PH Balance Essential Oil Blend

ABOUT

An increase in blood acidity can overwhelm the body’s acid-alkaline control systems, cause the blood to become overly acidic, and create a condition called acidosis. A balanced blood pH level is essential to restore and protect our health from the inside out. This Blend is a natural remedy to help your body balance your PH levels. To name a few benefits: highly alkalizing, and helps with heartburn. Antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties, can help balance blood pH levels and bring about overall emotional and physical well-being.

Ingredients:

All Rounder Feco, Lemon, Peppermint, Myrrh

 

The dangers of PH imbalance

Your body’s PH balance, also referred to as its acid-base balance, is the level of acids and bases in your blood at which your body functions best.

The human body is built to naturally maintain a healthy balance of acidity and alkalinity. The lungs and kidneys play a key role in this process. A normal blood pH level is 7.35 to 7.45 on a scale of 0 to 14, where 0 is the most acidic and 14 is the most basic. This value can vary slightly in either direction.

If the lungs or kidneys are malfunctioning, your blood’s pH level can become imbalanced. Disruption in your acid-base balance can lead to medical conditions known as acidosis and alkalosis. Both conditions require treatment from a medical professional, not simply dietary changes. Certain medical conditions, such as diabetic ketoacidosis, can cause your blood pH level to become imbalanced.

In addition to maintaining a healthy pH balance for the blood, your body also closely regulates the pH levels of other parts of the body — including the digestive tract, reproductive system, and skin — to ensure that they function efficiently.

Science shows that when the body’s pH levels become too acidic, a condition called acidosis, one becomes more prone to diseases like the following:

Weakened immunity

Premature aging

Osteoporosis, weak or brittle bones, fractures, and bone spurs.

Joint pain, aching muscles, and lactic acid build-up

Low energy and chronic fatigue

Mood swings

Obesity, slow metabolism and inability to lose weight

Chronic inflammation

High blood pressure

Weight gain, obesity and diabetes

Bladder and kidney conditions, including kidney stones

Slow digestion and elimination

Yeast/fungal overgrowth

 

What is PH?

pH stands for the “potential of Hydrogen ions” which exist in your bodily fluids. In general, 7 is considered neutral. The numbers 1-6 on the pH scale indicate acidity. Anything above 7 is considered alkaline. A healthy pH level for both saliva and blood is around 7.4.

Why You Should Be Monitoring your pH Levels (and How to Do It)

Every day, your food choices, stress responses, and overall body metabolism determine your pH levels. Monitoring these levels consistently for one week can give you immediate feedback as to how your life choices are effecting your health, for better or for worse.

Testing and checking your pH level is very easy to do. The best time to check is first thing in the morning, preferably after 5 am and after you have had at least six hours of sleep. To perform a saliva test, rinse your mouth out with clean water upon awakening (but do not brush your teeth). Spit this out and then spit a second time in the sink. Spit a third time directly onto a pH strip, then record your measurement. For a urine test, you can urinate in a small cup and dip the strip in to measure or urinate directly on the strip. The pH of your morning saliva should be at 7 or above. The pH of your morning urine should be between 6.4 and 6.8. Special pH paper for testing can be purchased online or at your local health food store.

 

Cancer Hates Alkaline Environments

While cancer cells can’t survive in an oxygen-rich, alkaline environment, they love it when your body is acidic. Countless studies have demonstrated that a common characteristic of all tumors is their ability to thrive in acidic environments.

“This perturbation in pH dynamics rises very early in carcinogenesis and is one of the most common patho-physiological hallmarks of tumors,” says researchers at Italy’s University of Bari. In a 2013 study, the Italian researchers looked at how pH levels had an effect on certain proteins which are instrumental in regulating pH levels. These proteins (NHE1) are activated when oncogenes are turned on.

 

How FECO helps

For most people, stress is an unavoidable part of life. But, while stress in small doses is generally fine and even considered healthy for our minds and bodies, high levels of stress on the other hand can have serious health implications.

When we get stressed, our bodies release a stress-coping hormone called cortisol. A short burst of cortisol is natural and assists us with our fight-or-flight response to avoid potential danger or negative outcomes. Prolonged cortisol release experienced daily, however, will end up supressing the immune system’s ability to fight infections.

Stress has been shown to adversely affect lung function in patients with asthma. Asthma is a chronic disease that is characterised by inflammatory processes in the airways. Lung function declines with higher airway inflammation. It has been shown in studies that during periods of stress (for example examinations), airway inflammation in asthma patients worsens.

Between stress and infection as two causes of lung inflammation, it means that keeping stress under control is an essential part of ongoing good immune-health and disease prevention protocol.

FECO for stress relief and improved immunity

Meditating and taking time out for self-care are good starting points to help manage stress, but FECO has shown promise as an alternative therapy for the management of mental health and emotional stress.

FECO has also shown beneficial anti-inflammatory effects in pre-clinical models of various chronic inflammatory diseases. In these studies, FECO decreased lung inflammation potentially through the suppression of an over-exuberant immune response.

Besides its anxiolytic properties, FECO can exert a number of effects that impact our wellbeing – neuroprotective, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects

Because our bodies also naturally produce cannabis-like substances known as endocannabinoids (eCB’s), taking FECO oil has an even greater impact on overall wellbeing. FECO facilitates the functioning of the body’s existing cannabinoids to enhance their stress-relieving effects and boost the body’s ability to regulate a variety of physiological processes, including anxiety from chronic unpredictable stress, appetite, compulsive and memory storage cognitive functions, and others.

