Improve
Memory - Concentration - Accuracy

EUVENTOL - The Smell of Success

 

Exams are all around us at the moment
and everyone needs a little edge
Euventol from Marble Hill could be the answer!

A blend of research based oils

Peppermint for motivation, focus and performance.

Rosemary for memory

Eucalyptus for clearing the airways and clearing your head


Aromatherapy and science come together with proven essential oils

for concentration, memory and focus.

 

How can essential oils help you achieve your goals?

 

We have all said how refreshing a minty smell is , or how a eucalyptus lozenge helps clear our head and improve our breathing but most of us are not aware of the actual proven benefits of inhaling essential oils.
There is a wealth of research underpinning the use of natural oils in everyday life . 
In these islands we often think of aromatherapy as something on the fringes but Japan has been using different oils for years to improve performance, most notably in the banking sector where diffusers introduce them to the air conditioning system to maintain alertness in the staff and improve the experience for their customers.


 

 

What can these oils do?

Peppermint oil -the surprising all rounder :


Dr Bryan Raudenbush of the Wheeling Hesuit University has studied the effects of inhaling peppermint oil extensively and his findings reveal that it has a positive impact on athlete’s performance in terms of speed , endurance and strength as well as helping to ease pain.
His other studies demonstrate improved typing accuracy, spelling and speed and an ability to focus on the task in hand.

Unsurprisingly these effects have the gratifying ability to improve confidence in the ability to compete and to achieve goals. 

In other words they encourage those using peppermint oil to feel happier about their ability to succeed.




Can Rosemary oil actually help with memory?

 Traditionally the use Rosemary oil “ for remembrance “ has not been not taken seriously but that changed when studies showing that inhaling Rosemary oil improved exam results in students, memory in the over 65’s and had a positive impact on stress and anxiety in both groups.

“ I always suck Eucalyptus  sweets when I have a blocked up nose “

Eucalyptus oil is powerful decongestant which can help clear your head and help you focus on your studies and success. The combination of peppermint oil and eucalyptus is a classic and our airways benefit from the ability of eucalyptus oil to clear our nasal passages and improve our oxygen uptake when we want to have a clear head for study, sports or everyday activities.
Inhaled eucalyptus oil has also been shown to provide pain relief and is being researched as part of a Covid19 treatment protocol because of its anti inflammatory properties.



Why choose Euventol ?

If you feel that a clear head helps with reducing stress, feeling refreshed and feeling alert then Euventol is a natural chemical free way to help breathe deep and focus on achieving your goals. 



A wealth of studies point to improved typing, information retention and confidence when Peppermint oil is inhaled and the folk belief in the ability of Rosemary oil to improve short term memory has been confirmed repeatedly by scientific research . Eucalyptus oil clears the respiratory passages and helps with stress.


Euventol has been developed to provide the benefits of all three of these highly effective natural resources. 



 

 

How should I use Euventol? 

Our feedback shows that Euventol is popular when people want to work effectively, feel refreshed and optimistic about their performance. 

 

For students, you can use Euventol regularly to provide structure to a well planned study timetable and as part of your study regime

The pleasant aroma is acceptable to all age groups and may also be used to provide a way of enhancing exercise and as a familiar relaxing memory support which can be used daily to help reduce stress and anxiety in the elderly .

Granny didn’t use moisturisers

What did Granny put on her skin?

Does this ring any bells?


Granny managed with a bar of soap and maybe some Pond's Cold Cream for her face. Body moisturiser ? It didn't exist.

Many people find that shower gels and other liquid skincare products are too effective at removing the oils from their skin and leave them parched.


If you suffer from dry, itchy skin you really need to ask yourself whether your wash products suit your skin.


Do you know what is lurking in your moisturiser?


 Look out for the words sodium laureth sulphate, sodium lauryl sulphate and cocamidopropyl betaine 
on the labels of your skincare.






The two former are detergents used in washing up liquids and the last was named "Allergen of the Year 2004" by the American Contact Dermatitis Society. None of them are toxins but since their widespread use rates of moisturiser use have rocketed : do the maths!



Look for yourself- I promise you will be surprised and don't let the hype put you off: some of the ranges which contain them are ones you would least expect!


Neem Oil Soap from Marble Hill is made exclusively with shea butter and pure plant oils and was recommended by the Sunday Times as "fabulously moisturising".  It is so rich that when you use Neem Oil Soap you are actually applying shea butter to your skin directly as you wash.


Our motto : Prevention is better than cure. 


Many eczema sufferers use Neem Oil Soap to prevent their skin becoming dry and precipitating a flare-up.  To see what it achieved for a nurse whose job was on the line you really need to read this:

Five FAQ’s and Top Tips on Dandruff



How can I get rid of dandruff?

Getting rid of dandruff flakes can be achieved in a number of ways:

1.    Using the Health Scrub Bar can help get rid of dandruff flakes from the hair as it contains exfoliating seaweed and refreshing tea tree oil. Regular shampooing with the Health Scrub Bar has been helpful for many dandruff sufferers.


2.    Brushing your hair. An oily scalp is related to dandruff and brushing the oil down the hair shafts can help.


How can I stop dandruff?

1.    Keep your scalp warm. Cold weather can make dandruff worse so keeping your head warm may help prevent a breakout of flaking.

2.    The Health Scrub Bar contains anti fungal Tea tree oil so regular use  may be helpful in reducing the flaking if your dandruff is related to Melassezia

     3. Try to avoid unnecessary stress. Stress is linked to dandruff so reducing stress in daily life may help your scalp.

How can I treat dandruff?

1.    There are many types of anti dandruff shampoo available but people often find that their scalp seems to get used to them and they need to swap around between them.

2. Sometimes dandruff can be so severe that sufferers need to see their doctor for advice and to be sure they are not missing a disease that causes flaking of the scalp, such as seborrhoeic dermatitis which is form of eczema or psoriasis.

   3. The Health Scrub Bar is very handy if you are prone to dandruff as      you can shampoo, shower and shave with the one product, it will wash away excess oils and the exfoliating seaweed will help remove flakes of dandruff, saving time and energy.

How can dandruff be cured?

Dandruff can run in families and there is no complete answer to curing it. It can be related to hormones and your age group.

The best option in this case is to find the method that suits you best for controlling it. Regular hair brushing, avoiding cold weather affecting your scalp and reducing stress can all help, as can regular use of a good shampoo.

There are many shampoos on the market and it depends which one suits your particular scalp the best, bearing in mind that it sometimes becomes necessary to change and give the scalp a rest from one type and choose another for a while.

If your dandruff is caused by seborrhoeic dermatitis you may need to see your doctor who can prescribe medication to deal with it.


Is there a Natural Shampoo for dandruff?

The Health Scrub Bar is very popular with anyone who enjoys having the convenience of one single product to wash, shave and shampoo.

Seborrhoeic Dermatitis

Because of this the Health Scrub Bar has been found to be very popular with sufferers from seborrhoeic dermatitis as it is 100% natural and has all the benefits of mineral rich exfoliating seaweed and refreshing essential lavender and tea tree oils, pure jojoba oil and vitamin E. Because it does not contain detergents it can be used all over the body at the same time as shampooing. Flakes are washed away and skin and hair are left conditioned and moisturised.
