surface discoloring, it could be a sign of an infestation. If you sense a musty smell, you might be exposed to toxic fungi, even if you can’t spot the signs of such growing!
“The term ‘mycotoxin’ is reserved for the toxic chemical products produced by fungi that colonize crops. One mold species may produce many different mycotoxins, and several species may produce the same mycotoxin.”
– Wikipedia
Short-term poisoning from fungi fumes causes adults, children, and pets to suffer from the symptoms of toxic mold exposure. Long-term leads to the development of the mold-linked syndrome. – MoldBlogger.com

How to Figure if Mold Exposure is the Cause?
Do stale, fusty and stuffy odors bother you?
Do you inhabit an abode with discolored surfaces?
Has your roof been leaking?
Has your home been flooded?
Have you noticed signs of previous water damage?
Do you suffer from chronic shortness of breath and weakness?
Do you experience a chronic migraine?
Do you experience frequent flu-like symptoms?
Have you had sinus irritation?
Have you had ear infections?
Do you suffer from recurring respiratory difficulties?
Does your suffering get worse on a rainy day?
If you recognize any of these signs,
you could be a victim of the damp building effect.
What are the Symptoms of Toxic Mold Poisoning?
Look for the top signs of toxicity and mold illness such as shortage of breath, sinus infections, bronchitis, pneumonia, migraines, sore throat, depression, joint pain and inflammation, exhaustion and various digestive problems. Here is a list of the top symptoms associated with mold-associated illness:
Extreme tiredness and physical exertion;
Headaches – slight to ice pick pain and severe migraines spikes;
Sight irritation – red eyes, blurred vision, and photophobia (light sensitivity);
Ear infections and irritation;
Disorientation, static shocks, and panic attacks;
Deficient memory and difficulties with speech;
Lack of focus and decreased learning ability;
Morning stiffness, muscle cramps, and increasing joint pain;
Slight prickling or stinging sensations;
Sinus congestion, chronic cough;
Shortness of breath and other respiratory difficulties;
Mood, body temperature, and appetite swings;
Vertigo, lightheadedness and poor concentration;
Joint and abdominal pain, numbness;
Tearing and a sense of a metallic taste;
Frequent urination and thirst;
Diarrhea, bloating and if severe – vomiting;
Increased sweat (especially at night);
Skin rashes and even a bleeding nose or bloody cough.
There are 3 levels of mold exposure:

* Do you have any other suggestions? Let us know in the comments!
What could be a False Symptom of Mold Exposure?
If you are ill, you may not immediately consider the cause to be decreased fungitoxicity. Spores and mycotoxins pose health risks of mold illness in humans but that’s not always the case. A few extra comments on the side effects of toxic molds on humans:
Skin rashes: You may think that skin can only become inflamed by direct contact with toxic mold but this isn’t always the case. You can develop redness in your skin simply from inhaling the fumes of fungi.
Eye irritation: In springtime, red eyes, blurred vision and photophobia could be mistaken for an indication of allergies when the real cause is a symptom of toxic mold growing in your home or office.
Chronic tiredness: Enough sleep but still tired? Feeling down for several days in a row, even when you are getting adequate sleep, can and often is a sure symptom of exposure and ongoing infestation.
A sore throat: Do you experience a raw feeling when you swallow, or hoarseness when you speak? Both symptoms of exposure are indicative of the presence of mold. Spores can lodge in your throat and thus irritate the sensitive membranes within.
Shortness of breath: Breathing in mold spores can cause a wide range of respiratory difficulties. This is especially prevalent if you suffer from allergies. If exposure is continuous, you may develop asthma or may have asthma and not realize that attacks are being triggered by fungi.
A runny nose or sinuses: If you are constantly reaching for a tissue to ease your runny nose, it could be a strong symptom of exposure to fungus. Your runny nose could be triggered either by an allergy to fungi spores and fumes. Nose membranes can be easily irritated by the mycotoxins. In either case, you could misdiagnose yourself as having a light cold or seasonal allergy. If your runny nose persists, you should look into the possibility of toxic mold exposure.
