Thyme Machine (Hoshino Tetsuro - Galaxy Express 999)

Galaxy Express 999 is my favorite anime series of all time, not to mention one of the largest inspirations for my writing style. It’s so hard to believe that it will be celebrating its 40th anniversary next year!

With that in mind, I’m planning to complete a Maetel cosplay and go to a few conventions in 2018. I also recently bought a rare Tetsuro figurine on eBay and am looking for the Maetel to go along with him.

The good news is that despite this being an older anime, it is a classic. You can presently find the series on Crunchyroll, and the three tie-in movies are an affordable price on Amazon.

If you love science fiction or stories about the moral ramifications of transhumanism, this may be the show for you. Every few years or so, I do a full rewatch because a part of my soul craves it.

And Hoshino Tetsuro (the main character) is one of my favorite fictional characters, regardless of fandom.

He starts out as a rather generic shonen series protagonist: after having gone through something truly traumatic (the murder of his mother), Tetsuro joins a mysterious woman (Maetel) on board the Galaxy Express 999 with the end goal of getting a mechanical body. He spends most of the series believing that this is what he wants...but then something truly magical happens.

He changes his mind. After going through the entire journey, he has a moment of realization that what he thought he wanted isn’t what he truly wants...but it may end up being forced on him anyway. I won’t spoil the ending. It makes me cry every time.

He’s a very lovable kid. A little too trusting, a little too naive, and sometimes a little dense and stubborn, but he’s a very good soul and you want to root for him: whatever he decides to do.

I wanted his bath bomb to smell like the start of Autumn: the transformation of the seasons as dramatic as a young boy’s transformation into an adolescent.

The water turns the color of rust.

Red Thyme Essential Oil

Red Thyme has an unforgettable, warm, herbal smell reminiscent of a dry rub or your first real scents of autumn air.

There are two types of “fall” scents for me. One of them is Pumpkin Spice (which, by the way, Brambleberry carries a fragrance oil for). The other one has no real name, but conjures up thoughts of walking through a forest full of dead, dry leaves on the first cold evening of the season. Red Thyme is exactly that.

Pros:

The medical benefits of Thyme have been known to the Mediterranean part of the world for thousands of years. It is also a commonly prescribed herb in Ayurvedic Medicine.

Alleviate several illnesses! Red Thyme can be used to relieve and reduce the impact of chronic ailments such as gout, chronic fatigue syndrome, menstrual and menopausal problems, and athlete’s foot. It’s also a lovely hangover cure.

It has antidepressant properties! Red Thyme has an anti-anxiety component to its chemical makeup. When diffused or applied with a carrier oil, it can reduce the impact of depression, strengthen cognition, and calm jittery nerves.

It’s an asthma-safe oil and works wonders on respiratory problems! Got a nasty autumn cough you can’t shake? What about the early signs of a sore throat? Red Thyme may be able to help you. It certainly does for me!

Improve your skin! Red Thyme can reduce the amount of sebum your pores extract, meaning it can reduce your chances for acne or sebaceous cysts. It can clear up oily skin, as well as speed up the healing process for scars. As for aged skin, Red Thyme is a wonderful toner.

Reduce hair loss! Red Thyme, when added to shampoos and other hair products, can reduce or even prevent hair loss for some people.

It can be used to improve your oral health! Like Peppermint, Spearmint, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Lemon, and Wintergreen, Red Thyme Essential Oil can be added to a mouthwash or oral rinse to fix bad breath and improve the health of your gums.

Bugs HATE Red Thyme, so keep the creepy-crawlies at bay! Mosquitoes, lice, moths, ticks, and fleas in particular hate Red Thyme. That said, I really wish roaches were on that list. Your best oil for that is still Peppermint.

Cons

: The good news is that there are very few side effects to Red Thyme Essential Oil. It is generally safe for most people to use, but it’s never a bad idea to first consult your physician before adding essential oils to your daily health routine.

This is not a cat-friendly oil. In fact, Red Thyme is listed in several places as one of the worst things you can diffuse around your cat. As much as I love this essential oil, I always lock Gaius out of the room if I choose to diffuse this one.

Some people are allergic to thyme. It’s actually not that uncommon. If you are allergic to other plants in the Lamiaceae family (Basil, Sage, Rosemary, Lavender, etc.), you may have a sensitivity to Red Thyme Essential Oil. Allergies may surface as gastrointestinal issues (fussy stomach, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting) if ingested.

