hey guys dr. Josh axe here doctor of natural medicine and founder of draxe.com co-founder of ancient nutrition hey do they want to talk to you about the top 10 essential oils all of us should be using and I have several essential oils maybe even one or two you haven't even heard of before you didn't know about and also talk about really what essential oils are bust some of them this out there so here's the deal essential oils are fat soluble compounds that come from plants okay so typically they're created by if steamed rice through something that separates water-soluble fat soluble compounds the facet of compounds that are much smaller and aromatic those are essential oils and those oils they're very light in fact essential oils are the compounds in them are probably a thousand times smaller than let's say what's found in a coconut oil or an olive oil they're so small that they actually you can smell them from across the room so you ever walk into a kitchen and maybe you smelled peppermint or ginger or something like that what you're smelling is those essential oils okay and there's there's very small to where they can pass through your science cavity some of them can pass through the blood-brain barrier and affect your brain and your emotions okay many of them are small enough they can pass and penetrate deep into your skin and body so they're very unique in a lot of ways but here's another unique thing they've been used they've been proven as a form of medicine for over 3,000 years they were referenced in traditional Chinese medicine aromatic medicine Egyptian medicine biblical medicine the reference more than 300 times in the Bible so essential oils are powerful plant-based compounds that are fat soluble they can act as natural remedies and therapy for a number of things and in fact many cases essential oils are they're always safer and in some cases more effective than conventional medicines today so again I'm gonna jump in here and talk about these and my top ten several ways to use essential oils one is food simply smelling it you can have a diffuser IV diffuser just over here in my kitchen that I use sometimes or actually should say everyday pretty much we have a diffuser going we have one in our bedroom Chelsea and I do and so we use essential oils all the time and so defusing it some of my smelling the men in effects your it affects your brain your emotions your hormones can affect you that way that's the most common way to use essential oils number two is topically you know if you get a cut or a scrape you can use essential oils if you want to support the health of your skin and your beauty you can use essential oils that's a big way and the third way is internally now listen many essential oils should not be used internally but many can be used internally if used at the right therapeutic doses typically between one and three drops of essential oil is equivalent to you know maybe 20 milligram well per drop is probably 20 milligrams so 3 drops of an oil is anywhere from you know probably 60 milligrams and that now depends because some oils are thick like Merson or thinner like like lemon oil but again typically one to three drops is a dose of an essential oil oils that I've used internally myself and I've had patients use lemon oil peppermint oil ginger oil tumeric essential oil those are all essential oils that there's a very similar equivalent to consuming the food or plant itself so for instance a lot of us use tumeric on our cooking today right so the equivalent of we're cinnamon let's say let's use cinnamon for example you know three drops of cinnamon oil is equivalent of probably of a third of a teaspoon to a full teaspoon of turmeric I'm sorry of cinnamon powder so if I can cinnamon here so again when people say oh you should never do essential oils internally that's not safe those are people that are uninformed or educated about the exact compound percentage that's about an actual plant so listen I do think some essential oils aren't quality if you're buying an essential oil that's certified organic wild crafted really good quality brand that understands good practices some essential oils like lemon and orange and peppermint and ginger those can be used internally but the truth is you know many essential oils are not the best use internally such as wintergreen and birch and others you never what you typically you know listen if it comes from an herb or a berry or a seed a lot of times you can if it comes from the one what a good tree or certain things you typically don't so there there you can simply Google search online essential oil usage chart and find those sort of things online but let's jump into the top ten essential oils and benefits number one essential oil lavender essential oil lavender ranks as the number one oil used today in North America and it's probably one of the top three used throughout the entire world including in Israel and in Asia today and lavender oil is known as the calming oil listen if you have a bird put lavender oil on it immediately in fact I found it to be even more effective than aloe vera for burns cuts and scrapes so again you get a burn first thing you do is you go and put lavender oil on and you keep doing that for the next two to three days okay whether it's a sunburn or you burn your hand I love lavender oil it's the best for that cuts and scrapes it's also calming you want to get a better night's sleep at night you want to reduce stress diffuse lavender oil you can do a couple drops and rub it so two to three drops put him on your fingertips rub it on your temples rub it on your neck area it's a great natural remedy so number one lavender essential oil number two tumeric essential well now turmeric oil can also be known as tumeric co2 extract and this is one that can be done internally in fact the main way you do tumeric oil is internally it contains compounds curcumin and two Marone curcumin is highly anti-inflammatory so if you've got joint pain your struggle with an issue that's related to inflammation turmeric essential oil it's liposomal which means it's highly absorbable gets into your cells and in fact tumeric essential oil might be the most powerful type of tumeric available today other reason is it's very high in a compound called tumor own tumor own is a compound in tumeric that boosts your body stem cells now stem cells can support regeneration create new tissues in your body so if you've torn a ligament or injured your low back and you want to create new and healthy tissue to Marone can support your body do that especially when it comes to tissue according to clinical studies so tumeric oil great for the brain and neurological system great for fighting inflammation great for stem cell support anti-aging it's one of my go-to essential oils so lavender tumeric number three holy basil essential so listen you might not have heard of turmeric or you may not have heard of holy basil essential oil and arithmetic medicine it was also called Tulsi it was known as the oil for acting as an adaptogen in lowering stress levels so if you're a person you've gotten to be adrenal fatigue you're just you mean you're just going going going you're in traffic you got stress at work stress at home lots of stress you want to keep those cortisol levels low you want to slow the aging process the best essential oil to do that is holy basil essential oil it's got a really it's got some really unique compounds one of them being called eugenol which is also found in clove oil but it's an anti stress high antioxidant oil diffusing it is the best way to use that on a regular basis loving holy basil oil for reducing the stress response to the body next essential all I want to talk about this peppermint oil peppermint essential oil is one of my favorites for digestion for energy okay so typically you're just gonna do between 1 and 3 drops of peppermint oil and water do that around meals it's cooling and soothing for stomachaches and actually can prevent reduce nausea if someone's suffering with that but peppermint oil the other thing is study has shown if you just simply smell it before going to workout it increases your energy you're gonna add a couple drops to if you're doing like a chocolate smoothie in the morning and make it chocolate mint the peppermint oil has been used primarily for digestive health and those types of things next few essential oils one dimension here frankincense oil frankincense oil is one of the top essential oils for just to use every single day it's anti-inflammatory it actually reduces brain inflammation I love using that oil when meditating next essential oil rosemary oil the number one oil for thickening your hair and supporting your memory and brain hey if you have a test coming up use rosemary oil it's great to use with kids as well who need to support learning in fact doing a lavender and rose together and cedarwood or that ever great for the brain things like ADHD some of my favorites lemon oil is great for digestion for your gall bladder and cleansing your lymphatic system if you're sick with a cold or flu or just want to cleanse your body lemon oil and other citrus oils are great a few others that I absolutely love here as well I want to mention ginger oil ginger oil is warming in Chinese medicine again if you've got a quarter flu or digestive issue a couple drops of ginger oil just doing that internally is great and then cinnamon oil it's great to diffuse especially for diabetes blood sugar issues or even supporting healthy weight loss I love cinnamon essential oil so that's my top ten list I think I hit them all there are one last one hormone balance Clary sage is awesome for women Clary sage for women fenugreek for men I hope you guys have enjoyed this video on the top 10 essential oils to start using today
