Summary: Researchers report essential oils may help improve mood and symptoms in those with anxiety and depression due to anti-oxidant effects on the brain.
Source: Monash University
New research from Monash University scientists has uncovered why certain essential oils can benefit mood.
The findings are published today in the journal Neurochemistry International.
Essential oils (EOs) are mixtures of volatile compounds extracted from plants. They are used in aromatherapy because they can be released into the air and inhaled at room temperature. Inhaled EOs are readily taken up into the brain, which is distinct from bioactives in plant foods that are eaten.
However, despite the strong potential benefits for human health and especially for brain health, EO usage is not really optimized for type, or dose. This means that EOs are used in aromatherapy, without a good understanding of which ones are best for particular benefits. Until now, it wasn’t clear which types or what dose would produce the optimal benefit.
“Aromatherapy under particular conditions is reported to consistently enhance emotional health, including lowering anxiety and depression,” said Professor Louise Bennett, the study’s lead author from the Monash University School of Chemistry.
“However, achieving benefits requires understanding which types are best and what dose is required,” she said.
“We believe the interaction of essential oils with the naturally high levels of ascorbate (e.g. Vitamin C) in the brain can produce either anti-oxidant or pro-oxidant effects. It is the anti-oxidant, but not the pro-oxidant effects, that lead to the mood benefit,” said Professor Bennett.
For example, lavender EO has been consistently shown to produce a mood-improving effect, which researchers now believe is related to its strong anti-oxidant effect in the brain.
“For the first time, this work paves the way to select and classify EOs according to their mechanistic properties and to potentially develop inexpensive but effective therapies for the brain,” Professor Bennett said.
The study by Professor Bennett and Ph.D. candidate Minoli Aponso has been able to identify which EOs will benefit mood improvement and alternately, which ones will produce anti-infective properties.
“We are working towards developing EOs for a range of applications including: treating depression and anxiety, infection, inflammation and potentially even cancer,” Professor Bennett said.
The researchers are also working on understanding the dose required for beneficial effects.
“We can predict the volatile and potentially inhalable ‘dose’ of any EO and at any temperature, including climatic extremes,” said Minoli.
“This research represents a significant breakthrough as it characterizes the effects of EOs in the brain so as to optimisze their therapeutic potential.”

“Anxiolytic effects of essential oils may involve anti-oxidant regulation of the pro-oxidant effects of ascorbic acid in the brain” by Minoli Aponso et al. Neurochemistry International
Abstract
Anxiolytic effects of essential oils may involve anti-oxidant regulation of the pro-oxidant effects of ascorbic acid in the brain
Essential oils (EOs) absorbed via inhalation are consistently reported to produce anxiolytic effects. The underlying neurochemical mechanisms, however, are not well understood. High concentrations of ascorbate in the human brain (∼10 mM in neurons) implicates this compound as a key signaling molecule and regulator of oxidative stress.
In this study, we demonstrate the significant in vitro capacity of ascorbate to produce H2O2 in the presence of oxygen at physiological pH values, peaking at ∼400 μM for ascorbate levels of 1.0 mg/mL. In comparison, individual EOs and selected neurotransmitters at similar concentrations produced <100 μM H2O2.
Systematic studies with binary and ternary mixtures containing ascorbate indicated that EOs and neurotransmitters could variably enhance (pro-oxidant, POX) or suppress (anti-oxidant, AOX) the production of H2O2 versus the ascorbate control, depending on the concentration ratios of the components in the mixture.
Moreover, the AOX/POX chemistry observed with binary mixtures did not necessarily predict effects with ternary mixtures, where the POX ascorbate chemistry tended to dominate.
A model is proposed to account for the ability of compounds with electron-donating capacity to catalytically regenerate ascorbate from intermediate oxidized forms of ascorbate, thus driving H2O2 production and exerting a net POX effect; whilst compounds that irreversibly reacted with oxidized forms of ascorbate suppressed the production of H2O2 and produced an overall AOX effect.
Since the anxiolytic effects of different EOs, including extracts of Lavendula angustifolia (lavender) and Salvia rosmarinus (rosemary), were associated with AOX regulation of H2O2 production by ascorbate, it can be concluded that these anxiolytic effects are potentially related to the AOX properties of EOs.
In contrast, EOs driving POX effects (eg, Junipenus communis (Juniper) berry EO) are proposed to be more useful for their potential anti-microbial or cancer cytotoxic applications.