If you have sensitive skin, do not apply Red Thyme neat to your skin. While Red Thyme is generally safe, some people have experienced inflammation, hives, rashes, itchiness, and redness when the oil is applied to the skin without being properly diluted with a carrier oil. The good news is that Thyme Machine contains fractionated coconut oil as a carrier. If that doesn’t dilute the Thyme enough, the bath water will.

Red Thyme is an emmenagogue and should NOT be used by pregnant women. I use Red Thyme for a number of reasons. One of them is to regulate my period, as it’s started to come a bit more slowly since I started dieting in April (every 5 weeks instead of every 4). Red Thyme has emmenagogue properties, which means that it stimulates menstruation. Menstruation is something you do not want when you’re pregnant, as it could potentially be dangerous for the fetus or trigger premature labor or a miscarriage.

Exercise caution if you have hypertension. Red Thyme can be used to increase circulation, meaning your blood pressure may rise while using this oil. If you are already dealing with hypertension or experience palpitations on the regular, Red Thyme Essential Oil might not play nicely with you.

Exercise caution if you have hyperthyroidism. Red Thyme may stimulate the thyroid gland for some people.

Immortelle Essential Oil

Immortelle (also called Helichrysum or Helichrysum Italicum) is one of the most popular essential oils one can buy, mostly for all its wonderful therapeutic benefits. The plant comes from a member of the Sunflower family.

Immortelle has a “dead leaf” scent to it, but also reminds me of the wild goldenrod that used to grow on the side of the Georgia highway in the fall. It’s a flower oil, but doesn’t smell floral at all. It’s more herbal, and even a tad earthy.

Pros:

Immortelle is a good friend when you’re in pain! I originally bought this essential oil because it was Prime day, a company had a good sale on it, and I saw that it is mostly toted as a pain relief oil--which I need, suffering from a chronic pain issue. Immortelle eases nerve, joint, and muscular pain. In fact, it’s one of the best essential oils you can purchase if you have fibromyalgia: like me!

Keep your skin clean and healthy with Immortelle! A study was conducted by the Health Sciences Research Centre in Portugal’s University of Beira. In this study, it was determined that Immortelle Essential Oil was effective against bacterial and fungal growths responsible for various skin problems including irritation, rashes, infections, and wounds that took a long time to properly heal.

Stop itching from poison ivy! Mix Immortelle and Lavender Essential Oils together with a jojoba carrier oil to stop the itching and soothe the inflamed tissue.

Fight acne! Immortelle targets and combats a lot of the fungi and bacteria responsible for acne outbreaks. Unlike alcohol-based astringents, Immortelle doesn’t dry out the skin and soothes anything that’s red and irritated.

Reduce inflammation! Immortelle can stimulate blood flow, improve smooth muscle function, and reduce inflammation. This also has the benefit of lowering high blood pressure.

Immortelle is both a digestive and diuretic aid! Immortelle encourages bile flow within your body, which speeds up the digestion of food. It also has diuretic properties, which encourage your kidneys to expel urine faster. This makes it a wonderful assistant in helping you get rid of that unwanted water weight when you’re feeling bloated.

Soothe sunburned skin! Immortelle can soothe and rehydrate burnt skin. The oil can also reduce the amount of damage a person experiences to UV light (which is a pleasant change from Citrus oils, which increase your sensitivity).

Cons:

Immortelle is NOT a cat-safe oil. Do not diffuse if your cat’s in the room with you and can’t get out.

Not enough is known about Immortelle Essential Oil and pregnancy for this oil to be a safe choice for people who are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or nursing.

People with gallstone issues may experience severe stomach cramps from prolonged use to Immortelle Essential Oil.

Do not use this essential oil if you have had past issues with blocked bile ducts. Immortelle may stimulate your body to produce more bile, which will lead to its own set of complications.

Immortelle is best avoided if you are allergic to ragweed, daisies, chrysanthemums, marigolds, or sunflowers.

Benefits Of Cannabidiol (CBD) Oil That Will Blow Your Mind!

Every cloud has a silver lining. And everything ‘bad’ has a ‘good’ side to it. So does cannabis! Along with a 100 harmful cannabinoids, the Cannabis sativa plant contains a less psychoactive compound called cannabidiol or CBD.

Researchers have found therapeutic properties associated with CBD extracts in recent years. One such beneficial preparation is CBD oil.

Read on to know about the science, benefits, and side effects of this oil.

Table Of Contents

What Is CBD?

Cannabidiol or CBD is a phytocannabinoid that is produced in the Cannabis sativa plant. It is gaining much attention among researchers due to its therapeutic effects because it does NOT have psychoactive properties.

Why Is CBD Not A Psychoactive Compound?

There are two types of receptors on the brain and immune system cells – CB1 and CB2. Psychoactive compounds like tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) bind to these receptors and cause the typical euphoric effects.