Bleeding nose or caught: Although this symptom is rare, it does occur. Some patients are sensitive to certain allergens and those offending irritants can cause severe reactions. One of those could be nose bleeding caused your nose membranes being damaged by mycotoxins or spores. If this is happening to you, it could be due to toxic mold growing in near proximity.
* Do you have any other suggestions? Please let us know in the comments.
Important:
The symptoms of mold exposure are not distinctive and lack definitive indicators. Certainty requires professional inspection and such is recommended whenever in doubt. When sight and scent are insufficient, air and surface sampling are the one sure way to make sure if mold is the source of any symptom.
Do You Suffer from Symptoms of Mold Exposure?
If you have one, several or all of the above-listed symptoms on a regular basis, it is highly advisable that you inspect your home for signs of a fungi infestation. You should track how and when your symptoms occur, worsen and disappear.
When leaving your abode in the morning, do you notice if you feel better during the day, being outside of your abode? This can be a clear indicator that something in your home is, in fact, causing your distress.
The same applies when you’re traveling or on a vacation. If you find yourself in better health then further inspection for the presence of toxic fungus in your property is a must. Your home shouldn’t make you sick and to locate, treat and remove the mold problem is the one and only solution.
How to Treat the Symptoms of Mold Exposure?
Leave the contaminated area as soon as possible. Moving forward with any treatment without removing yourself and your family away from the infested area is a no-no.
Get rid of all infested. Throw potentially infested possessions made out paper, clothing fabric, wood and etc.
Use binders. Binders include oat hulls, clay, wheat bran, charcoal, cholestyramine, cellulose, pectins and yeast cell walls or consult a professional for the right product for your specific circumstances.
The Shoemaker protocol resembles climbing a stairway. It is an off-label bile that lines-up agents to reduce the effects of mycotoxins in mold-infested properties. For some, the one step required would be to simply leave the infested environment behind. The number of steps depends on how advanced your illness is. It is an efficient solution for cholestyramine powder or prescribed Welchol.
Other solutions are Upgraded Coconut Charcoal and GI Detox. These products merge toxins in the abdominal tract. Combine those with Glutathione Force to help glutathione. It is a compound involved as a coenzyme in oxidation for patients with toxin-caused conditions.
Medical care is mandatory to prevent fungi and bacteria colonies from growing and spreading. The most susceptible areas of the human body are your sinuses, gastrointestinal tract, bladder and for ladies – genitalia. Examine yourself and take precautions to prevent excessive growth of candida. A mold-infested environment weakens your immune system thus allowing candida to thrive.
Intensify the detox abilities of your body.A few of the most effective supplements to boost detoxification after mold sickness are liposomal glutathione, boron, milk thistle, iodine, n-acetylcysteine, alpha lipoic acid, glycine, glutamine, taurine and of course fresh and healthy vegetables;Methylation support is crucial and requires optimal levels of B12 (methylcobalamin), B6 (methyl-folate), riboflavin, and minerals.
Use a quality air purifier. It is not a solution but it could reduce toxicity levels in the environment and thus reduce the symptoms to mold exposure.
Cut on foods that contain mycotoxins. These include corn, wheat, barley, peanuts, sugar cane (fungi love carbohydrates), rye, sorghum, cottonseed, hard cheeses, and alcoholic beverages such as wine and beer. A few more to name: oats, rice, tree nuts pistachios, brazil nuts, chiles, oilseeds, spices, black pepper, dried fruits, figs, coffee, cocoa, beans, and bread.
Keep the normal function of your intestines and prevent constipation. Use magnesium citrate, vitamin C, laxatives, purgatives or aperients.
* Do you have any other suggestions? Please let us know in the comments.
Important:
Constipation is a sole enemy of removing toxins out of your body.
What is the treatment for exposure to toxic mold?
If caught on time, you could treat the symptoms and prevent illness.
Mold-free diets – paleo and grain-free diets show great results;
Allergy shots (subcutaneous immunotherapy or SCIT);
Anti-mold herbs and medications;
Saunas using infrared wavelengths;
IV nutrient & detoxification therapies;
Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG): Immune Disorders Treatment.
Build a “safe” room. Equip it with proper filtration to minimize the risks of the presence of toxic fumes, spores or mold-induced allergens.
