Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is a chronic condition that affects all organ systems. MCAS is serious and disabling, and people with MCAS often experience significant and debilitating symptoms daily, including anaphylaxis, which can be fatal.MCAS is often found in combination with other chronic conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).
Healthcare providers frequently do not know about MCAS, and the tests for MCAS are problematic because they are not uniformly reliable. MCAS can be difficult to manage. Treatments include blocking mast cell mediators with anti-histamines and mast cell stabilizers, as well as avoiding triggers.
Check out this post on how to manage MCAS.
This recipe is helpful for those who can’t tolerate commercial underarm deodorants. It is a combination of food-grade ingredients that are well-tolerated by most people.
This recipe calls for:
Peppermint essential oil, lavender essential oil, and bergamot essential oil. See these notes on essential oil safety.
Many people with MCAS cannot tolerate essential oils. This recipe contains optional essential oils that can easily be omitted. If you know that you can’t tolerate EOs then omit them from the recipe.
Each person’s triggers are unique to them. To be on the safe side, test a tiny amount of this deodorant on your wrist before applying it to your underarms. If you react at all do not use it.
The bucket theory offers a helpful analogy for understanding symptom reactions with MCAS.
Think of your body as an empty bucket you want to keep from overflowing. Different foods and activities fill your histamine bucket at different speeds but they combine to form the total level of histamine in your body (how full your bucket is). A fuller bucket means you have more histamine symptoms. When you manage triggers, reduce exposure to known triggers, and take medications and supplements to reduce histamine, you can manage the level of your bucket.
Knowing your symptom progression in a flare is the key to developing your rescue plan. In this post, I discuss how to determine your own symptom progression. Once you know what typically happens in your symptom progression you can design a rescue plan to address those symptoms.
