Tietoa kasviöljyistä

Kasviöljyjen käyttö juontaa juurensa tuhansien vuosien taakse, ja niitä on käytetty monissa eri kulttuureissa, kuten muinaisissa sumerilaisissa, kiinalaisissa ja Rooman valtakunnassa.[1]

Kasviöljyt valmistetaan koko kasvista, säilyttäen sen tuoksun, tärkeimmät vaikuttavat aineet ja kasvin olemuksen. Erilaisista kasveista valmistettuja kasviöljyjä on käytetty historian saatossa jumalien kunnioittamiseen,[2] valmistella ruumiita hautajaisia varten,[3] säilyttää kauneutta, auttaa hygieniassa ja hoitaa monenlaisia sairauksia. Ohjeet kasvien valmistukseen ja käyttöön lääkkeenä on koottu Dioskorideen teoksiin, De materia medica.[4], jo ensimmäisellä vuosisadalla.

Nykyaikainen teknologia on mahdollistanut kasvien aktiivisten osien tunnistamisen ja tutkimisen niiden roolista terveydessä ja hyödyllisyydestä erilaisia sairauksia vastaan. Kasviöljyjen arvo on kestänyt ajan saatossa.  

Illakon ominaisuudet

Illakko on villikukka, joka sai alkunsa Keski-Amerikassa ja Meksikossa noin 70 000 vuotta sitten ja levisi pohjoiseen kasvaen kaikkialla Yhdysvalloissa, erityisesti jokirannoilla ja hiekkamaassa. Se on kukkiva kasvi, jonka keltaiset kukat avautuvat vain illalla, mistä se on saanut nimensä.[5]

Eurooppalaiset uudisasukkaat toivat juuren takaisin Englantiin ja Saksaan, missä sitä käytettiin ravintona, sekä Italiaan, josta se levisi ympäri Eurooppaa. Se mainitaan ensimmäisen kerran botaniikassa vuonna 1587, ja 16s vuosisadalla sitä kutsuttiin ”kuninkaiden kaikkivoipaiseksi lääkkeeksi” sen hyödyllisyyden vuoksi monissa sairauksissa. Sen latinalainen nimi, Oenothera, tarkoittaa ”kasvia, jonka mehu voi aiheuttaa unta”, viitaten sen rauhoittaviin ominaisuuksiin.[6] Alkuperäisamerikkalaiset hieroivat illakkoa mokkasiineihinsa peittääkseen hajun ja auttaakseen pääsemään lähemmäs eläimiä. Uskottiin, että se toi onnea metsästyksessä, mahdollisesti tästä syystä.[7]  

Ravintoaineet

Koko illakkokasvia voidaan käyttää ravintona. Pähkinänmakuista juurta söivät alkuperäisamerikkalaiset.[8] ja englantilaiset[9] ja saksalaiset kutsuivat sitä rampioniksi[10] ja piti sitä ravitsevampana kuin naudanlihaa.[11] Nuoria lehtiä voi syödä raakoina salaateissa.

Lehdet muuttuvat hyvin kitkeriksi, mutta niitä voi keittää useissa vesivaihdoissa, jotta ne maistuisivat paremmin. Syötäviä siemeniä on käytetty unikonsiemenien korvikkeena. Juuri siemenistä saadaan arvokas illakkoöljy. Siemenöljy on kasvin ainoa osa, jota edelleen säännöllisesti käytetään, ja välttämättömät rasvahapot ovat ainoat kasvin ravintoaineet, joita on tutkittu.

