“Ho’ola” meaning to give life, heal, to cure, carries properties known to fragrantly purify and stimulate the conscious mind, it also influences well-being, promotes health and healing.  Researchers from the University of Kiel, found that Peppermint, an herb infused in our Ho’ola Blend, “lessened headache pain in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study.”  Peppermint was also found to soothe digestion, pain relief, is antiparisitic (worms), antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antitumoral and helps with fungal infections.  Its uses can be helpful with rheumatism/arthritis, respiratory infections, viral infections, nausea, and digestive problems.  Another essential oil found in Ho’ola is Eucalyptus Globulus, which often benefits the respiratory system as was shown through laboratory results, “to be a powerful antimicrobial agent”.  A powerful insect repellent, Eucalyptus trees, in North Africa, were planted to block off the spread of malaria.  Per Jean Valnet, MD, a solution of 2 percent eucalyptus oil sprayed on the skin will kill 70 percent of ambient staph bacteria.  As an expectorant, Eucalyptus is used for respiratory/sinus infections and as a decongestant.  Eucalyptus has also been found to be antimicrobial, anti bacterial, antifungal, antiviral and anti-aging.  Indications of Eucalyptus Globulus are asthma, candida, coughs, diabetes, herpes, hypoglycemia, lungs, measles, headaches, respiratory infections, sinusitis, shingles and tuberculosis.  Rosemary, the final oil infused in Ho’ola (as mentioned above in “Malama,”) was one of the herbs used by thieves to rob from the dead during the plague.  Later cultures believed Rosemary would ward off devils.  This theory was eventually adopted by the sick to protect against infection.  Hospitals, in France use Rosemary today to disinfect the air due to its fragrant influences of improving mental clarity, focus and helped overcome mental fatigue.  Our blend would be best used on the: abdomen, temples, chakras and/or vita flex points.
