Defenses against Harmful Bacteria – Oregano, Thyme, Cinnamon & Clove

All the BIG GUNS at once. These four essential oils have a great defense against the growth and spread of Staph bacteria. All four essential oils are also traditional cooking spices. Make sure you share this with all your friends.

Provide a Strong and Varied Defense****************************
A good defense keeps the enemies wondering about your strength. Many fortresses have been successfully defended by periodically showing a strong defense. Most attacks by harmful bacteria are weak attacks. A single bacterial organism can replicate into two identical organisms in 20-30 minutes. One organism may seem harmless, maybe even two; but they just keep replicating by binary fission (forming two identical organism from one) until their numbers are significant.

Showing a strong defense from time to time can help fight off the large initial attacks. From time-to-time your human immune defenses become compromised by inadequate sleep, unhealthy diet, and poor physical conditioning. Fortunately, you can use a variety of defensive essential oils to keep a strong show of force.

These four essential oils remind me of the East High School football offensive line this past year. Ranked #1 in Utah and ranked 23rd nationally. The offensive line was massive. They moved as a unit. They held hands as they approached the defense. They looked like a solid wall. I would have been squashed by these guys. They knew they were going to win. That’s what these four essential oils are like – winners.

It’s time to unveil four of the most effective essential oils against the growth and spread of Staph bacteria.     Continue Reading Here

This essential oil will calm and soothe your physical and mental well-being

There are a lot of ways that people cope with stress, and some of these are healthier than others. Drowning your sorrows in vodka or heading to McDonald's and eating yourself into a food coma? Bad idea. Doing some yoga or exercising to melt away stress? Excellent approach – if you have the energy. However, what if you want to do something about your stress that is passive while still being good for you?

Aromatherapy can work wonders for stress, and the essential oils that are used all boast their own unique healing properties. One particularly powerful essential oil for relaxation is cedar wood essential oil. This oil is extracted from the cedar wood plant via steam distillation, and it contains a number of compounds that are beneficial to your well-being.

Relaxing and sedating effect

The oil's fresh and sweet aroma quickly brings about a sedating effect on the nervous system and a relaxing effect on your mind and body, making it a popular choice when you start to feel on edge. If you want to melt away tension and anxiety, try placing a few drops of the oil in your hand or a handkerchief and then bring it up to your nose. Inhale the aroma deeply for at least half a minute. Alternatively, you can opt to place the oil in an ultrasonic diffuser or humidifier to help circulate it throughout the room, carrying its soothing effects to all who enter your home or office.

Physical benefits of cedar wood oil

The benefits of this oil aren't just mental; it can also bring about a number of positive physical effects. Some people find that it can aid in mitigating hair loss. Massaging the hair regularly with this oil can boost the scalp's blood circulation and stimulate hair follicles, promoting hair that is strong and vibrant. You can add a few drops of it to your favorite shampoo or conditioner. Apply it evenly across your scalp and leave it in for half an hour before rinsing it out. You can do this once a week. The essential oil's astringent and anti-seborrheic properties also make it well suited for dealing with scalp itchiness and dandruff.

Cedar wood oil's incredible anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties make it ideal for treating skin problems related to acne and eczema, such as peeling, redness, inflammation and itchiness. You can add a few drops of it to your usual moisturizer or mix it with a carrier oil like almond, jojoba or avocado and apply it on the affected area to improve your complexion. Those with oily skin can even add it to their regular cleanser or cream to help keep the problem under control.

People who suffer from arthritis report that the oil also has a soothing effect on symptoms like joint inflammation and pain as well as muscle soreness. The best way to get the benefits is to blend a few drops of it with a tablespoon of a carrier oil such as coconut oil and then massage it into the painful area. Because the oil is also a mucolytic and expectorant, it is even sometimes used to help alleviate congestion and bronchial infections.

You might not be able to avoid stress entirely, but thanks to essential oils like cedar wood, you can soothe yourself physically and mentally without putting your health at risk.

