Healing Oils

During 2005 I was laid low by a gruelling set of symptoms caused by contracture of muscles and skin that decreased the blood flow to my extremities and to my head. The distressing set of symptoms included cold hands and feet, numbness, pain, loss of flexibility, incomplete healing of RSI in my neck, shoulders and back, decreased blood to the brain leading to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Most distressing was the resultant personality and mood changes, an inability to concentrate (brain fog), poor eyesight and dizziness. My body was riddled with small lumps of hardened tissue, like fibroids or granulomas. Having tried numerous therapies and food supplements, one of the most effective healing aids (along with serrapeptase) has been Udo's Choice.

I came to Udo's Choice quite late in my healing process. I had already been taking organic hemp oil and eating lots of pumpkin seeds, so considered that my intake of oils, omegas and vitamin E was satisfactory. However, when I tried this blend, I noticed an immediate difference. Tissues that had been hardened began to soften, and flexibility was improved.

UDO Essential fatty Acids Oil - Gluten Free

Omega 3, 6 & 9 - Suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans

Udo's Choice Ultimate Oil Blend is a special blend of carefully chosen, natural, unrefined oils. It contains oils from fresh, certified organic flax, sesame and sunflower seeds, as well as oils from wheat germ, rice germ and oat germ.

This oil blend is rich in lecithin, which provides the building materials for healthy cell membranes. It also contains medium chain triglycerides -- easy to digest and assimilate, they are used directly by our cells as a source of energy without increasing fat deposition. Vitamin E is added to improve shelf-life and to act as a free radical scavenger in the body.

Udo's Choice Ultimate Oil Blend is pressed at a temperature of less than 50 degrees Celsius and, more importantly, in the absence of light and oxygen. The use of nitrogen-flushed, amber glass bottles further protects the oil from light and oxygen and helps to insure maximum stability.

MCTs can improve liver function and fat absorption. Unlike fats and oils, they are not transported through the lymphatic system during digestion, but go directly to the liver where they are burned to provide energy. Burned like carbohydrates, MCTs are a good source of energy for athletes. They have been shown to lower cholesterol levels and help people with irritable bowel problems

Like all fresh-pressed oils, Udo's Choice is sensitive to light, air and heat. It should not be used for frying, deep-frying or sautéing, but can otherwise replace most oils in food preparation and can be used in all the same ways as flax oil.

Udo's Choice is excellent for making delicious healthy salad dressings and can be mixed with yogurt or tofu. Try serving it on steamed vegetables or baked potatoes, adding it to homemade veggie soup (after cooking), or mixing it with extra virgin olive oil in dishes such as homus and tabouleh. It adds zing to brown rice and can make both hot and cold cereals more nutritious.

Athletes may benefit by adding Udo's Choice to their favorite protein shake. It can also be added to fresh vegetable juices.

Udo's Choice actually brings out and improves the natural flavors of the foods to which it is added. You can consume it on its own, by the spoonful.