 

FECO for Inflammation

Inflammation plays a big role in a healthy PH level. During inflammation, the drop in pH is a result of infiltration and activation of inflammatory cells in the tissue, which leads to increased energy and oxygen demand, accelerated glucose consumption via glycolysis and thus increased lactic acid secretion. Studies have shown that Cannabis Oil may help reduce chronic pain by affecting endocannabinoid receptor activity, reducing inflammation, and interacting with neurotransmitters

 

FECO and sleep

PH is your body's measurement of alkaline and acid, and too much of either can lead to health issues. But a slightly raised level is optimum and getting enough sleep every night, deep, restorative sleep is one of the keys to keeping your body's ph up and healthy.

Levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, typically peak in the morning, but people with insomnia may have high cortisol levels at night. Independent of insomnia, having high cortisol levels at night is associated with an increased number of night-time awakenings.

Many people use FECO for insomnia and other sleep disorders. Insomnia can be caused by a number of things, including physical pain and anxiety. Since FECO shows promise in treating pain and anxiety, it makes sense that it might help people sleep better

  

Essential Oils?

 Cannabinoids, however, are not the only beneficial molecules in cannabis. Terpenes, the chemicals behind the herb’s famous scent, also have therapeutic benefits. Terpenes are molecules that are found in plant essential oils. One of the notable terpenes in Cannabis is Pinene, which is also found in pine needles. Like an all-natural Vapor Rub, Pinene is an expectorant and potent bronchodilator

Essential oils are compounds extracted from plants (or other natural sources). Raw materials like flowers, leaves, wood, bark, roots, seeds, or peel are subjected to a distillation process, cold pressing, or resin tapping. These methods extract the potent “essence” of the plant!

Unlike cannabinoids, which tend to be big molecules that may not soak deeply into the skin, terpenes can.

 When searching for a good cannabis product - ones that contain both cannabinoids and terpenes are ideal. Terpenes are found in the essential oils of just about any plant.

Essential oils smell great, reduce stress, treat fungal infections, and help you sleep among many other benefits.

 

Lemon

WHAT IS IT?

Lemon essential oil is a completely natural ingredient that also serves as a home health remedy. It's extracted from the peel of fresh lemons through steam extraction, or less often, through a “coldpressing” process that pricks and rotates the peel as oil is released.

WHAT IS IT USED FOR?

Lemon essential oil can help increase energy levels while aiding in mental clarity. This oil has also been known to help with heartburn, acne, gallstones, and respiratory issues. Adding a few drops to your water in the morning will activate your metabolism, balance pH levels and reverse inflammation.

BENEFITS

HIGHLY ALKALIZING

Lemon essential oil is pH neutral, highly alkalizing, and helps with heartburn. Extracted from the rind of the fruit, it has a much stronger alkalizing effect than lemon juice, is absorbed easier than lemon juice, and does not damage your teeth’s enamel.

REDUCES STRESS

There are number of Health benefits in lemon Oil. Lemon oil is calming in nature and hence acts as a dynamic stress-buster. The usage of lemon oil helps to lessen fatigue, anxiety, exhaustion and stress.

BOOSTS IMMUNE SYSTEM

The potassium content in lemon boosts the immune system considerably. Many people prefer consuming lemon oil in drinking water as it naturally draws out toxins stored in liver

BALANCES PH LEVELS

It is easy to have an imbalanced ph level these days with the amount of processed food we consume, environmental factors, and the number of toxins our bodies are exposed to on a daily basis.  When lemon essential oil is used internally, it can help to balance ph levels.

Peppermint

WHAT IS IT?

Peppermint is an aromatic herb in the mint family. It’s a hybrid mint that’s a cross between spearmint and watermint. It can be found naturally in North America and Europe.

Peppermint essential oil can be extracted from the leaves of the peppermint plant.

WHAT IS IT USED FOR?

 Peppermint essential oil can be extracted from the leaves of the peppermint plant and is used for a variety of purposes. It has a sharp odor that’s cool and refreshing, and the taste is similar. You may be familiar with the coolness in your mouth after you consume something with a peppermint flavor.

BENEFITS

1. RELIEVES IBS

Most of the research into peppermint oil has looked at its impact on digestive conditions, particularly irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). According to the NCCIH, there is some evidence to suggest that enteric-coated, diluted peppermint oil can reduce the symptoms of IBS.

2. FIGHTS INFECTIONS

Peppermint oil is antibacterial against some species of bacteria — including Salmonella, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus — in laboratory tests.

3. HELPS WITH INDIGESTION

A review article in the journal Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutics found that a combination of enteric-coated peppermint oil and caraway oil could reduce indigestion in adults when compared with a placebo.

4. HELPS TO BALANCE SKIN'S PH BALANCE

The ideal pH level of your skin is 4.7 and 5.7. Because sweat is so alkaline it can throw of your pH levels. When used correctly peppermint can help regulate and balance your skin.

Myrrh

WHAT IS IT?

Myrrh is a natural, aromatic, sap-like resin or “gum” that is derived from the small, thorny Commiphora myrrha tree, which is related to the Frankincense tree.

WHAT IS IT USED FOR?

In aromatherapy, Myrrh Essential Oil is known to offer relief for colds, congestion, coughs, bronchitis, and phlegm.

BENEFITS

1. IMPROVES GUT HEALTH

One animal study indicates that myrrh compounds may help treat intestinal spasms related to irritable bowel syndrome. Another animal study suggests that myrrh may help treat stomach ulcers.

2. REDUCES INFLAMMATION

Myrrh oil contains plant compounds that may temporarily relieve pain by signaling your brain that you’re not in pain. It may also block your body’s production of inflammatory chemicals that lead to swelling and pain.

3. POSSIBLE ANTI CANCER PROPERTIES

A group of Chinese researchers revealed that extracts and compounds from Commiphora myrrha resin may be effective against human gynecologic cancer cells. Their findings were published in the Journal of Medicinal Plants Research.