What are the Effects of Molds on Human Health?
Exposure to toxic mold can be fatal but not all fungi are bad.
Before we further elaborate on the negative effects of toxic molds on human health, let’s begin by mentioning a few positive impacts:
Rhizopus is a type of fungus that releases fumaric acid. It is used to produce a type of local anesthetic for adults, known as cortisone;
Aspergillus flavus on the other hand, has been safely used in China for centuries in the making of cheeses and soy sauce;
Penicillium has led to the discovery of the antibiotic.
However, not all types of mold are as benevolent as the ones above.
Besides looking unsightly, any type of mold can become a major inconvenience once it enters your household or office.
If the infested area is not sterilized in time, the fungi will release numerous spores into the air. Once inhaled by humans, spores can trigger an allergic reaction. The signs of mold toxicity will vary depending on your age, the level of exposure, and your health condition.
Toxic mold is a source for microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOC). Most lack odor but some are quite fusty. In the indoor environment, human exposure to fungal MVOC’s has been pointed as the cause of headaches, nasal irritation, dizziness, fatigue, and nausea. However, the evidence is insufficient, and other factors should also be taken into consideration.
Here is a chart to highlight the most common binders and sources associated with mycotoxins:
Mycotoxin: Associated Molds: Examples Binders: Potential Sources: Aflatoxin Aspergillus flavus;
Aspergillus parasiticus; Clays (bentonite, montmorillonite) Charcoals; Zeolites; Glucomannan; Diatomaceous earth; Milk, cheese, eggs, meat (contaminated feed), cereals, wheat, spices, tree nuts, peanuts, pistachios, Brazil nuts, chilies, oilseeds, corn, spices, black pepper, dried fruit, figs, dried coconut Ochratoxin Aspergillus albertensis;
Aspergillus alliaceus;
Aspergillus auficomus;
Aspergillus carbonadus;
Aspergillus niger;
Aspergillus ochraceus; Aspergillus sderotiorum; Aspergillus sulphurous; Aspergillus wentii;
Penicillium nordicum; Penicillium viridicatum; Cholestyramine;
Zeolites;
Glucomannan;
Diatomaceous earth; Cereals, wheat, corn, oats, coffee, dried fruit, wine, beer, cocoa, nuts, beans, peas, bread, rice, cheese, meats (contaminated feed, especially pork and poultry), dried and smoked fish, soybeans, garbanzo beans Trichothecene Penicillium verrucosum; Cephalosporium; Fusarium; Myrothecium; Stachybotrys; Trichoderma; Tdchothecium; Verticimonosporium; Clays (bentonite; montmorillonite); Charcoals;
Zeolites; Glucomannan; Diatomaceous earth; Grains, cereals, wheat, barley, oats, corn, rye, durum, soybeans, potatoes, sunflower seeds, peanuts, bananas
* This chart is a partial listing of fungi that may produce mycotoxins. Additional sources of mycotoxins or binders may not be present. Some of the binders listed are from veterinary literature. Mycotoxins are crucial for the manufacturing of animal products such as milk, eggs, and meat.
Symptoms of Toxic Mold Exposure – Conclusion and Takeaways:
The signs of mycotoxin exposure are various and often neglected. Many fail to recognize the symptoms of exposure to mold in humans until sickness arises. Mycotoxins cause serious damage to both your health and that of your beloved ones. To be well-aware and detox is how you can prevent the consequences of poisoning and illness in the first place. In case you have suspicions but you can’t see the signs – you should always seek professional help.

Worried about Mold Exposure? Learn the Symptoms of Poisoning and Illness in Humans
Prevent Mold Poisoning and Illness if Symptoms Appear.
A QUICK LOOK:
How dangerous can toxic molds be?
What are the signs of mold toxicity?
What are the symptoms of mold exposure in humans?
What could be a false symptom of mold exposure?
What is the treatment for mold poisoning?
The symptoms of mold exposure in humans can have severe consequences;
Molds favor paper, cloth, and wood, but could infest concrete and glass too;
Toxic fungi thrive inside walls, carpets, heating, ventilation systems and more;
Mold allergies and poisoning pose threat to adults, children, and pets;
Toxic fungi can grow anywhere as long as conditions are right.