Michal Levin paintings Michal Levin has recently painted some beautiful works of art, and she has created some prints from them which are now for sale. When I first saw one of the prints a few weeks ago, I was deeply touched by it, and it’s quite rare for paintings to really move me, but when they do it feels such a wonderful experience. These prints felt almost alive and moving, as in animated, but also reminded me of the great masters of old – so both new fresh and alive and old at the same time. I now have one in my bedroom and it brings joy and expansiveness to me every day. So I wanted to share them with you. Michal has transmitted her energy deeply into her work.

Please note we only have a limited quantity.We are not sure at this stage if Michal will be making any more, but it is a possibility. It has been a huge amount of work and energy for Michal to create these very special and powerful energy remedies.Note from Kolinka Zinovieff: I have worked with Michal Levin now for nearly 25 years and her ability to help and transform peoples’ lives and energy is deeply inspiring. I have just put on the ‘Freedom from Fear’ remedy, as they arrived today, and I am really enjoying the experience. I am selling them at cost price, so all the money raised will go towards supporting Michal Levin and her work at the Michal Levin Institute. See below for more details or click: Michal Levin instituteI cannot think of any work more important than this to support, which is basically helping us all to become more integrated and who we truly are, deepening our connection with our hearts, our spirits and with humanity. ENERGY VIALS 2020A letter from Michal Levin ………..A request came from my friend and long-time member of our group, Kolinka Zinovieff of NHR Organic Oils, Kolinka remembered that many years ago I used to give clients energy remedies, in physical form, with some very successful results over a number of years. Couldn’t I make some remedies that would be useful now, he asked? As it happened, I had been experimenting with remedies for several months, and trying them out on myself. My body was compromised, perhaps by radiation exposure in childhood, and/or for whatever other reasons. As some of you know, I need to work hard on maintaining physical well-being. But physical remedies, even supplements, are often too harsh for me, so I have been experimenting with devising energy remedies. Kolinka’s question came at just the right time. I have found three “recipes” that I think are helpful in strengthening the body’s energetic core in the face of both internal and external pressures. Now – let’s be very clear. I am not suggesting a cure, or a vaccination or any kind of remedy against Covid19. Absolutely not. But I am suggesting three remedies that may, perhaps, on the subtle level that we work, help you maintain your energetic self in the turbulence of the current circumstances, and strengthen your core. I had not thought of offering them to anyone else. Not least because of the time, trouble and expense of doing so. It’s hard to describe the cost of formulating the remedies on me. The strongest active constituent in the remedies is my highest energy – just as when I offer as I occasionally still do, to take a group on a meditation journey and show them dimensions they would not reach by themselves, or harness the power of the light to offer them healing. I have tried to encapsulate a version of that energy in three different remedies. Now hearing what I was doing, Kolinka immediately offered help – practical, financial and admin help! So – I set to work. Of course, I have only been able to make a limited quantity, but with luck, in time, perhaps I may be able to make a few more. We have put together a pack of three tiny vials, each containing one of each of the three “energy remedies”. ……..But, of course, you can wear two or even three vials at the same time if you are drawn to do so. So, the three vials are: Peace and Purity, which comes with a blue ribbon. Freedom from Fear, which comes with a green ribbon. Brave and Beautiful, which comes with a black, or strong pink ribbon. If you would like to purchase a set you can do so here. I hope you enjoy my “energy remedies” and that they reach deep within you and strengthen your most authentic self. Go well, be well, Love Michal See https://www.michallevininstitute.com For more details on Michals work Click here to buy Remedies NEW KN95 Face Masks We are selling KN95 masks at cost price, as they are so needed now and much more effective than standard medical masks which don’t create an air seal around your