Essential Oils

Essential Oils

The most important factor in choosing essential oils is to make sure that they are 100% pure. There is no standardized grading system for essential oils, and no authority board in the anywhere in the world that oversees the oils. Some companies may refer to their products as “therapeutic grade” or “Grade A”, but they are simply assigning these to their own products and it is not overseen by any governing body.

When choosing the best essential oils, it all comes down to finding a trusted brand. And don’t be fooled the most expensive brand of oils is not always the best! Sometimes they are just higher priced. This is especially true if they come from companies who use a pyramid selling plan with local representatives. Buying your essential oils from trusted seller is probably the best and most affordable way to source them.

Here are some of the most popular essential oils that you can find on the market today. And there is a reason everyone loves them because they are amazing!

Cinnamon

Cinnamon

Cinnamon

Cinnamon is one of those herbs that have special healing powers not only in ancient Indian Ayurvedic treatment modalities but also in ancient Chinese, Greek healing methods. Cinnamon reminds us of Christmases past with its tantalizing scent that is so earthy and cozy. One cannot help to cuddle up with a mug of spiced apple cider with a real cinnamon stick inside on a cold winter’s night.  It conjures up great memories and is often used in many modern cooking recipes, and cocktail mixologists use cinnamon frequently when crafting their signature cocktails that will be ordered over and over again into the wee morning hours by party goers and drink connoisseurs alike.

Cinnamon has been used as an ingredient throughout history, dating back as far as Ancient Egypt. It used to be rare and valuable and was regarded as a gift fit for kings. These days, cinnamon is cheap, available in every supermarket and found as an ingredient in various foods and recipes. Cinnamon is made by cutting the stems of cinnamon trees. The inner bark is then extracted and the woody parts removed. When it dries, it forms strips that curl into rolls, called cinnamon sticks. These sticks can be ground to form cinnamon powder.

There are two main types of cinnamon:

Ceylon cinnamon: Also known as “true” cinnamon.

Cassia cinnamon: The more common variety today and what people generally refer to as “cinnamon.”

It Is Better to Use Ceylon (True Cinnamon)

Not all cinnamon is created equal. The Cassia variety contains significant amounts of a compound called Coumarin, which is believed to be harmful in large doses. All cinnamon should have health benefits, but Cassia may cause problems in large doses due to the Coumarin content. Ceylon (true cinnamon) is much better in this regard, and studies show that it’s much lower in Coumarin than the Cassia variety. Unfortunately, most cinnamon found in supermarkets is the cheaper Cassia variety.

The distinct smell and flavour of cinnamon are due to the oily part, which is very high in the compound Cinnamaldehyde. Cinnamaldehyde is more seen in Ceylon Cinnamon than Cassia Cinnamon. Scientists believe that this compound is responsible for most of cinnamon’s powerful effects on health and metabolism.

Cinnamon Is Loaded With Antioxidants

Antioxidants protect your body from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. Cinnamon is loaded with powerful antioxidants, Poly-phenols. In a study that compared the antioxidant activity of 26 spices, cinnamon wound up as the clear winner, even outranking “superfoods” like garlic and oregano. In fact, it is so powerful that cinnamon can be used as a natural food preservative.

Cinnamon Has Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Inflammation is incredibly important. It helps your body fight infections and repair tissue damage. However, inflammation can become a problem when it’s chronic and directed against your body’s own tissues. Cinnamon may be useful in this regard. Studies show that this spice has potent anti-inflammatory properties. Cinnamons have anti-inflammatory effects, which may help lower your risk of disease.

Cinnamon May Cut the Risk of Heart Disease

Cinnamon has been linked to a reduced risk of heart disease, the world’s most common cause of premature death. In people with type 2 diabetes, 1 gram or about half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to have beneficial effects on blood markers. Cinnamon reduces levels of total cholesterol, “bad” LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, while “good” HDL cholesterol remains stable. More recently, a big review study concluded that a cinnamon dose of just 1000 mg per day can have these effects. In this study, cinnamon also increased “good” HDL cholesterol levels. Cinnamon has been shown to reduce blood pressure. When combined, all these factors may drastically cut your risk of heart disease. Cinnamon may improve some key risk factors for heart disease, including cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure.

