seasonal changes. Rub the tincture, cream, or gel on sore spots, Do

Look for astragalus products standardized to 15-percent polysaccharides. Calendula Essential Oil (calendula officinalis): Use calendula tinctures, oil, lotions, or creams to soothe chapped skin and lips. Look for products with at least 10-percent extract of Calendula. Chamomile Essential Oil (Matricaria recutita): This soothing herb works great as a dust-irritant reliever. Brew a cup of tea and let it cool. Place the room temperature tea soaked in cotton on your eyes. Drink a cup of chamomile tea for upset stomachs, heartburn, indigestion, or to promote relaxation. Echinacea Essential Oil (Echinacea purpurea): Treat colds, flu, sore throat, and other common infections with this natural enhancer of immune system function. It's sold as tinctures and extracts, as well as capsules and tablets. When you feel something coming on, take two capsules of freeze-dried extract four times a day or a dropper full of tincture, in water, four times a day. Ginkgo Essential Oil (Ginkgo biloba): Take ginkgo for low circulation or insufficient blood flow, mental fuzziness, memory loss, or vertigo. Take 120 milligrams per day in divided doses with food.

Use one teaspoon of the tincture in a quarter cup of water, or take one or two tablets at bedtime. Triphala Essential Oil : An Ayurvedic Indian herbal mixture, triphala is a remedy for constipation and poor bowel tone. Take only the capsules and avoid triphala in powdered form. Fall Essential OilsFall, like Spring, is a time of extreme change for many living in non- temperate areas. The air becomes drier or in some circumstances wetter and cooler. These and other changes can foster the dreaded cold or flu, which would normally be fought off by your body. Emotional stress tends to be stronger in the Fall as we tend more toward reflection. To assist in staying healthy, there are a number of things you can do using essential oils in your environments. The air becomes drier in the Fall. The membranes in your nose can become dry and non-effective. This lack of proper filtering of air can result in germs and bacterial agents gaining access into your body and causing problems. Thus, creating a moist environment in your home or work space is vital. Many people today use a central ventilation system which includes humidification. Since mold, bacteria and other foreign toxins can rapidly grow in stagnant water, be sure to have your system properly serviced and ask if it is suitable to add essential oils to the water being used. Some system are not equip to allow for this. This is also true for the electric humidification models being sold on the market. Read the packaging carefully to see if essential additions are allowable. If you find the model you have does not allow for aroma therapeutic additions, you can use a pot of water on the stove (with essential oil added) or a separate essential oil diffuser. As always remember safety and do not leave the stove unattended. Some also find placing water with essential oils in front of a fire place or on a radiator to also work very well. The moisture plus the addition of the essential oil will help your body to fend off various types of infections. Changing the water frequently is, however still needed. Key essential oils to use include Lavender and Tea Tree. These help the immune system in the body to function normally and in themselves kill germs, bacteria, mold, etc. Be sure to buy pure essential oils and use enough when attempting to purify the air. Fall can also be an emotionally uncertain time for people as well. While the leaves may be a time of great beauty, the shorter days can lead to sadness and light depression commonly known as "the blues". Essential oils, particularly Lavender, have uplifting and mood balancing qualities that may help one on both a mental and physical level. You may want to consider these other essential oils for your Fall Medicine Chest: Bergamont (Citrus bergamia) : Bergamot oil is a powerful antiseptic. In appropriate dilution, it has proven its use in the treatment of many troublesome skin complaints, such as eczema, some of which can be reluctant to respond to other forms of treatment. Stress-related complaints such as headaches and irritability will often respond well to a massage with oil of bergamot in the blend. The effect of the oil is vitalizing and uplifting, soothing tension away without any sedative effect. Bergamot eases problem gastrointestinal spasm and flatulence and gentle abdominal massage can bring relief from constipation and colic. The oil is also detoxifying and is thought to help in the treatment of cellulite when used in massage. In addition to this, when used for bathing, berga-mot oil can soothe inflammation and can help alleviate vaginal itching and the symptoms of cystitis. In inhalation or massage, it can be used in the treatment of respiratory infections such as sore throats and bronchitis. Bergamot can also be used in a mouthwash to deodorize bad breath and fight mouth and throat infections, or on the hair to control dandruff. Suitable methods of use Bathing, hair care, inhalation, massage, mouthwash, skin care, vaporizer/diffuser. Cedarwood (Cedrus atlantica) : Cedarwood oil has a rich, honey color and a warm, woody, sweet smell that appeals to both sexes. The oil is extracted from wood - sawdust, chips and shavings - by the process of steam distillation. Aromatherapists