Going To The Bathroom Too Often?

Going To The Bathroom  Too Often?

In this post we will be talking about what we can do about digestive issues.

A customer recently asked, “My husband gets up multiple times in the night to go to the bathroom. Is there an essential oil that can aid this?”

My response is, “Has this been happening for some time?

Has there been a change in mood and/or stress levels?

Is there a new medication or lifestyle change?

How much water are they drinking at night?

At some point in our lives we all will have some sort of digestive issue,
so these are questions we can all ask ourselves.

Often we do not realize that increased stress and worry can have a great effect on our body.

Think about this for a moment, “What is happening when we urinate?”

We are releasing toxins and substances that if they stayed in our body could be harmful, right?

One possible thought is that anyone under stress may begin to see urination challenges as it can be an example of how the body is trying to rid itself of both physical and emotional toxins. It could be a sign to us that we need to take steps to manage our emotions.

My thought when approaching this challenge would be to ask myself,
“How can I provide stress relief or support to the urinary system?”

My first choice would be Cypress essential oil applied to my lower abdomen with some carrier oil (Fractionated Coconut Oil) before bed.

Coconut Carrier Oil

Why Cypress? Cypress essential oil could be considered the oil of flow. This flow capacity of Cypress is applicable to our emotional resilience, cardiovascular and urinary systems, and more. When applied, Cypress initiates improved flow for our body systems and greater ability to work through times of transition in our lives.

Cypress essential oil is gentle enough for a child when diluted and strong enough for an adult.

Cypress comes from the twigs, leaves and stems of the actual tree. Tree oils tend to help us stay grounded in times of great stress. They help us stay rooted and resolute in our challenges.

Cypress Essential Oil

I love tree oils. I absolutely love them and Cypress is no exception. An oil with underestimated capacity,

Cypress can help alleviate discomfort, improve general blood flow, boost the immune, urinary and respiratory systems while helping us manage stress in a more helpful manner.

Reach out with any questions!

Essential Oils Considered An Antifungal For Possible Candida Challenges

Blog

Essential Oils Considered An Antifungal For Possible Candida Challenges

It’s time to talk more about one oil that can be helpful for not only mold,
but also as a possible solution to another question I continually get.

Question #1 – Are there any oils considered an antifungal for possible candida challenges?

Question #2 – Is there an oil that protects from bacteria growth in the mouth and gums?

Let’s address the first question in this post. Tea Tree or Melaleuca alternifolia is one of the most studied essential oils on the market.

Just a few of the pharmacological studies that have involved Tea Tree were in reference to the following properties or possible properties of Tea Tree as an: Antifungal, Anti-inflammatory, Antimicrobial, Antioxidant, Antitussive, Antiviral, Expectorant, Hepatoprotective, and Insecticidal.

Tea Tree is a fantastic essential oil and on my list of what I call “Triple Threats”!

Tea Tree

 I consider a Triple Threat to be an oil that has three distinct properties:
Antiviral, Antibacterial and Antifungal. Tea Tree is gentle enough for a child when diluted and stronger than most essential oils in the areas just mentioned, but is not considered a hot oil like Clove, Oregano and others.

A study done on Tea Tree and many other oils in 2014 found the following:

Freiesleben and Jager stated; the antifungal agents can deactivate the fungus
by disrupting the structure and function of membranes or organelles of
fungal cell and/or inhibiting the nuclear material or protein synthesis.”
Freisesleben S.H., Jager A.K. Correlation between plant secondary metabolites
and their antifungal mechanism—a review. Med. Arom. Plants. 2014;3:1–6. [Clevland Clinic] [Ref list]

What this means is that antifungals like Tea Tree can have the capacity to
deactivate or keep mold cells from multiplying by destroying their ability to grow!

How cool is that?!

What is Candida? Yeast. What is yeast? Fungus! According to the CDC:

“Candida normally lives on the skin and inside the body,
in places such as the mouth, throat, gut, and vagina, without causing any problems.”

Why does this matter to you and I?

It can become a greater challenge when it spreads in our home and is starting to affect you?

The simple topical application I use for a natural defense against fungal buildup is a simple combination that includes Tea Tree essential oil and a carrier oil:

I apply 2 drops to my lower abdomen twice a day as a proactive approach of Tea Tree with ½ a teaspoon of carrier oil like Safflower or Fractionated Coconut Oil. I do this at different times throughout the year.
It is not daily for me, but it would be if I suspect fungal buildup in my system.

If you are looking for other alternatives Lemongrass and Lemon are other great possibilities
to assist with possible excess fungal challenges in the body.

Minty Citrus Essential Oil DIY Blend Anyone

Minty Citrus Essential Oil DIY Blend Anyone

Hey this is Gavin from Restore Hope Oils.  Welcome to our blog while ago I had an experience where I was in my office and a wonderful friend of mine came by to get some oils. This woman has been a great friend and grandma type personality for my children.

