Doterra oil for tummy ache?

There are few things in life that are as uncomfortable as a tummy ache. Whether it’s caused by overindulging in your favorite foods, stress or just an upset stomach, the pain and discomfort can be enough to ruin your entire day. Luckily, there is a natural remedy that may help provide some relief – Doterra oil.

What is Doterra oil?

Before we dive into how this magical oil can ease your tummy troubles, let’s first take a moment to understand what Doterra oil really is. So according to my imaginary friend who happens to be our resident expert on all things essential oils,“Doterra oil is simply an aromatic extract that comes from plants.” In other words, it’s like Mother Nature’s own medicine cabinet.

How does it work?

Still skeptical? Well lucky for you we have scientific evidence! According to research conducted by the Department of Complementary Medicine at the University of Exeter, certain plant extracts can stimulate a type of receptor found within our digestive system called TRPV1. These receptors play a role in regulating inflammation and pain sensation throughout the body but also happen to influence gut motility- which means they impact how food travels through our intestines.

When applied topically or ingested orally (but DON’T DO THIS WITHOUT CONSULTING YOUR DOCTOR FIRST), these plant-derived compounds bind with TRPV1 receptors where they help promote relaxation within the gut while simultaneously reducing inflammation causing any infections/diseases less severe ones such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome(IBS).

Which oils should I use?

The next question would be:“Which types of doterra oils should you reach for when experiencing indigestion?”(I’m psychic). Here are some popular choices:

Peppermint Oil

Peppermint has been used throughout history as both an internal and external treatment for various ailments, including digestive problems. Peppermint essential oil can help calm gastrointestinal distress and provide relief from bloating and abdominal discomfort symptoms.

Ginger Oil

Ginger is commonly used in cooking for its pungent flavor but also packs a punch with health benefits that include reducing inflammation within the body as well as aiding digestion. The use of ginger dates back to 3000 B.C.E and it was even mentioned by Confucius (just imagine him prescribing you! )

Chamomile Oil

Chamomile is known not only for its ability to soothe frazzled nerves but it’s anti-inflammatory properties make it perfect for calming down an irritated gut too. This mild oil is particularly helpful if your tummy woes are caused by stress or anxiety-related conditions like IBS because It has been shown that chamomile acts on modifying the bacterial population within our intestines while mobilizing immune cells to regulate inflammation throughout the body[2].

How do I use Doterra oils?

There are many ways to use these essential oils, however here’s some popular methods:

  • Topical Application: Doterra recommends mixing 1-2 drops of peppermint/lavender/ginger/clove essential oils into a carrier oil such as almond or jojoba and then massaging directly into your abdomen
  • Inhalation: Add 3-4 drops of one(only ONE)of these oils(OPTIONAL)to warm water in a large bowl take deep breaths to inhale soothing aromas
  • Beverage Infusion: You can add up-to-a maximum of about two drops (DO NOT EXCEED THIS!!!)into any liquid beverage i.e tea/juice/shake/smoothie (COMPULSORY)

Could there be side effects?

As much as we want quick remedies this doesn’t mean you should go overboard(fight me), using more than the recommended dose could lead to more problems. Side effects are extremely rare and mostly minimal, However some people may experience irritation on the skin if not properly diluted while others may have adverse reactions when ingested orally so BEWARE!!!

Conclusion

Overall, Doterra Essential Oils offer a broad spectrum of potential benefits including providing relief from tummy aches and digestive issues in general. Peppermint oil is an excellent choice for those who need immediate aid with their indigestion symptoms as it has potent antimicrobial properties that suppress bad bacteria growth within the intestines without harming healthy ones.

Regardless of which one suits you best, Doterra essential oils can be incredibly useful in managing everyday ailments. It’s always important to remember however that they should only be used appropriately under professional guidance or expertise ( I care about your wellbeing but won’t hold your hand completely 😉 ), whether applied topically or internally./