Exploring Citrus Oils - Lowest Quality Synthetic Grade

Today's post will help you understand how some companies label ORANGE oil on cleaning products (as if it's a miracle molecule). They do NOT use the high quality Genuine Grade Orange oil that you have. They use Synthetic or Manipulated Grades of Orange Oil. This post deals with SYNTHETIC Orange oil.

The most abundant molecule in Orange oil is D-Limonene. D-Limonene makes up 95% of Orange oil.

The manufacturers of cleaning products has 2 choices: Synthetic D-Limonene or Extracted D-Limonene from natural oils.

SYNTHETIC D-Limonene
D-Limonene can me made in chemical factories from refined petroleum chemicals. They are often referred to as "D-Limonene Solvent", "D-Limonene Cleaner", or "D-Limonene Degreaser".

D-Limonene is also known as R-(+)-Limonene. It's aroma is: "fresh, citrus, orange-like".

There is another Limonene molecule that is the mirror image of D-Limonene; it's called L-Limonene or S-(-)-Limonene. The aroma of L-Limonene is: "harsh, turpentine-like, lemon note."

There are synthetic versions of both D-Limonene and L-Limonene. These are not to be mistaken for natural Orange oil. Sometimes companies market them as "Orange oil". This is rock-bottom Synthetic Grade Orange oil. Beware!!!!

Natural Way To Ease Morning Sickness: Lemon Essential Oil

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy are amongst the most common complaints that effects on both the physical and mental conditions of the pregnant women. Due to the increasing tendency of women to use herbal medications during pregnancy, the effect of lemon inhalation aromatherapy on nausea and vomiting of pregnancy was investigated in this study.

OBJECTIVES:

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of lemon inhalation aromatherapy on nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.

MATERIALS  AND METHODS This was a randomized clinical trial in which 100 pregnant women with nausea and vomiting who had eligibility criteria were randomly divided into intervention and control groups based on four- and six-random block sampling method. Lemon essential oil and placebo were given to the intervention and control groups, respectively, to inhale it as soon as they felt nausea. The nausea, vomiting, and retch intensity were investigated 24 hours before and during the four days of treatment by means of PUQE-24 (24-hour Pregnancy Unique Quantification of Emesis).

RESULTS:

There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in the mean scores of nausea and vomiting on the second and fourth days (P = 0.017 and P = 0.039, respectively). The means of nausea and vomiting intensity in the second and fourth days in the intervention group were significantly lower than the control group. In addition, in intragroup comparison with ANOVA with repeated measures, the nausea and vomiting mean in the five intervals, showed a statistically significant difference in each group (P < 0.001 and P = 0.049, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS:

Lemon scent can be effective in reducing nausea and vomiting of pregnancy.

Study Finds Thyme Essential Oil Beats Ibuprofen for Pain Relief

Researchers from Iran’s Babol University of Medical Sciences has confirmed that thyme is not only an excellent pain-relieving herb. It also reduces pain of difficult menstruation better than ibruprofen.

The researchers tested 84 women university students who had reported difficult menstruation. The young women were aged between 18 and 24 years old. All were suffering from primary dysmenorrhea.

Primary dysmenorrhea is usually defined as painful cramping that may or may not come with other symptoms such as back ache, nausea, headaches and dizziness. Secondary dysmenorrhea usually indicates menses pain that is related to another underlying condition.

Here the researchers added to the definition of primary dysmenorrhea that it appears within two years of the beginning of menses (menarche) and no pelvic pain during the other parts of the monthly cycle. This is logical because painful menses is more frequently seen among younger women within the first few years of the beginning of menses.

The researchers divided the students into three groups of 28 each.

Group one was given 200 milligrams of ibuprofen per dose plus 25 drops of a placebo essential oil.

Group two was given 25 drops of essential oil of thyme (Thymus vulgaris) plus a placebo capsule per dose.

Group three was given 25 drops of the placebo essential oil plus the placebo capsule.

Each subject was instructed to begin the treatment on the first day of menstruation, with a dose every six hours.

