Swiss Herbal Remedies Eicosanoil (Hemp Seed Oil) 500 ml The organic, cold pressed essential fatty acid supplement with the perfect ratio of Omega 6, 3 and 9 for human metabolism. Liquid engineering for the human body.
What's in EICOSANOIL that makes it so good?
Everyone knows that eating the polyunsaturated fats found in vegetable oil is better for your health than eating the saturated fats found in meat and dairy products.
The polyunsaturated fats and oils are healthy because they contain the essential fatty acids.
The body is made up of billions of cells. The membrane of each of these cells contains essential fatty acids. Cells with a high daily turnover such as those of the skin and immune system require a continuous supply of essential fatty acids to function properly.
Essential fatty acids are found in particularly high concentrations in the cells of the brain and nervous system and developing babies and children need huge amounts of essential fatty acids daily.
Within the body essential fatty acids are converted into chemicals called eicosanoids. Eicosanoids have many important functions throughout the body:
They lower cholesterol and keep the blood vessels healthy.
They balance the menstrual cycle.
They produce anti-inflammatory chemicals which help fight against such things as arthritis, psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease.
They produce anti-allergy chemicals that fight against conditions such as eczema, asthma, hayfever and urticaria.
They reduce the tendency for the onset of autoimmune diseases such as SLE.
They fight the complications of diabetes.
They keep cells intact and reduce their tendency to turn cancerous.
There are 3 groups of important essential fatty acids
1. Omega-3 fatty acids - including alpha-linolenic acid
2. Omega-6 fatty acids - including linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid
3. Omega-9 fatty acids - including oleic acid
Nutritional experts tell us that the average western diet is seriously deficient in Omega-3 fatty acids. This may partly account for increasing levels of eczema and asthma and why heart and circulatory disorders are major killers.
Most oils are unbalanced; they have too much of one essential fatty acid and not enough of another. The body needs balanced sources of all nutrients. Indeed, the most commonly used oils are deficient in Omega-3 fatty acids.
* Evening primrose oil is over 70% Omega-6 fatty acids, no Omega-3 fatty acids.
* Borage oil (starflower) is over 60% Omega-6 fatty acids, less than 1% Omega-3 fatty acids.
* Linseed oil (flax) is up to 60% Omega-3 fatty acids with under 20% Omega-6 fatty acids.
* Fish oils are all Omega-3 fatty acids, no Omega-6 fatty acids.
* Olive oil is over 70% oleic acid and very little else.
Hemp seed oil contains 60% Omega-6 fatty acids and 20% Omega-3 fatty acids. This 3:1 ratio is thought to be the perfect balance for human metabolism. Hempseed oil also contains 12% of the Omega-9 fatty acid, oleic acid and 3% GLA. It contains in total over 90% unsaturated fatty acids, one of the highest in nature.
Hemp is the most complete and balanced source of essential fatty acids in nature.
Using hemp seed oil daily has been shown to help these health problems:
The heart and circulation
Essential fatty acids help lower blood pressure, relax blood vessel walls, reduce blood clotting/thin the blood, lower cholesterol, decrease LDL & raise HDL levels, lower triglycerides and reduce platelet stickiness. This makes EICOSANOIL beneficial for sufferers of:
Angina, high blood pressure, intermittent claudication, hardening of the arteries, varicose veins & thrombosis, Raynaud’s disease, heart rhythm abnormalities and for people who have had heart surgery.
Allergy
The prostaglandins your body produces from the essential fatty acids directly suppress the allergic reaction. This makes EICOSANOIL beneficial for sufferers of:
Eczema & dermatitis, asthma, hayfever & urticaria (hives).
Anti-inflammatory effect
The eicosanoids the body produces from the essential fatty acids have a powerful anti-inflammatory effect, directly blocking the chemicals that promote inflammation in the body. This makes EICOSANOIL beneficial for sufferers of:
Rheumatoid & osteo-arthritis, psoriasis, ankylosing spondylitis, ulcerative colitis & Crohn’s disease.
Womens health
Essential fatty acids help balance the menstrual cycle and doctors as well as herbalists now prescribe essential fatty acid supplements for women. Which means EICOSANOIL can benefit sufferers of:
PMS, Breast tenderness, Period pains and exhaustion after childbirth.
The immune system
A steady intake of essential fatty acids is required to make new cells for the immune system as they constantly sacrifice themselves to keep you free of infection. This means that EICOSANOIL can benefit sufferers of:
Immune deficiency & recurrent infections of any type.
Pregnancy and childbirth
Mothers need vast quantities of essential fatty acids for their developing babies. The baby needs these for every cell in its rapidly growing body but particularly for the development of the brain and nervous system. Lack of essential fatty acids during pregnancy may lead to a child having behavioural and intellectual difficulties.
Weight loss and dieting
When dieting to reduce body fat its essential to have a daily supply of essential fatty acids as found in EICOSANOIL. Feeding your body with essential fats means it is happy to burn its stored fat.