But our hero ingredient, CBD, has a much lower affinity to CB1 and CB2 receptors than THC. So, even if CBD manages to bind to these receptors, there is little or no euphoric effect.

And that is why extracts like CBD oil are getting popular among the medical community to treat neurological disorders.

Let’s get to know the CBD oil up close!

What Is CBD Oil?

CBD oil is prepared by extracting various cannabinoids from the Cannabis or hemp plant into a solvent, like alcohol.

Upon evaporation of this enriched alcohol, what is left behind is a mixture of cannabinoids – one among them is CBD.

It is processed further to obtain a pure concentrate of CBD oil. This oil is then diluted in carrier oils and made fit for human consumption.

Out of many different Cannabis preparations, CBD oil seems to be the best for medical administration since it has neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic, and antioxidant effects on your body.

Remember, it does not give you a ‘high.’

Did You Know?

Consuming CBD can get you off marijuana addiction.

The effect of CBD remains in your body for about 3-5 hours.

Now that you know how it is prepared, you’d want to know what precisely CBD oil does to your body. Ain’t I right?

Scroll down to look at a few chosen therapeutic properties of CBD oil in detail.

What Are The Benefits Of CBD Oil?

1. Treats Epilepsy And Seizures

When administered in small and regulated doses (12-25 mg), CBD oil exhibits an anticonvulsant effect on your brain. This means that it reduces the intensity of seizures and improves seizure control. In some adolescents, it has been found to regularize sleep patterns and behavioral changes.

CBD also has fewer adverse effects when compared to THC. You cannot develop a tolerance for CBD on its repeated administration, and there are hardly any withdrawal symptoms (1).

2. Has Anxiolytic And Antidepressant Effects

Children and adolescents with anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who used CBD oil showed remarkable results.

This oil can reduce anxiety, depression, treat insomnia, and manage panic attacks caused by stress in children (2).

Research in this field is yet to establish CBD’s mode of action on the brain, but there is enough promising data to prove the impact of this oil on such patients.

3. Can Reduce Chronic Pain

Chronic pain, especially neuropathic pain, caused due to various reasons can be the worst nightmare of your life.

People suffering from chronic back, neck, or shoulder blade pain, menstrual cramps, and migraines sometimes fail to respond to routine opioid painkillers. In such cases, CBD oil with traces of THC comes as a blessing in disguise.

Historically, CBD has been used to provide relief to people suffering from migraines, tension-type headaches, and chronic daily headaches (3).

These cannabinoids are potent analgesics and can reduce pain even when applied topically to wounds (4). They are so targeted that CBD extracts are now being considered to treat chemotherapy-associated chronic pain since they have very few side effects (5).

4. Has Anti-Inflammatory Effects

Most of the diseases today cause inflammation at some stage. Diabetes, arthritis, liver cirrhosis, renal failure, stomach ulcers, irritable bowel disease (IBD), colitis, hypersensitivity allergies, skin diseases (like psoriasis), and many autoimmune disorders arise due to inflammation.

Administration of CBD in various forms has been found to decrease inflammation and injury and reduce their severity in animals (6). Though it is still in the clinical trials stage, CBD oil with THC is a potential alternative for improving the quality of life in some of the autoimmune diseases listed above.

5. Reduces Hypertension And Protects Your Heart

CBD and its extract have multiple effects on the cardiovascular system. Since hypertension is predominant in the world’s population today, CBD has been widely studied in this perspective.

CBD lowers resting blood pressure (BP), fluctuations of BP in response to anxiety, and cold stress. It also improves your heart health and keeps ischemic attacks and chest pain (angina) at bay because of its anxiolytic and analgesic properties (7).

6. Effectively Treats Side Effects Associated With Cancer

Finding a cure for cancer is the billion-dollar problem that everyone in this world wants to solve. Don’t you think so?

Chemotherapy is one solution offered to decelerate its growth. However, it has multiple side effects like nausea, dehydration, loss of appetite, sluggishness, and weak immunity.

Although CBD oil cannot cure cancer, it can prevent chemotherapy from making your life worse. This is because CBD can activate specific receptors on the brain cells that produce antiemetic or anti-nausea like effects (8).

7. Lowers Incidence Of Diabetes

Due to its anti-inflammatory property, administration of CBD reduces the incidence of diabetes significantly.

Also, it leads to lower levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (cellular messengers) like IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha in the blood plasma. In an experiment conducted on mice, histological examination of the treated ones showed reduced inflammation of pancreatic beta-cells (9).

