IMMUNE SYSTEM ESSENTIAL OILS

Immune System EOs (Remember, Essential Oils are way more potent than herbs.)

1. Eucalpytus Essential Oil- loosens phlegm and relieves congestion. The secret to its effectiveness is a compound called 1,8-cineole, which has powerful anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties. (Keep away from children!) Not meant to be ingested. Diffuse only.

2. Frankincense Essential Oil- Scientific experiments have found a direct link between this oil’s ability to lower inflammation and an enhanced immune system. Used topically, it reduces inflammation, kickstarts the immune response, and fosters tissue remodeling for faster healing. A study comparing frankincense to the antibiotic Ciprofloxacin found that this oil was as effective as Cipro against many harmful microbes. Frankincense also quells free radical damage thanks to its antioxidant potential. 

3. Oregano Essential Oil - Lab research has discovered that oregano essential oil inhibits a variety of viruses including antibiotic-resistant herpes simplex, rotavirus, and some respiratory viruses and norovirus, a highly-contagious foodborne infection responsible for the “stomach flu” and food poisoning, due to Oregano’s carvacrol, a terpene that breaks down the tough exterior wall of the virus. Oregano also is a powerful antibacterial, thanks to high levels of the active compounds: carvacrol and thymol. When pitted against a variety of common infectious microbes, researchers discovered that oregano oil kills Salmonella, E. coli, and several types of Staph. A 2017 study also found that oregano essential oil boasts strong antioxidant properties, adding to its immune-stimulating capabilities.

4. Thyme Essential Oil produces a high level of antimicrobial and non-specific immune activity. In one study evaluating 120 strains of bacteria common in humans, thyme essential oil was effective against a range of infectious bacteria, including staph strains and treatment-resistant strains like MRSA. Thyme oil was also effective against the bacterial strains Enterococcus and Escherichia. 

5. High in monoterpenes, Wild Orange Essential Oil possesses stimulating and purifying qualities, making it ideal to support healthy immune system function when used internally. It can be taken daily to cleanse the body or used on surfaces as a natural cleaner. 

6. Taken internally, Lemon Essential Oil provides cleansing and digestive benefits and supports healthy respiratory function.

7. Clove Essential Oil: Internal use has powerful antioxidant benefits due to its powerful antioxidant properties.

8. Cinnamon Essential Oil helps maintain a healthy immune system when taken internally.

9. Copaiba is a powerful immune support Essential Oil. Copaiba oil contains the highest levels of β-caryophyllene (BCP) among currently known essential oils. When Copaiba is consumed, the BCP binds to receptors to aid healthy immune and inflammatory responses. It also influences multiple signaling pathways to promote healthy liver, digestive, kidney, heart, and brain function. With its wide influence on key organs, BCP supports general well-being. Copaiba provides powerful antioxidant benefits when taken internally.

10. Rosemary EO - Internal use may help support healthy respiratory function.

11. DoTerra Essential Oil company has an immune system protective blend of oils containing Wild Orange Peel, Clove Bud, Cinnamon Leaf, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Leaf, and Rosemary Leaf/Flower essential oils. The blend is called "On Guard." I've researched various Essential Oil companies, and I think that doTerra is the best.

HEADACHE

Headache?

 My TMJ shoots up into my ear and then my head. DoTerra’s “Pastense” roll-on Essential Oil works better for me than 4 Advils do. I roll it on my jaw and also behind my ear.

These two together (Pastense roll-on, and, Deep Blue Rub) are amazing.

 Health the natural way. DoTerra’s Essential Oils work at the cellular level. They don’t just mask pain. They heal.

ANTIBIOTICS AND ESSENTIAL OILS

 “Essential Oils Might be the New Antibiotics”, published in The Atlantic Journal, January 16, 2015 and written by Tori Rodriguez.

“The loss of antibiotics due to antimicrobial resistance is potentially one of the most important challenges the medical and animal-health communities will face in the 21st century,” says Dr. Cyril Gay, the senior national program leader at the USDA Agricultural Research Service.

Livestock consume up to 80 percent of the antibiotics used in the U.S, according to a recent FDA report. This rampant use of the drugs has led to “superbugs” that are becoming increasingly resistant to the antibiotics that are used to treat not just farm animals, but humans as well. Almost 70 percent of the antibiotics given to these animals are classified as “medically important” for humans. In the U.S., antibiotic resistance caused more than two million illnesses in 2013, according to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and an estimated 23,000 deaths. And it will only get worse: a recent report commissioned by the U.K. government estimates that drug-resistant microbes could cause more than 10 million deaths and cost the global economy $100 trillion by the year 2050.

Dr. Stuart B. Levy, director of the Center for Adaptation, Genetics, and Drug Resistance, led a study and found that chickens developed resistance to the antibiotic tetracycline at a rapid pace–within a week, the animals had resistant bacteria in their gut. Months later, the resistant bacteria had spread to untreated chickens and even the farmers. And what was frightening was that those resistant bacteria also became resistant to other antibiotics that the chickens hadn’t even consumed!

