ADDICTIONS
Many foods and plants - such as tobacco, caffeine, drugs, alcohol, bread, sugar, and other sweeteners - create chemical dependencies.
Cleansing and detoxifying the liver is a crucial first step toward breaking free of these addictions.  Alkaline calcium can help bind bile acids and prevent fatty liver.  A colon and tissue cleanse are also important.
A body lacking in sufficient enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients may also play a part in some addictions.  Blue Agave, Yacon Syrup, Stevia, maple syrup, honey, molasses, and other natural sweeteners are good substitutes for sugar, which should be restricted in a diet.
The Thieves oil blend has been very helpful in curbing an addiction.  One or two drops on the tongue are very sufficient to stop the onset of a craving.  JuvaTone, JuvaPower, and JuvaClense may be used long-term to help detoxify the liver.  The suppress the addiction and eventually change the addiction blueprint in the cells of the body.

The final 2 Constituents Definitions

Essential Oils Young Living !!! find us at: https://youngliving.org/barbjobrown

Barbara Brown

The Last 2 Constituents

13.  Coumarins:  Dr. Steward notes that coumarins are a subgroup of lactones and are found widely in nature.  Because there is a similarity to the name of the blood-thinning drug Coumadin, he explained that coumarins and coumadin are not similar.  One is natural, one synthetic, and they have very different chemical formulas.  Coumarins have the fragrance of freshly cut hay or grass.  In fact, when you mow your lawn, you are releasing coumarins into the air.  They are found in fleabane, bitter orange, lavandin (in very minute quantities) and cassia essential oils.  Coumarins are powerful and can have strong therapeutic effects, even in small quantities.  Coumarins have antispasmodic, antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties.

14.  Furnaoids:  Furanoids or furans are lactones or coumarins with names stating with "furano" or "Furo" or ending with "furan".  Most of the essential oils that contain furans are certain expressed citrus oils.  Some essential oils with furanones are phototoxic (they amplify the effects of the sun) like bergamot, ruta (graveolens), grapefruit, and lemon.  other oils containing furanoids, like myrrh, mandarin, sweet orange, and tangerine are not phototoxic.  Myrrh is interesting in that it contains more furanoid components than any other essential oil (up to 27% ), yet it is not phototoxic.  Furanoids can have the benefits of lactones` or coumarins.

Essential Oil Constituents Continued:

What is in essential oils that is the active ingredients?  These are a few more of the "constituents" that make up essential oils:

9.  Carboxylic acids:  These constituents are only minor parts of an essential oil, rarely comprising more than 1 - 2 percent.  They are easy to recognize because they always have the word "acid" in their name.  Examples are cinnamic acid, in cinnamon; germanic acid, in geranium; and valerianic acid, in valerian.  Carboxylic acids are stimulating and cleansing and are very reactive with other components.

10.  Esters:  Oils composed mainly of esters include birch and wintergreen.  The names of esters end in "ate".  Esters usually have a strong, sweet aroma.  Linalyl acetate is found in bergamot; aryl acetate, in Helichrysum; isobutyl angelate, in Roman chamomile; citronellyl formate, in geranium; menthyl acetate, in peppermint; and boranyl acetate, the main constituent in pine, spruce, juniper, and fir.  To make an ester, a carboxylic acid and an alcohol are combined.  Esters are soothing balancing, antifungal, and stress and emotional releasing.

11,  IxudesL  These are oxygenated hydrocarbons and are usually derived from terpenes, alcohols, or ketones that have been oxidized.  Examples are bisabolol oxide found in German chamomile, piperidone oxide, in peppermint, Linalool oxide, in hyssop, rose oxide, in rose;  scleral oxide in clary sage and humulene oxide, in clove.  These oxides are in very small quantities by most oils produce the oxide 1,8 cineole, also known as eucalyptol, in varying amounts.  This is more abundantly found in eucalyptus, rosemary, and thyme.  Oils with 1.8cineole are known for respiratory-decongesting and sinus clearing benefits.

12.  Lactones:  This constituent group is characterized by tongue-twisting names.  Bergaptene is found in fennel essential oil; Furano-germacrene, in myrrh; and umbelliferone, in anise.  Celery seed is an oil with higher amounts of lactones.  Lactones, like ketones, are usually decongesting and expectorant.  They generally have mild aromas.  They seem to have antiseptic, antiparasitic, and anti-inflammatory properties, according to Dr. Daniel Penoel.

Tomorrow will be the final 2 constituents Coumarins and Furanoids.  After that, we will move on to Plant Chemotypes and Constituent Variability.