Cinnamon Can Improve Sensitivity to the Hormone Insulin

Insulin is one of the key hormones that regulate metabolism and energy use. It’s also essential for transporting blood sugar from your bloodstream to your cells. The problem is that many people are resistant to the effects of insulin. This is known as insulin resistance, a hallmark of serious conditions like metabolic syndrome and type 2 Diabetes.

The good news is that cinnamon can dramatically reduce insulin resistance, helping this important hormone do its job. By increasing insulin sensitivity, cinnamon can lower blood sugar levels. Cinnamon has been shown to significantly increase sensitivity to the hormone insulin.

Cinnamon Lowers Blood Sugar Levels and Has a Powerful Anti-Diabetic Effect

Cinnamon is well known for its blood-sugar-lowering properties. Apart from the beneficial effects on insulin resistance, cinnamon can lower blood sugar by several other mechanisms. First, cinnamon has been shown to decrease the amount of glucose that enters your bloodstream after a meal. It does this by interfering with numerous digestive enzymes, which slows the breakdown of carbohydrates in your digestive tract. Second, a compound in cinnamon can act on cells by mimicking insulin. This greatly improves glucose uptake by your cells, though it acts much slower than insulin itself. Numerous human studies have confirmed the anti-diabetic effects of cinnamon, showing that it can lower fasting blood sugar levels by 10–29%. The effective dose is typically 1–2 grams of cinnamon per day. Cinnamon has been shown to reduce fasting blood sugar levels, having a potent anti-diabetic effect at 1–2 grams per day.

Cinnamon May Have Beneficial Effects on Neurodegenerative Diseases

Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by progressive loss of the structure or function of brain cells. Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease are two of the most common types. Two compounds found in cinnamon appear to inhibit the build-up of a protein called tau in the brain, which is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. In a study in people with Parkinson’s disease, cinnamon helped protect neurons, normalized neurotransmitter levels and improved motor function. Cinnamon has been shown to lead to various improvements for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease

Cinnamon May Protect Against Cancer

Cancer is a serious disease, characterized by uncontrolled cell growth. Cinnamon has been widely studied for its potential use in cancer prevention and treatment. Overall, the evidence is limited to test-tube and animal studies, which suggest that Ceylon cinnamon extracts may protect against cancer. It acts by reducing the growth of cancer cells and the formation of blood vessels in tumors and appears to be toxic to cancer cells, causing cell death. A study in people with colon cancer revealed that cinnamon is a potent activator of detoxifying enzymes in the colon, protecting against further cancer growth.

Cinnamon Helps Fight Bacterial and Fungal Infections

Cinnamaldehyde, one of the main active components of cinnamon, may help fight various kinds of infection. Ceylon Cinnamon oil has been shown to effectively treat respiratory tract infections caused by fungi. It can also inhibit the growth of certain bacteria, including Listeria and Salmonella. The antimicrobial effects of cinnamon may also help prevent tooth decay and reduce bad breath Cinnamaldehyde has antifungal and antibacterial properties, which may reduce infections and help fight tooth decay and bad breath.

Cinnamon May Help Fight the HIV Virus

HIV is a virus that slowly breaks down your immune system, which can eventually lead to AIDS, if untreated. Cinnamon extracted from Ceylon varieties is thought to help fight against HIV-1, the most common strain of the HIV virus in humans. In laboratory studies looking at HIV-infected cells found that cinnamon was the most effective treatment of all 69 medicinal plants studied. Test-tube studies have shown that cinnamon can help fight HIV-1, the main type of HIV virus in humans.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an essential vitamin, also known as Ascorbic acid, is an essential nutrient that keeps the body functioning.  It has many roles in your body and has been linked to impressive health benefits. It is water-soluble Vitamin.