Pain intensity was recorded at the beginning before treatment was started, and an hour after each dose and 24 and 48 hours after they began the treatment. They also were asked to rate their blood flow.

The visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to rate their pain intensity. The thyme essential oil group’s average pain scores went from 6.57 prior to treatment to 1.21 during the first menstrual cycle tested, and 1.14 during the second menstrual cycle.

Meanwhile, the ibuprofen group’s pain scores went from 5.30 to 1.48 in the first cycle and 1.68 during the second menstrual cycle.

The thyme result indicates that while the thyme oil’s therapeutic effects continued for the women through the second cycle, the ibuprofen’s pain-relieving effects were decreased during the second cycle.

Natural Options Show Ability To Combat Enterovirus Outbreak

A growing number of children across the United States are being admitted to the hospital due to severe respiratory infections. Andaccording to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention the cause is an outbreak of an uncommon strain of the enterovirus — EV-D68.

EV-D68 was first isolated in California in 1962, and primarily causes a mild to severe respiratory illness, although it is also associated with febrile rash illness, and neurological illnesses — meningitis and encephalitis. Currently, there are no known antiviralmedications to treat EV-D68, nor a vaccine to prevent it. Many infections are self-limiting and require only the management of symptoms; however, some cases require hospitalization and treatment in an intensive care unit.

With no viable treatment options from Western medicine, many parents are concerned about their children’s health and the possibility of being infected with EV-D68. As is often the case, Mother Nature has provided a possible answer to what ails us — antiviral essential oils and extracts.

In 2012, Tunisian researchers investigated the activity of eight eucalyptus species against several pathogenic organisms. The researchers concluded that eucalyptus oils that are rich in the compound 1,8-cineole “may serve as potential candidates against enterovirus infections.” Their research was published in the June 2012 edition of BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

Eucalyptus globulus is commonly used to produce essential oil and contains up to 83 percent 1,8-cineole (also known as eucalyptol). Steam inhalation or diffusion of eucalyptus may allow essential oil particles to enter the lung and respiratory system to combat enteroviruses. In addition, the topical application of eucalyptus on the chest and back may support normal respiratory system function. Eucalyptus should not be used by those with epilepsy, or on children under age six — very rarely, children under age six could experience respiratory distress or central nervous system problems with eucalyptus.

What are Essential Oils....in a Nut Shell.

Essential Oil Basics

Essential oils are the vital fluids of plants, or one may call it their “life blood”. The reason the word “essential” is used is because this is what is necessary for this plant to have life.

Essential oils are made up of tiny molecules. These molecules are so small that they can make their way into every cell and basically administer therapy at the most fundamental levels of our body.

Every drop of oil contains 40 million-trillion molecules. One drop has 40,000 times the amount of molecules we have in our bodies. Therefore, you do not have to use a lot of oil to get results. As a matter of fact, you could use too much and overload the receptor sites. Less is better in most cases.
Most essential oil molecules are made up of three different compounds. They are phenols, monoterpenes, and sesquiterpenes.

Phenols create conditions where unfriendly viruses and bacteria cannot live. Their most important feature is that they clean the receptor sites on the cells. If your receptor sites are not clean, cells can not communicate and sickness results.

Monoterpenes are found in most essential oils and they offer a variety of healing properties. The most important ability of this compound is the fact that they can reprogram miswritten information in the cellular memory, or DNA. If you have improper coding in your DNA, what happens? Cells malfunction and diseases result, including cancer.

PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THIS NEXT PARAGRAPH!

Sesquiterpenes deliver oxygen molecules to cells, just like hemoglobin does in the blood. Sesquiterpenes can also erase or deprogram miswritten codes in cellular memory. They are thought to be really great for fighting cancer. The main issue with cancer cells is that they contain misinformation, and sesquiterpenes can delete that. At the same time the misinformation gets deleted, the oxygen carried by these molecules create an environment where cancer cells can not reproduce. One disables and the other stops growth!

Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils and Young Living .....what does this mean?

