Essential oils

Essential oils themselves are formed in the chloroplasts of the leaves where they incorporate with sugar to form glucides and are then distributed around the plant in this kind. At specific times of the day or year they are saved in particular parts of the plant.

In some plants, the essential oils are produced by the secretory tissues, and in others they are incorporated with glycosides, and are therefore not detectable until the plant is dried or crushed, e.g.: Valerian

Essential oils are looked upon as to be an important part of the plant's metabolic process: some have hormonal task and others are a phase in some other procedure, e.g.: the oil found in the rind of the orange is a phase in Vitamin A synthesis.

Essential oils can be discovered in practically any part of the plant, in varying concentrations, depending on the plant itself, the time of day and year. They might be discovered in the roots (e.g.: Calamus and Valerian), flowers (e.g. Lavender, Rose,), bark (e.g. Sandalwood, Cedarwood), fruits (e.g.: Lemon, Cardamom, Orange), berries (e.g. Juniper), leaves (e.g. Thyme, Rosemary, Sage).

Plants which contain essences should be picked at the correct time of day and in the proper year, and in particular weather conditions in order that a maximum yield of the essential oils can be obtained, and obviously, similar to all dietary or medicinal plants, dirt conditions, and weather conditions will also direct the quality of the oils obtained.

Heavy, focused oils are called ABSOLUTES e.g.: Rose, Jasmine, Oils which are solid at room temperature level and which have to be warmed prior to use are called BALSAMS, e.g.: Benzoin and Camphor.

HOW DO ESSENTIAL OILS WORK?

Essential oils are known to have an effect on us in three various, however overlapping, ways.

a)On the physical body, both in your area and systemically, via the lymphatic and blood circulation.

b)On the mind and emotions through the Sense of Smell and the Limbic System.

c)On the "Etheric Energy System" of the body through the energy vibration of the specific oils themselves.

The Means Essential Oils Effect the Physical Body

When Essential oils are put on the area of the body, either by means of Massage, Baths, Compresses, Creams or Lotions, they will have an impact in your area (i.e. the website at which they are used), and Systemically (i.e. throughout the body). The Systemic impact happens when essential oils are soaked up with the skin into the Lymphatic Circulation, and they are then dumped from the Lymphatic circulation into the blood stream.

Once the oils are circulating in the blood, they are reached their TARGET ORGAN/S, where they apply a healing effect on the particular tissues. Every Vital oil has its own Target Organ, e.g. Juniper oil targets the urinary system and kidneys in particular, with secondary effects on the Digestive, Respiratory and Reproductive Systems. Chamomile Oil targets the Nervous System by means of which it could then apply a broad effect on many other body Systems, like the Digestive Tract for instance.

Even when Essential oils are inhaled just, say in the type of a steam inhalation for a cold or as a fumigator for a background "psychological" impact, the oils will be absorbed around the mucous membranes of the Respiratory Tract and lungs into the blood stream, where once again, they can travel around the body extremely rapidly.

If Essential Oils are taken by mouth, their absorption through the Mucosa of the stomach and into the blood is extremely fast. Really few essential oils are in fact 'digested', which is fortunate as their Healing principles might well be changed if this were the case.

The reason why Essential Oils act in this manner in the body is due to the fact that the molecules of which they are composed are organic molecules and very little. Below are some of the more usual Therapeutic Characteristics which can be acquired by using Essential Oils.

Pepper Spray For Women


SEXUAL VIOLENCE


According to the National Crime Victimization Survey, which includes crimes that were not reported to the police, 232,960 women in the U.S. were raped or sexually assaulted in 2006. That’s more than 600 women every day. Other estimates, such as those generated by the FBI, are much lower because they rely on data from law enforcement agencies. A significant number of crimes are never even reported for reasons that include the victim’s feeling that nothing can/will be done and the personal nature of the incident.


THE TARGETS


Young women, low-income women and some minorities are disproportionately victims of domestic violence and rape. Women ages 20-24 are at greatest risk of nonfatal domestic violence, and women age 24 and under suffer from the highest rates of rape. The Justice Department estimates that one in five women will experience rape or attempted rape during their college years, and that less than five percent of these rapes will be reported. Income is also a factor: the poorer the household, the higher the rate of domestic violence — with women in the lowest income category experiencing more than six times the rate of nonfatal intimate partner violence as compared to women in the highest income category. When we consider race, we see that African-American women face higher rates of domestic violence than white women, and American-Indian women are victimized at a rate more than double that of women of other races.

Another Jogger Tragedy – Los Angeles, California

As reported by the LA TImes – http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-missing-arrest2-2010mar02,0,2987218.story . Read the rest of the story using the provided link.

First a jog, then a deepening sense of dread – Four days after Chelsea King’s disappearance, her family, and hundreds of volunteers, were still searching. But their hopes of finding her alive dimmed with the arrest of a sex offender.

Jogger tips:

1. Know the Surrounding Area

If traveling on business or vacation, before setting out on your morning or evening jog, inquire about the area. The hotel staff can be very helpful. Is the area safe? Is there a local park? In most cases, the receptionist or concierge will provide reliable and helpful information. Also, pay attention to local news reports. If the area receives several crime reports, skip the jog. It is always a good habit to jog with a friend and both of you should carry some sort of joggers pepper spray.

