Struggling with Covid Stress? Here’s what everybody’s talking about…

October 12, 2020

According to a number of newspapers the sales of lavender products have surged since the start of the pandemic. It is not news that this whole situation has caused a lot of people a lot of stress, and it appears many are turning to the soothing scent of lavender to cope with such stress.

While there’s currently a lack of large-scale clinical trials testing lavender’s effects on people with anxiety, a number of studies show that the oil may offer some anti-anxiety benefits.

Several studies have tested lavender’s anxiety-reducing effects in specific populations. For example, a study published in Physiology & Behavior in 2005 focused on 200 people awaiting dental treatment and found that breathing in the scent of lavender both lessened anxiety and improved mood.2

In addition, a pilot study published in Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice in 2012 indicates that lavender-essential-oil-based aromatherapy may help soothe anxiety in high-risk postpartum women. In an experiment involving 28 women who had given birth in the previous 18 months, researchers found that four weeks of twice-weekly, 15-minute-long aromatherapy sessions helped alleviate depression in addition to lowering anxiety levels.3

There’s also some evidence that ingesting lavender oil may help relieve anxiety. In a report published in Phytomedicine in 2012, for instance, scientists analyzed 15 previously published clinical trials and concluded that dietary supplements containing lavender oil may have some therapeutic effects on patients struggling with anxiety and/or stress.4A more recent review of the literature found 5 studies (2010, 2010, 2014, 2015 and 2016) showed benefits ins participants with moderate to severe anxiety.Lavender essential oil is one of the most popular and versatile essential oils used in aromatherapy. Distilled from the plant Lavandula angustifolia, the oil promotes relaxation and believed to treat anxiety, fungal infections, allergies, depression, insomnia, eczema, nausea, and menstrual cramps.

However you choose to add a touch of lavender to your life it is sure to add a touch of calm!

Vitamin D – SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)

October 8, 2020

A study as published in the ‘Journal Depression Research and Treatment’, supports the use of Vitamin D supplementation to treat seasonal affective disorder or SAD. SAD is a recurrent major depressive disorder with a seasonal pattern usually beginning in Autumn and continuing into winter months. As sunlight decreases during the short dark days of winter, many individuals struggle with seasonal affective disorder or SAD. This paper presents an overview of SAD by explaining the disorder and commenting on treatment approaches including light therapy and Vitamin D supplementation. Many people with SAD have insufficient or deficient levels of Vitamin D. Research suggests taking Vitamin D before winter darkness sets in to help prevent symptoms of depression.

Most individuals in Ireland have insufficient levels of vitamin D, due to the fact that we don’t receive quite so much sunlight!

Previous research has demonstrated that vitamin D helps regulate the conversion of tryptophan to serotonin aka the happiness hormone! Serotonin is the neurotransmitter that affects a variety of cognitive functions including mood, decision-making, social behavior, impulsive behavior, and social decision-making.

Beeactiv Raw Ivy Honey for chesty coughs

March 10, 2015

You may already know the antibacterial benefits of honey, but have you heard how raw Ivy honey is particularly beneficial for chesty, persistent coughs?

Ivy is known in herbal medicine to have both a mucolytic (breaks up mucous) and bronchodilating (opens the bronchial airways) effect on the lungs. Ivy honey is made when bees collect nectar from the flowering Ivy plant and bring it back to the hive. The resulting honey product is imbued with those cough clearing properties that Ivy naturally contains.

The honey, itself, crystalises quite quickly after harvesting, which is completely natural. After the honey is set, it is pressed in to a smooth texture which is ready to spread on toast or mix in to food.

Beeactiv’s Ivy Honey is sourced 100% in Ireland and 100% natural. It retails at €13.95.

For this, and a range of other Irish produced honeys, please visit our store.
