Stroke is a multifaceted disabling neurodegenerative condition that causes the degeneration of neurons leading to cognitive and muscular problems. Researchers found that oral administration of lavender essential oil with gallic acid prior to stroke preserved cognitive—including memory—and muscular function and reduced anxiousness in a preclinical model of stroke. This preclinical research suggests that ingestion of lavender essential oil may be beneficial in people with a higher risk of stroke to preserve cognitive and muscular function if a stroke occurs, but more confirmatory human clinical research is necessary.

Helichrysum is a fantastic essential oil for the skin and muscle soreness. It is nicknamed "liquid stitches" because of its wound healing properties and just a little in a blend goes a long way to improving efficacy. A recent study also suggests that the oil is a good antioxidant and inhibits gram-positive bacteria, suggesting it may have antiseptic properties when used for wounds.

Children treated in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) often experience distress and pain both from the illness or injury that required hospitalization and the frequency of painful or distressful procedures performed daily. Moreover, children are in an unfamiliar environment with noises and people they are unaccustomed to. A clinical observational study evaluated the effects of massage with lavender, German chamomile, and neroli in 111 children aged less than 6 months to six years old in the PICU. A mixture of 1% of the above oils was added to grapeseed carrier oil and massaged to the body (from the feet up to the legs, arms, hands, back, shoulders, abdomen, and the head) using the “M” Technique for as long as the child was comfortable or when the therapist deemed the massage had been performed sufficiently. Each child participating in the study received one aromatherapy massage. Heart rate and anxiety were significantly lower and overall comfort improved after the intervention. The study suggests that an essential oil massage could improve the comfort and experience of children when admitted to a PICU.

Chronic stress can trigger maladaptive responses in the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which maintains internal homeostasis and controls metabolism. Additionally, chronic stress can interfere with the activation of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems because the ANS regulates these systems. Dysregulation of the ANS often negatively affects the cardiovascular system (dyslipidemia, high blood pressure, fast heart rate) and contributes to obesity (increased visceral fat, insulin resistance, excess white fat, metabolic syndrome).

Inhalation of basil CT linalool essential oil for only 20 minutes reduced total weight gain, total cholesterol, and triglycerides, inhaling it for only 5 minutes reduced heart rate, while inhalation of isolated linalool reduced white fat accumulation in a preclinical model. Both linalool and basil reduced LDL cholesterol, regardless of inhalation time. Inhaling it for 20 minutes promoted the greatest reduction in LDL cholesterol and HDL increased in both the 5- and 20-minute inhalation groups. Moreover, cardiovascular risk and atherogenic index decreased when inhaling basil oil. Overall, this research suggests that inhaling basil and its primary constituent linalool may reduce dyslipidemia and improve cardiovascular health, while contributing to a healthy body weight.

Just for fun😁
Hey friends! I’m here to show you the difference between real labeling of “100% pure essential oil” and correct labeling. I am not here to brand shame (hence why the label is off). But, both bottles are labeled 100% pure.

In the United States, there only has to be 5% pure oil per bottle. Meaning, 95% of the bottle can be filler and they can legally market it as 100% pure organic oil.

The bottle on the left is obviously way lighter in color, but do you see the outer ring? The ring consists of chemical fillers added to the essential oil. Yet fillers were not listed on the ingredients.
The bottle on the right is so concentrated that it bled through the lid. It is deep blue in color because it is pure. This is a perfect example of our Seed to Seal promise which guarantees 100% essential oils. I’ve witnessed the process of planting the seeds, all the way to bottling and sealing on Young Living farms and it’s very real. It provides full transparency so you know what happens every step of the way, with no interference by a middle man.

This is why I encourage y’all not to buy the cheap oils at Walmart, Target, Amazon, etc. because you cannot know what you’re really getting. You do not know what you’re paying for. You do not know what diffusing into your air you breathe into your lungs. Or what you’re putting on your body that ends up in your bloodstream and inside your cells.

Please be safe.

Gout is a painful inflammatory condition characterized by recurrent attacks of red, hot, swollen, and tender joints due to the buildup of monosodium urate monohydrate crystals in the joint. It is estimated that from 1% to 4% of the population suffers from gout, with older men being the most affected.

Oral administration of beta-caryophyllene, the primary component of copaiba essential oil and also found in black pepper, cananga, melissa, and other essential oils, reduced gout symptoms in experimental models. The constituent reduced inflammation and improved joint function by modifying the expression of several proteins involved in gout and inflammation.

Copaiba.

Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disease that results from breakdown of joint cartilage and underlying bone. The most common symptoms are joint pain and stiffness, which generally progress slowly over years. A preclinical model of osteoarthritis found that injecting beta-caryophyllene, the primary constituent of copaiba essential oil, into affected joints reduced degeneration of cartilage and inflammation. Importantly, chronic administration of the beta-caryophyllene protected the joints without reducing its pain-relieving effects due to tolerance.