use Cedarwood oil for the treatment of respiratory ailments. It has antiseptic properties, and is effective against coughs, bronchitis and catarrh. Its use in skin and hair care is well recognized, and it can be very beneficial in the treatment of dandruff, eczema and acne. As an ingredient in a blend to perfume a room, cedarwood oil is warm and pleasant. The oil is particularly useful in treating stress and tension. Cinnamon (Cinnamoma Cassicia): There are two different oils extracted from the tree. Cinnamon-leaf oil has some use in aromatherapy, but cinnamon-bark oil is a strong irritant, high in toxicity and should not be used. Cinnamon-leaf oil is extracted from the leaves and young twigs of the tree by steam distillation. Commercially, it is used in the food and drinks industry in some sweets and carbonated drinks, and in the pharmaceutical industry it is used in cough medications and dental preparations. Aroma therapists can use cinnamon-leaf oil in massage to relieve rheumatism, and it can also be beneficial in the treatment of digestive disorders. It is a stimulant and is used to treat circulatory problems. It can also be of benefit to those who are suffering from nervous exhaustion. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Cinnamon is used to warm the interior as well as used for exterior conditions such as a common cold or flu. Clove (Eugenia aromatica): This essential oil is extracted from the buds of the tree. The scent of the oil is hot-spicy, sweet, penetrating. Clove is a tropical evergreen tree that grows to a height of about 40-70 feet and has aromatic dark green leathery leaves and bright pink buds that bloom into yellow flowers, followed by purple berries. Heating the oil creates vapors which open sinuses and breathing passages. This oil is uplifting, an aphrodisiac and reviving, is a mental stimulant, improves mental clarity and memory; improves digestion; reduces pain by numbing the area; a disinfectant and repels insects. Clove bud oil can irritate the skin and should either be avoided or used with extra care by people who have sensitive skin. Use small amounts. Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) : Essential oil of patchouli is obtained by the process of steam distillation from the leaves of the plant which are previously dried and fermented. The oil is thick and viscous and is orange-amber in color. It has a distinctively sweet and earthy smell that is long-lasting and unlike other essential oils, actually improves with age. Patchouli oil is antiseptic and anti-inflammatory and can be used in skin care to treat acne, oily skin and open pores as well as minor sores that are weeping and reluctant to heal. It is also beneficial in the treatment of athlete's foot, chapped and painful skin and eczema. Patchouli is particularly beneficial to aging skin and will also help prevent scars and stretch marks. When used in a massage blend, particularly in abdominal massage, or alternatively in a warm compress, patchouli can relieve constipation and combat flatulence. Patchouli can also be used to strengthen the spirits when exhaustion has set in and will help restore a sense of calm and determination in stressful times. The oil also has aphrodisiac properties and can benefit in particular those whose desire or sexual performance has been adversely affected by stress and fatigue. Patchouli oil can also be used as an insect repellent.
Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanoides):
Vetiver is a grass, a member of the family Poaceae (Gramineae) and it
is native to southern India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. It grows to a
height of approximately 6 feet. It has deep, strong roots and is
planted in some countries to protect the soil from erosion.
Therapeutically, Vetiver oil has a profoundly relaxing effect on the
nervous system, relieving tension and stress. It can be used to good
effect in the treatment of insomnia. In India, Vetiver oil is known as
the oil of tranquility. In baths or in massage, vetiver is beneficial
in the treatment of the symptoms of disorders such as arthritis,
rheumatism and stiff muscles. It is warming and comforting and will
help to relieve the tension that is often associated with chronic
pain. Vetiver oil also benefits the circulatory system, stimulating
and warming, especially when used in combination with massage. In skin
care, the antiseptic and slightly astringent properties of vetiver can
be used to good effect in the treatment of oily skin that is prone to
spots. A Fall Blend:
•Add 10 drops of
Lavender Set your stove on extremely low to allow the steam to diffuse into the air. You can also do the same with a tea pot without a whistle. Remember to always watch the stove and turn it off when no adults are present. Fall Delight: • Add 10 drops of