She said, “Gavin, do you still have the raw Peppermint oil “I love so much”  (we sell a non-rectified Peppermint oil  so it has a slightly more bitter note as we do not remove any of the constituents)?”

I said, “Yes we do. Do you need some today?”

She said, “Oh yes, please don’t get rid of it because I love it, it is my Pure Happy!”

We chatted for a moment longer and I asked, “May I share with you some oils you could combine with your Peppermint oil that I think you may enjoy?”

Her eyes went wide, “You mean, you can make it better?!” (this woman has amazing energy and loves the mint family of oils in general)

I said, “Better will be determined by you, but Carrie (my wife) and I really enjoy it.”

I want to share with you, The Restore Hope Oils Family, what I shared with her. This is a simple DIY blend that:

Smells minty with a hint of citrus.

Assists soreness and can mitigate lactic acid buildup after a workout.

Has been found to open the mind and respiratory system.

Items needed:

1 – Restore Hope Oils Lime

Lime Essential Oil

1 – Restore Hope Oils Peppermint

Peppermint essential oil

1 – Restore Hope Oils Rosemary

1 – Restore Hope Oils Fractionated Coconut Oil

Carrier Oil – Fractionated Coconut

A 10ml bottle holds approximately (depending on the density of the oil) 200 drops of oil/product. Here are some simple ratios of oil and carrier I would add to the empty roller bottle or standard 10ml bottle:

Add enough Fractionated Carrier Oil to fill 25% of the bottle.

Add 10 drops of Peppermint

Add 12 drops of Rosemary

Add 30 drops of Lime

Fill the rest of the bottle with Fractionated Coconut Oil. This is enough carrier oil that I don’t overpower a room, but I receive great benefit.

Gently agitate the bottle for 1-2 minutes.

Let the mixture sit in a dark and preferably cool place for 12-24 hours for the oils to really learn to come together. The aroma will be quite different in 24 hours.

Apply to sore muscles, to neck and shoulders for a mental pick me up or if you want to support your respiratory system.

Essential Oil On!

Can Essential Oils Stop You From Crying?

Blog

Can Oils Stop You From Crying?

Hey, Gavin here. There is an ongoing joke in our home that if someone needs to be distracted from crying or something else the response is, “Do you want to go and smell something?”

This comes from when our youngest was 2 years old and one evening she started crying (for some reason I do not remember). I could see that my wonderful wife was tired from a long day, and I personally had been working on three new prototype blends for Restore Hope Oils.

I looked over at my youngest and said, “Hey!” (in a very excited voice)
She stopped her continual crying long enough to say in a sniffling voice, “What Daddy?”
I said, “Do you want to go and smell something?!”

She immediately said, “Yes!” We went into my home office and I let her smell the first version of our Pure Happy good day essential oil blend. She said, “I like it Daddy!” and immediately stopped crying.
Carrie (my wife) and my two older girls just started laughing and it has since become a family line.
But, in all seriousness the question is, “Can an essential oil change a person’s mood that quick?” I want to share with you three single oils I love to apply when a brighter mood is needed.

A wonderful floral and citrus scent. Similar in size to an Orange the oil is expressed or cold pressed from the rhine before it is ripe. An amazing oil with great emotional balancing properties. 

Bergamot

Bergamot – Citrus bergamia – a citrus oil with great capacity to aid fluctuating moods of anxiousness and depressive feelings.

Holmes says that Bergamot essential oil promotes emotional stability. He recommends Bergamot oil for reducing irritability, moodiness, frustration, mood swings and emotional instability.

Application Ideas:

Apply 2-3 drops with Fractionated Coconut Oil to the neck and shoulders for mood support.

Add 8-10 drops to your diffuser to help aid anxious feelings and nervous tension.

Bergamot

Geranium – Pelargonium graveolens – Floral oil with great capacity when feeling I am feeling overwhelmed.

Mojay states that Geranium can help convey a feeling of calm strength and security, and recommends using it for both chronic and acute anxiety, especially when one is feeling nervous exhaustion due to stress and overwork.

 

Application Ideas:

Apply 1-2 drops with Fractionated Coconut Oil to the bottom of the wrists to smell throughout the day.

Apply 2 drops with Fractionated Coconut Oil over the kidney area (lower back) and down towards the sacrum to support proper adrenal function.

Geranium

Litsea Cubeba (May Chang) – a small fragrant tropical tree that grows in the eastern Himalayan regions. We steam distill the small pepper like fruits.

Battaglia mentions that Litsea oil helps to promote optimism, vision, and foresight whenever there is pessimism, negative thinking and loss of vision.

 

This is one of Carrie’s favorite scents and a key essential oils in our Pure Stability Essential Oil Blend.

 

Application Ideas:

Diffuse 8-10 drops in the home or office to help purify the air and lift the emotional mood.

Apply 2 drops with Fractionated Coconut Oil to the abdomen to support proper digestion and feelings of anxiety.

If managing stress and mood are a challenge for you, give one of these oils a try.
