In this post we will talk about glutathione, or rather the “Mother Antioxidant” that is found in the body. Glutathione seeks to protect our cells from damage, mutation or premature death.

I was introduced to the concept of glutathione (GSH) after being diagnosed with liver disease and began researching to discover that glutathione to be key in limiting damage and possibly even repairing prior damage to the liver.

Proper glutathione production is absolutely key for the proper detoxification of many compounds that cause free radical damage to our DNA.

Salvatore Batagglia mentions the following:

“Depletion of glutathione has been associated with breast, stomach, colon, lung and prostate cancer. Glutathione depletion is also associated with chronic conditions such as emphysema, Alzheimer’s disease, Crohn’s disease, Parkinson’s and chronic fatigue syndrome.”

Simply put, from years of research, Glutathione helps to prevent premature aging and cellular breakdown due to its capacity to protect against free radical damage in the body.

Here are just some of the essential oils that are shown to induce glutathione production in the body:

Lemon 
Orange 
Red Mandarin
Ginger
Thyme
Fennel, Sweet 
Rosemary Essential Oil
Peppermint 

Think about this for just a moment. Where is glutathione produced? The answer is the liver. For this reason many Restore Hope Oil blends contain essential oils that induce glutathione production. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for the liver and cells to benefit and be protected. 

Pure Regen ™ one of our flagship essential oil blends, contains 6 of the 12 essential oils mentioned above that support glutathione and antioxidant production. 

Glutathione is found in almost every cell in the body

Application

In summary, simply applying, daily, one of the above-mentioned single oils, Pure Regen ™, Liv-Better ™, Pure Defense ™, or Pure Digest ™ may be a great way to begin consistently supporting glutathione production or cellular protection to deescalate an overabundance of inflammation and cell damage.

Applying a drop on the bottom of the feet or over the liver with a small amount of carrier oil is a great place to start.