Benefits of vitamin C

Strong Antioxidant That May Reduce the Risk of Chronic Diseases

Vitamin C is a strong Anti-Oxidant that can strengthen your body’s natural defenses. Antioxidants are molecules that boost the immune system. They do so by protecting cells from harmful molecules called free radicals. When free radicals accumulate, they can promote a state known as Oxidative stress, which has been linked to many chronic diseases. Studies shows that consuming more vitamin C can increase your blood antioxidant levels by up to 30% this helps the body’s natural defenses fight inflammation.

May Help Battle High Blood Pressure

Approximately one-third of European adults have high blood pressure. High blood pressure puts you at risk of heart disease, the leading cause of death globally. Studies have shown that vitamin C may help lower blood pressure in those both with and without high blood pressure.  Studies shows that taking a vitamin C supplement helped relax the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart, which helped reduce blood pressure levels and found that taking a vitamin C reduced systolic blood pressure (upper value) by 3.84 mmHg to 4.85 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (lower value) by 1.48 mmHg to 1.67 mmHg in adults.

Fights Heart Disease Risk Factors, Potentially Lowering Heart Disease Risk

Heart disease is the number one cause of death worldwide. Many factors increase the risk of heart disease, including high blood pressure, high levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol, low levels of “good” HDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Vitamin C may help reduce these risk factors, which may reduce heart disease risk. In an analysis of nine studies with a combined 293,172 participants found that after 10 years, people who took at least 700 mg of vitamin C daily had a 25% lower risk of heart disease than those who did not take a vitamin C supplement. Interestingly, another analysis of 15 studies found that consuming vitamin C is lowering risk of heart disease. Another analysis of 13 studies looked at the impact of taking at least 500 mg/day of vitamin C on risk factors for heart disease, such as blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The Researches shows that taking a vitamin C supplement significantly reduced “bad” LDL cholesterol by approximately 7.9 mg/dl and blood triglycerides by 20.1 mg/dl.

Could Reduce Blood Uric Acid Levels and Help Prevent Gout Attacks

Gout is a type of arthritis that affects approximately 4% of adults. It is incredibly painful and involves inflammation of the joints, especially those of the big toes. People with gout experience swelling and sudden severe attacks of pain. Gout symptoms appear when there is too much uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is a waste product produced by the body. At high levels, it may crystallize and deposit in the joints. Interestingly, several studies have shown that vitamin C may help reduce uric acid in the blood and, as a result, protect against gout attacks. In a study of 1,387 men found that people who consumed the most vitamin C had significantly lower blood levels of uric acid than those who consumed the least. Another study followed 46,994 healthy men over 20 years to see if vitamin C intake was linked to developing gout. Interestingly, people who took a vitamin C supplement had a 44% lower gout risk. Additionally, an analysis of 13 clinical studies found that taking a vitamin C supplement over 30 days significantly reduced blood uric acid, compared to a placebo.

Helps Prevent Iron Deficiencies by Improving Iron Absorption

Iron is an important nutrient that has a variety of functions in the body. It is essential for making red blood cells and transporting oxygen throughout the body. Vitamin C can help improve the absorption of iron from the diet. Vitamin C assists in converting iron that is poorly absorbed, such as plant-based sources of iron, into a form that is easier to absorb. This is especially useful for people on a meat-free diet, as meat is a major source of iron. In fact, simply consuming 100 mg of vitamin C may improve iron absorption by 67%. As a result, vitamin C may help reduce the risk of anemia among people prone to iron deficiency. Researchers found that the supplement alone helped control their anemia.

Boosts Immunity by Helping White Blood Cells Function Better

One of the main reasons people take vitamin C is to boost their immunity. Vitamin C is involved in many parts of the immune system. First, vitamin C helps encourage the production of white blood cells known as lymphocytes and phagocytes, which help protect the body against infections. Second, vitamin C helps these white blood cells function more effectively while protecting them from damage by potentially harmful molecules, such as free radicals. Third, vitamin C is an essential part of the skin’s defense system. It is actively transported to the skin where it can act as an antioxidant and help strengthen the skin’s barriers. Studies have also shown that taking vitamin C may shorten wound healing time.