Bergamot Light a tea light under the oil to gently diffuse the scent into any room. The Healing Harvest of FallThe crisp Autumn air hit my face as I was walking through the Farmer's Market here in New York City this morning. I had a difficult time getting up and felt as if I had molasses in my blood! I had no motivation and found it difficult to even open my eyes all the way. Just the opposite of my usual Yang personality! As I strolled through the market, my eyes opened wide as I caught all the wonderful, bright colors of the Fall fruits and vegetables. Fresh herbs filled the air with their scent as I become very inspired and ran home to write this article. The Full Force of Fall is in Fruition! Take advantage of the glorious healing properties of this Fall's Bounty! Apples: contain naturally-occurring chemical compounds known as phytochemicals, polyphenols, or flavonoids, some of which have been proven to have antioxidant activity that inhibits, or scavenges, the activity of free radicals in the body. Cell damage from free radicals can be a factor in certain cancers, heart disease, strokes, and other conditions. The major antioxidant components in apples are polyphenols contained mainly in the skin known as quercetin glycoside, phloretin glycoside, chlorogenic acid, and epicatechin. The names are complex, but their health value is clear: Quercetin has been reported to reduce carcinogenic activity, inhibit enzymatic activities associated with several types of tumor cells, enhance the antiproliferative activity of anticancer agents, and inhibit the growth of transformed tumorigenic cells. Citrus Fruits: Hundreds of studies have been conducted on the nutrients found in citrus fruit, including orange juice, and the role these nutrients play in reducing the risk of such diseases as cancer and heart disease, when part of a low fat diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Citrus fruit, which contain essential vitamins and minerals, are an important part of a healthy diet for all men, women and children. In both fresh and juice form, citrus - including oranges, grapefruit and specialty varieties such a temple oranges, tangerines and tangelos - have many important nutritional benefits. Barley Grass and Wheat Grass: Eating barley and wheat grass is like eating a plate of green vegetables. These cereal grasses, are harvested young and are ecologically grown in nutrient rich soil. They are approximately 25% protein and contains all the essential amino acids, concentrated vitamins, minerals and fiber. They have been shown to increase our overall health by reducing intestinal putrefaction and maintaining healthy blood another important component of cleansing. Broccoli: Broccoli is known as the "Crown Jewel of Nutrition" for its vitamin-rich, high in fiber, and low in calorie properties. Not only does broccoli give you the best vegetable nutrition available, it also gives you many ways to lead a healthier, longer life. Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States with cancer as the second, and broccoli gives you many ways to help fight and prevent these and other diseases. Broccoli has multiple cancer- fighting properties including vitamin C, beta carotene, and fiber. It is also rich of phytochemicals which appear to offer us protection against certain cancers and heart disease. Indole carbinol and sulforaphane are two different phytochemicals that are found in broccoli. Buckthorn Bark: Acts on the liver, gallbladder, blood and intestines. Has a stimulating effect on the bile and conditions of the, liver, gallbladder and lower bowels; does not gripe and keeps the bowels regular without irritation. Burdock: Supports the blood, kidneys and liver. A natural blood purifier which eliminates uric acid and excess waste material. Burdock is quite effective in treating dry and scaly skin disorders such as psoriasis, dandruff and eczema, also helps break sown calcification in joints. Cabbage, Cauliflower: Nutritionally and medicinally, the cauliflower is similar to the cabbage. Of course, the lower sulphur content is obvious. Cabbage and cauliflower are rich in antioxidants, which help prevent cancer, and prevent heart disease caused by oxidative damage to blood vessels. It is especially rich in Vitamin C - one cup of chopped flowerets or laces of cabbage meets a whole day's requirement of this vitamin. A deficiency of Vitamin C causes scurvy because it interferes with collagen synthesis. Collagen is one of the structural frameworks of normal tissues. Other anti-cancer molecules present in significant amounts included the phytochemicals sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol. Leafy Greens, Spinach: Leaf lettuce, beet greens, and spinach are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to these salad vegetables. Greens actually come in a wide variety of colors, textures, shapes, and flavors. They may be green to yellow-white, or red to purple, soft to crisp, curly to flat, and peppery to bitter to mild. Mix and match them and you've created an exciting salad! Greens are an excellent source of vitamin A and a good source of vitamin C. For a bigger boost of vitamin A, buy greens that are medium to dark green (the darker the leaves, the more vitamin A). Many greens, such as spinach, kale, and collards are known for their mineral content, especially iron, calcium, magnesium-as well as the vitamins folate, riboflavin (B2) and vitamin K. Leaves are very rich in antioxidants-- the carotenoids and beta-carotene, the tocopherols (vitamin E) and of course, vitamin C. Onions: Diaphoretic, lubricating to muscles. Rich in sulfur compounds called Thiosulfinates-they are anti-inflammatory and contain Vitamin C, Quercetin and are a powerful antioxidant. Scallion Bulb: very helpful in reducing the early symptoms of a cold. This is a great remedy for diarrhea in the aged, as well. Taro Root: Nutritious, assists the stomach, builds blood. Consider all these wonderful healing foods when you stroll through your Fall garden or Farmer's Market!