The term "therapeutic grade" is a term many essential oil suppliers use when describing their oils. However, the term was first used by Young Living to communicate/differentiate that their oils were of medicinal use, and not to be confused with oils available at a retail store or health food store, and those of cosmetic or strictly "air fresheners." The term "therapeutic grade" is not an FDA term, as the FDA does not monitor, inspect, or patent any essential oil. They cannot patent an all-natural product. So, how do you know what caliber of essential oil you get with Young Living?

1. Young Living has been in the business for 20+ years with satisfied customers, a reputation for unsurpassed quality, and cutting edge research and product innovation.

2. Young Living is a full disclosure company. Any distributor can go to one of their farms and participate in planting, harvesting, and distilling the oils. They are open about the process. The company will answer questions and provide documentation about the purity, safety, and effectiveness of their products on request.

3. It takes deliberate and knowledgeable oversight of all areas of oil production in order to know the value of what you are selling. So if a producer is making a high quality oil, they are not going to sell it to someone only willing to pay bottom dollar for it. That is a major reason why warning bells should go off in your head when you see essential oils at bargain basement prices. No producer would sell a high quality oil to a distributor for a cheap price when they know they could easily get more money for it.

4. Plant: You should first consider what is the source of the oil? Is it a synthetic oil created in a lab? Is the oil from the correct breed of plant? For example, did you know that there is more than one species of lavender and that only Lavandula Augustifolia provides the famed results that most people associate as lavender? Many companies sell Lavandin, which is a hybrid version of lavender, and they label it as lavender, and it does not provide the same benefits as Lavandula Augustifolia. Make sure you can see the latin name of any plant on your oils to ensure that you are getting the correct plant’s oil. Another example is clove bud oil vs. clove leaf or clove stem oil. Clove buds yield less oil than clove leaf and clove stems, but the properties of the oil from the buds is different from the oil from the stems and leaves. However, the oil from the leaves/stems has a higher potential to be irritating than oil from the bud. And would you believe, they smell EXACTLY the same? So read your labels! Do your research. Make sure, if you decide to try Young Living essential oils, that you communicate with and engage with someone who has at least a working knowledge of essential oils, and a network of people responsive and educated about therapeutic essential oils. (if an oil contains 5 to 8 % purity, it can legally be labeled as "pure)." Don't let the claim of "Pure" confuse you. And, don't let the term "therapeutic grade" confuse you. Many companies can say that as it isn't monitored, but not many can back it up with testing, labs, education, and oversight (not to mention feedback and responsiveness).

5. Preparation: In order to provide therapeutic benefits, each specific plant has to be distilled at its own pressure, its own temperature, in its own method and for a precise time. Any deviation from the specific method, and the oil can be completely useless. This requires expert attention and capable equipment. The ability to do this requires huge investments and a commitment to purity on the companies part. Anyone can purchase oils from a broker and then resell them, but it takes someone with experience and equipment to ensure that the oils that they grow and that they purchase actually provide the benefits that they are supposed to provide. It is worth noting, that some essential oil companies distill the plant material more than one time. The first distillation is the one that provides the highest quality oil. Each subsequent distillation provides a lower quality oil than the time before. There is no requirement to disclose what distillation the oil you are buying is from. Know your company before you buy. Young Living uses only the first distillation in bottled and sealed essential oils.

