Digestive Problems – Constipation

Excerpts from “Essential Oils Desk Reference” – compiled by Essential Science Publishing:  Chapter 30 – Personal Usage Reference; Chapter 10 – Dietary Supplements with Essential Oils.

 

Digestive Problems

 

Any of the following indicate that the digestive system is not digesting properly:

 

·         Rumbling or gurgling sounds in the abdomen.

·         Heartburn (may be a possible indication of Candida).

·         Constipation and/or diarrhoea.

·         Constant hunger or fatigue after eating.

·         Food intolerance or food allergies.

·         Intestinal parasites.

 

Poor bowel function is linked to enzyme deficiency, low fibre, insufficient liquid, bad diet, and stress.

 

Why Constipation Can Produce Problems Later in Life

 

The reason constipation creates diverticulosis is due to the fact that the muscles of the colon must strain to move an overly-hard stool, which puts excess pressure on the colon.  Eventually weak spots in the colon walls form, resulting in the creation of abnormal pouches called diverticula.

 

These pouches can also be created by parasites which burrow and embed in the lining of the colon wall and lay eggs there.  It is always wise to consider treating for parasites when diverticula are present.

 

Constipation

 

The principle causes of constipation are inadequate fluid intake and low fibre consumption.  Constipation can eventually lead to diverticulosis and diverticulitis, conditions common among older people.  Certain essential oils have demonstrated their ability to improve colon health through supporting intestinal flora, stimulating intestinal motility and peristalsis, fighting infections and eliminating parasites.

Young Living Nutritional Products

Young Living provides foods and supplements of the highest quality, enriched with therapeutic-grade essential oils to maximise their absorption.

 

One of the greatest threats to health in our fast-paced society is the highly processed, chemical-, fat- and sugar-laden food eaten on a daily basis. A great need of the modern world is convenience foods rich in nutrition.

 

Young Living creates food products that include ingredients eaten by people traditionally known for their longevity while remaining healthy, alert and self sufficient. These products contain nutrient-dense, natural, whole ingredients that are free of unhealthy sugars and artificial sweeteners.

 

Introducing ComforTone

 

A high-powered herbal laxative complex of bentonite, apple pectin, and herbal extracts that may relieve constipation, enhance colon and digestive functions, and dispel parasites and toxins.

 

ComforTone can help eliminate parasites from the body, break up encrustations along the colon wall, and relax intestinal spasms.  If you experience nausea when using ComforTone, use Digest & Cleanse Softgels, Di-Gize or peppermint (diluted if necessary); if you experience constipation, increase your water intake and avoid using ICP.  Take MegaCal or Mineral Essence daily to soften stools.  If you have a history of chronic constipation, do not start ICP and ComforTone at the same time.  First use ComforTone until the system is open, and then follow with ICP.  Drink ten glasses of water per day.

 

INGREDIENTS:

 

Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) root extract cleanses the blood and supports the liver – the most important organ for cleansing.

 

Psyllium (Plantago ovata) seed is a soft fibre that helps relieve abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhoea, and protects against flatulence and nausea.

 

Apple pectin helps with enzyme production and supports proper digestive function.

 

Bentonite is an intestinal cleansing agent.

 

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) seed is antiparasitic, antimicrobial, antispasmodic, is a digestive aid, helps regulate intestinal flora, and increases gastric secretions.

 

Garlic (Allium sativum) bulb is antifungal, antiparasitic, antiviral, an immune stimulant, works as a digestive aid, and is a catalyst for the oils.  Garlic juice halts the growth of more than 60 types of fungi and 20 types of bacteria.

 

Barberry (Berberis vulgare) bark

 

German chamomile (Matricaria recutita) flower extract is anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, limits the parasympathic nervous system in its production of mucus, and relaxes spasms in the colon wall.

 

Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) root is antimicrobial, antiparasitic, lowers bowel transit time, absorbs toxins in the colon, and stimulates the immune system.

 

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) root is anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, helps lower cholesterol, and cleanses the colon.

 

Rosebud extract

 

Cascara sagrada (frangula purshiana) works as an herbal laxative and as a liver cleanser.

 

Burdock (Arctium lappa) root lowers bowel transit time, balances intestinal flora, and absorbs toxins from the bowels.

 

Diatomaceous earth is an excellent intestinal cleansing agent as it absorbs mercury, E-coli, viruses, pesticide residue, and undigested proteins.

 

Cayenne pepper (Capsicum annuum) fruit is stimulating to circulation.

 

ESSENTIAL OILS:

 

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is antiparasitic and balances the endocrine system.  It is also antifungal, antibacterial, and helps cleanse the liver.

 

German chamomile (Matricaria recutita) helps prevent acne, rashes, and eczema.  It also improves bile flow from the liver.

 

Tarragon (Artemisia Dracunculus) has been used to reduce intestinal spasms, sluggish digestion, and fermentation.

 

Peppermint (Mentha piperita) reduces candida, nausea, and vomiting.  Also reduces inflammation and eases intestinal cramps.

 

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) combats indigestion, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, and congestion.

 

Anise (Pimpinella anisum) helps prevent flatulence, colon spasms, and indigestion.

 

Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) has been used traditionally to calm nerves.  It is a gastro-intestinal regulator and used for muscle spasms.

 

Tangerine (Citrus reticulata) is cleansing and purifying to the digestive system.

 

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is antiseptic and antiparasitic.  It improves digestion and pancreatic functions.

 

Directions:  Start with 2-5 gelatin capsules first thing in the morning, and 2-5 capsules just before bed.  Drink 8-10 glasses of purified or distilled water per day for best results.  If you get cramps, lower the dosage or skip one day and resume the following.  After starting ComforTone do not stop completely.  Take at least one in the morning and one in the evening.  For maximum results, take with JuvaTone and Essentialzyme one hour after taking ComforTone.  ComforTone may be taken every day without becoming addictive.