Hints for users:  How to Enhance the benefits of topical application:

The longer essential oils stay in contact with the skin, the more likely they are to be absorbed.  The ART Light Moisturizer, ART Renewal serum, ART Sheerlume Brightening Cream, Boswellia Wrinkle Cream or Sandalwood Moisture Cream may be layered on top of the essential oils to reduce evaporation of the oils are enhance penetration.  This may also help seal and protect cuts and wounds.
Do not use ointments on burns until they are at least three days old.

CONTINUED - HOW ESSENTIAL OILS WORK

Number 5 Alcohols:  The names of these constituents end in -ol.  Borneol is found in lavandin; cintronellol is in rose; linalol is in rosewood; a-terpineol and terpinen-4-ol are in melaleua; and lavandulol is in lavender.  Alcohols are also found in eucalyptus and fennel oils, as well as many more.  Alcohols are energizing, cleansing, antiseptic, antiviral and have a sweet floral aroma.

Number 6 Ethers:  This constituent form is not as common in essential oils as others like terpenes, alcohols, or ketones.  The names of these constituents end in -ole, -cin or -ether.  Examples of ethers are anethole, in fennel and anise; estragole, in nutm,eg; and eugenol methyl ester found in some melaleuca species.  Ethers are balancing and calming, help release emotions and have an antidepressant effect.

Number 7:  Aldehydes:  The names of these constituents end in -al or -aldehyde.  Benzoic aldehyde is found in onycha; cinnamaldehyde, in cassia; citral, in lemongrass; cuminal, in cumin; neral, in melissa; and phellandral, in eucalyptus dives.  The aldehyde octanal is in rose, lavender, and citrus oils.  Decanal is found in coriander, lemongrass, and mandarin oils.  Aldehydes are antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, cooling, and have strong aromas.  They can also be calming to the nervous system, emotional stress relievers, and blood pressure reducers.

Number 8 Ketones:  A strong, distinctive odor characterizes ketones.  Ketones usually end in -one.  Camphor is found in rosemary; fenchone, in fennel; jasmone, in jasmines, pentanone, in myrrh; piperitone, in peppermint; b-thujone, in Idaho tansy; and a-vetivone, in vetiver.  Ketones are thought to be calming, with decongesting and analgesic benefits; promote healing (cell regeneration) and cleanse receptor sites.

I hope that by getting some of the technical and "medical" information out to you in bits and pieces it will be helpful when diagnosing and treating any ailments that you may be trying to prevent or cure for yourselves or for family or friends.  I have found that when I take a little at a time it is easier for me to remember.  I hope that this strategy works for you all too!  Here goes today's lesson:


Number 4 Sesquiterpenes:  As many as 3,000 different sesquiterpenes are found in essential oils.  This class of constituents contains 15 carbons and is characteristically similar to alkanes and monoterpenes.  The sesquiterpenes beta-caryophyllene, bisabolene, and guanine are found in black pepper, myrrh, and patchouli, respectively.  Oils with high sesquiterpene content include cedarwood, patchouli, sandalwood, ginger, vetiver, blue cypress, and myrrh.  Many sesquiterpenes are specific to one oil only, and not all.  Caryophyllene, for example, is one exception, that has very strong woody, spicy aroma and is found in a variety of oils.  Sesquiterpenes are soothing to inflamed tissue and can also produce profound effects on emotions and hormonal balance.

Other terpenes:

Diterpenes (20 carbons) are the heaviest molecules found in distilled essential oils, Jasmine essential oil contains about 14% diterpenes.  Therapeutically, diterpenes have some of the same properties as sesquiterpenes and are considered to be expectorants and purgatives.

Triterpenes (30 carbons) and tetraterpenes (40 carbons) are larger molecules than diterpenes and are found mostly in the cold pressed citrus oils of orange, tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, and lime and also in absolutes like jasmine.

It was believed that diterpene and triterpene molecules were too large to make it through distillation, but diterpenes like incensole have been documented in essential oils through GC-MS analyses, and triterpene acids are detectable in frankincense essential oil through High-Performance Liquid Chromatography testing.

Still talking about Constituent Categories we are on #3 Monoterpenes:
The class of constituents is the most common and is found in every essential oil.  It is estimated that there are 1,000 different monoterpenes found in essential oils.  Monoterpenes contain 10 carbons and are characteristically similar to alkanes.  Many are characteristically similar to alkanes.  Many oils are composed of mostly monoterpenes, including grapefruit and frankincense.  They have light fragrances, are supportive, and enhance the therapeutic talents of other constituents.  They are commonly the first aroma detected when smelling an essential oil.  The monoterpenes a-pinene, d-limonene, 1-limonene, sabinene, myrcene, b-phellandrene, camphene, and ocimene are abundant in camphene, and ocimene is abundant in camphene and ocimene is abundant in pine, orange, balsam fir, juniper, and frankincense, ginger, spruce, and basil, respectively.

