Fighting depression without medication

Lately the word depression has been the buzz word, I hear it at work, I hear it from friends and family...and I say NO MORE!  Bergamot Essential Oil is your natural cure... below are some interesting facts about this wonderful citric Essential Oil

Bergamot (Citrus Bergamia)

Native to Morocco, it wasn't until Bergamot rooted in Italy , that its essential properties were recognized
Bergamot essential oil has the benefits of bringing peace to the nervous system in a gentle natural way.


Most people have tasted and smell bergamot in Earl Grey tea. The uplifting citric scent of bergamot is taken from the pear shaped fruit rind. Bergamot (citrus bergamia), a hybrid of orange and lemon, has antidepressant properties. In the book, Aromatherapy: the A-Z Guide to Healing with Essential Oils, Shelagh R. Masline and Barbara Close, state the natural benefits bergamot essential oil has in treating depression, anxiety, stress, and PMS.

Melissa, not just a name.....

When I first heard of the Melissa Bath Essence, I thought it was named after the SwissJust owner's daughter's name or something... oh boy I was so wrong!  Melissa is actually an herb.... and what an herb it is! It has become, mine, and my two boys and our bathtub's best friend!! 

I put a few little drops of this wonderful bath essence into their bath's water, and they sleep like perfect little angels...yesssss!!

I found out more on Melissa for all of you as well...

MELISSA

Melissa officianalis, Certified Organic, Steam Distilled, English, leaves

Probably the most rare herbal essential oil is that distilled from the common Lemon Balm.

The high price of true Melissa is because, although the plant is easy to grow, it takes approximately THREE tons of plant material to yield 1/2 kilo of the essential oil.

A product of a favorite British distiller, this light, clear lemony oil is a delight to the senses and the emotions.

Its aroma is clear and icy-cool. Clean, not medicinal or citronella murky.

Uses? Medicinally Melissa essential oil has been confirmed to have powerful anti-viral properties. Studies in Germany indicate it is useful against various strains of flu virus, herpes, smallpox and mumps. Tisserand cites research indicating that Melissa blended with Rose Otto is effective against both shingles and cold sores. He recommends that adults apply the Melissa EO neat to cold sores, however it is an irritant, so you might want to try a dilution.

Melissa is also recommended for treatment of both nausea and indigestion, especially when they are caused by nervous tension. Some authorities say that it slows the heart beat, relieving palpitations and helps lower blood pressure. Blended with geranium, it may help ease painful periods.

Many sources recommend using Melissa to treat both acne, and allergic skin problems, but due to the irritating nature of the essential oil,it the hydrosol is recommended for skincare purposes.

Agitation - Dementia: A recent study quoted in the Journal of Complimentary Medicine showed that Melissa Essential oil is a safe and effective treatment for the management of agitation in severe dementia.  The study indicates that true pure melissa oil significantly reduced agitation and has important quality of life benefits.  Use of a Melissa herbal extract in a study of patients with mild to moderate Attention Deficit Disorder experienced significant benefits in cognition after 16 weeks of treatment.  Whether the same benefits would occur with use of the essential oil is unknown.

Emotionally, Melissa is a delight. It is a mild sedative in small doses, and believed to calm anxiety. Both calming and uplifting, Melissa Essential oil is said to be extremely useful in cases of emotional shock, grief, fear and anger. It is said to bring acceptance and understanding. Some say it helps in dealing with past lives (?).


WARNING: Melissa Essential Oil is a strong skin irritant, and needs to be used in VERY low dilutions. I would limit it to approximately five drops per ounce of carrier, or two to three drops in a bath

We have Melissa available in a Bath Essence which has a dramatic effect when used directly in water, but the beauty of the bath essence is that it can also be used with the Almond Carrier Cream and Almond Carrier Oil for use in massage. A bottle of the Melissa can last you up to 6 months!

Peace, Love aaaaaaaaand Aromatherapy Folks!

Uses of Eucalyptus Oil and the Uses of Lavender Oil

Soooo, I had a team training session with my lovely Team Leaders Susana and Laura on Thursday. LEARNED SO MUCH!!! (sorry Susana if I was asking soo many questions!!)

Anyway, next months it will be at my humble abode, and I can't wait!
 Susana left us all some homework though for next month's meeting, she wanted us to compile the Uses and Benefits of Eucalyptus and Lavender Oils, so here you go Susana!!!

