What are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds that are distilled from plants. They can be both beautifully and powerfully fragrant. Essential oils are very clean, to the touch and are immediately absorbed by the skin. If you have ever walked through a beautiful lavender field, you have experienced the aromatic qualities of an Essential Oil. As we begin to understand the power of essential oils in the realm of personal holistic health care, we comprehend the absolute necessity of obtaining certified pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils. No matter how costly certified pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils may be, there can be no substitute. Chemists can replicate t=some of the known individual constituents, but they have yet to successfully recreate complete essential oils in the laboratory.
What benefits do certified pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils provide?
Essential oils embody the regenerating, oxygenating, and immune-strengthening properties of plants. Essential oils are so small in molecular size that they can quickly penetrate the skin. Essential oils are antibacterial, anticancer, antifungal, anti-infectious, antimicrobial, antitumor, antiparasitic, antiviral, and antiseptic. Essential oils have been shown to destroy all tested bacteria and viruses while simultaneously restoring balance to the body. Essential oils may detoxify the cells and blood in the body. Essential oils can help promote emotional, physical, and spiritual healing.
A brief history of Essential Oils
Aromatic plants have long played an important role in human civilizations. Although the use of essential oils has evolved over the years, the basic principles remain the same. From the beginning of time, oils extracted from aromatic plants have been recognized as the most effective medicine known to mankind. Some places around the world that used essential oils were Egypt, China, Greece, Rome, Israel, Arabia, and Europe.
Essential Oil Application Methods
Topical Application- is the process of placing an essential oil on the skin, hair, mouth, teeth, nails, or mucus membranes of the body.
Aromatic Application- involves inhaling either a fine mist of the oil or a vapor of volatile aromatic components that have evaporated from the oil.
Internal Application- is the process of consuming or otherwise internalizing the essential oil into the body.
