Gas Chromatographyand

Mass Spectrometry

• Gas Chromatography: Separates the sample into its individual constituents

• Mass Spectrometry: Identifies them and the percentage with which they make up the sample

Microbial Testing

Testing for any bacteria, yeast, mold, etc.

Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)

Identifies the chemical bonds of organic materials as well as any organic contaminates in the sample.

ESSENTIAL OIL SAFETY Very safe and gentle without side effects Keep out of eyes, ears, and nose Dilute with vegetable oil, not water Skin sensitivity primary safety issue Follow all label directions

Aromatic• Purify the air• Aid in respiratory

function• Affect the mood

• These molecules bind in distinct arrangement on the receptors

• While there are only 1,000 unique odor receptors, the sequence of binding can produce over 10,000 individual perceptions of odor

• Aromatic molecules attach themselves to millions of odor receptors

Odor Receptors

Odor Receptors Hypothalamus

• Molecules from the olfactory nerve carry impulses to the hypothalamus

• Different hormones are released based on the stimuli that is received

• Serotonin=Sedative• Noradrenalin=Invigorating

Scientific Research

Much anecdotal evidence exists regarding the positive effects of essential oils.

Peppermint: Postoperative Nausea

Nausea is among the most common postoperative complications.

Although there are a variety of antiemetic drugs available to treat nausea, none of these have been shown to be totally effective and they all have potentially unpleasant side effects.

Evidence suggests that inhaled peppermint essential oil can relieve postsurgical nausea.

Control GroupReceived no treatment

Placebo GroupReceived peppermint

essence Experimental Group

Received peppermint essential oil

Conclusion• Overall, the experimental group

(using Peppermint essential oil) reported less nausea than the other two groups.

• Interestingly, the Placebo Group (using Peppermint Essence) reported their severity of nausea to be more than twice that of the experimental group.

Influenza Virus:the potential role of an essential oil in antiviral activity

Protective essential oil attenuates influenza virus infection

BACKGROUND:

Influenza is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality.

H1N1 influenza virus has stressed the importance of the search for effective treatments for this disease.

Essential oils from aromatic plants have been used for a wide variety of applications, such as personal hygiene, therapeutic massage and even medical practice.

Results• Influenza virus infectivity

was suppressed by essential oil treatment—On Guard Blend.

• Embryonic viral particles released from influenza viral cells was reduced by 90% when treated with 1:4,000 dilution and by 40% when treated with 1:6,000 dilution.

• Oil treatment of the virus also decreased direct infection of the cells as the number of infected cells decreased by 90% when treated with 1:2,000 dilution and by 45% when treated with 1:3,000 dilution.

• Based on DNA & protein analysis, On Guard stops the protein coat at the Enodplasmic Reticulum

• Suppressed H1N1 Virus and decreased direct infection of the cells
