Using Caraway Essential Oil

Caraway

This is a new oil to my collection and I was lucky to get it through a deal because it isn't an oil you can normally have. So far I haven't done much with it, but it is interesting to know more about caraway because it is one of the components of the Digestzen Terrazyme, which helps to aid digestion.  

Evidence of Caraway goes back to the Stone age and Ancient Egyptians used it in herbal preparations.

Uses

When it comes to healthy digestion and soothing the body, you can count on Caraway, which offers powerful gastrointestinal support when ingested.

 When life throws you tummy troubles, you can keep calm and Caraway on.

Usage Tips:

• After a large meal or trying new foods, take Caraway internally.
• The aroma of Caraway is soothing after a big meal
• Use Caraway oil in your cooking.
• Apply one drop to your toothbrush along with your toothpaste.

What Is Caraway Essential Oil Used For?

Caraway oil is used for several things, but it is most commonly used internally for digestive support.

There are a few ways to take it internally. You can simply add it to a beverage or take it in a veggie capsule, but you can cook with it as well.

Additionally, Caraway can help with weight management when taken internally. In clinical studies, Caraway extract exhibited properties helpful to reducing appetite and managing weight when combined with exercise.

Limonene and carvone—two of the main essential oil constituents in Caraway essential oil—can also be soothing to the body when ingested. In experimental research, ingestion of limonene was soothing to the colon and carvone showed soothing properties on the nervous system.

What Does Caraway Smell Like?

Caraway essential oil smells herbaceous and slightly woody. A drop or two of Caraway makes a great addition to oil blends as a warm yet fresh note.

Cooking with Caraway Oil

The next time a recipe calls for caraway, try using Caraway essential oil instead.

It is incredibly potent, so a little goes a long way, and you’ll also be accessing all of Caraway’s fabulous internal benefits.

Start with a toothpick’s amount. You can always add more, but you can’t take any out! If after adding a toothpick’s amount you still want more flavour, you can add more with a toothpick or you can add one drop.

Putting the drop into a spoon and stirring it will help you avoid accidentally adding extra drops straight into your dish.

Caraway works well with Coriander, Spearmint, Fennel, Ginger and Peppermint

Other oils include Roman Chamomile and Bergamot 

Directions for Use

Diffusion: Use three to four drops in the diffuser of your choice.
Internal use: Dilute 1- 2 drops in 4 fluid ounces of liquid.
Topical use: Apply one to two drops to desired area. Dilute with a carrier oil to minimise any skin sensitivity.

Do you need help with your Digestion?

Digestive Enzymes

Enzymes are specialised proteins that serve as catalysts in almost all cellular functions and chemical reactions in the body including breathing, detoxification, immune function to name a few of the thousands of biochemical functions that occur in your body.

Enzymes are necessary for the proper digestion and conversion of food nutrients into vital energy as well as health because the nutrients they provide are key for cellular function and communication.

Those that originate in the body are known as endogenous enzymes. Metabolic enzymes active in the blood, tissues and organs regulate metabolic activities. Digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas help convert food into usable nutrients. 

Enzymes originating from outside the body are called exogenous and you obtain them through the food you eat or via supplements. Cooking or processing food destroys enzymes. The best source is from fresh raw plant bases foods and helps reduce the demand for endogenous enzymes produced by the body.

The capacity to properly digest food is limited by enzymes from internal production and external sources. Digestion will be slowed if there is insufficient enzymes consumed through food sources or if your body cannot make enough endogenous enzymes.

Lactase is the enzyme that digest milk, sugar and lactose and when undigested lactose goes into the colon where excess water is allowed to enter and more gas is produced by bacteria. This causes gastrointestinal discomfort with bloating, flatulence and diarrhoea being the outcome. The body may shift enzyme production from metabolic enzymes to digestive ones meaning vital metabolic activities in the body are affecting causing you to feel sluggish and not at your best.

Digestzen TerraZyme

DigestZen TerraZyme is a proprietary blend of 10 active whole-food enzymes that help with digestion of proteins, fats, complex carbohydrates, sugars, fibre, and other food nutrients.

What Makes Digestzen TerraZyme Unique?

DigestZen TerraZyme can also be used as targeted support for specific food intolerances of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, such as lactose.

 

Digestzen TerraZyme Uses and Benefits

 

The blend of 10 active whole-food enzymes often deficient in cooked, processed, and preservative-heavy foods helps bolster natural production and aids with difficult-to-digest foods.

Why is cellular health so important?

The importance of Cellular health in your body

Did you know there are millions of specialised cells in your body in constant communication with each other via chemical pathways? 

Cells are the building blocks of life ensuring healthy tissues and organs. All living organisms depend on cellular reproduction and the specialised function of cells and their energy production. 

Your cellular function will deteriorate as you age resulting in decreased energy performance and oxidative stress to the cellular DNA and other key cell structures, while toxins challenge cell health.

A healthy lifespan of cells is key for their vitality. When they do not function optimally the body systems depending on those cells begin dying.

Cells receive and process information from the external environment such as temperature changes, nutrient availability and variations in light. They are regulated by the cell DNA in the nucleus where information is stored. 

Healthy cells are reproduced, perform specialised functions and self destruct when they are no longer useful to make way for new healthy cells.

If the DNA or critical cell structures are damaged then the process is compromised.  

Mitochondria

Mitochondria are cellular structures where oxygen and food nutrients are metabolised to make energy. Healthy mitochondria produce efficient power with less metabolic waste. If there is too much the natural antioxidant defence system in the body will take care of it.

Again the number and efficiency of cellular mitochondria decrease as you age with a decrease in energy performance and produce more toxic waste products. These form free radicals that damage the cellular DNA and critical cell structures causing healthy cell function to be disrupted.

AMP-activated protein kinase AMPK 

AMPK is a special enzyme present in all cells and regulates how long a cell lives and how well it produces energy.

Cellular waste and damaged proteins accumulate in cells as you age due to a decline in the activity of AMPK. 

Overeating has a similar effect on sells with diminished AMPK activity including unwanted weight gain, poor metabolic activity and decreased longevity. 

Free radicals

Free radicals are unstable molecules that cause havoc in your cells. Molecules have an even number of electrons which are bonded as pairs. Free radicals are missing 1 or more paired electrons and spare electrons will steal electrons from stable molecules turning them in to free radicals to continue this destructive cycle.

Cellular DNA and other critical cell structures damaged by free radical cell won't function optimally.

Antioxidants

To defend against free radicals you need antioxidants. These electron rich molecules safely neutralise free radicals by giving an electron to them before they can damage vital molecules.

DNA damage from free radicals is prevented by employing antioxidants. 

You obtain antioxidants from food and supplements or manufacture  endogeneous antioxidants internally to keep oxidative stress in check.

Antioxidants produced by the body have a short life cycle and this limits their ability to neutralise a great number of free radicals.
