Coffee Beans a Plenty

Thought:

Beans, coffee that is; It’s okay to be full of beans sometimes.

I love the caffeine; it’s the rich taste I could do without.

I have a fragrance allergy, and it gives me migraine headaches that are some of my worst. I’ll bet someone reading this right now knows what I’m talking about. But, I have found that if I carry a small container of coffee, either freeze dried or beans, I can quickly take whiffs of the coffee to neutralize the fragrance, perfume, or scent and hopefully interrupt the chemical signal being transmitted to the brain. Some coffees are better than others. We learned about this from, of all places, a fragrance model at the perfume counter in the cosmetic section of a large department store in the mall.

She told us of their use of the coffee beans to neutralize the specific scent of the fragrances. “Coffee beans are known agents that help to neutralize the perception of scent. In the perfume section of the mall, you will see dishes with coffee beans on it at the counter. After sniffing on a certain scent, you can clear your nose of that perceived scent by taking a whiff of the bean so that you can smell a different kind of perfume again.” The secret to coffee beans and their odor removing properties. It is so effective that drug smugglers sometimes will try to mask the sent of drugs from drug sniffing dogs by packing them in coffee beans.

There are many with fragrance and perfume sensitivities ranging from mild to severe, and often have a difficulty managing or coping with these sensitivities. These types of sensitivities can bring about more problems because the more you are around these chemicals, the more sensitive you become. Sometimes, avoidance seems to be the only way to prevent illness. By completely avoiding these substances, you might be able to give your body a chance to heal, you might become less sensitive.

We make no claims or statements that bring about any cures, remissions or benign results. We can state with much personal experience and conviction that removing toxic, harsh and hazardous chemicals, and fragrances from our personal environment we have had less chemical induced migraine headaches.

My fragrance migraineheadaches have been greatly reduced in our home. It’s when we enter the public environment that we become vulnerable to these fragrance induced migraine headaches . So, if you suffer like I do, get BEANS, coffee that is, and never leave home without them!