 Eucalyptus:

Due to the medicinal uses of Eucalyptus Oil and the compound eucalyptol present in it, it is used in a variety of over the counter drugs including rubs, inhalers, liniments, rash creams, and mouthwashes. The health benefits of eucalyptus oil include the following:


Respiratory Problems: Eucalyptus essential oil is effective for treating a number of respiratory problems including cold, cough, running nose, sore throat, asthma, nasal congestion, bronchitis and sinusitis. Eucalyptus oil is antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial, antiviral, anti inflammatory and decongestant in nature which makes it a good ingredient for many medicines for treating respiratory problems. A study published in Laryngoscope in 2004 shows its usefulness in treating non-bacterial sinusitis. Patients suffering from non-bacterial sinusitis showed faster improvement when given medicines containing eucalyptus oil. Gargles of eucalyptus oil mixed with warm water are effective on treating sore throat.




Wounds: Eucalyptus essential oil is a good antiseptic owing to its germicidal properties. On its exposure to air, ozone is formed which is a well-known antiseptic. Hence eucalyptus oil is used for healing wounds, ulcers, burns, cuts, abrasions and sores. It is also effective on insect bites and stings.




Muscle Pain: During muscle and joint pains, massaging eucalyptus oil on the skin surface helps in getting relief from the pain. The volatile eucalyptus oil is analgesic and anti inflammatory in nature. Therefore it is often recommended to patients suffering from rheumatism, lumbago, sprained ligaments and tendons, stiff muscles, aches, fibrosis and even nerve pain. The oil is massage in circular motion on affected areas.


Mental Exhaustion: An important reason why people like using eucalyptus oil is that it provides a cooling and refreshing effect. Normally people suffering from any disorder are down. Eucalyptus oil, which is stimulating, removes exhaustion and mental sluggishness and rejuvenates the spirits of the sick. It is also effective in treating stress and mental disorders.


Dental Care: Eucalyptus essential oil is very effective against cavities, dental plaques, gingivitis and other dental infections due to its germicidal properties.


Skin Care: Eucalyptus oil is often applied topically to treat skin infections.


Diabetes: Eucalyptus oil when taken internally controls blood sugar.


Fever: It is also used for treating fever and reducing the body temperature. Therefore it is also called fever oil.

Intestinal Germs: Eucalyptus oil is a vermifuge and hence is used to remove germs in the intestine.


Other benefits of eucalyptus oil include the following:


Room Freshener: The antiseptic and deodorant nature of eucalyptus oil makes it a perfect room freshener for hospitals and sickbed atmosphere. It also kills bacteria and germs in the air and hence keeps the room environment clean.


Soaps: Eucalyptus oil has applications in soaps, detergents and household cleaners as well.


Mouth Wash: As mentioned above, the oil is a prime ingredient in many mouthwashes and toothpastes.


Sauna: Many people add eucalyptus oil to baths, spas and saunas due to its refreshing and antiseptic effect.


Usage of eucalyptus oil in aromatherapy is increasing gradually as it also blends well with many other essential oils including thyme essential oil, rosemary essential oil, marjoram essential oil, lavender essential oil, cedarwood essential oil, frankincense essential oil, etc.


One should take care while using eucalyptus oil. If taken in large quantities, eucalyptus oil is toxic. It may also interfere with homeopathic treatments.

 Lavender:

Lavender Oil Properties:

Antidepressant
Analgesic
Antiseptic
Cicatrizant
Expectorant
Nervine
Vulnerary


Especially beneficial to the respiratory tract in particular coughs, colds, influenza. Certainly eases breathing when lungs and sinuses are choked with phlegm.

Defends system against airborne viruses.


A refreshing note to a tired mind – lavender has been named as one of the most useful of the essences for the relief of anxiety and stress.


Good for aches and pains and muscle stiffness and may also help with rheumatic discomfort and joint
stiffness.


The cicatrizant properties of lavender oil are beneficial to healing of wounds including all types of burns and even treatment of eczema, dermatitis, scabies and psoriasis.

Avoid in pregnancy, epilepsy and fever.


Lavender - Remedy for many health problems


Aching Muscles


If you’ve spent a back-breaking afternoon in the garden, jump into a lavender bath to soothe aches & pains away. Apply Salts & a few drops of Lavender Oil to the bath and soak away the tension.


Acne

Lavender is one of the most valuable oils for the treatment of acne, according to aromatherapists. “It inhibits the bacteria that cause the skin infection, helps to rebalance the over-secretion of sebum, which the bacteria thrive on, and reduce scarring”. Add a few drops of lavender oil to a plain cream sold by chemists and use as a moisturizer or cleanser.