2.  Phenola:  Common phenols found in essential oils are thymol and eugenol.  (clove, cinnamon, basil, and bay laurel).  Phenol is found in very minute quantities in cassia, cinnamon and ylang ylang.  Phenola are believed to be antiseptic, antimicrobial, and may boost the immune system in various ways.  
Some phenols are strong and may cause skin irritation

Each day for the next 3 days, I will give the definition for the 4 terpenes found in essential oils.

1.  Alkanes:  Few essential oils contain alkanes, and those that do usually contain less than 1 percent.  The alkanes undecane, dodecane, and hexadecane are found in ginger oil.  Alkane alcohols are found in lemon oil and ginger oil.  rose oil stands alone as an essential oil that contains 11 to 19 percent alkanes, which may be why this exquisite oil exhibits so many unique characteristics.

ROSE OIL

Rose has been used for the skin for thousands of years.  The Arab physician, Avicenna, was responsible for first distilling rose oil, eventually authoring and entire book on the healing attributes of the rose water derived from the distillation of rose.  Throughout much of ancient history, the oil was produced by the enfleurage, a process of pressing the petals along with a vegetable oil to extract the essence.  Today, however, almost all rose oils are solvent extracted.

Note:  The Bulgarian Rosa damascena (high in citronellol) is very different from Moroccan Rosa Centifolia (high in phenyl ethanol) They have different colors, aromas, and therapeutic actions.

Medical Properties:  Anti - inflammatory, anti - HIV, antioxidant, anxiolytic, hepatoprotective, relaxant, reduces scarring, antiulcer, immunomodulating, cancer chemopreventive, DNA damage prevention

Uses:  Hypertension, heart strengthening, anxiety, viral infections (herpes simplex), skin conditions (scarring, wrinkles, acne) ulcers

Fragrant Influence:  Its beautiful fragrance is intoxicating and aphrodisiac-like.  It helps bring balance and harmony, allowing one to overcome insecurities.  The effect of rose on the heart brings good cheer with calming and a lightness of spirit.

Basic Structure of Essential Oil Constituents

The aromatic constituents of essential oils are constructed from long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms, which have a predominantly ring like structure. Links of carbon atoms form the backbone of these chains, with oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, and other carbon atoms attached at various points of the chain.
Essential oils have a different chemistry than fatty oils. In contrast to the simple linear carbon-hydrogen structure of fatty oils, essential oils have a far more complex ring structure and contain sulfur and nitrogen atoms that fatty oils do not have.

Understanding Essential Oil Chemistry

Essential oils are nature's volatile aromatic compounds generated within shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds.  They are usually ex5tracted through steam distillation, hydro distillation, or cold-pressed extraction.

The power of an essential oil lies in its constituents and their synergy.  Essential oils are composed of 200-500 different bio constituents, which makes them very diverse in their effects.  No two oils are alike.

Lavender oil, for example, contains approximately 200 different constituents of which linalyl acetate, linalool, cis-geta-ocimene, trans-beta-ocimene, and terpene-4-ol are the major components.  Lavender oil has been used for burns, insect bites, headaches, PMS, insomnia, stress, and hair growth.  Because essential oils are composites of hundreds of different constituents, each oil can exe4rt many different effects on the body.

Essential oils have a unique ability to penetrate cell membranes and travel throughout the blood and tissues.  The unique lipid-soluble structure of essential oils is very similar to the makeup of our cell membranes, and the molecules of essential oils are also relatively small, which enhances their ability to penetrate into the cells.  When topically applied to the feet or soft tissue, essential oils can travel throughout the body in a matter of minutes.*

Definition of an Essential Oil

Definition of an Essential Oil

An essential oil is that aromatic, volatile liquid that is within many shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds and that is usually extracted through steam distillation.
The chemistry of an essential oil is very complex and may consist of hundreds of different and unique chemical compounds.  Moreover, essential oils are highly concentrated and far more potent than dried herbs because of the distillation process that makes them so concentrated.  It requires a large volume of plant material to produce small amounts of a distilled essential oil.  For example, it takes 5,000 pounds of rose petals to produce 1 kilo of rose oil.
Essential oils are also different from vegetable oils such as corn oil, peanut oil, and olive oil.  Vegetable oils are greasy and may clog the pores.  They also oxidize and become rancid over time and have no antibacterial properties.  Most essential oils, on the other hand, do not go rancid and are powerful antimicrobials.  Essential oils that are high in plant waxes, such as patchouli, vetiver, and sandalwood,if not distilled properly, could go rancid after time, particularly if exposed to heat for extended periods of time.
Essential oils are substances that definitely deserve the respect of proper education.  Users should have a basic knowledge about the safety of the oils, and having a basic understanding of the chemistry of essential oils is very helpful;.  However, it is difficult to find this knowledge taught in universities or private seminars.  Chemistry books are difficult to understand for most people, and they don't usually address the specific chemistry of essential oils.  There is very little institutional information, knowledge, and training on essential oils and the scientific approach to their use.  - Taken from Essential Oils pocket reference seventh edition.  Life Science products and publishing.

