Recent research uncovered…
Science just found rare, medicinal compounds in cannabis.

Most cannabis growers discard the plant’s leaves after harvest—but new research suggests they might be throwing away chemical gold.

Scientists at Stellenbosch University in South Africa have identified a rare class of compounds called flavoalkaloids in cannabis leaves, marking the first time these bioactive molecules have ever been found in the plant.

Known for their powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, flavoalkaloids are extremely rare in nature and may have medical potential in treating conditions like cancer and chronic inflammation.

Using advanced chromatography and mass spectrometry, researchers analyzed three strains of cultivated cannabis and identified 79 different phenolic compounds—25 of which were previously unknown in cannabis. Sixteen of the most intriguing, the flavoalkaloids, appeared mostly in the leaves of one specific strain.

This breakthrough flips conventional cannabis science on its head, which has long focused on the well-known cannabinoids THC and CBD found in the buds. The study opens a new frontier in cannabis research and suggests that what’s long been considered waste might hold powerful therapeutic potential.

SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER (SAD)- a mood disorder, affecting people with otherwise normal mental health. Main-stream treatments for SAD include light therapy, vitamin D supplements and antidepressants. However, ESSENTIAL OILS can be a great complementary service for treating SAD.

Bergamot oil is a most popular essential oil for treating depression, mood disorders and anxiety. Inhaled bergamot oil reduced anxiety, stress and caused slight reductions in blood pressure.

Jasmine absolute, on-the-other-hand, when vaporized, had a stimulating effect on the autonomic nervous system, resulting in greater blood oxygen saturation, .increased alertness and perceived vigor. (Sayowan et al 2013).

Rose oil decreased epinephrine levels by 30% (Haze et al 2002)… an appropriate essential oil for extreme stress. Prolonged inhalation of rose oil (24 hrs) by gerbils, revealed an anti-anxiety effect that was similar to “some serotonergic agents” (i.e. substances that increase serotonin).

Eucalyptus oil killed antibiotic-resistant bacteria on contact completely, but antibiotics remain prescribed, why?

Microbiologists discovered that essential oil from specific eucalyptus species destroys ALL antibiotic-resistant bacteria—including MRSA, VRE, and CRE superbugs within 60 seconds of contact.

Australian hospitals use eucalyptus oil solutions for surface sterilization, wound care, and even experimental internal use for superbug infections. Lab tests show even after 500 bacterial generations exposed to eucalyptus oil, zero resistance develops—bacteria cannot evolve defenses against having their outer cell structure physically dissolved.

Patients still receive last-resort antibiotics that often don't work while their infections spread untreatable. The permanent solution exists, but pharmaceutical business models prefer temporary antibiotics that need constant replacement.

Don’t wait for Doctors to catch up, get your own Eucalyptus oil at The Oromocto Galleria and keep it handy this season.

TURKEY DINNER - Contrary to popular belief, it's not the tryptophan in turkey that makes you tired after the turkey dinner.

Tryptophan is an amino acid that is converted to serotonin and melatonin. Both help with sleep and stress. So, it's understandable why this myth persists.

But the real culprit behind that fatigue is the combination of protein and starch found in plates full of turkey, potatoes, breads and desserts.

When you mix protein with starch, it can spike insulin levels by 200% compared to eating them separately.

This exaggerated insulin response is what truly makes you feel tired, so keep that in mind when filling your plate this holiday season.