Bugs & Bacteria


French laboratory studies in the early 20th century showed that lavender is a powerful antibacterial in dilutions of 5 per cent or less it is lethal to bacteria that cause typhoid, TB & diphtheria. Combined with Lemon Balm, for its clinically tested anti-viral properties.


Burns (minor)


After you have cooled the area by immersing it in running cold water for 5 minutes, gently stroke on neat lavender oil. Pain relief is almost immediate, and burn usually heals without scarring.


Cuts & Wounds


Apply lavender oil to sooth pain, prevent bacterial infection and aid scar-free healing. Apply neat.


Earache

Warm a bottle of lavender oil in hot water for a minute or two, then gently massage a few drops into the skin around the ears and throat. For babies & small children, add 2-3 drops of the warmed oil to a little olive oil and massage in the same way.


Eczema


Stroke infused lavender oil (a few drops of lavender oil &carrier oil) into dry, itchy skin—small children will find this especially comforting or add a few drops of lavender oil to calamine lotion, shake before use.


Fatigue


Add 5 drops of lavender oil to a hot foot bath and relax while your feet soak in it. The soles of the feet are particularly porous, so lavender reaches your bloodstream very quickly, exerting its stimulating and soothing effects on various systems of your body.


Fevers

For babies or small children, sponge them down very gently with tepid water to which you have added a drop of lavender oil. Take care not to let them get chilled. This works for adults too.


Giddy Spells, Faintness or Pulpitations


Make your own smelling salts—sea salt , lavender oil, peppermint oil & basil oil.

Headache

Make a compress of a piece of cause or muslin soaked in icy cold water then sprinkled with a few drops of lavender oil and apply to the forehead, or massage a few drops into the forehead, temples and nape of the neck.


Insomnia

In a number of small studies, elderly psychiatric patients have been shown to sleep better and be more alert during the day when their sleep medication is replaced with lavender oil either dropped on their pillows, or placed in a diffuser on the ward. To help to induce sleep, put 3 or 4 drops of lavender oil on your pillow.


For babies, add 1 drop of lavender oil & geranium oil in carrier oil and massage into a babies back or a few drops in their bedtime bath.


Long-Haul Travel

Combine lavender, rosemary, Neroli, & sage, into your hand luggage and roll it over your pulse points to help you keep a clear head during those endless hours in the air.


Menstrual Cramps


Massage a few drops of lavender oil into your lower abdomen or apply a hot compress onto the area, which a little lavender oil has been sprinkled.


Moths,Midges & Mosquitos

These annoying little insects all hate the smell of lavender. To prevent bites, splash yourself with lavender before you go out at sunset or to bed, put 3-4 drops of oil on your pillow or soak cotton wool ball in the oil and leave it on a saucer in front of the window. Lavender oil is also a terrific remedy for insect bites, soothing itching & inflammation: dab it on to them neat as soon as possible. To keep moths off your clothes, hand lavender bags on you coat hangers or keep them among your sweaters and refresh them with a drop or two of lavender oil from time to time.


Scabies
This infestation by a tiny mite burrowing into your skin causes intense itching. Rub the whole body with neat lavender oil, then following every day until better with a mixture of lavender oil and alcohol. Change and wash bedding and clothes and sprinkle lavender oil on the mattress.


Shingles
Combine a mix of lavender oil with, analgesic, antiviral & scar preventing essential oils neat or on compresses on the agonizing lesions of shingles. It usually produces a cure within 5-8 days.


Sinusitis
Lavender is one of several essential oils that aromatherapists recommend for inhalations to relieve sinusitis, add two drops of lavender & thyme oil to a bowl of near-steaming water and inhale slowly and deeply, with a towel over your head & bowl.

Stress & Anxiety


Keep a spritzer of Lavender with water handy to spray on your face during the day, or apply lavender oil neat to your temples.

Sunburn


Add 8 drops of lavender oil and 4 drops of peppermint oil to a teaspoon of jojoba oil. Pour it into a cool-to-lukewarm bath and soak for 10 minutes

Sandalwood...the Aphrodisiac.....eeeeeh!

At today's Wellness Gathering, the hostess asked me about Sandalwood. I told her that it was an aphrodisiac and her face lit up :-) I promised her I would find out what else it could be used for other than that it also makes your hair super shiny....so here's what I found:

Therapeutic properties



The therapeutic properties of sandalwood oil are antiphlogistic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, astringent, carminative, diuretic, emollient, expectorant, sedative and tonic.


Uses


This relaxing oil has a harmonizing and calming effect which reduces tension and confusion and is ideal for use in depression, hectic daily lifestyles and states of fear, stress, nervous exhaustion, chronic illness and anxiety.

