Catnip oil keeps the stomach in order and functioning well. It cures stomach disorders and ulcers, while ensuring the proper flow of bile and gastric juices and acids in the stomach. Sometimes, the inner lining of the stomach is corroded due to prolonged acidity, which can result in an ulcer. This happens due to a lack of bile, which neutralizes the acids. Catnip oil can help you avoid this situation, since it helps to maintain proper secretions in stomach.

Patchouli

Patchouli essential oil has been known to works great for people suffering from depression. It helps them to get over the feelings of sadness or loss and helps to fill them with new hope. That is why patchouli essential oil is so frequently used in aromatherapy. It uplifts mood, drives away disappointment, and relaxes tension in the majority of people, even if they are being treated for something else. This is due to the impact that inhaling patchouli essential oil has on the hormones and various chemical reactions in the body and mind. By stimulating the release of pleasure hormones like serotonin and dopamine, feelings of anxiety, anger, and sadness can simply disappear. This is why patchouli oil is commonly used during prayer; it creates an atmosphere or tranquility. An easy way to experience this benefit is to add five drops of patchouli oil to an oil diffuser or burner; you can even try adding 10 drops of patchouli oil to a warm bath.

It’s also commonly used for skin care because of its ability to help alleviate skin issues, and it’s considered one of best home remedies for acne, as well as foreczema, inflammation, and cracked, chapped or irritated skin.

Patchouli essential oil is particularly good at regenerating new skin cells, thus keeping the skin looking healthy, young and vibrant. To speed up the healing process of any unwanted marks on the skin, rub 2–3 drops of patchouli oil into your hands and then apply it the scarred area.

Simply rub 2–3 drops of patchouli oil on the infected area, or make yourself a warm bath with 5–10 drops of this infection preventing oil.

This increases your ability to decompose food and absorb nutrients properly, so it impacts your digestive system.

Chaste Tree (Vitex)

This week our oil of the week is Chaste Tree also known as Vitex. Do you suffer from premenstrual syndrome (PMS), irregular periods, infertility or menopause? There is a natural remedy for you. It’s been used for centuries and has proved itself effective time and again in scientific studies.

Vitex / Chaste Tree

Vitex can enhance the production of progesterone, bringing balance to female hormones. It may ease menstrual issues such as:

• cramps
• irritability
• headaches and other PMS symptoms
• hormonaly induced acne
• one of the most highly acclaimed herbs for promoting lactation.

Vitex has been used for polycystic ovarian syndrome, uterine fibroids, and infertility and miscarriages due to luteal phase defects.
Vitex is felt to relax nerves, spasms, reduce pain, soothe the liver. It may regulate the pituitary.

Since Vitex is said to act a lot like bio-identical progesterone in the body, it is felt to be effective to balance estrogen dominance in both men and women. Men suffering from BPH (enlarged prostate), prostate cancer or hair loss find it helpful.

Vitex – Fertility Super Herb? Unlike any other essential oil, Vitex creates proper estrogen-progesterone balance in the second half of the monthly cycle and therefore eases or eliminates PMS. In fact, it alleviates PMS more effectively than all other commonly suggested oils that mimic estrogen but does nothing to rectify the crucial balance between progesterone and estrogen. This is because Vitex has a distinct influence on the pituitary gland, which in turn generates proper equilibrium of estrogen and progesterone in the body. Use one drop per day in the second half of the cycle – great effectiveness in controlling PMS.

In Europe the essential oil Vitex . . . is used to treat Parkinsons. According to the French physician Dr. Jean CLaude LaPraz, he had observed an 89% success rate in reversing the symptoms of this dreaded disease. He recommended inhaling Vitex and applying it to the spine and soles of the feet.

Vitex offers a safe, natural way to balance your hormones at the source of their secretion— the pituitary gland. Instead of supplementing your body with synthetic hormones that can make symptoms worse and produce intolerable side effects, you can regulate hormone secretion so that you produce the perfect balance— for you— of estrogen and progesterone. Vitex offers a safe alternative to HRT, especially if the side effects of taking synthetic hormones exceed the discomfort of the original menopausal complaints.

Simply smelling vitex several times throughout the day can minimize or eliminate most of the problems associated with the change of life.

Application Suggestions
Topical: Consider diluting with a carrier oil, cream or lotion.

Inhalation: Directly inhale or diffuse

“I’ve been using Vitex, about 10 drops to a roll-on applicator and filled the rest with fractionated coconut oil. I have used it for about 3 days now, 2-3 times daily on my ovary area and thyroid. I am happy to report that I started my menstrual cycle today! It has been over 100 days since my last cycle, so this is wonderful news!” – S.M.

“I used Vitex on my mother with Parkinsons with great results. I diluted it to 3% (about 15 drops Vitex to an ounce of fractionated Coconut oil) and massaged it on her spine morning and night. Sometimes the grandkids would give her a foot massage with it. She loves it 🙂 “- Maggie
