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.
