The Positive Effect
|
The positive effect of essential oils on digestion is apparent when you consider all of the health benefits these oils provide!
According to ancient Ayurveda, there is a fire principle that is responsible for all changes taking place in your body. The fire in your stomach helps it to digest your food and give you energy. The fire in your mind helps to process your thought into experience and reaction. When this fire in your stomach is dispersed or absent, your digestive system goes haywire. The effect of essential oils on digestion is of major therapeutic value.
Essential Oils and Digestion
Indigestion occurs when you eat too much or too fast or eat foods that your system is unable to tolerate. It is also called dyspepsia. Indigestion is very common in children and adults.
Along with stomach upset, you might also have symptoms like heartburn, nausea, and a bloated feeling. Instead of taking a pill, try to cure it in the natural way. There are several essential oils that aid in proper digestion.
- Lavender oil soothes the intestines, reduces inflammation, and improves digestion.
- Chamomile oil reduces stress and strain, encourages the flow of bile and gastric juices, enhances the appetite, eliminates flatulence, and aids in proper digestion.
- Clove oil and dill oil also help in digestion, apart from acting as a disinfectant.
- Rosemary oil helps in alleviating one’s mood, enhances alertness, stimulates the nerve, tones the stomach, treats dyspepsia, liver malfunctioning, and aids in digestion.
- Peppermint oil is very effective for treating colic pains, flatulence, and stomach disorders.
- Myrrh is used to treat diarrhea, dyspepsia, and loss of appetite.
- Clary sage is effective for stimulating the production of gastric juices, relaxing the digestive tract, and improving appetite.
A thorough massage with one of the above essential oils (mixed with a carrier/base oil) will go a long way in lifting your mood, relieving body ache, and enhancing your digestive powers. The purpose of a massage is to take in the goodness of the oil directly through the skin.
As you can see, the advantageous effect of essential oils on digestion are abundant!