Though the data is insufficient and not conclusive, research indicates that CBD derivatives can inhibit and delay the onset of diabetes and associated inflammation.

8. Controls Neurodegenerative And Neurological Disorders

Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Tourette syndrome, and other neurodegenerative and motor disorders can be controlled by taking regulated doses of CBD oil.

It improves quality of life, brings about behavioral changes, and reduces anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, progressive memory loss (dementia), and post-traumatic stress in these patients.

In motor disorders patients aged 1-17 years, CBD oil reduces the intensity of spasms, improves spasticity, and controls myalgia (muscle pains) due to its analgesic, antispasmodic, and anti-inflammatory properties (10).

9. Aids Weight Management

Smoking marijuana affects the calorie intake of a person. The cannabinoids in the plant bind to the CB receptors and increase cravings. Also, a person on high doses of marijuana tends to relish food more and eats more often between meals (11).

This property might be beneficial to people who are underweight, malnourished or affected with HIV-AIDS or cancer, which cause loss of appetite. Having CBD oil or marijuana might help them put on some pounds.

On the other hand, if your body’s cannabinoid producing cascade (yes, you have one in your own body too!) is studied, you’d know that the same CB receptors are responsible for weight loss and anorexia (12).

On the whole, how exactly CBD oil helps in managing your body weight needs to be studied further.

10. Is A Skin Care Expert

Who’d have thought marijuana could fight acne!

CBD inhibits the lipogenic action of compounds like arachidonic acid, testosterone, and linoleic acid on your skin cells. It also has antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory effects on sebocytes (actively secreting epithelial cells) and hence stops acne from spreading (13).

CBD also has potent antioxidant properties and can, therefore, fight oxidative and chemical stress by scavenging free radicals in the blood (14). An interplay of all these effects results in younger looking, wrinkle-free, supple, clear, spotless, and radiant skin.

All said and done, one thing is clear – CBD oil has multiple unexplored benefits that need years of research and understanding.

But, if you still wish to use CBD oil for its incredible benefits, here are some points you might want to bear in mind:

How: Mode Of Administration

Pure CBD (hemp) oil can be consumed orally in small doses as a nutritional supplement as it has good fats (EFA), vitamins E and A, and many minerals in abundance.

CBD ethanol extract is also available in various carrier oils like coconut, hemp seed, and olive oils.

How Much: Intake Per Day

The intake of CBD is primarily dependent on the BMI (Body Mass Index) of the individual and the cause that’s being addressed.

Variable doses of CBD oil or extracts ranging from 1 mg/day to about a 1000 mg/day are considered safe.

Each one of us responds to a fixed dose of CBD differently. Do not try to self-medicate and formulate a dosage without medical supervision.

Caution

It is illegal to use or procure CBD or related products in some parts of the world. Consult your physician and/or psychologist to decide the optimal dosage. Follow legal procedures, if any, to procure the best and purest CBD oil.

And now, coming to the obvious question we all have…

What Are The Side Effects Of Using CBD Oil?

After all, CBD is still a component of marijuana. There are chances of having side effects when you take CBD oil in high doses.

Many a time, the oil itself might have traces of psychoactive components like THC. CBD oil might not give you a ‘high’ but can result in any or all of the symptoms listed below:

• Diarrhea • Drowsiness • Vomiting • Nausea • Low blood pressure • Dry mouth • Anorexia • Insomnia • Psychotic effects (only in extremely high doses and/or mixed doses with THC)

This is why medical supervision is a must.

In A Nutshell…

Though there’s a tremendous need for research to back it, cannabidiol oil is geared to gain more attention in medicine because of the promising effects it has on our body and the endocannabinoid system (ECS).

Consult your doctor for any questions regarding the suitable make, dosage, instructions, and symptoms of an overdose of CBD in your body.

Formulations containing CBD oil are relatively expensive and have deleterious effects if abused. Again, moderation is key.

Benefits Of Cannabidiol (CBD) Oil That Will Blow Your Mind!

Researchers have found therapeutic properties associated with CBD extracts in recent years. One such beneficial preparation is CBD oil.

Read on to know about the science, benefits, and side effects of this oil.

Table Of Contents

What Is CBD?

Why Is CBD Not A Psychoactive Compound?

But our hero ingredient, CBD, has a much lower affinity to CB1 and CB2 receptors than THC. So, even if CBD manages to bind to these receptors, there is little or no euphoric effect.

And that is why extracts like CBD oil are getting popular among the medical community to treat neurological disorders.

Let’s get to know the CBD oil up close!

What Is CBD Oil?

CBD oil is prepared by extracting various cannabinoids from the Cannabis or hemp plant into a solvent, like alcohol.