Protects Your Memory and Thinking as You Age

Dementia is a broad term used to describe symptoms of poor thinking and memory. It affects over 35 million people worldwide and typically occurs among older adults. Studies suggest that oxidative stress and inflammation near the brain, spine and nerves (altogether known as the central nervous system) can increase the risk of dementia. Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant. Low levels of this vitamin have been linked to an impaired ability to think and remember. Several studies have shown that people with dementia may have lower levels of vitamin C in the blood. Vitamin C intakes have been shown to have a protective effect on thinking and memory with age. Vitamin C may aid against conditions like dementia.

Prevents the common cold

Vitamin C appears to reduce the severity of colds and the recovery time by 8% in adults and 14% in children.

Reduces cancer risk

A handful of studies have linked vitamin C intake to a lower risk of several cancers.

Protects against eye diseases

Vitamin C has been linked to reduced risks of eye diseases like cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.

May treat lead toxicity

Although people with lead toxicity appear to have low vitamin C levels, there is strong evidence from human studies that shows vitamin C can treat lead toxicity.

VALERIAN

VALERIAN

VALERIAN

Valerian also known as all heal or garden heliotrope. Valerian is most commonly used for sleep disorders, especially the inability to sleep (insomnia). Valerian is also used orally for anxiety and psychological stress, but there is limited scientific research to support these uses.

How does it work?

Valerian seems to act like a sedative on the Brain and nervous system.

Uses & Effectiveness

Inability to Sleep (Insomnia):

Although research studies show that taking valerian can reduce the amount of time it takes to fall asleep by about 15 to 20 minutes. Valerian also seems to improve sleep quality. Doses of 400-900 mg of valerian taken up to 2 hours before bed seem to work best. Continuous use for several days, even up to four weeks, may be needed before an effect is noticeable. Taking valerian might also improve the sleep quality of people who are withdrawing from the use of sleeping pills.

Menopausal Symptoms:

Research shows that taking 675-1060 mg of valerian daily for 8 weeks can reduce the severity and frequency of hot flashes in postmenopausal women.

Anxiety:

There are strong evidences about the effectiveness of valerian for anxiety; research shows that taking valerian may reduce anxiety.

Depression:

Research suggests that taking valerian improves symptoms of depression. Taking 1000 mg of valerian improves depression symptoms faster than any other pills for treat depression.

Menstrual disorders (dysmenorrhoea):

Research suggests that taking 255 mg of valerian three times daily for two menstrual cycles reduces pain and the need for other pain relievers during menstruation.

Premenstrual disorders (PMS):

Research suggests that taking 255 mg of valerian three times daily for two menstrual cycles reduces pain and the need for other pain relievers during menstruation.

Restlessness:

Research suggests that taking one or two capsules of valerian once or twice daily might reduce symptoms of serious restlessness (dyssomnia)

Stress:

Research suggests that taking 600 mg of valerian for 7 days before a mental stress test reduces blood pressure, heart rate, and feelings of pressure when under stress. Other research found that taking 100 mg of valerian before speaking in front of an audience reduces feelings of anxiety. Another study found that taking a single dose of a combination product containing 360 mg of valerian and 240 mg of lemon balm night lower anxiety caused by stress. But the combination seems to increase anxiety when taken in larger doses of 1080 mg of valerian and 720 mg of lemon balm.

NEEM

NEEM

NEEM

The Neem has been recognized as possessing powerful health promoting properties for millennia. In fact, there is evidence that as long as 4,500 years ago, Neem was already being used to support healing. Its use originated in ancient India and neighbouring countries, where it has long been revered as one of the most versatile plants known. Even today, the Neem tree is esteemed as the “Village Dispensary”—every part of it known to possess unique therapeutic value. In Ayurveda, Neem is typically used to balance pitta and kapha. It’s cold, light, and dry qualities tend to aggravate vata. Neem is therefore often recommended in combination with other herbs that help subdue its vata-provoking nature.
