Defining Digestive Disorder

All of the following fall under the category Digestive Disorder - non-ulcer dyspepsia, peptic ulcers, gastritis, and irritable bowel syndrome, also known by the acronym IBS.

IBS is a very common digestive disorder (affecting 15 percent of adults) but is not a disease rather it is a functional disorder causing cramping and diarrhea or constipation. IBS can be triggered by certain foods, exercise, stress or hormones.

In this lens I will make recommendations for using therapeutic grade essential oils to treat digestive disorders RATHER than the top selling drugs. Why? Because drugs such as Nexium and Prevacid block the production of stomach acid. What's wrong with that? Well one of the functions of stomach acid is to kill swallowed germs. One study by JAMA (Journal of American Medical Association) found that Dutch patients had four times the incidence of pneumonia as those not taking drugs. Also another JAMA study indicated that three times more patients contracted a potentially deadly diarrhea called c.diff or Clostridium difficile compared to patients not taking acid inhibitors.

Medical research has documented tremendous alternative healing benefits of using essential oils either by inhaling, ingesting, or applying them topically. Folklore and antient custom has known the benefits of ginger and peppermint oils for digestive disorders.

A New Oil Available as a Digestive Aid 

Copaiba is a powerful essential oil from the Rainforest in South America that has traditionally been used to aid digestion and support the body's natural response to injury or irritation. Copaiba contains the highest amounts of beta caryophyllene (55 percent) of any known essential oil.

Here's a Testimonial:

I used Copaiba for a nasty scrape on my toe - I really hurt my big toe,
on a cement planter, getting out of my car in a hurry. What I noticed
was the Copaiba promoted INCREDIBLY rapid tissue healing, I mean, I
was astounded. I had been using other oils on it for about 5 days
before my Copaiba arrived, but honestly, it put the rest to shame.

Almost overnight, the wound dried up and the tissue underneath the
injured area kind of knit together. I have used rose and helichrysum
(and lavander, melrose etc) in the past on these kinds of injuries,
but this was amazing in terms of efficacy in promoting healing.

Hope that helps,

Rachel Charon

Essential Oils Found Beneficial for Ulcers 

Between 80 and 90 percent of both duodenal and gastric ulcers are caused by a bacteria called Helicobacter pylori. I'd like to recommend two specific oils because of their effectiveness against bacteria. First Lemongrass was found effective in a Japanese study against H. pylori bacteria. But commercial antibacteria drugs developed resistance, while there was no resistance to lemongrass oil. As you know smells and scents play a role in digestion. What scent makes your mouth water?

Study reference: Ohno T, et. al., "Antimicrobial activity of essential oils against Helicobacter pylori," Helicobacter. 2003 Jun;8(3):207-215.

Another study at Georgetown University Medical Center found that Oregano oil could kill H pylori, Stapylococcus areus and E. Coli.

Of course, if you want to get therapeutic effects from essential oils, you should use only untainted therapeutic quality essentials. I recommend using only Young Living Essential oils. They are a little higher priced than some, but are worth what you pay. I will go into how to order them on-line in another section.

Holistic Health - Beneficial Oils for Irritable Bowl Syndrome (IBS) 

Even for difficult digestive disorders such as IBS we need to support and soothe the digestive tract. Often inflammation is involved. Ingestion is the best way to deliver these oils for this purpose. You just need to get gel caps and fill them with essential oils.

The essential oil blend called Di-Gize contains the oils of Taragon, Ginger, Peppermint, Juniper, Anize, Fennel, Lemongrass, and Patchouly. You can just rub it directly on your tummy or take it internally by diluting one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid such as goat's or rice milk. (See ordering instructions below) Di-Gize supports a healthy digestive system and is an ideal companion to the supplements of ComforTone and JuvaTone.
easing pain.

See the Selecting and Ordering module for ordering instructions.

More Oils for Stimulating Proper Digestive Function 

Here are some other single oils that have been found to be effective and are well documented for the alternative health benefits of soothing inflammation and stimulating proper digestive function.

By the way many people are loyal users of herbs - just know that herbs are the DRIED plant and many of the essential oils are about 100 times less potent after drying than using the actual the essential oil! Essential oils are similar to the blood of the plant. They are very powerful and only a drop is needed to be highly effective if the oil is used.

Peppermint Oil is ranked #1 for digestive upsets. There have been over 24 studies on peppermint oil and irritable bowel syndrome. This is even mild enough to be useful and effective with children to reduce the pain of IBS. Peppermint relieves the spasms or IBS, reducing stool frequency, relieving bloating and flatulence and easing pain.

Ginger Oil has been known to quell nausea for centuries. Studies show that ginger can halt nausea and vomiting following major surgery or used for pregnancy.

Lavender Oil is calming, sedating, and carminative (releives gas) and has anti-colic effects. It is also anti-spasmotic which is useful when you experience IBS.

Jasmine Oil can be inhaled or used topically to relieve cramps and spasms of IBS.

According to Dr. David Hill, "The many natural chemical constituents in essential oils attack the complex causes of digestive disorders bringing comfort and healing."

Selecting and Ordering Your Essential Oils 

You should demand 100% pure therapeutic-grade oils. Young Living oils are carefully grown and prepared to deliver the maximum bioactivity, energy and chemical profile of the living plant. These premium, very potent oils are more costly than synthetic and diluted oils which include most store brand and cosmetic products. For optimal efficacy and safety and for best results I recommend only Young Living Essential oils. I have taken them successfully internally many times and they can be trusted.

Young Living is a company committed to high quality and organic essential oils. Its mission is uniting ancient tradition with modern science to produce the highest-quality essential oils and oil enhanced products in the world. I personally love the quality and healing power of these oils.
