    FAMILY PHYSICIAN with Essential Oils “I Finally Figured out How to Use Essential Oils—TAKE OFF the CAP”

    FAMILY PHYSICIAN With Essential Oils “I finally figured out how to use essential oils—TAKE OFF THE CAP” You can use all of the oils 3 ways; Topically, Internally (drip into an empty gel cap) and with the diffuser. If the bottle has a ‘supplement’ box on the label, you can feel completely safe using it internally. When diluting* the essential oils, use one drop of Coconut Oil for one or two drops of the essential oil. It is not necessary to dilute the essential oils, but for some essential oils which are particularly cool (Peppermint, Wintergreen) or hot (Oregano, Cinnamon, Clove, Cassia), it may not be comfortable on your skin without diluting, and may be particularly uncomfortable for a child. If you use an oil without diluting and it is uncomfortable to the recipient, simply apply a small amount of coconut oil and it will quickly resolve the problem. Also, if you are using the oils on an open sore or wound, it is always a good idea to dilute with coconut oil. Diffusion is powerful because the child can breathe it in and it kills microorganisms in the air which helps stop the spread of sickness. If the oils get in the eyes, it will sting but will not do damage. Simply rub a few drops of your diluter oil on the eye and it will help to relieve the suffering. You can combine and mix any of the oils as much as you like and the oils are safe with any medication. If you are not sure how to apply the oil, know that you can ALWAYS rub it on the bottoms of the feet and you will get the full affect.

The volatile oil content obtained by hydrodistillation was 1.91%. Ten compounds representing 98.3% of the oil was identified. The main constituents of the oil obtained from dried fruits were trans-anethole (93.9%) and estragole (2.4%). The olfactorially valuable constituents that were found with concentration higher than 0.06% were (E)-methyeugenol, α-cuparene, α-himachalene, β-bisabolene, p-anisaldehyde and cis-anet- hole. Also, the different concentrations of anise oil exerted varying levels of inhibitory effects on the mycelial growth of Alternaria alter- nata, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus parasiticus used in experimental.

Essential oil, fixed oil and many other valuable extractive compounds with industrial applications are prepared from caraway. This review article has new deep research on caraway as medicinal plant. For preparing the manuscript, the information was extracted from accessible international databases (Google scholar, PubMed, Science direct, Springer, and Wiley), electronic resources and traditional books by key word of caraway or Carum carvi. The results of traditional studies exhibited that the galactagogue and carminative effects of caraway fruits are superior to other effects. Although, the traditional scholars used it as appetizer, while caraway was the main ingredient of anti-obesity drugs in traditional medicine, which has been confirmed in two modern clinical trials of human studies. Caraway oil in combination with peppermint oil or menthol is used for treatment of functional dyspepsia in clinical studies. Caraway oil topically on abdomen relieves the IBS symptoms in patient. Although, the use of caraway oil is not recommended in adults under 18 years due to insufficient data, but it can topically use as anti-colic and carminative agent in children or infants. The anti- aflatoxigenic, antioxidant and antimicrobial effects of caraway oil along with its reputation as spice help the industries to use it as natural preservatives and antioxidant agents.