Upon evaporation of this enriched alcohol, what is left behind is a mixture of cannabinoids – one among them is CBD.

It is processed further to obtain a pure concentrate of CBD oil. This oil is then diluted in carrier oils and made fit for human consumption.

Out of many different Cannabis preparations, CBD oil seems to be the best for medical administration since it has neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic, and antioxidant effects on your body.

Remember, it does not give you a ‘high.’

Did You Know?

Consuming CBD can get you off marijuana addiction.

The effect of CBD remains in your body for about 3-5 hours.

Now that you know how it is prepared, you’d want to know what precisely CBD oil does to your body. Ain’t I right?

Scroll down to look at a few chosen therapeutic properties of CBD oil in detail.

What Are The Benefits Of CBD Oil?

1. Treats Epilepsy And Seizures

CBD also has fewer adverse effects when compared to THC. You cannot develop a tolerance for CBD on its repeated administration, and there are hardly any withdrawal symptoms (1).

2. Has Anxiolytic And Antidepressant Effects

Children and adolescents with anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who used CBD oil showed remarkable results.

This oil can reduce anxiety, depression, treat insomnia, and manage panic attacks caused by stress in children (2).

Research in this field is yet to establish CBD’s mode of action on the brain, but there is enough promising data to prove the impact of this oil on such patients.

3. Can Reduce Chronic Pain

Chronic pain, especially neuropathic pain, caused due to various reasons can be the worst nightmare of your life.

Historically, CBD has been used to provide relief to people suffering from migraines, tension-type headaches, and chronic daily headaches (3).

4. Has Anti-Inflammatory Effects

5. Reduces Hypertension And Protects Your Heart

CBD and its extract have multiple effects on the cardiovascular system. Since hypertension is predominant in the world’s population today, CBD has been widely studied in this perspective.

6. Effectively Treats Side Effects Associated With Cancer

Finding a cure for cancer is the billion-dollar problem that everyone in this world wants to solve. Don’t you think so?

Chemotherapy is one solution offered to decelerate its growth. However, it has multiple side effects like nausea, dehydration, loss of appetite, sluggishness, and weak immunity.

7. Lowers Incidence Of Diabetes

Due to its anti-inflammatory property, administration of CBD reduces the incidence of diabetes significantly.

Though the data is insufficient and not conclusive, research indicates that CBD derivatives can inhibit and delay the onset of diabetes and associated inflammation.

8. Controls Neurodegenerative And Neurological Disorders

Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Tourette syndrome, and other neurodegenerative and motor disorders can be controlled by taking regulated doses of CBD oil.

It improves quality of life, brings about behavioral changes, and reduces anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, progressive memory loss (dementia), and post-traumatic stress in these patients.

9. Aids Weight Management

On the whole, how exactly CBD oil helps in managing your body weight needs to be studied further.

10. Is A Skin Care Expert

Who’d have thought marijuana could fight acne!

All said and done, one thing is clear – CBD oil has multiple unexplored benefits that need years of research and understanding.

But, if you still wish to use CBD oil for its incredible benefits, here are some points you might want to bear in mind:

How: Mode Of Administration

Pure CBD (hemp) oil can be consumed orally in small doses as a nutritional supplement as it has good fats (EFA), vitamins E and A, and many minerals in abundance.

CBD ethanol extract is also available in various carrier oils like coconut, hemp seed, and olive oils.

How Much: Intake Per Day

The intake of CBD is primarily dependent on the BMI (Body Mass Index) of the individual and the cause that’s being addressed.

Variable doses of CBD oil or extracts ranging from 1 mg/day to about a 1000 mg/day are considered safe.

Each one of us responds to a fixed dose of CBD differently. Do not try to self-medicate and formulate a dosage without medical supervision.

Caution

And now, coming to the obvious question we all have…

What Are The Side Effects Of Using CBD Oil?

After all, CBD is still a component of marijuana. There are chances of having side effects when you take CBD oil in high doses.

Many a time, the oil itself might have traces of psychoactive components like THC. CBD oil might not give you a ‘high’ but can result in any or all of the symptoms listed below:

• Diarrhea • Drowsiness • Vomiting • Nausea • Low blood pressure • Dry mouth • Anorexia • Insomnia • Psychotic effects (only in extremely high doses and/or mixed doses with THC)

This is why medical supervision is a must.

In A Nutshell…

Consult your doctor for any questions regarding the suitable make, dosage, instructions, and symptoms of an overdose of CBD in your body.

Formulations containing CBD oil are relatively expensive and have deleterious effects if abused. Again, moderation is key.
