Essential Oils
What are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are different than the fatty oils found in vegetables & nuts. Essential oils are highly concentrated compounds extracted from plants, seed, leaves, flower, bark, roots, rinds, fruit, stem and resin. The molecules are so small they can penetrate on a cellular level...unlike the nut and vegetable oils.
Compounds are extracted by steam distillation or cold pressing depending on the plant and part of the plant that the compounds are being extracted from.
Essential oils have properties that are antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, analgesic, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory and sedative.
One little glass bottle, one tiny drop, one inhale of the aromatics can have a very big and incredibly positive impact on the body.
Essential oils are a very complimenting addition to healthy lifestyle practices.
How To Use
Essential oils are incredibly versatile. These tiny bottles of "liquid gold" can be used topically, internally and aromatically.
When implementing essential oils into ones home I suggest also keeping a few tools on hand to enhance ones abilities...
an essential oil diffuser (remember to use with distilled water)
some carrier oil for safe topical application of essential oils (fractionated coconut oil, almond oil, jojoba oil to name a few options)
liquid castle soup (like Dr. Bronner's liquid castile soap)
amber glass spray bottles
These tiny wonders support...
stress management
immune system
pain management
digestion
skin conditions
non-toxic body care
non-toxic cleaning
and SO much more!