The worst case scenario is toxic mold exposure.
But can exposure to mold cause illness you may ask?
It sure does!
If you sense the slightest sign of a musty odor or see indications of surface discoloring, it could be a sign of an infestation. If you sense a musty smell, you might be exposed to toxic fungi, even if you can’t spot the signs of such growing!
“The term ‘mycotoxin’ is reserved for the toxic chemical products produced by fungi that colonize crops. One mold species may produce many different mycotoxins, and several species may produce the same mycotoxin.”
– Wikipedia
Short-term poisoning from fungi fumes causes adults, children, and pets to suffer from the symptoms of toxic mold exposure. Long-term leads to the development of the mold-linked syndrome. – MoldBlogger.com

How to Figure if Mold Exposure is the Cause?
Do stale, fusty and stuffy odors bother you?
Do you inhabit an abode with discolored surfaces?
Has your roof been leaking?
Has your home been flooded?
Have you noticed signs of previous water damage?
Do you suffer from chronic shortness of breath and weakness?
Do you experience a chronic migraine?
Do you experience frequent flu-like symptoms?
Have you had sinus irritation?
Have you had ear infections?
Do you suffer from recurring respiratory difficulties?
Does your suffering get worse on a rainy day?
If you recognize any of these signs,
you could be a victim of the damp building effect.
What are the Symptoms of Toxic Mold Poisoning?
Look for the top signs of toxicity and mold illness such as shortage of breath, sinus infections, bronchitis, pneumonia, migraines, sore throat, depression, joint pain and inflammation, exhaustion and various digestive problems. Here is a list of the top symptoms associated with mold-associated illness:
Extreme tiredness and physical exertion;
Headaches – slight to ice pick pain and severe migraines spikes;
Sight irritation – red eyes, blurred vision, and photophobia (light sensitivity);
Ear infections and irritation;
Disorientation, static shocks, and panic attacks;
Deficient memory and difficulties with speech;
Lack of focus and decreased learning ability;
Morning stiffness, muscle cramps, and increasing joint pain;
Slight prickling or stinging sensations;
Sinus congestion, chronic cough;
Shortness of breath and other respiratory difficulties;
Mood, body temperature, and appetite swings;
Vertigo, lightheadedness and poor concentration;
Joint and abdominal pain, numbness;
Tearing and a sense of a metallic taste;
Frequent urination and thirst;
Diarrhea, bloating and if severe – vomiting;
Increased sweat (especially at night);
Skin rashes and even a bleeding nose or bloody cough.
There are 3 levels of mold exposure:

What could be a False Symptom of Mold Exposure?
If you are ill, you may not immediately consider the cause to be decreased fungitoxicity. Spores and mycotoxins pose health risks of mold illness in humans but that’s not always the case. A few extra comments on the side effects of toxic molds on humans:
Skin rashes: You may think that skin can only become inflamed by direct contact with toxic mold but this isn’t always the case. You can develop redness in your skin simply from inhaling the fumes of fungi.
Eye irritation: In springtime, red eyes, blurred vision and photophobia could be mistaken for an indication of allergies when the real cause is a symptom of toxic mold growing in your home or office.
Chronic tiredness: Enough sleep but still tired? Feeling down for several days in a row, even when you are getting adequate sleep, can and often is a sure symptom of exposure and ongoing infestation.
A sore throat: Do you experience a raw feeling when you swallow, or hoarseness when you speak? Both symptoms of exposure are indicative of the presence of mold. Spores can lodge in your throat and thus irritate the sensitive membranes within.
Shortness of breath: Breathing in mold spores can cause a wide range of respiratory difficulties. This is especially prevalent if you suffer from allergies. If exposure is continuous, you may develop asthma or may have asthma and not realize that attacks are being triggered by fungi.
A runny nose or sinuses: If you are constantly reaching for a tissue to ease your runny nose, it could be a strong symptom of exposure to fungus. Your runny nose could be triggered either by an allergy to fungi spores and fumes. Nose membranes can be easily irritated by the mycotoxins. In either case, you could misdiagnose yourself as having a light cold or seasonal allergy. If your runny nose persists, you should look into the possibility of toxic mold exposure.