Several studies done by the USDA have shown great promise in using essential oils as an alternative to antibiotics in livestock. One of their studies, published in October 2014 in the journal Poultry Science, found that chickens who consumed feed with added oregano oil had a 59 percent lower mortality rate due to ascites, a common infection in poultry, than untreated chickens.

Researchers have also directly compared the effects of commonly used antibiotics with those of various essential oils. One such study, from the March 2012 issue of the Journal of Animal Science, found that rosemary and oregano oils resulted in the same amount of growth in chickens as the antibiotic avilamycin, and that the oils killed bacteria, too. Additional findings have shown that essential oils help reduce salmonella in chickens, and that a blend of several oils can limit the spread of salmonella among animals. One of the co-authors of that study, Dr. Charles Hofacre, a professor at the University of Georgia’s College of Veterinary Medicine, says it’s such a new area of research that they don’t yet know exactly how the essential oils work, but “there is some strong evidence that they are functioning by both an antibacterial action in the intestine and also some have an effect to stimulate the intestinal cells’ ability to recover from disease more quickly–either by local immunity or helping keep the intestinal cells themselves healthier.”

Research published in December 2013 reported that a hand gel made with lemongrass oil was effective in reducing MRSA on the skin of human volunteers, and previous research has shown that a cleanser made with tea-tree oil clears MRSA from the skin as effectively as the standard treatments to which bacteria appear to be developing resistance.

Scientists have been testing all kinds of combinations of essential oils and antibiotics, and they’re repeatedly finding that the oils—used on their own and in combination with some common antibiotics—can fight numerous pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant strains of E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and other common types of bacteria. Results consistently show that combining essential oils and antibiotics significantly lowers the amount of antibiotic required to do the job.

Dr. Nicole M. Parrish, associate professor of pathology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and associate director of medical mycobacteriology at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, says that essential oils contain some of the most potent antimicrobial compounds available, and that furthering our understanding of them may lead to the development of entirely new classes of drugs.

One farmer who has talked publicly about using essential oils is Scott Sechler, owner of Bell & Evans Farms, a high-end producer of antibiotic-free poultry. Back in 2012, he told the New York Times about his use of oregano oil and cinnamon to fight infection on his 140 farms, with a total of 9 million chickens. The approach worked better than all other options he had tried, but he told the Times, “I have worried a bit about how I’m going to sound talking about this,” adding, “But I really do think we’re on to something here.”

“With our chicken breed, housing environment, and feeding program, we’re able to promote healthy gut bacteria—we use oregano oil to kill the bad bacteria and cinnamon oil to support the good bacteria. But if you meet them halfway by doing things right, they will carry you across the finish line,” Sechler says. People warned him that the bacteria would become resistant to the essential oils, too, but they haven’t yet, and his farms processed over 50 million chickens last year (2014).

CBD VS COPAIBA ESSENTIAL OIL

We will be comparing CBD Oil with Copaiba Essential Oil. But

first, we must examine the Endocannabinoid System (ECS)

We have many systems in our bodies such as digestive system, respiratory system, reproductive system, etc. The Endocannabinoid System was discovered in the 1960s.

The Endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a crucial molecular system that the body uses to help maintain homeostasis (equilibrium between physiological processes in our bodies). It may be involved in regulating physiological and cognitive processes, including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory.

ECS is a system of 3 elements: (1) receptors, (2) molecules, and (3) enzymes.

(1)   Receptors: There are 2 types of receptors: CB1 and CB2.

CB1 receptors are found mostly in the brain and spinal cord and the central nervous system. Involved with psychoactive functions.

CB2 receptors are mostly involved with your immune system, but also found in the heart, liver, lungs.

(2)   Molecules: There are molecules that interact within the ECS system. The 2 main molecules are Endocannabinoids which are produced by the body. And secondly, Phytocannabinoids which are plant produced. Examples of plants with Phytocannabinoids are Melissa, Black pepper, Cannabis, Black truffles, the Cacao plant, and Copaiba plant.

(3)   Enzymes: Maintain levels of endocannabinoids that our body naturally produces by creating or destroying them as needed.

There are 2 substances that interact with ECS System and produce physiological response in the body: (1) Betacaryophylline, which is found in the Copaiba plant and to a lesser degree in other plants such as cinnamon, oregano, black pepper. And (2) CBD which is only one of over 100 chemical compounds in the marijuana plant. It is not THC. It is not psychoactive.

Let’s compare these 2 substances.

