防中風及血栓的芳香療法精油

冬天是心臟血管疾病好發的季節,有時我們甚至會聽到,有些壯年人也會心肌梗塞,事實上可以把一些藥草及芳療當做日常保健的功課,能夠及早保護這個看不見的殺手。以下分述那些精油最有護心、降高血壓及減少動脈栓塞。

永久花:這是一種生長在地中海沿岸的野生花朵,由於乾燥後,小小嫩黃如菊的花朵仍會保持新鮮的鵝黃,因具永不凋謝的特性,所以又稱蠟菊,精油是取其花朵萃取,但其精油味道並非商業品牌保養品那般,我合作的永久花農花目前主要來自東歐二個國家,由於天然的少雨及石灰岩地形,極適合永久花生長,美國雖然也有種植永久花,但產量一直無法商業化,我很愛使用永久花精油混合金縷梅及歐蓍草純露於傷口消毒,尤其是我家人有糖尿病數十年,傷口很難痊癒,永久花精油以促進肌膚再生為名,同時又有化瘀的效果,我每天也使用含有永久花純露及永久花精油製成的乳霜。

有人俗稱永久花精油是芳療中的「超級山金車」(super arnica of aromatherapy),因為山金車是藥草中化瘀止痛的草名藥草。

新鮮的永久花精油具有咖哩及果實味,價格雖然比較高,但保健功效高,我在調製的金盞花膏中即有高比例的永久花精油。目前研究已知永久花中「乙酸橙花酯」(Neryl acetate)成份,因為有抗炎及止痛作用,具有減除肝臟疲勞及冠狀病症狀,適合血栓造成的心臟病、腦中風及心臟支架等保健使用。

快樂鼠尾草:請注意快樂鼠尾草精油跟鼠尾草精油不同,鼠尾草植物很常用於料理用,減少肉類腥味,其精油有退燒消炎的效果,但因鼠尾草精油有「側柏酮」( thujone),會進入腦壁,不易代謝,要特別注意安全劑量及使用期限,最好在合格芳療師監測下使用。

快樂鼠尾草的藥草未用於料理,精油一般最常用於更年期不順如睡不好、熱潮紅、高血壓及經前症候群如經痛、心慌及不孕症,是女性生理精油必備的成份;精油是取其花朵及頂端葉子萃取,它可以長得跟人一樣高,它含高量的「沈香醇」(linalool)所以很容易用合成的沈香醇來造假製造快樂鼠尾草。快樂鼠尾草很適合更年期時期會心悸及心跳快的婦女使用,可以與真正薰衣草及玫瑰天竺葵混合成3%,全身按摩使用。

另外如果你步入五十歲,皮膚開始老化鬆弛,可以加入幾滴快樂鼠尾草精油到你的乳液中,能夠減少皺紋。

馬鬱蘭:馬鬱蘭也是很常用的香料植物,萃取常用其莖葉,嗅聞可以減輕偏頭痛、易怒及血壓高,很適合生病後調養的人使用,用於按摩油或嗅聞。

伊蘭伊蘭:它是熱帶才有的特殊花朵,植物原文是指「香水樹」的意思,在印尼文化中,會在新房裡灑滿伊蘭花,伊蘭有催情、幫助性慾、增進活力等作用,可用於性冷感、不舉;同時它有抗痙攣的效果,減少焦慮及壓力,也常用於憂鬱症、高血壓及經前症候群。

伊蘭伊蘭精油不易萃取,市面有很多等級,萃取時間長達近一天,要仔細選擇,勿買到無效的香水級假貨。

絲柏:它是常綠的針葉林,它有助呼吸道及血液循環,對於緩和經痛、肚子抽痛都有幫助,同時能夠減少水份滯留,適合合併有腎臟代謝不佳的人使用。用於嗅聞也有助氣喘及喉嚨痛,並放鬆壓力造成的高血壓,如果有朋友及家人過逝,是人生及心情轉換很好的精油選擇,嗅聞可以強化安定情緒及血壓。

 

真正薰衣草:我自己曾經測試,曾一滴純的真正薰衣草精油滴在胸口,20分鐘後檢測血壓,舒張壓會下降10個亳米汞柱,科學研究也發現以2%的真正薰衣草精油的按摩油按摩全身,廿分鐘就可以在血中測到其主成份,2個小時大概就會代謝排出體外。它可以很快速進入體內,也可以很快速的代謝。

薰衣草是一種天然的抗憂鬱劑,尤其用於失眠效果十分顯著,失眠者可以在手心滴上2滴薰衣草精油,點在胸前、太陽穴及手腕,或滴在嗅聞貼片,貼在睡衣頸口,大約20分鐘就有睡意

一項對經常值夜班的工作人員所做的研究發現,在上班前給他們薰衣草精油薰香嗅聞30分鐘(30滴與20ml熱水混合),值完夜班後,其可體松(壓力荷爾蒙的一種)濃度會下降25%,表示焦慮的情形較低,血壓也較穩定;但未使用薰衣草精油者,從開始上工時可體松就比較高,下班後也比未使用者高23% 

真正薰衣草精油雖然是很平常的精油,但懂得跟其他精油混合使用,對於穩定血壓、減少工作焦慮及失眠很有幫助,建議可與絲柏、馬鬱蘭及苦橙等薰香或嗅聞共同,會加乘作用,你會感到壓力釋放,改善憂鬱症。

奧勒岡精油:常見的藥草香料,是所有精油中具最強效的抗病毒及抗菌能力,同時它可以減少血栓形成,並能改善關節疼痛,但因為它在皮膚的刺激性過強,一定要稀釋使用,一般用量只在0.5%

請注意上述精油雖然可以改善血壓,但不會讓人血壓過低。精油無論是透過嗅聞、皮膚按摩或口服(須在專業人員指導下),最後都會經過肝臟及腎臟代謝,有些代謝時間很快,如薰衣草約2小時,有些則較久如佛手柑約16小時,多數精油在2至3小時會全數代謝排出體外。