Bleeding nose or caught: Although this symptom is rare, it does occur. Some patients are sensitive to certain allergens and those offending irritants can cause severe reactions. One of those could be nose bleeding caused your nose membranes being damaged by mycotoxins or spores. If this is happening to you, it could be due to toxic mold growing in near proximity.
* Do you have any other suggestions? Please let us know in the comments.
Important:
The symptoms of mold exposure are not distinctive and lack definitive indicators. Certainty requires professional inspection and such is recommended whenever in doubt. When sight and scent are insufficient, air and surface sampling are the one sure way to make sure if mold is the source of any symptom.
Do You Suffer from Symptoms of Mold Exposure?
If you have one, several or all of the above-listed symptoms on a regular basis, it is highly advisable that you inspect your home for signs of a fungi infestation. You should track how and when your symptoms occur, worsen and disappear.
When leaving your abode in the morning, do you notice if you feel better during the day, being outside of your abode? This can be a clear indicator that something in your home is, in fact, causing your distress.
The same applies when you’re traveling or on a vacation. If you find yourself in better health then further inspection for the presence of toxic fungus in your property is a must. Your home shouldn’t make you sick and to locate, treat and remove the mold problem is the one and only solution.
How to Treat the Symptoms of Mold Exposure?
Leave the contaminated area as soon as possible. Moving forward with any treatment without removing yourself and your family away from the infested area is a no-no.
Get rid of all infested. Throw potentially infested possessions made out paper, clothing fabric, wood and etc.
Use binders. Binders include oat hulls, clay, wheat bran, charcoal, cholestyramine, cellulose, pectins and yeast cell walls or consult a professional for the right product for your specific circumstances.
The Shoemaker protocol resembles climbing a stairway. It is an off-label bile that lines-up agents to reduce the effects of mycotoxins in mold-infested properties. For some, the one step required would be to simply leave the infested environment behind. The number of steps depends on how advanced your illness is. It is an efficient solution for cholestyramine powder or prescribed Welchol.
Other solutions are Upgraded Coconut Charcoal and GI Detox. These products merge toxins in the abdominal tract. Combine those with Glutathione Force to help glutathione. It is a compound involved as a coenzyme in oxidation for patients with toxin-caused conditions.
Medical care is mandatory to prevent fungi and bacteria colonies from growing and spreading. The most susceptible areas of the human body are your sinuses, gastrointestinal tract, bladder and for ladies – genitalia. Examine yourself and take precautions to prevent excessive growth of candida. A mold-infested environment weakens your immune system thus allowing candida to thrive.
Intensify the detox abilities of your body.A few of the most effective supplements to boost detoxification after mold sickness are liposomal glutathione, boron, milk thistle, iodine, n-acetylcysteine, alpha lipoic acid, glycine, glutamine, taurine and of course fresh and healthy vegetables;Methylation support is crucial and requires optimal levels of B12 (methylcobalamin), B6 (methyl-folate), riboflavin, and minerals.
Use a quality air purifier. It is not a solution but it could reduce toxicity levels in the environment and thus reduce the symptoms to mold exposure.
Cut on foods that contain mycotoxins. These include corn, wheat, barley, peanuts, sugar cane (fungi love carbohydrates), rye, sorghum, cottonseed, hard cheeses, and alcoholic beverages such as wine and beer. A few more to name: oats, rice, tree nuts pistachios, brazil nuts, chiles, oilseeds, spices, black pepper, dried fruits, figs, coffee, cocoa, beans, and bread.
Keep the normal function of your intestines and prevent constipation. Use magnesium citrate, vitamin C, laxatives, purgatives or aperients.
* Do you have any other suggestions? Please let us know in the comments.
Important:
Constipation is a sole enemy of removing toxins out of your body.
What is the treatment for exposure to toxic mold?
If caught on time, you could treat the symptoms and prevent illness.
Mold-free diets – paleo and grain-free diets show great results;
Allergy shots (subcutaneous immunotherapy or SCIT);
Anti-mold herbs and medications;
Saunas using infrared wavelengths;
IV nutrient & detoxification therapies;
Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG): Immune Disorders Treatment.
