Description
Oil of Oregano is extremely important for: The elderly The chronically ill Those who have a decreased resistance to infection Those who wish to increase their resistance to infection Oil of OreganoOregano is a perennial of the mint family having aromatic leaves. The name Oregano comes from the Greek word meaning "Joy of the Mountain". Four main chemical substances in oregano account for its tremendous healing qualities: alcohols, esters, phenols, and terpenes. Together these important substances are what really make Oil of Oregano such a powerful natural health aid. Phenols, such as carvacrol and thymol, act as antiseptics and antioxidants, while terpenes, which include pinene and terpinene, exhibit antiseptic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and anesthetic properties. Linalool and bonreol are two long-chain alcohols found in oregano oil, which add to the antiviral and antiseptic qualities. Esters are potent antifungal agents. Two that are found in abundance in oregano oil are linalyl acetate and geranyl acetate. Some uses for Oregano oil include:Immune stimulantAntibiotic and AntisepticFood PoisoningAnti-viralAllergiesAntioxidant protectionFungal InfectionsCandidaParasites Supporting the Immune SystemThe immune system is the police force of the body. It is a complex system of cells that defend the body from invading organisms, regulate inflammation and control abnormal cell growth. Many organs are involved in the immune response, the bone marrow, lymphatic system, thymus, liver and spleen. Bone marrow produces red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. The spleen is a location where immune cells can monitor the blood for foreign matter. It also speeds up red blood cell production and activates blood clotting. The liver can increase body temperature and induce sweating to help fight off infections. The thymus produces B cells, which make antibodies, and T cells, which are part of the immune response. The immune system is capable of fighting off intruders and remembering them so that they are killed off quickly if they invade again. The immune system must be able to differentiate self from non-self in order to know what to attack. If it does not recognize the body's own tissue than autoimmune diseases occurs. Optimize the health of your immune system by:Consuming a nutrient-rich diet from a wide variety of foods.Exercising regularly.Maintaining regular sleeping habits.Limiting exposure to environment toxins and medications.Supplement with immune supporting and nutrients. Healing with OreganoOregano is a well-known spice in Italian cooking. This plant is just as useful in the medicine cabinet as it is in the kitchen Oregano extracts have antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal activity!Chronic infections, like candidiasis, and contagious new viruses, like SARS, seem to be inhibited by oregano. Oregano not only kills infecting microbes in the respiratory tract but also acts as an expectorant (helps to expel mucus) and antispasmodic (relieves coughing).In the digestive tract oregano soothes digestion and decreases diarrhea, by stopping intestinal spasms. It also kills gastrointestinal microbes and decreases gas and bloating. There are some theories that Crohn's and Colitis may have a triad of predisposing factors, including an unbalanced gut flora, and a trigger, commonly physical or emotional stress, and a bacterial or microbial invasion of some sort. Given this theory, studies are currently investigating the use of oregano oil to treat these IBD conditions. Animal studies are already showing promising results. Topical Use of Oregano OilOregano can be used topically for skin infections, like Athlete's foot, ringworm and folliculitis. Oregano is useful for treating colds, sore throats, coughs, chronic respiratory conditions, yeast infections, viral infections, bacterial infections, diarrhea and indigestion. I personally use oil of oregano a few times throughout the first day or two I am feeling a sore throat coming on. I can say, without exception, that the sore throat never progresses and symptoms have disappeared within a couple days of starting the oregano oil. Forms of OreganoOregano can be purchased as a loose herb, encapsulated herb, spice or essential oil. The loose herb can be made into a poultice for topical application, used for inhalation or drank as a tea for internal use. Oregano may be included in combination teas for soothing digestion. The spice is often added to dishes for prevention of bacterial contamination. Oregano StrengthsThe essential oil of oregano is a highly concentrated substance. It comes in various strengths, sometimes referred to as a percentage (i.e.: P73). Make note of the phenol carvacrol, one of the most active ingredients in oregano, responsible for the majority of its medicinal benefits. A carvacrol content of 70 % or more is optimal. Externally, you can apply to almost any affected area, although use extreme caution when treating highly sensitive mucosal membranes, such as the vagina and anal areas. It is highly recommended, when treating these areas that you use a carrier oil to dilute the essential oil. Olive, almond or coconut oils are all good options. Before applying externally, you may want to test a small area of skin with the non-diluted essential oil, to ensure there is no reaction or determine is dilution is necessary. A few drops of oil of oregano can be added to shampoos to treat dandruff, eczema or seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp. It can also be rubbed (using fingertip) on the gums to treat and prevent gingivitis, as well as a few drops added on your toothbrush to kill germs and treat bad breath. When taking internally, 1-3 drops under the tongue, 3x/daily is a typical dosage. Acutely, you can do up to 3 drops every hour for the first day you are experiencing signs and symptoms of cold, flu or food poisoning (for up to 10 hours). Essential oils can be toxic when taken internally in high doses. Oil of oregano should not be used in pregnancy or lactation. If using long-term, consider taking breaks and repopulating/supporting healthy gut flora with the use of probiotic or with herbs such as slippery elm.

Description
Humans do not make Vitamin C like animals do; we need to supplement this essential vitamin to meet our daily needs. Inadequate amounts of Vitamin C means poor collagen. Vitamin C and Lysine work together to build collagen, which strengthens and holds together the coronary cells. Coronary arteries, closest to the heart, receive the greatest pressure. Without enough Vitamin C the collagen weakens. This sets the stage for heart attack or stroke. Healthy collagen also supports healthy teeth, gums, cartilage, bones, connective tissue and wound healing. The antioxidants in Medi-C Plus also support and help maintain good health.

Description
Many of us face stressful situations every day that cause worry, anxiety, and decrease our quality of life. Some potentially stressful situations such as traffic, relationships, giving presentations, or attending important meetings are predictable stressors that we can often prepare for in advance. However, other stresses such as being confronted with something we fear, hearing bad news, or a traffic accident may occur suddenly and without warning. Over time, repeated stress can have cumulative negative effects on our mental and physical health, which can contribute to cardiovascular disease, impaired immunity, headaches, insomnia, and even depression. Prescription drugs such as anti-anxiety medications and sleep aids may be used to deal with some aspects of stress, but they only mask symptoms and come with the risk of serious side-effects. SISU Stress Rescue features L-Theanine, a safe, natural remedy that has been helping people deal more effectively with stress for thousands of years and modern human research has proven its therapeutic effects.
