The lemon essential oil (LEO), extracted from the fruit of lemon, has been used to treat multiple pathological diseases, such as diabetes, inflammation, cardiovascular diseases, depression and hepatobiliary dysfunction. Recent study was designed to study the effects of LEO on cognitive dysfunction induced by Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The number of people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) is expected to triple from now until 2050. Current drug treatment options do not slow or stop... its progression and only treat symptoms. A preclinical model of AD reported that inhaling lemon essential oil for one hour daily over the course of 30 days reduced cognitive dysfunction and improved memory. The oil increased synaptic density, synaptic plasticity, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and acetylcholine levels in the brain, all important for memory and cognition. . https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32392535/ See more

In today’s world, cancer and other chronic diseases seriously threaten human health, resulting in an increasing mortality rate year-by-year. Although modern medicine has made great progress in treating these diseases, most FDA-approved single-target drug preparations have some defects in the treatment of complex chronic diseases. Some even have serious side effects. For the treatment of diseases, especially chronic diseases, traditional natural drugs have more effective thera...peutic advantages because of their multi-target and multi-channel characteristics. Among many traditional natural medicines, resins frankincense and myrrh have been proven to be effective in the treatment of inflammation and cancer. In the West, frankincense and myrrh have been used as incense in religious and cultural ceremonies since ancient times; in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, they are used mainly for the treatment of chronic diseases. The main chemical constituents of frankincense and myrrh are terpenoids and essential oils. Their common pharmacological effects are anti-inflammatory and anticancer. More interestingly, in traditional Chinese medicine, frankincense and myrrh have been combined as drug pairs in the same prescription for thousands of years, and their combination has a better therapeutic effect on diseases than a single drug. After the combination of frankincense and myrrh forms a blend, a series of changes take place in their chemical composition, such as the increase or decrease of the main active ingredients, the disappearance of native chemical components, and the emergence of new chemical components. At the same time, the pharmacological effects of the combination seem magically powerful, such as synergistic anti-inflammation, synergistic anticancer, synergistic analgesic, synergistic antibacterial, synergistic blood-activation, and so on. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6749531 See more

Metabolic syndrome (a cluster of conditionsincreased blood pressure, excess body fat, high cholesterol and triglycerides, low HDL, high blood sugar--that increase the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease) promotes acute and chronic infections because of increased inflammation, which impairs immune function. In addition, metabolic syndrome alters the gut microbiome (dysbiosis), creating a more favorable environment for opportunistic pathogens. This is problemati...c because antibiotics are commonly administered to treat infections, exacerbating dysbiosis. A clinical study reported that oral administration of oregano CT carvacrol essential oil (2 drops mixed in equal parts sunflower oil) twice daily, for ten days, reduced minor infections with Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Escherichia coli without increasing dysbiosis. Moreover, the oil reduced diarrhea, gastrointestinal pain, and flatulence, and improved the subject’s health and cellular function. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7827761/ See more