Build a “safe” room. Equip it with proper filtration to minimize the risks of the presence of toxic fumes, spores or mold-induced allergens.
What are the Effects of Molds on Human Health?
Exposure to toxic mold can be fatal but not all fungi are bad.
Before we further elaborate on the negative effects of toxic molds on human health, let’s begin by mentioning a few positive impacts:
Rhizopus is a type of fungus that releases fumaric acid. It is used to produce a type of local anesthetic for adults, known as cortisone;
Aspergillus flavus on the other hand, has been safely used in China for centuries in the making of cheeses and soy sauce;
Penicillium has led to the discovery of the antibiotic.
However, not all types of mold are as benevolent as the ones above.
Besides looking unsightly, any type of mold can become a major inconvenience once it enters your household or office.
If the infested area is not sterilized in time, the fungi will release numerous spores into the air. Once inhaled by humans, spores can trigger an allergic reaction. The signs of mold toxicity will vary depending on your age, the level of exposure, and your health condition.
Toxic mold is a source for microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOC). Most lack odor but some are quite fusty. In the indoor environment, human exposure to fungal MVOC’s has been pointed as the cause of headaches, nasal irritation, dizziness, fatigue, and nausea. However, the evidence is insufficient, and other factors should also be taken into consideration.
Here is a chart to highlight the most common binders and sources associated with mycotoxins:
Mycotoxin: Associated Molds: Examples Binders: Potential Sources: Aflatoxin Aspergillus flavus;
Aspergillus parasiticus; Clays (bentonite, montmorillonite) Charcoals; Zeolites; Glucomannan; Diatomaceous earth; Milk, cheese, eggs, meat (contaminated feed), cereals, wheat, spices, tree nuts, peanuts, pistachios, Brazil nuts, chilies, oilseeds, corn, spices, black pepper, dried fruit, figs, dried coconut Ochratoxin Aspergillus albertensis;
Aspergillus alliaceus;
Aspergillus auficomus;
Aspergillus carbonadus;
Aspergillus niger;
Aspergillus ochraceus; Aspergillus sderotiorum; Aspergillus sulphurous; Aspergillus wentii;
Penicillium nordicum; Penicillium viridicatum; Cholestyramine;
Zeolites;
Glucomannan;
Diatomaceous earth; Cereals, wheat, corn, oats, coffee, dried fruit, wine, beer, cocoa, nuts, beans, peas, bread, rice, cheese, meats (contaminated feed, especially pork and poultry), dried and smoked fish, soybeans, garbanzo beans Trichothecene Penicillium verrucosum; Cephalosporium; Fusarium; Myrothecium; Stachybotrys; Trichoderma; Tdchothecium; Verticimonosporium; Clays (bentonite; montmorillonite); Charcoals;
Zeolites; Glucomannan; Diatomaceous earth; Grains, cereals, wheat, barley, oats, corn, rye, durum, soybeans, potatoes, sunflower seeds, peanuts, bananas
* This chart is a partial listing of fungi that may produce mycotoxins. Additional sources of mycotoxins or binders may not be present. Some of the binders listed are from veterinary literature. Mycotoxins are crucial for the manufacturing of animal products such as milk, eggs, and meat.
Symptoms of Toxic Mold Exposure – Conclusion and Takeaways:
The signs of mycotoxin exposure are various and often neglected. Many fail to recognize the symptoms of exposure to mold in humans until sickness arises. Mycotoxins cause serious damage to both your health and that of your beloved ones. To be well-aware and detox is how you can prevent the consequences of poisoning and illness in the first place. In case you have suspicions but you can’t see the signs – you should always seek professional help.

Medical care is mandatory to prevent fungi and bacteria colonies from growing and spreading. The most susceptible areas of the human body are your sinuses, gastrointestinal tract, bladder and for ladies – genitalia. Examine yourself and take precautions to prevent excessive growth of candida. A mold-infested environment weakens your immune system thus allowing candida to thrive.
