1. Ginger (Zingiber officinale)

• Benefits for Colon Health: Ginger essential oil is widely used for its ability to soothe the digestive tract, reduce bloating, and stimulate peristalsis (intestinal movement), which can promote regular bowel movements.

• Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens)

  • Benefits for Colon Health: Cypress oil is known for its ability to improve circulation and promote the flow of lymphatic fluid, which can help with toxin elimination. It may also have a mild astringent effect, which can help tone and tighten the digestive tract.

  • Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)

    • Benefits for Colon Health: Lavender oil has anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe the digestive tract. It also promotes relaxation, which can help reduce stress-induced digestive issues like bloating and constipation.

  • Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus)

    • Benefits for Colon Health: Lemongrass oil is a detoxifying oil that supports healthy digestion and can help cleanse the colon by promoting bowel movement and alleviating discomfort from indigestion or bloating.

  • Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis)

    • Benefits for Colon Health: Sweet orange oil has a calming effect on the digestive system and helps to reduce inflammation and bloating. It’s also uplifting and can help support overall emotional well-being during a cleanse.

  • Neroli (Citrus aurantium)

    • Benefits for Colon Health: Frankincense essential oil is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and can help soothe the digestive system, reduce bloating, and promote a healthy gut environment.

  • Peppermint (Mentha piperita)
