4. Anti-inflammatory Properties
Inflammation is responsible for almost every adverse health condition in human beings. Inflammation of the nervous system leads to cognitive issues with thinking and mental energy, while inflammation of the digestive system causes a drop in immune function. Doing all we can to limit the effects of inflammation on the body ensures that we live our lives in a state of optimal health at all times.
Using thieves oil can dramatically reduce symptoms of inflammation – the oil gets its anti-inflammatory properties from the eucalyptus and clove oil extract found in the formula. Studies by Japanese researchers found eucalyptus oil reduces the presence of COX-2, an enzyme that’s responsible for the development of inflammation in the body. Studies into rosemary essential oil also show promise as an anti-inflammatory compound.
Diffusing with thieves oil allows the potent polyphenol compounds in the oil to enter the bloodstream through the airways, reducing systemic inflammation in the body.