It is very useful for any chest complaints as it has a pronounced effect on the mucus membranes of both the pulmonary as well as genito-urinary tract - making it very effective for complaints of the urinary tract as well.

Chronic chest infections, sore throats and dry coughs as well as bronchitis and asthma can benefit greatly from this oil, as well as cystitis and bladder infections, also helpful with sexual problems such as frigidity and impotence.


On the skin, sandalwood oil relieves itching and inflammation of the skin, and is most effective in relieving dehydrated skin - making it great for anti-ageing skincare - and the astringent action has a great toning effect and is also used with great results in oily skin conditions and to prevent the skin from forming ugly scars and for fighting dry eczema.

Summary
Sandalwood oil can be helpful for the nervous system, for chest and urinary tract infections, for sexual problems and for skin care.

Burners and vaporizers
In vapor therapy, sandalwood oil can be used for its aphrodisiac effect, to help clear bronchitis, coughs, chest infections, asthma, insomnia, irritability, nervous tension, stress, tension, for relaxing and as an insect repellant.


Blended massage oil or in the bath
As a blended massage oil or diluted in the bath, sandalwood oil can assist with bladder infections as well as chest infections and bronchitis, coughs, dry eczema, insomnia, forming scar tissue, irritability, nervous tension, stress, tension, as an aphrodisiac and for relaxing.


Gargle
It can be effective when diluted and used as a gargle for a sore or dry throat.


Lotions or creams

When used in a lotion or cream sandalwood oil can assist with chapped, dry or inflamed skin and has wonderful moisturizing and hydrating properties, which are great for anti-ageing skincare. The toning effect is useful when fighting oily skin.

Man, I fall in love with SwissJust more and more every time, for the wonderful products they carry!!!!

peppa-peppa-peppamiiint!

Yesterday I was part of a great training call on Aromatherapy. The speaker had great stories and facts about different essential oils.

She even went to talk about how PURE the SwissJust essential oils are when you compare them to others out in the marketplace. She came across a lady who had bought "Pure Eucalyptus Oil" from Whole Foods and how dissatisfied she was with it, so she didn't care to buy any from her. She told her to bring her bottle so they could compare. 

So she did just that, the lady put a few drops on her hand and rubbed them together, and the speaker did the same with her SwissJust Eucalyptus oil. 

They waited a few minutes and checked their hands. The lady that had put on the Whole Foods oil, still had oily hands and her hand smelled like petrolium, while the Speakers hands were completely dry! She went on to say how her hand smelled like Eucalyptus all day. This proves how PURE these oils are and how your skin absorbs them in a matter of minutes. Others out there have a lot of synthetics even though they say they are Pure Essential Oils. 

  Another thing that specifically stuck in my mind was when she talked about Peppermint. I thought peppermint was just good for toothpaste and gum...no sireee, I was wrooong....

Here's the rundown:

Native to Asia and Europe, mint has a strong menthol scent typical of many daily use products such as toothpaste, chewing gum and sweets. It has dark green leaves and its flowers vary between white, pink and violet. Peppermint essential oil is obtained through steam distillation and one needs 500 kg of blossomed plants to extract 0.5 kg of essential peppermint oil.

It soothes pain, relieves muscular spasms and reduces inflammation. It fights infections, clears and opens the respiratory tract and reduces fever. Peppermint oil also helps with digestion, clears the mind and stimulates concentration.

hmmm.. and then I found this in the Fan Page:

We just found an interesting study from Wheeling Jesuit University that links Peppermint to weight loss and reduction in hunger.

 http://www.wju.edu/academics/psy/recentresearchs2007.asp


In the study, inhaling the scent of peppermint every couple of hours helped people eat less.
 By the end of the 2-week study, the people ...who had sniffed peppermint every couple of hours during the day had also consumed fewer calories and eaten less fat, less saturated fat, and less sugar than the
nonsniffers did.

Bonus: Peppermint also reduces feelings of hunger.

And in my post below I also found out how beneficial to the brain peppermint is, especially if you suffer for ADD!

WOW, and you thought you knew it all, I am fascinated by what I find each and every day.....
:-)

Subject: Great for my sinuses Contributor: Rita Dalley


Herbal Oil 31 - I use this twice a day on my knees and once a day around the sinus areas. My knees are much better, but I can say that I have not had sinus since using it. I used to have sinus problems quite often and quite bad, but haven’t had it since, I also use it on any muscle ache areas and it is so good. My mum is 90, and she uses it on her knees as she has bad arthritis in both her knees.