6. Purity: "Adulteration" is the buzzword in the oiling community these days with companies accusing each other of adulterating their oils. Did you know that many companies use solvents to help the plant matter to release more essential oils? These solvents are often caustic and toxic chemicals, and while the companies say that they remove the solvents after distillation, once it is in the oil, imagine how difficult it would be to remove every bit of solvent. Some, even a small amount or trace amount, would likely remain. One of the wonderful properties of essential oils is that, because they permeate cell walls more efficiently than other molecules, they can also carry anything that they are with deep into the body as well. This is why we always suggest a high grade, virgin, unrefined carrier oil when diluting essential oils from Young Living. When the oils are with a nutrient of benefit to the body, this is great. Unfortunately, when the oils are adulterated, they then can also carry the adulterant (in this case the solvent) deep into the body as well. Additionally, synthetic extenders are frequently added to stretch an authentic oil and can smell similar to the real thing. Every batch of Young Living oil is tested for purity. They test for pesticides, heavy metals, dioxins, along with adulterants so that you can be assured that every bottle of oil is truly pure. Imagine how long the company would have survived otherwise. Sure, you can purchase bottles that say pure, or therapeutic grade at a health food store, or the vitamin shop. They aren't the same product as Young Living essential oils. Not even close. I wouldn't dare use them the way I use YL oils, and I certainly would never consider ingesting them for any specific need. No way.

7. Potency: In order for the oils to have a therapeutic use, all of the active components must be in the oil. The oils must be prepared properly in order for them to be potent, (aka have any power to work on the body). Young Living ensures all batches are tested to ensure that all the essential components are in the oil before they bottle and send it on to the consumer. If a batch fails to meet the Young Living standard, they WILL NOT bottle or sell it. If an oil goes out of stock due to demand, or due to not distilling at the highest quality, then it just goes out of stock. That's Young Living's choice as a company, and it's a choice that gives me confidence in their products. Other essential oil companies that possibly do not have the consumer base or the company strength of Young Living have been known to bottle and sell what should be a rejected batch. Remember, only 5 to 8 % purity is required to claim "purity." Therefore a company might well think 85% purity is good enough for them; but not Young Living. And, I am very thankful for that. Whether I personally choose to use essential oils topically, aromatically.

Frankincense Superior to Chemotherapy in Killing Late-Stage Ovarian Cancer Cells

Like the Magi, carrying myrrh, frankincense, and gold, researchers from the University of Leicesterhave, for the first time, demonstrated the potential of treating ovarian cancer using the Christmas gift frankincense.

The origins of frankincense can be traced to the Arabian Peninsula. According to Herodotus (5th century BC):

Arabia is the only country which produces frankincense, myrrh, cassia, and cinnamon.. the trees bearing the frankincense are guarded by winged serpents of small size and various colors. (See this GreenMedInfo Summary)

Frankincense, along with gold and myrrh, is one of the most famous Christmas presents in history, and is a fragrant plant resin extracted from the Boswellia sacra tree found across Africa and Arabia. Using the compound AKBA (acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid) derived from the resin, the research has successfully shown its potential effectiveness in targeting ovarian cancer.

More specifically, they have been able to demonstrate the ability of AKBA to combat cancer cells in late-stage ovarian cancer.

Lead researcher Kamla Al-Salmani, PhD student from the University's Department of Cancer Studies and Molecular Medicine explained:

After a year of studying the AKBA compound with ovarian cancer cell lines in vitro, we have been able to show it is effective at killing the cancer cells.  Frankincense is taken by many people with no known side effects. This finding has enormous potential to be taken to a clinical trial in the future and developed into an additional treatment for ovarian cancer.

Frankincense has been used as a folk medicine for centuries due to its anti-inflammatory properties, making it a viable treatment for asthma, skin conditions and gastroenteritis among others. Previous studies have also successfully linked AKBA as a potential treatment for many other cancers, including colon, breast and prostate cancer; however this is the first study to demonstrate its potential in combating ovarian cancer.

The researchers have shown that this frankincense compound is effective at killing ovarian cancercells at realistic concentrations. What has been most surprising is that the cells we have tested which are resistant to chemotherapy have shown to be more sensitive to this compound, suggesting frankincense may indeed be able to help overcome drug resistance, and lead to an improved survival rate for patients with late-stage ovarian cancer.

Health Benefits of Wintergreen Essential Oil

The health benefits of Wintergreen Essential Oil can be attributed to its properties as an analgesic, anodyne, antirheumatic, antiarthritic, antispasmodic, antiseptic, aromatic, astringent, carminative, diuretic, emenagogue and stimulating substance.

