Question #1
Is there an Essential Oil that can prevent and treat fungal growth?
Answer from Jane:
Dilute and add to the nail bed; tea tree, oregano, thyme, frankincense, clove, cinnamon, and cassia. All have anti-fungal properties.
Melaleuca, or Tea Tree, essential oil holds over 92 different compounds and limitless applications. Tea tree oil can be applied to the skin for infections such as acne, fungal infections of the nail, lice, scabies, athlete’s foot, and ringworm. It can also be used topically as a local antiseptic for cuts, burns, insect bites, and stings.
Question #2
Is there an Essential Oil for food poisoning?
Answer from Jane:
Add 6 drops of DigestZen to 2 tbsp of water in a shot glass. Swish around in the mouth and swallow. Also, place 2 drops of DigestZen, 2 drops of Frankincense in an empty capsule, and swallow. Repeat every hour as needed.
DigestZen is well known for its ability to aid in digestion, soothe occasional stomach upset, and maintain overall digestive health when taken internally. It reduces bloating, gas, and occasional indigestion. DigestZen is great to have on hand when stomach upset occurs and is safe and effective.
Renowned as one of the most precious essential oils, Frankincense also has extraordinary health benefits. Frankincense can be used for colic and intestinal gas (flatulence). It can also be applied to the skin in hand cream. In fact, the ancient Egyptians used Frankincense resin for everything from perfume to salves for soothing skin. When inhaled or diffused, Frankincense promotes feelings of peace, relaxation, satisfaction, and overall wellness.
Question #3
What are the benefits of Helichrysum Oil?
Answer from Jane:
Helichrysum oil holds rejuvenating benefits that can help to promote a healthy-looking complexion. So many commercial cleansers and moisturizers on the market contain harmful toxins, but using a pure essential oil like Helichrysum to improve the skin allows you to keep your skin clean and protected.
Often used in anti-aging products, Helichrysum oil is best known for the endless applications it holds for improving the skin. With chemical components that can help improve the appearance of skin, Helichrysum oil is a smart addition to any skin care regimen. It promotes cell health by encouraging the recycling of dead cells and stimulating the production of new ones. As an anti-allergenic compound, Helichrysum oil can also help your liver, spleen, internal organs and nervous system fight allergies.