Essential Oils - The Missing Link in Modern Medicine

Plants not only play an important role in the ecological balance of our planet, but they have also been intimately linked to the physical, emotional, and spiritual well being of mankind since the beginning of time.

The plant kingdom continues to be the subject of an enormous amount of research and discovery.  Most often prescription drugs are based on naturally occurring compounds from plants.  Each year millions of dollars are allocated to private laboratories and universities that are searching for new therapeutic compounds that lie undiscovered in the bark, roots, flowers, seeds, and the foliage of jungle canopies, river bottoms, forests, hillsides, and vast wilderness regions throughout the world.

Essential oils and plant extracts have been woven into history since the beginning of time and are considered by many to be the missing link in modern medicine.  They have been used medicinally to kill bacteria, fungi, and viruses and to combat insect, bug, and snake bites in addition to treating all kinds of mysterious maladies.  Oils and extracts stimulate tissue and nerve regeneration.

Essential oils also provide exquisite fragrances to balance mood, lift spirits, dispel negative emotions and create a romantic atmosphere.

Today I will talk about Adulterated Oils and their Dangers
Today much of the lavender oil sold in America is a hybrid called Lavan din, grown and distilled throughout the world.  Lavandin is often heated to evaporate the camphor, mixed with synthetic linalyl acetate to improve the fragrance, and then sold as lavender oil.  Most consumers don't know the difference and are happy to buy it for $7 to $10 per half an ounce in various stores on the internet.  This is one of the reasons why it is important to know about the integrity of the essential oil company or vendor.




POWERFUL INFLUENCE OF AROMAS

The fragrance of an essential oil can directly affect everything from your emotional state to your lifespan.  The specific mechanics of the sense of smell are still being explored by scientists but have been described as working like a lock and key or an odor molecule fitting a specific receptor site.
When the fragrance is inhaled, the airborne odor molecules travel up the nostrils to the olfactory epithelium or the center of olfactory sensation.  At the Olaf-Ector epithelium or the center of olfactory sensation.  At the olfactory epithelium, which is only about 1 square inch of the nasal cavity, olfactory receptor cells are triggered and send an impulse to the olfactory bulb.  East olfactory receptor type sends an impulse to a particular micro-region, or glomerulus, of the olfactory bulb.  There are around 2,000 glomeruli the olfactory bulb, which receive the impulses from the olfactory receptors and allow us to perceive many smells.  The olfactory bulb then transmits the impulses to other parts of the brain, including the gustatory center (where the sensation of taste is perceived), the amygdala (where emotional memories are stored), and other parts of the limbic system.
Because the limbic system is directly connected to those parts of the brain that control heart rate blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, and hormone balance, essential oils can have a profound physiological and psychological effects.
An article in Scientific American December 15, 2006, raised an interesting question regarding the lock and the key  theory:  "the shape theory doesn't explain why some nearly identically shaped molecules small vastly different, such as ethanol, which smells like vodka, and ethane thiol (rotten eggs)"  Another theory of smell, called the vibration theory is proposed by an Italian scientist named Luca Turin in a paper published in 1996.  The theory that rather than the "lock and key" theory of olfaction, it is the vibrational pr4operties of molecules that enable us to distinguish smells.  He suggests that the olfactory receptors sense the quantum vibrations of each odorant" atoms, which would allow humans to perceive almost limitless numbers of odors, as olfactory receptors are tuned to different frequencies.
While the vibration theory is still somewhat controversial, Jennifer Brookes, a University College London researcher based an MIT, was the lead author on a study that discusses models of receptor selectivity, including those based on shape and other factors like vibrational "frequencies".  Speaking of Turin's theory, she told the BBC in March 2011, It's a  very interesting idea; there are all sorts of interesting biological physics that implement quantum processes that are cropping up.  I believe it's time for the idea to develop and for us to get o with testing it."  A colleague of Brookes,, A.P. Horsfield, of Imperial College London, was also interviewed by the BBC about the vibrational theory and said. "There's still lots to understand but the idea that it connotes possibly be right is no longer tenable really.  The theory has to at least be considered respectable at this point"