Illakkoöljyn rasvat ovat välttämättömiä rasvahappoja. Välttämättömät ravintoaineet ovat sellaisia, joita keho ei pysty itse valmistamaan – ne on saatava ravinnosta. Linolihappo, joka on illakkoöljyn hallitseva rasvahappo, on myös runsaasti lehtivihreissä vihanneksissa, siemenissä ja pähkinöissä.[12]

Vaikka omega-3-rasvahapot ovat tunnetumpia terveyshyödyistään, ihon ja hiusten ruokavalio ja terveys vaativat omega-6- ja omega-3-rasvahappojen tasapainoa. Amerikkalaisessa ruokavaliossa omega-6-rasvahappoja on usein runsaasti, ja ne voivat muuttua tulehdusta aiheuttavaksi arakidonihapoksi, erityisesti jos lähteenä on liha. Kasviperäiset omega-6-rasvahapot muuttuvat gamma-linolihapoksi, joka on tulehdusta ehkäisevä, ennen kuin ne muuttuvat arakidonihapoksi.[13]

Vaikka iltahelokkiöljy sisältää pääasiassa linolihappoa, se sisältää myös jopa 10 % gamma-linolihappoa (GLA).[14] GLA kehossa muuttuu dihomo-GLA:ksi (DGLA), joka on tulehdusta ehkäisevä, ennen kuin se muuttuu arakidonihapoksi. Muunnos vaatii riittävästi magnesiumia, sinkkiä sekä C-, B3- ja B6-vitamiineja.[15] GLA on runsaasti ihmisen rintamaidossa, jossa sen uskotaan auttavan hallitsemaan IgE-tasoa, joka on allergioihin liittyvä immunoglobuliini.[16] Rintamaidon lisäksi GLA on harvinainen ravinnossa, sitä löytyy vain mustaherukan ja kurjenpolven siemenistä sekä spirulinasta.[17]

Iltahelokkiöljy sisältää myös oleiinihappoa, palmitiini- ja steariinihappoa. Nämä rasvat antavat iltahelokkiöljylle pehmentävän ominaisuuden, mikä tekee siitä hyödyllisen kosmetiikassa, mutta näitä rasvoja on runsaasti monissa kasveissa. Samoin EPO on kasviesterolien lähde, jotka auttavat alentamaan kolesterolia, mutta niitä on laajalti saatavilla muissa kasviruoissa. Iltahelokki on arvostettu ensisijaisesti korkean GLA-pitoisuutensa vuoksi.[18]  

Iltahelokkiöljyn valmistus

Kylmäpuristettu

Puristaminen tarkoittaa iltahelokinsiementen hitaasti mekaanisen paineen, kuten kahden pyörivän metallilevyn, avulla murskaamista rasvojen vapauttamiseksi. Kylmäpuristettu tarkoittaa, että öljy on puristettu matalassa lämpötilassa.

Matalat lämpötilat estävät öljyn pilaantumisen[19] ja auttaa säilyttämään kasvin hyödylliset ominaisuudet, mukaan lukien kasviesterolit.[20] Uutettavien arvokkaiden yhdisteiden haihtuvuus tekee prosessista hyvin herkkän, ja se on suoritettava kapealla lämpötila-alueella.[21]

Liuotinuutto

Iltahelokinsiemenistä saatava öljymäärä on melko pieni, mutta erittäin arvokas. Öljyn määrä kasvaa huomattavasti, kun uuttamisessa käytetään liuotinta, kuten heksaania. Heksaani poistetaan sitten paineen alaisena matalissa lämpötiloissa.

Altistumisriskin poistamiseksi kokonaan eri yritykset ovat tutkineet vaihtoehtoisia menetelmiä. Yksi niistä on superkriittinen uutto hiilidioksidilla. Tämä tarkoittaa öljyn uuttamista tarkasti valvotuissa lämpötila- ja paineolosuhteissa, käyttäen hiilidioksidia öljyn maksimaaliseen erottamiseen.[22]

Iltahelokkiöljyn lääketieteelliset käyttötarkoitukset

Käyttö ayurvedisessa ja kiinalaisessa lääketieteessä

Iltahelokkiöljyä pidetään ayurvedisessa lääketieteessä, Intian perinteisessä lääketieteen järjestelmässä, viilentävänä ja ravitsevana, mikä tekee siitä hyödyllisen tulehdustiloissa. Sitä käytetään ekseemassa, allergioissa, autoimmuunisairauksissa ja immuunipuutosoireyhtymissä.[23]

