Essential Oils 

What are Essential Oils? 

For over 5,000 years, many different cultures have used these healing plant oils for a variety of health conditions. They are often used for relaxation, beauty care, home cleaning and most often used as natural medicine.

 

Essential oils are extracted directly from the bark, flower, fruit, leaf, seed or root of a plant or tree and contain tremendous healing properties. They are typically created through the process of distillation, which separates the oil and water-based compounds of a plant by steaming. They are highly concentrated and have a strong aroma. One drop of an essential oil can have powerful health benefits. 

 

Using essential oils for healing purposes is often called aromatherapy, which is a holistic treatment seeking to improve physical, mental and emotional health. Just adding some of the most common essential oils like lavender, frankincense, lemon, peppermint and tea tree oil to your natural medicine cabinet may:

  • Fight cold and flu symptoms

  • Relax your body and soothe sore muscles

  • Heal skin conditions

  • Alleviate pain

  • Balance hormones

  • Improve digestion

  • Reduce cellulite and wrinkles

  • Clean your home

How do we apply Essential Oils?

These are the four most common ways Essential Oils are used today:

​

Topically – Essential Oils have a very small size and of the chemical weight of less than 1000m (m = weight of molecule). According to scientific testing, any substance with a molecular weight below 1000m should be absorbed by the skin.

This means that essential oils are able to penetrate the skin and pass into the bloodstream and into different areas of the body for internal therapeutic benefits.

​

Aromatically – There is great evidence that essential oils are absorbed into the bloodstream when inhaled. The large amount of blood vessels in the lungs absorb the oils and then circulate them throughout the body. Using a 'diffuser' can help you experience the benefits of essential oils. A diffuser is a machine that spreads the mircoparticles of an Essential Oil into the air, by means of creating a mist using electricity.   

​

Ingestion – Essential Oils can be used as a powerful form of medicine. Most Essential Oils are safe for internal use but a little bit goes a long way. Usually 1–3 drops is plenty mixed with water. Oils like peppermint, lemon and frankincense have great internal benefits and can be taken with water. Other Essential Oils like clove and oregano need to be diluted and shouldn’t be taken internally for more than 1 week.

​

Personal Care – Today, the fastest way Essential Oils are being used is by making homemade DIY personal care products. This is an excellent away to take advantage of Essential Oils to improve your beauty, home and long-term health. Some of the best DIY recipes to use Essential Oils with include: shampoo, body butter, toothpaste, bug spray, lip balm and household cleaner. Mostly Essential OIls nowadays are used for weight loss, hair loss, stress relieve, focus aid and good night sleeps.
