Use of essential oils for transplant patients

@vashti, I have always avoided essential oils because of the uncertainty, and I didn't want to take a risk. I think that the way you described your elevated tacrolimus blood level is evidence that it did indeed affect your medication levels. I am happy that you are keeping your lab schedule! It frightens me to think what might have happened if you had not discovered it early. Do you remember how long it took for your blood levels to return to normal?
Have you tried the vegetable carrier oil or the butter that the cosmetic formulator suggested? Are you satisfied with the results?

Hi. Yes, i am quite sensitive to most medications. I am diabetic on insulin too, so i am a challenge on my own lol.
I have only been using fractionated coconut oil. I use it all over my body and hair too.
I think the essential oils are to potent, too effective and much too concentrated for my immune system. I will let you know as soon as i start formulating with other carrier oils and active ingredients. I am sure that would be fine. Its not as concentrated as the ess oils and extracts.
I used it over a period of 6 months when my levels just increased. My dr reduced my 3mg advagraf to 2mg and i stopped the use of ess oils immediately. Its took a little over 3 weeks to see a significant difference.
I am a special case lol
Everything affects me.
Also grateful i found it before it was too serious.