Intensify the detox abilities of your body.A few of the most effective supplements to boost detoxification after mold sickness are liposomal glutathione, boron, milk thistle, iodine, n-acetylcysteine, alpha lipoic acid, glycine, glutamine, taurine and of course fresh and healthy vegetables;Methylation support is crucial and requires optimal levels of B12 (methylcobalamin), B6 (methyl-folate), riboflavin, and minerals.
Use a quality air purifier. It is not a solution but it could reduce toxicity levels in the environment and thus reduce the symptoms to mold exposure.
Cut on foods that contain mycotoxins. These include corn, wheat, barley, peanuts, sugar cane (fungi love carbohydrates), rye, sorghum, cottonseed, hard cheeses, and alcoholic beverages such as wine and beer. A few more to name: oats, rice, tree nuts pistachios, brazil nuts, chiles, oilseeds, spices, black pepper, dried fruits, figs, coffee, cocoa, beans, and bread.
Keep the normal function of your intestines and prevent constipation. Use magnesium citrate, vitamin C, laxatives, purgatives or aperients.

Constipation is a sole enemy of removing toxins out of your body.
What is the treatment for exposure to toxic mold?
If caught on time, you could treat the symptoms and prevent illness.
Mold-free diets – paleo and grain-free diets show great results;
Allergy shots (subcutaneous immunotherapy or SCIT);
Anti-mold herbs and medications;
Saunas using infrared wavelengths;
IV nutrient & detoxification therapies;
Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG): Immune Disorders Treatment.
Build a “safe” room. Equip it with proper filtration to minimize the risks of the presence of toxic fumes, spores or mold-induced allergens.
What are the Effects of Molds on Human Health?
Exposure to toxic mold can be fatal but not all fungi are bad.
Before we further elaborate on the negative effects of toxic molds on human health, let’s begin by mentioning a few positive impacts:
Rhizopus is a type of fungus that releases fumaric acid. It is used to produce a type of local anesthetic for adults, known as cortisone;
Aspergillus flavus on the other hand, has been safely used in China for centuries in the making of cheeses and soy sauce;
Penicillium has led to the discovery of the antibiotic.
However, not all types of mold are as benevolent as the ones above.
Besides looking unsightly, any type of mold can become a major inconvenience once it enters your household or office.
If the infested area is not sterilized in time, the fungi will release numerous spores into the air. Once inhaled by humans, spores can trigger an allergic reaction. The signs of mold toxicity will vary depending on your age, the level of exposure, and your health condition.
Toxic mold is a source for microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOC). Most lack odor but some are quite fusty. In the indoor environment, human exposure to fungal MVOC’s has been pointed as the cause of headaches, nasal irritation, dizziness, fatigue, and nausea. However, the evidence is insufficient, and other factors should also be taken into consideration.
Here is a chart to highlight the most common binders and sources associated with mycotoxins:

Symptoms of Toxic Mold Exposure – Conclusion and Takeaways:
The signs of mycotoxin exposure are various and often neglected. Many fail to recognize the symptoms of exposure to mold in humans until sickness arises. Mycotoxins cause serious damage to both your health and that of your beloved ones. To be well-aware and detox is how you can prevent the consequences of poisoning and illness in the first place. In case you have suspicions but you can’t see the signs – you should always seek professional help.

Worried about Mold Exposure? Learn the Symptoms of Poisoning and Illness in Humans
Prevent Mold Poisoning and Illness if Symptoms Appear.
A QUICK LOOK:
How dangerous can toxic molds be?
What are the signs of mold toxicity?
What are the symptoms of mold exposure in humans?
What could be a false symptom of mold exposure?
What is the treatment for mold poisoning?
The symptoms of mold exposure in humans can have severe consequences;
Molds favor paper, cloth, and wood, but could infest concrete and glass too;
Toxic fungi thrive inside walls, carpets, heating, ventilation systems and more;
Mold allergies and poisoning pose threat to adults, children, and pets;
Toxic fungi can grow anywhere as long as conditions are right.
The worst case scenario is toxic mold exposure.
But can exposure to mold cause illness you may ask?
It sure does!
If you sense the slightest sign of a musty odor or see indications of surface discoloring, it could be a sign of an infestation. If you sense a musty smell, you might be exposed to toxic fungi, even if you can’t spot the signs of such growing!
