“In 2004, gastrointestinal diseases accounted for approximately 2.5 million hospitalizations, representing 7 percent of all hospital stays in the United States. Hospital costs for these conditions totaled $20.1 billion.

Hospital stays for GI diseases were slightly longer, a little more costly, and more likely to originate in the emergency department than the average hospital stay.

Gastrointestinal hemorrhage was the most common GI disease seen in U.S. hospitals, accounting for 14 percent of all GI-related hospital stays.

Compared to all GI diseases, hospital stays for GI cancers were longer and more costly. Cancers of the esophagus and stomach resulted in the highest rates of in-hospital deaths.

Medicare was billed for more than half of all hospital stays for gastrointestinal hemorrhage, diverticulosis and diverticulitis (bulging and inflammation of the walls of the colon), and intestinal obstruction. Private insurance was billed for more than 60 percent of hospital stays for appendicitis, a condition that occurs more often in younger populations.

Between 1994 and 2004, hospital admissions increased significantly for six GI conditions (regional enteritis and ulcerative colitis, diverticulosis, appendicitis, disorders of the esophagus, digestive congenital anomalies, and intestinal infections), while hospital stays for gastroduodenal ulcer decreased.”¹

DigestZen is well known for its ability to aid in digestion, soothe occasional stomach upset, and maintain overall digestive health when taken internally. This amazing blend contains Ginger, Fennel, Coriander, Peppermint, Tarragon, Anise, and Caraway.

DigestZen is designed to help ease occasional stomach discomfort, including motion sickness and indigestion, aid with digestion and help maintain a healthy gastrointestinal tract.* DigestZen is great to have on hand when stomach upset occurs and is safe and effective.

MIND

DigestZen is The oil of understanding and assimilation. According to the Emotions & Essential Oils book, the negative emotions DigestZen oil helps to release are as follows: Overstimulated, loss of appetite for food or life, difficulty assimilating new information or experiences, overwhelmed, apathetic, unenthusiastic

The positive properties we can incorporate are the following: Assimilating experiences, adjusting, nourished, enthusiastic

We have more neurotransmitters (brain chemicals) in our gut than in our brain. When our gut is not happy our mind can be foggy and muddled. When we are in our minds a lot, we rob energy from the rest of the body so digestive activity slows down. Ideally we need to have 3-4 bowel movements a day. Our feces need to be soft and smooth.

Overstimulated: Smell Digestzen and take internally to help you relax your digestive muscles and allow the neurotransmitters to flow with ease. Allow your mind to be still so you can hear yourself and be guided by a higher power.

I easily digest all the information that comes my way. I am calm and still.

Emotions of Constipation: Constipation is about holding onto old, outdated, unhelpful, limiting beliefs. In other words you stubbornly hold onto stinkin’ thinkin’. Rub Digestzen on your tummy and smell essential oils you crave such as Wild Orange, Forgive, Balance or Sandalwood. Relax the mind and let old things go.

I can thoroughly digest quickly what I need today for my life. I am releasing all that is unhealthy for me. I release the need to understand everything. I choose to trust in the process.

SPIRIT

Faith is about moving forward in life without full knowledge. Our body will give us the clues to adapt and adjust as we go through life so we can realign with our divine source. When we realign with our source, we will be guided in the best way possible beyond our current understanding.

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6

When digestive issues arises, we should take that as a hint to make some changes. Usually we are holding onto a fear emotion of some sort such as anxiety, stress, worry and tension. Fear is not FAITH. As soon as I am self-aware enough to recognize this imbalance, I tell myself to let things go and focus on having more faith. We all are powerful creators. We create what we focus on. If we allow ourselves to slip onto that slop of fear, we will create more darkness and drama in our lives. The clues we receive from our body such as the digestive upsets, reminds us to change our focus to faith-filled positive focus. When we do so well, our body starts to repair and balance again. Our physical world improves. Faith literally moves mountains and all things come together for your good.

The lower chakras where our digestive issues lie is all about fear, insecurities, lack of action and power. Using Digestzen will help you balance those chakras.

Many health problems stem from the gut problems. Overgrowth of Candida for example can cause minor to major issues from allergies, autoimmune problems, to ulcers and cancers. In order to address these issues permanently we need to look at the root issues which is a spiritual disconnection. We know we are spiritually disconnected when we manifest various digestive concerns physically. It indicates we are holding onto fear. We have chosen fear consciously or unconsciously. Sometimes we may feel we are holding onto faith. We may feel faithful and spiritual but we can be more faithful when we let go of holding onto fear with the other hand. Sometimes we are holding onto both faith and fear at the same time with conflicts us on the inside. Work on letting go of the one less supportive of you so you can stop the internal conflicts and self sabotage. Remember, power comes from FAITH!