Sekä ayurveda että perinteinen kiinalainen lääketiede tunnistavat illakkoöljyn arvon naisten lisääntymiskierron hallinnassa, ja kiinalaisessa lääketieteessä sitä käytetään veren liikkeen edistämiseen ja verenkierron parantamiseen.[24]  

Naisten terveys

Illakkoöljyä haetaan eniten naisten terveyden tueksi, mukaan lukien rintakystat ja kipu (myös nimeltään mastalgia).[25] Se on myös hyödyllinen PMS-oireisiin[26], raskausajan korkeaan verenpaineeseen, synnytyksen helpottamiseen[27] ja kuumien aaltojen hallintaan vaihdevuosina[28]Tarvitaan suurempia tutkimuksia[29] vahvistamaan sen hyötyä hoidossa, mutta illakon tulehdusta ehkäisevä vaikutus tukee sen perinteisiä käyttötarkoituksia näissä sairauksissa.[30]

Ihoekseema

1930-luvulta lähtien tutkijat ovat uskoneet, että välttämättömien rasvahappojen (EFA) puute tai EFA:n aineenvaihdunnan häiriö on atooppisen ihottuman perusta. Ihottumaa sairastavilla on runsaasti linolihappoa, mutta heillä voi olla vaikeuksia muuntaa sitä tulehdusta ehkäiseväksi GLA:ksi. Jos tämä pitää paikkansa, GLA-pitoisen illakkoöljyn käyttö voi olla hyödyllistä.[31]

Tutkimukset eivät ole johdonmukaisesti osoittaneet hyötyä, mutta kyse voi olla oikean annoksen löytämisestä.[32] Se voi auttaa isotretinoiinin, aknelääkkeen, sivuvaikutusten hallinnassa.[33] Lisätutkimuksia tarvitaan tehokkuuden määrittämiseksi.

Sydän- ja verisuoniterveys

Illakkoöljyn on todettu auttavan diabeteksen neuropatian aiheuttamaan kipuun ja hermotoiminnan heikkenemiseen. Tulokset vaativat suurta annosta öljyä kuuden kuukauden ajan, ja vaikutus oli parempi hyvin säädellyllä verensokerilla olevilla henkilöillä.[34]

Illakko voi myös auttaa verensokerin hallinnassa raskausdiabetesta sairastavilla naisilla. Lisää tutkimuksia tarvitaan.[35] Koska se edistää verenkiertoa, kiinnostusta on sen kykyyn parantaa Raynaudin taudin oireita, mutta lisää tutkimuksia tarvitaan.  

Nivelrikko

Välttämättömiä rasvahappoja on tutkittu niiden kyvystä lievittää nivelrikon kipua. Illakkoöljyn rasvat lisäävät suoraan DGLA:n määrää veressä. DGLA on voimakkaasti tulehdusta ehkäisevä rasva, jonka pitäisi vähentää kipua ja suojata niveliä.

Jotkut tutkimukset ovat lupaavia, mutta lisää todisteita tarvitaan, ennen kuin illakkoa voidaan suositella ensisijaiseksi reuman hoitomuodoksi.[36]  

Kosmetiikka

Illakkoöljyä käytetään kosmetiikkatuotteissa, kuten saippuoissa ja voiteissa. Se imeytyy hyvin ihoon ja pehmentää sitä hyödyllisten öljyjen ansiosta. Paikallisesti sitä käytetään usein yhdessä kantajaöljyn kanssa, joka parantaa illakkoöljyn stabiilisuutta.[37]  

Perinteiset käyttötavat

Intiaanit käyttivät illakkoa haavojen ja peräpukamien parantamiseen tehtyjen kääreiden valmistukseen. Sitä pidettiin lääkkeenä reumaan, halvaantumiseen ja kihtiin. Koko kasvia käytettiin teenä tai tinktuurana unettomuuden, levottomuuden lievittämiseen ja keuhkojen rauhoittamiseen tukoksissa, kuten keuhkoputkentulehduksessa.[38]