(1)   Betacaryophylline. The Copaiba plant is 45-80% Betacaryophylline. This substance selectively and DIRECTLY binds to CB2 receptors in the ECS system and directly activates the CB2 receptors. This binding causes rapid changes in cellular effects and long-lasting effects, stimulating your immune system. This works on many different pathways in the body, even outside the ECS system, helping many of our body’s systems for our well-being. The CB2 receptors transmit signals inside the cell to modify cellular activity. They’re a target to regulate immune and inflammatory response for healthy brain, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, digestive, and cellular function.

(2)   CBD has slower cellular effects because CBD doesn’t bind to the receptors very easily. There is NO DIRECT binding to the receptors. CBD works more as a “helper” to regulate other molecules that, in turn, directly bind to the receptors. THC binds directly to the receptor, but not CBD. CBD works indirectly. 

“Researchers once believed that CBD attached to these CB2 receptors, but it now appears that CBD does not attach directly to either receptor. Instead, it seems to direct the body to use more of its own cannabinoids.” (Medical News Today, July 27, 2018)

Now let’s talk about PURITY. A JAMA November 7, 2017 article published a study that compared ingredients listed on the labels of cannabidiol products sold online to actual product constituents determined by laboratory analysis.

They found that 69% of CBD products on the market did NOT have the concentration of CBD in the bottle that was on the label. In other words, 69% of the time the product was mislabeled or adulterated. Only 39% of the online products were labeled correctly. Also, many had a greater level of THC than is currently allowed by federal regulations.

Clinical doses of CBD can potentially harm the liver. On the other hand, Betacaryophylline (in Copaiba) is safe and non-toxic.

The Betacaryophylline (in Copaiba) is good for:

               Cellular health

               Healthy inflammatory response

               Healthy organ function

               Body comfort

               Memory function

               Lipid regulation

               Cellular antioxidant defenses

               Cellular longevity

               Virtually all body functions, NOT JUST THE ECS SYSTEM

Here are Copaiba Essential Oil benefits for you:

               Taken orally, aids your immune system and your brain

               Taken orally, supports a healthy female reproductive system

               Taken orally, supports healthy inflammatory response

               Used daily, helps you live a longer healthier life (homeostasis from the ECS system)

               Diffused, creates a calming environment

               Topically, improves the absorption of other Essential Oils

You can purchase Copaiba Essential Oil at a better price for a beneficial dose than CBD oil.

CAPSULES FOR STRESS MANAGEMENT - ADAPTIV

Stressed? Anxious? Stress management includes many options.

DoTerra's newest Essential Oil blend, "Adaptiv" capsules contain Sceletium Extract, a unique phytochemical ingredient that brings a feeling of “alert serenity.” 

The extract supports healthy emotional responses to everyday stressors and promotes feelings of happiness and well-being. 

It balances healthy levels of mood-stabilizing hormones and improves cognitive function while combating occasional nervousness.

"Adaptiv" capsules also contain GABA, a quieting neurotransmitter. GABA also helps promote relaxation. GABA has a natural comforting effect and helps reduce feelings of apprehension and fear by decreasing neuronal excitability. Sometimes called “the brakes of the brain", because it lowers the activity of neural cells in the brain and central nervous system, it has the effect of moving the brain and the body into lower gear. By inhibiting neural activity, GABA reduces mental and physical strain.

ENZYMES - METABOLIC AND DIGESTIVE

Great way to stay healthy:

You need METABOLIC enzymes because they regulate your metabolic system - ie glucose metabolism, etc. Your body must produce Metabolic enzymes. You can't get them as supplements.

But, here's the kicker: If you don't have enough DIGESTIVE enzymes, your body will produce Digestive enzymes INSTEAD of Metabolic enzymes. (Dr. David Hill, world-renowned physician in integrative medicine.) Not good.

Here's the good news: You can take Digestive enzymes as a supplement.

So, if your body has enough Digestive enzymes with the supplement, then it is free to make Metabolic enzymes for you. 

Bottom line, it's important to all your body systems that you have enough Digestive enzymes. And it's easy to get them.

DoTerra's TERRAZYME capsules daily will solve this problem for you.

YOUR BRAIN AND BRAIN WASTE MATERIALS

How does your brain get rid of waste every day? The more waste accumulated in your brain, the greater the chances for brain degeneration to occur. Your brain cells mop up diseased and damaged bits of protein and metabolic waste accumulated throughout each day while you sleep. Your glymphatic system sweeps waste away. This glymphatic system flushes out dirty fluid and molecules from inside your brain tissue. Your glial cells (which surround your neurons) shrink when you sleep. Therefore, the space between your cells increases by up to 60%. This extra space allows more fluid to be pumped through and drives the clearance of waste from your brain while you sleep. So, it's vital to your brain health to get enough sleep! I use doTerra's "Serenity" Essential Oil topically, or inhaled to create a restful environment. I also take "Serenity" softgels internally, which helps me get refreshing sleep without leaving me feeling groggy or sleepy the next day. These two together help my sleep tremendously, along with my Melatonin.