face. KN95 do actually seal around the face and have an exhaust valve to let out your breath for use outside, and we have non valve version to use inside. Doctors and nurses now wear these masks as part of their PPE. It is important to understand there are now quite a few different types of mask and they all have different uses, some are very effective and some are not. This is leading to a lot of confusion and misunderstanding in the press and medical advice, as masks are being grouped together as one thing…. they are not. Medical masks are not as effective as a KN95 mask see photos below. You can also use a KN95 mask without a valve in enclosed spaces indoors, this will stop you spreading the virus which can escape through the KN95 valved version. But the valved KN95 mask is better to use outside or when you are exercising, when you need to breathe more deeply, or to allow your breath to escape more easily. In summary, use the facemask with the valve outdoors and the mask without the valve indoors to protect others. For greater detail on all the different masks click here: https://fastlifehacks.com/n95-vs-ffp/This pleated blue mask is called a medical mask. They are the standard issue and the thinnest, cheapest and least protective. They do help to stop spread the virus, but are not very effective at stopping you from catching it.This mask below is the KN95 or FFP2 or FFP3 depending on type. They are the most effective and we have them for sale with or without a valve. Click here to buy them KN95 mask with or without a valve Basic blue medical mask is not as good as KN95 masks COVID19 APP There is a really good Covid19 App, That records the Coronavirus symptoms, over 4 million people have been using in the UK over the last 6 months, reporting everyday how they feel and their symptoms. It is really helping the NHS with its research and tracking in real time the spread of the coronavirus, much more accurately. It’s free, try downloading and reporting daily. It helps us all understand the virus better.https://covid.joinzoe.com/ Help slow the spread of #COVID19 and identify at risk cases sooner by self-reporting your symptoms daily, even if you feel well . Download the app You can help fight COVID-19 by aiding research. Join 4,241,950 members of the public supporting the NHS and scientists in the UK. Together we can get out of lockdown safely and beat the disease. The top five symptoms in school aged children who test positive for COVID are; fatigue (55%) headache (53%) fever (49%) sore throat (38%) and loss of appetite (35%). This was different compared to the App’s data on adults; fatigue (87%) headache (72%) loss of smell (60%) persistent cough (54%) and sore throat (49%) In addition to this, research from the app has also found that one in six (15%) children who test positive for COVID also present with an unusual skin rash. NEW – Organic Anti-Tick, Mosquito & Midge Repellent Oil Blend Tick, Mosquito and Midge repellent oil & spray. Ticks and Lyme disease are getting ever more common in the UK and worldwide. Lyme disease is one those hidden and so often undiagnosed diseases that is causing so many people problems. Midges as many of us know are a real issue sometimes in Scotland and we are all familiar with mosquitos when we travel. Now in the South of England they are becoming more common. So I thought it was time to make a powerful tick, midge and mosquito repellent – an all one product in a concentrated oil and spray. It is really effective and you can buy it in concentrated oil form in three sizes with an optional spray top. (We also have an Organic Gum Healing Oil Blend, which is planned to be released later this year.) Click Here for more details NEW Organic Oils in detail – 2020 We are about to offer a Steam Distilled Organic Jasmine essential oil later this year. We are really excited to launch this new certified organic Jasmine food grade essential oil.It is the first time an organic essential oil from steam distillation has been made from Jasmine. It is such a beautiful oil we really recommend it. Traditionally the heat from steam distillation harms the essential oils in Jasmine flower petals and also to a lesser extent other flower oils such as Rose and Neroli.So after years of experimentation we are really excited to be able to offer a steam distilled organic Jasmine essential oil that is no longer harmed by the distillation process because of the changes in the technique. We cannot share this process with you – it is our grower’s ‘secret de maison’ and was worked on for many years. The oil will be available later this year, 2020.