Sen käyttö levottomuuteen on todennäköisesti johtanut nykyiseen ehdotukseen, että se olisi hyödyllinen ADHD:n hoidossa, mutta tutkimusta vaikutuksesta ei ole vielä riittävästi. Sitä on myös käytetty auttamaan kehoa toipumaan liiallisesta alkoholinkäytöstä.[39]  

 

Kysymyksiä iltahämähäkin öljystä

Mitä minun tulisi etsiä iltahämähäkin öljystä? Suurin osa iltahämähäkin öljystä myydään kapseleina. GLA on melko epävakaa ja härskiintyy nopeasti, joten etsi tuotteita, joihin on lisätty antioksidantti, kuten vitamiini E. Käytä luotettavia valmistajia. On monia esimerkkejä siitä, että iltahämähäkin öljy on korvattu kapseleissa halvemmalla soija- tai safloriöljyllä.[40]  

Voinko olla allerginen iltahämähäkin öljylle? Allergiat iltahämähäkille ovat harvinaisia, mutta mahdollisia. Jos tiedät olevasi allerginen iltahämähäkin kukille tai GLA:lle, älä käytä iltahämähäkkiä paikallisesti tai sisäisesti. Kysy lääkäriltäsi allergiatestauksesta iltahämähäkille tai muille onagraceae-heimoon kuuluville kasveille.  

Onko iltahämähäkin öljyn käyttö lapsille turvallista? Iltahämähäkin öljyä on tutkittu ja todettu turvalliseksi lapsille. Se ei ole yleinen allergeeni, mutta jos lapsellasi on allergia iltahämähäkille tai muille onagraceae-heimoon kuuluville kasveille, älä käytä iltahämähäkin öljyä paikallisesti tai sisäisesti ravintolisänä.

Voinko käyttää iltahämähäkin öljyä ruoanlaitossa? Et käyttäisi iltahämähäkin öljyä ruoanlaittoon. Se on erittäin epävakaa lämmön vaikutuksesta, mutta kasvi on syötävä ja ravinteikas. Nuoria lehtiä voi lisätä salaattiin, ja juuria voi syödä. Kantajaöljy, kuten oliiviöljy, voidaan infusoida iltahämähäkin kukilla kasvin ominaisuuksien saamiseksi. Öljyä voisi sitten käyttää kuten käyttäisit oliiviöljyä.[41]  

Kuinka pitkä on iltahämähäkin öljyn säilyvyysaika? Erittäin lyhyt! Oikeissa säilytysolosuhteissa iltahämähäkin öljy säilyy vain noin kuusi kuukautta. Vitamiini E lisätään iltahämähäkin öljyyn suojaamaan sitä hapettumiselta, joka alkaa, kun öljy alkaa härskiintyä, pidentäen sen säilyvyyttä. Iltahämähäkin öljyt tulee säilyttää jääkaapissa, ja sitä käytettäessä valmisteissa se tulisi lisätä vasta lämmitysvaiheen jälkeen.  

Eikö iltahämähäkin öljy tuki ihohuokosiani? Iltahämähäkin öljy on hyvä pehmentäjä, mikä tarkoittaa, että se on hyvä hajottamaan ihoa ja pehmentämään sitä. Silti kasvojen ihohuokoset voivat olla herkempiä paksujen öljyjen tukkimiselle. Jos sinulla on taipumus rasvaiselle iholle, iltahämähäkin öljyä voi olla parempi käyttää muilla kehon alueilla.  

Varovaisuus ja huomioon otettavat seikat

On olemassa joitakin todisteita siitä, että iltahämähäkki voi lisätä kohtausaktiivisuutta. Älä käytä iltahämähäkkiä, iltahämähäkin öljyä tai iltahämähäkin eteeristä öljyä, jos sinulla on epilepsia tai olet altis minkä tahansalaisille kohtauksille.

Iltahelokki voi lisätä verenvuotoa, joten sitä ei pidä käyttää, jos sinulla on verenvuoto- tai hyytymishäiriö, käytät verenohennuslääkkeitä tai olet leikkauksessa. Iltahelokkiöljy voi aiheuttaa vatsavaivoja, pahoinvointia, ripulia, löysiä ulosteita tai päänsärkyä.
