Helicobacter pylori is the main pathogen responsible for peptic ulcer formation. Left untreated, peptic ulcers can cause chronic gastritis and lymphoma. Laboratory research showed that geranium essential oil inhibits H. pylori and significantly enhances the antibacterial activity of the antibiotic clarithromycin. Although human clinical studies are necessary, this promising research suggests that geranium essential oil may be a natural solution for peptic ulcer caused by H. pylori, either alone or in combination with clarithromycin.

I always have peppermint around!

Peppermint is known for its digestive support and ability to reduce nausea and vomiting. A clinical study found that inhalation of peppermint essential oil significantly reduces nausea following abdominal surgery. Subjects inhaled a 10% or 30% concentration of peppermint oil that was mixed with 2 mL of distilled water and added to a gauze pad. The subjects inhaled this mixture for five minutes to experience relief.

Wow, who doesn't like lemon? and I would be inclined to diffuse it with Rosemary, another great memory booster!

Many people love lemon essential oil because of its uplifting aroma and ability to promote feelings of happiness but a recent preclinical study suggests it may help you retain those happy memories as well. Inhalation of lemon essential oil reversed cognitive decline in an experimental model of Alzheimer's disease by improving synaptic density in the hippocampus (an area of the brain important for short- and long-term memory) and making more acetylcholine available to the brain (a neurotransmitter important form memory and learning). Overall, the research suggests that lemon oil may help improve memory and cognition.

Citrus essential oils are great for mood and stress. A clinical study found that inhalation of sweet/wild orange essential oil reduces stress while performing calculation tasks. Three groups performed a 30-minute task intended to trigger psychological stress. One group intermittently inhaled 1% orange EO, another 20% orange EO, and a third group no aroma. To determine the effects of orange oil on stress, heart rate, heart rate variability, and nose tip temperature were evaluated. Both oil groups experienced balanced sympathetic to parasympathetic nervous system function, suggesting a reduction in stress, with the 20% orange oil having the greatest impact.

Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation and ulcers in your digestive tract (the innermost lining of your large intestine and re**um). It most commonly develops in people aged 15 to 30 years old.

Preclinical research suggests that the administration of myrrh essential oil alleviates ulcerative colitis by reducing inflammation and improving antioxidant activity.