Click Here for details or to buy NHR Organic Oils is supporting the Milimani Orphanage School in Kenya WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT PLEASE PLEASE HELP US RAISE £30,0000 NHR Organic Oils has been involved with the Milimani Orphanage in Kenya for a number of years now. It has 165 vulnerable children and around 15 staff and teachers. Recently it has been a huge challenge for them to find funding and the coronavirus is putting extra pressure on the orphanage. So this year I am with NHR Organic Oils funding the whole orphanage. I feel I am at the stage where giving back feels more and more needed and it is interesting how so many people are now feeling this. That is why it feels so rewarding and important to be able to use NHR Organic Oils to help and support and give us all an opportunity to help and support and transform in our lives, and for me the Milimani Orphanage.It is run by Victor Odula and it is his and my vision to transform it from a struggling orphanage into a thriving school with amazing opportunities for the children. A lot of the children are very vulnerable, some with HIV and little prospect of getting skills or a proper education. The school is in an area surrounded by extreme poverty with often the older children being forced or coerced into the sex trade and drugs to get enough money to survive and the only way to earn money. We have a real opportunity to work directly with this orphanage, which I know very well and have been involved with for over 15 years, so every pound you and we donate goes directly to them. Slide show of the girls at the orphanage The total running costs for the whole orphanage, all 15 staff and feeding the 165 children is less than £10,000 per year for everything. This is a huge amount of money to the orphanage, but to us, comparatively much less, as this amount would hardly pay the wages of one person in the UK. NHR Organic Oils is paying this amount at the moment to fund the orphanage. However the orphanage is only just surviving because of recent loss of funding and the coronavirus. I would love to see them thrive, and be given a real chance in all their lives, I think this is really possible and would not take that much money if we all pay a little bit, We need to raise £30,000. The money will pay for the following long term education and development projects which will last for years to come and transform the lives of these children. They will have then have the skills to actually work and make a living and earn their own money, and have a real chance in their lives.This money you donate will go towards the following: A forest and vegetable growing environmental Centre for both food and education – £1,565 Computer ICT Resource Centre and class with 20 PC’s allowing the children access to online education and learn to use the internet and computer skills – £7,001 A vocation Centre and workshop for carpentry and welding including all tools giving the children vocational skills to get work – £5,843A tailoring and dressmaking class with all material again giving the children vocational skills to get work – £4,114A farming course and a field on which to farm and grow food and crops to both feed the orphanage and learn how to feed themselves and for the children to set up for own farms in the future – £3.307 Transportation Vehicle £7,090GRAND TOTAL £28,921For full breakdown of costs please click hereThe total cost to set up all these projects and to a give the children real practical skills to both feed themselves and find work and transform their lives, rather than just survive, is only £28,921. These projects will last for many years to come and potentially transform hundreds of children’s lives.NHR Organic Oils is going to donate £5,000 of this amount on top of the running costs for the whole orphanage, that we already donate.Watch two short 1 minute videos of the children Click here and click here PLEASE will you help us raise the rest of the money, it is a relatively small amount of money for most us. If we all contribute £50 to £500, it will make a huge difference to hundreds of children for years to come, as this amount is a one-off fee to set up all these projects.

Your support has brought enormous contributions towards the orphaned children and the entire orphanage in general. With your financial support, we are able to feed the orphans at the school. The orphans only rely on this food we provide. Some of the kids are on HIV drugs which require them to feed properly. Feeding the children has always been a problem in the institution and we are glad you helped us go over it, we thank you for the support. We were also able to purchase learning materials for the children. We managed to pay teachers their monthly salaries and this has impacted positively on the teachers’ motivation to work without fear of lack of payments. We really appreciate your help and this has really helped us to steadily run the orphanage. We are looking forward to your continued support.” -Victor Odula (Director, Milimani Rusinga Organization) Click here to donate We have a NEW very strong Organic Antiviral blend of essential oils with Organic Liquid Soap, called Organic Antiseptic & Immune Defence Hand Wash / Liquid soap Also see: Organic Antiseptic & Immune Defence Essential Oil Organic ‘Thieves’ Essential Oil Organic Antiseptic & Immune Defence Essential Oil Water Really helpful for disinfecting and spraying face masks and hands Organic Antiseptic & Immune Defence Hand Wash / Liquid Soap A special blend of powerful antiseptic, antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal organic essential oils to aid immune defence and help protect your hands.

Any recommendations here are at your own risk and for you to evaluate your self and take full responsibility for their effectiveness we are not giving any guarantees. Basic hygiene and handwashing are one the most important actions, and to be fully protected you will need full-face double filter rubber masks, as worn with Hazmat suits in hospital, but the organic essential oils below can be a useful additional layer of protection which adds to a simple paper mask and good basic hygiene and handwashing.
Coronavirus Covod-19 and organic essential oils
We have been having lots of enquiries about the antiviral properties of organic essential oils, and advice on what might help with the Coronavirus Covod-19, especially when travelling on planes and trains and public transport etc The most effective idea we have come across from some of our customer’s recommendations is: To put 5-10 drops of organic Tea Tree essential oil onto your face mask every few hours or twice a day. Other Essential oils that have strong antiviral properties are Organic Eucalyptus, Organic Oregano, Organic Sage, Organic Thyme and Organic Manuka essential oils. These will add the traditional antiviral properties of organic essential oils to the lining of the mouth lungs and throat when you breathe them in through the mask. See research papers below on anti-viral nature of Tea Tree.
Please be aware of sensible use of essential oils and to rotate use of oils to give the body a day or two breaks between using oils, so as not to overload one system. Always get advice from a professional practitioner
