Interesting. I would still do all the Western med things but maybe add in some lavender capsules, or lavender topical application
Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response caused by a severe infection that frequently causes multi-organ dysfunction/failure and has high mortality rates. The lungs are one of the most vulnerable organs during sepsis and almost half of people with severe sepsis develop acute lung injury. An experimental model of sepsis-induced acute lung injury found that ingestion of lavender essential oil protected subjects against sepsis-induced acute lung injury. Specifically, the oil reduced inflammation and oxidative stress (which triggers cell death) and reduced overexpression of genes linked to lung injury. This preliminary research suggests that lavender may protect against lung injury during sepsis, but further confirming research is necessary.