The oil of wintergreen is a world famous name, and it is extremely popular with the people suffering from rheumatism, arthritis, gout and pain in their bones and joints from any number of reasons. This oil can usually be found in every household because it has so many common applications. Wintergreen is a tree native to North America and it is believed to have been Native Americans who discovered the use of its oil to eliminate pain in the muscles and joints.

The botanical name of this shrub is Gaultheria Procumbens. The essential oil of this plant is extracted by steam distillation of its leaves. Menthyl Salicylate and Gaultherilene are the two main components of this essential oil and Menthyl Salicylate forms an integral part of almost every antiarthritic and analgesic balm for muscle and joint pain that is available on the market.

Let us quickly examine some of the most notable medicinal properties of this highly poisonous, yet very useful, essential oil.

Analgesic: I doubt that I need to introduce this property of Wintergreen essential oil to anyone, since it is one of the major properties for which it is known around the world. When rubbed on the affected area, this oil is readily absorbed through the skin and the presence of Menthyl Salicylate induces numbness and an anesthetic effect on the nerves there. It also increases circulation of the blood and brings warmth to the area. In this way, it fights pain.

Anodyne: This property means that an agent can eliminate pain and induce relaxation. Therefore, it is a combination of an analgesic and a relaxant. Wintergreen essential oil will eradicate pain and drive out stress and tension. This is a very pleasant way of getting a sound sleep at the end of the day for those who often lose sleep due to pain or stress.

Antirheumatic & Antiarthritic: These characteristics of the essential oil of wintergreen are based on the stimulating property of this oil. This oil fights rheumatism and arthritis in two ways. First, when applied externally, it easily penetrates through the skin around the muscles and tissues and stimulates circulation of blood in that location. This activity, apart from bringing warmth to the affected area, helps to clear obstructions in the flow of blood, which is one of the major causes behind rheumatism and arthritis, and it does not let toxins like uric acid accumulate at that spot. Secondly, although it is absorbed through the skin, it eventually reaches the blood stream, where it stimulates and increases urination, acting as a diuretic. This speeds up the removal of toxins like uric acid from the body through urination. The removal of excess water, fats and salts through urine helps lose weight, which also reduces the effects of rheumatic conditions.

                  

Antispasmodic: The relaxing and stimulating effect of this oil reduces spasms in the respiratory, muscular, digestive and nervous systems, while providing relief from congestion in the chest, breathing trouble, asthma, spasmodic coughs, muscular cramps, digestive disorders, spasmodic diarrhea, convulsions and various nervous afflictions.

Antiseptic: The high degree of toxicity of this oil can make it fatal to human beings, but that means that it is fatal to bacteria and other microbes such a virus, fungi and protozoa as well. This quality is utilized to fight infection that causes sepsis. It also kills the bacteria Staphylococcus Aureus and cures sepsis. However, care should be taken to avoid direct contact with blood and it should never be applied to open wounds. Neither should it be taken orally to fight sepsis in the internal organs. Just applying this oil on the skin will be enough, as it will easily penetrate the skin, be absorbed by the tissues and will then be absorbed in the blood stream, thus spreading into the internal organs as well.

Aromatic: Although it has a pungent aroma, it is not unpleasant.  In certain cases, it can be used to overcome or mask foul smells, but this oil is not for regular application, as it is quite powerful.

Astringent: Astringents like the essential oil of wintergreen has a lot to offer. It induces contractions in muscle tissue, skin, blood vessels and hair roots. This results in the contraction of muscles and skin which adds firmness to the muscles and lift to the skin, making you feel better and look younger. When it comes to blood vessels, this contraction helps to curb hemorrhaging from wounded or impacted vessels. The hair roots are also contracted and strengthened by this astringent effect. I have deliberately not mentioned its effects on the gums since it should never be taken orally, under any circumstances.

Carminative: You may want to enjoy its carminative effects, but never take this oil orally, even in very light dilutions. Instead, once it is diluted in water, it can be rubbed on the belly which will eventually expel the gases.
