Mould Illness & CIRS
Mould illness is one of the most overlooked drivers of chronic, hard-to-explain symptoms. Amina has spent years supporting patients whose health shifted after living or working in a water-damaged building.
Book a ConsultationMould illness is one of the most under-recognised reasons people end up feeling unwell for years without a clear answer. A water-damaged home, a leaky office or a flood-affected rental can quietly expose someone to mould and mycotoxins, and for genetically susceptible people, the result can be a wide and confusing array of symptoms.
Amina Eastham-Hillier has supported many patients through mould illness, often as part of a bigger picture that includes chronic infection and gut imbalance. Her role is naturopathic support that works alongside your medical care.
Why mould illness is so often missed
Mould-related illness rarely looks like one thing. It can show up as fatigue, brain fog, sinus trouble, mood changes and sensitivity to everyday smells and foods, all at once. Standard tests often come back unremarkable, so people are told there is nothing wrong.
Because mould so frequently overlaps with Lyme and stealth infections and gut imbalance, it takes a practitioner who is looking for it, and who takes the time to map your history and your environment.
How Amina supports patients with mould illness
The first priority is always reducing exposure, since the body cannot recover while it is still being challenged. From there, Amina's supportive approach considers:
- Drainage and detoxification pathways, supported gently and in the right order
- Immune and nervous-system resilience through herbal medicine and nutrition
- Gut health, which underpins so much of detoxification and immunity
- Targeted testing where it adds clarity, such as mycotoxin and inflammatory markers
- Pacing and lifestyle, because recovery is rarely a straight line
Every plan is individualised, and herbs and nutrients are chosen for you, never from a template.
Working together
Most patients begin with a thorough initial consultation, online, by phone or in-clinic. From there you will have a clear, considered plan and ongoing review as you improve.
If you suspect your home or workplace has affected your health, you are not imagining it, and you are in the right place.
Common questions
Good to know
A classic allergy is an immediate IgE reaction. What Amina works with is broader: an ongoing inflammatory response to mould and its mycotoxins, sometimes called CIRS, that can affect many systems at once. It is supportive naturopathic care, not a diagnosis.
Often it helps. Where useful, Amina may suggest functional testing such as urinary mycotoxins or markers of inflammation, alongside a careful history of your home and work environments. Testing is always optional and chosen with you.
Yes. Removing the exposure is the essential first step, and from there naturopathic support focuses on the body's resilience, drainage and detoxification pathways and immune balance. Recovery varies from person to person.
Yes. Most mould-illness patients work with Amina online or by phone, from across Australia and internationally. In-clinic appointments in Pomona are available by arrangement.
