Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a lipid-soluble
antioxidant. Being an antioxidant
it helps to protect the pituitary and adrenal hormones, promotes proper
functioning of linoleic acid and is useful in slowing the ageing process by
protecting the cell membranes of the body. Vitamin E is an excellent aid for burns and the healing of
scar tissue, when applied topically (applying lavender, helichrysum, geranium
and carrot seed essential oils before application of Vitamin E is incredible
for healing scar tissue and remember honey is fantastic when it comes to burns
of any degree.) It is also
suggested that when one is taking external vitamin E that internal use is
extremely complementary. The best
time to take vitamin E is at bed time or before meals. Alpha tocopherol is the
most potent form of vitamin E.
Tocopherol is the highest available source through cold-pressed
vegetable oils, wheat germ, whole raw seeds and nuts, and soybeans. Vitamin E has been successful in
regulating excessive or scanty flows of menstruation; assistive for menopausal
symptoms such as hot flashes and headaches. Vitamin E is also helpful with treatment of varicose veins
and in restoration of an unhealthy liver.
100 IU’s seems to be a daily
recommended dose for adults.
However, if one requires more IU’s it is important to remember to start
at 100 IU’s first and increase 100 IU’s a month at a time. I truly do not think that more than
1000 IU’S are necessary.
Food sources are: Asparagus,
avocado, egg, milk, almonds, hazelnuts, red palm oil, seeds, spinach and other
green leafy vegetables, corn oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, olive oil, walnut
oil, wheat germ, and whole grain foods.