“The term ‘mycotoxin’ is reserved for the toxic chemical products produced by fungi that colonize crops. One mold species may produce many different mycotoxins, and several species may produce the same mycotoxin.”
– Wikipedia
Short-term poisoning from fungi fumes causes adults, children, and pets to suffer from the symptoms of toxic mold exposure. Long-term leads to the development of the mold-linked syndrome. – MoldBlogger.com

What could be a False Symptom of Mold Exposure?
If you are ill, you may not immediately consider the cause to be decreased fungitoxicity. Spores and mycotoxins pose health risks of mold illness in humans but that’s not always the case. A few extra comments on the side effects of toxic molds on humans:
Skin rashes: You may think that skin can only become inflamed by direct contact with toxic mold but this isn’t always the case. You can develop redness in your skin simply from inhaling the fumes of fungi.
Eye irritation: In springtime, red eyes, blurred vision and photophobia could be mistaken for an indication of allergies when the real cause is a symptom of toxic mold growing in your home or office.
Chronic tiredness: Enough sleep but still tired? Feeling down for several days in a row, even when you are getting adequate sleep, can and often is a sure symptom of exposure and ongoing infestation.
A sore throat: Do you experience a raw feeling when you swallow, or hoarseness when you speak? Both symptoms of exposure are indicative of the presence of mold. Spores can lodge in your throat and thus irritate the sensitive membranes within.
Shortness of breath: Breathing in mold spores can cause a wide range of respiratory difficulties. This is especially prevalent if you suffer from allergies. If exposure is continuous, you may develop asthma or may have asthma and not realize that attacks are being triggered by fungi.
A runny nose or sinuses: If you are constantly reaching for a tissue to ease your runny nose, it could be a strong symptom of exposure to fungus. Your runny nose could be triggered either by an allergy to fungi spores and fumes. Nose membranes can be easily irritated by the mycotoxins. In either case, you could misdiagnose yourself as having a light cold or seasonal allergy. If your runny nose persists, you should look into the possibility of toxic mold exposure.
Bleeding nose or caught: Although this symptom is rare, it does occur. Some patients are sensitive to certain allergens and those offending irritants can cause severe reactions. One of those could be nose bleeding caused your nose membranes being damaged by mycotoxins or spores. If this is happening to you, it could be due to toxic mold growing in near proximity.

Important:
The symptoms of mold exposure are not distinctive and lack definitive indicators. Certainty requires professional inspection and such is recommended whenever in doubt. When sight and scent are insufficient, air and surface sampling are the one sure way to make sure if mold is the source of any symptom.
Do You Suffer from Symptoms of Mold Exposure?
If you have one, several or all of the above-listed symptoms on a regular basis, it is highly advisable that you inspect your home for signs of a fungi infestation. You should track how and when your symptoms occur, worsen and disappear.
When leaving your abode in the morning, do you notice if you feel better during the day, being outside of your abode? This can be a clear indicator that something in your home is, in fact, causing your distress.
The same applies when you’re traveling or on a vacation. If you find yourself in better health then further inspection for the presence of toxic fungus in your property is a must. Your home shouldn’t make you sick and to locate, treat and remove the mold problem is the one and only solution.
How to Treat the Symptoms of Mold Exposure?
Leave the contaminated area as soon as possible. Moving forward with any treatment without removing yourself and your family away from the infested area is a no-no.
Get rid of all infested. Throw potentially infested possessions made out paper, clothing fabric, wood and etc.
Use binders. Binders include oat hulls, clay, wheat bran, charcoal, cholestyramine, cellulose, pectins and yeast cell walls or consult a professional for the right product for your specific circumstances.
The Shoemaker protocol resembles climbing a stairway. It is an off-label bile that lines-up agents to reduce the effects of mycotoxins in mold-infested properties. For some, the one step required would be to simply leave the infested environment behind. The number of steps depends on how advanced your illness is. It is an efficient solution for cholestyramine powder or prescribed Welchol.
Other solutions are Upgraded Coconut Charcoal and GI Detox. These products merge toxins in the abdominal tract. Combine those with Glutathione Force to help glutathione. It is a compound involved as a coenzyme in oxidation for patients with toxin-caused conditions.
