Oxidation is one of the biggest causes behind most of our health troubles and diseases. It leads to the formation of free radicals, which are very dangerous to the body’s tissues and have been connected to cancer and premature aging.

High-antioxidant foods and plants are evaluated by ORAC score (oxygen radical absorption capacity), which tests the power of a substance to absorb and eliminate free radicals. Dried vanilla bean spice is rated at an incredible 122,400 ORAC value! A study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry noted that pure vanilla extract, which was made with cured vanilla beans and 60 percent aqueous ethyl alcohol, has high levels of antioxidant activity. The study noted that the results “point towards the potential use of vanilla extract components as antioxidants for food preservation and in health supplements as nutraceuticals.” (2)

Erectile dysfunction, for example, comes in many degrees and can be caused by low levels of testosterone, medications, poor diet, fatigue, stress, depression or other illnesses.

Antioxidants kill free radicals in the body and reverse oxidative stress-causing chronic disease.

According to the National Cancer Institute, at high concentrations, free radicals can be hazardous to the body and damage all major components of cells, including DNA, proteins, and cell membranes. The damage to cells caused by free radicals, especially the damage to DNA, may play a role in the development of cancer and other health conditions. (3) Antioxidants are known as “free radical scavengers” that interact with, neutralize and fight free radical damage.

Vanilla Essence and Extract

The vanilla plant is an herbaceous climbing vine (1) that requires a supporting tree or pole for optimal growth. It bears trumpet-shaped flowers which are naturally pollinated by bees and hummingbirds and even hand pollinated. Unripe vanilla pods turn yellow when they grow 5 to 8 inches long and are ready to harvest. These are then blanched in boiling water, sweated, and sun-dried for a few weeks until they turn dark brown and wrinkled. Then the white crystalline essence known as vanillin is extracted from some superior quality beans. This essence is referred to as the vanilla flavor.

The most common form of vanilla is a vanilla extract which is prepared by percolating chopped vanilla beans in ethyl alcohol and water for about 48 hours. The mixture is stored for several months and then filtered. Several varieties of vanilla are available in the market of which Madagascar vanilla is the most widely used. This rich sweet variety accounts for 75% of the vanilla production while the remaining comprises of vanilla from Tahiti and Mexico.

Vanilla Essential Oil Uses

Vanilla has been used by different cultures for healing purposes. According to Carol Schiller in ‘The Aromatherapy Encyclopedia,’ Africans used it for stomach-related issues, as did the Europeans, who also utilized it as a poisoning antidote and an aphrodisiac.

People have used vanilla for mood issues to relieve anxiety and stress. It has been used for muscle aches and pains, to break up congestion, and as a sleep aid.

Since the resinoid is created by solvent extraction, it is not a good idea to use it therapeutically as some of the chemicals are left behind. CO2 extraction is a cleaner process, but some people still do not like using these for remedies for the same reason.

As mentioned above, it is also hard to tell exactly what constituents are in your product and in what amounts. If you want to use your vanilla absolute or ‘vanilla oil’ in a therapeutic blend, you will likely want to see if the company has performed testing on the substance to ensure quality.

For Cooking

One of the most obvious ways to use vanilla would be in cooking. It is the most popular extract and is used in countless baking and dessert recipes. That being said, it is imperative to examine the differences between vanilla essential oil vs. vanilla extract.

All essential oils, CO2 extracts, absolutes, and oleoresins are highly concentrated substances. Extracts, on the other hand, are made from macerated bean pods that percolate in ethyl alcohol and water mix. [5] They are nowhere near as concentrated.

Therefore, where you often may use a half to a whole teaspoon of extract in a recipe, using this much of any essential oil would overpower and ruin the recipe.

Because of this, using the toothpick method is recommended for drinks. Dip the end of a toothpick in the oil and swirl it into the beverage. This is often plenty of flavors. For larger or denser recipes, one drop is usually sufficient for distinguishable flavor.

Being that vanilla is eclipsed only by saffron as the most expensive spice in the world due to its labor-intensive production, you probably don’t want to waste it anyway! [6] This is also why synthetic vanillin is used commercially much more than true vanilla.

Did you know you can make your own high-quality vanilla extract at home? Simply take seven or eight vanilla beans and slice them lengthwise. Submerge them in a cup of 70-proof vodka in an airtight jar. Shake your jar twice a week for eight weeks.

At this point, you can strain the liquid from the beans or leave it as-is to age. Just be sure to keep them submerged. If you like, you can experiment with beans from different areas for flavor changes, or use bourbon, rum, or other alcohol.

Aromatherapy

The scent of vanilla is calming for a lot of people and conjures up happy memories of mothers and grandmothers baking during the holidays.

Scents that affect the limbic system in this manner are helpful for relieving stress and anxiety. Just remember that you cannot use thicker oil and absolutes in many diffusers. However, they are excellent for candle-warmed devices.

Perfumery

Vanilla has been used for years in the perfume industry for ages. It is an excellent fixative and can be used as a base note. Because of its high cost, tonka bean (Dipteryx odorata / Coumarouna odorata) is often used in its place.

Learning how to make your own perfume can be rewarding, and you can save a lot of money in the long run.

Precautions                                                                                                 

• Do not use it on sensitive areas such as ears, eyes, etc.
• Consult with a health practitioner for use.

Other Facts        

Vanilla essential oil blends well with Lemon, Orange, Jojoba, Neroli, Lavender, Chamomile, and Sandalwood.