2. Don’t Let Your Guard Down

An early morning or late afternoon jog can be very calming. For this reason, many women jog with headsets. Although music will help you maintain a pace, it’ll also distract from the sound of someone following you. Muggers and sexual predators look for easy targets. They may even disguise themselves as fellow joggers, and casually approach you. Always be on guard. Cross the street if someone starts to jog toward you. If you can’t cross the street, keep your eyes fixed on the person until he passes. Continue jogging and periodically look behind you to make sure he hasn’t turned around. If you are carrying a pepper spray (and you should be), keep your hands on the pepper spray and be ready to spray it if needed.

3. Don’t Jog at Night

Because of daylight savings time, the sun may not rise as early. Thus, it’s still dark at 6 and 7 in morning. An early morning jog can be tempting; however, it’s not safe. Wait until the sun rises. Also, try and find a jogging partner. This could be the next door neighbor, spouse, or dog. Constantly scan the surrounding area, and avoid jogging close to large vehicles or dumpsters. These are perfect hiding places for a mugger. Whenever possible, stay on the main street within view of passerby’s. Remember, keep your pepper spray with you.

4. Carry a Safety Device

Joggers like to be free. In other words, they don’t want to carry wallet, house keys, etc. However, you might consider a small can of pepper spray. Some sprays are very convenient and attach to key chains or bracelets worn around the wrist. This way, you can defend yourself during an attack.

Consider a pepper spray that can be easily carried while jogging. Always keep the element of surprise in your favor!

Why Pepper Spray

Why Pepper Spray?



Pepper Spray is a great means of self defense that everyone should consider carrying. It is non-lethal and legal in all U.S. states (check exceptions and regulations). It inflames, causes coughing, choking, nausea, and dilates the eyes causing temporary blindness while not causing permanent damage. The typical range is about ten feet. Pepper spray used properly during an assault could save your life. Spray into the eyes of the attacker and get the heck out of there.


Pepper Spray protection against 2 and 4 legged creatures

Not only is pepper spray effective for protection against 2 legged creatures, but it is also good insurance against the 4 legged variety. This morning I happened upon an article about a Montana bear attack at a popular campground that unfortunately killed one person and injured two others. The story goes on to site instances where pepper spray had been used to ward off bear attacks. The story reminded me of the times when we’ve camped in northern California where we’ve seen our share of black bears (which pale in comparison to the danger of Grizzly or Brown bears). I had always been prepared while out in the wilderness areas by carrying a can of pepper spray for bears. Fortunately I’ve never had to use it.


Pepper Spray protection for women

It is even more important for women to carry pepper spray since they are targets for rape and can be more easily overpowered by a male attacker. My wife carries pepper spray in a recommended manner while walking to or from her vehicle. She has a perfect size fairly small canister attached to her key chain and while walking to the vehicle, lets say from a store that she just left, she holds the keys by the canister itself. It makes for a natural way to hold the key set. Many women will wait to take their keys out of their purse until they get to the vehicle. Wrong. The keys should be out before exiting the store (or wherever). One should walk confidently while simply being consciously aware of what is around them as they walk. Far too many people appear narrowly focused and oblivious to their surroundings as they walk and could easily be surprised by a predator.


Pepper Spray configurations

Pepper spray comes in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and formulas and is available from a wide range of manufacturers. One could begin over analyzing what is the best mixture, size, release method, etc., but in my opinion simply taking the first step and buying some, is the best thing that you can do. It is easy to order online, just search for it.

Pepper spray canisters are designed with different spray patterns which include stream, foam, fog, and gel. The most common pepper spray discharge is probably the stream pattern as it can be aimed directly. The fog pattern can be effective when trying to incapacitate more than one target at a time, however you may experience some blow-back yourself since it is a fog. Just move away or backward as you spray. Foam or gel discharge seem to me to be a very good choice since the wind or blow-back will not be an issue.

An important thing to remember is that pepper spray does have an expiration date. It will not suddenly lose its effectiveness but it apparently will not be as potent over time. So, be aware to check and re-order if necessary, else be caught in a bad situation without protection.
Pepper Spray use-case scenarios

Think a bit about how you will intend to carry it or keep it. Then choose the right style for the purpose in mind. For example, as I mentioned, the key chain variety is one style that suits its purpose. Another use-case is hiking in the woods or bear country. For me, a canister with a belt clip is perfect for that scenario. Another use-case for us is in our vehicles. Typically there is a small canister within reach while inside the vehicle. In this case, instead of a darker color canister (so as not to be obvious), we chose bright yellow so it could be quickly and easily found during the heat of the moment. Another use-case may be to carry concealed in a pocket, so something small or shaped in a way that is more comfortable will be desirable. There are plenty to pick from, so just give it a moments thought and then go ahead and order yourself some protection.



Pepper Spray laws

In today’s world of increasing regulation and laws that thwart personal self protection, I believe that pepper spray is still legal in all 50 U.S. states, although there are some regulations pertaining to its purchase, possession, and use. Remember to check the laws in your country, state, or city before carrying. Based on a bit of online research, I believe that pepper spray is prohibited in all of Asia, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Belgium, Denmark, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom, and Canada.
