Essential Oils

Name: Essential Oils

Other Names: Aromatherapy, Oils

Description: Therapeutic grade essential oils are pure and potent substances from nature which are able to penetrate the cell membranes and blood brain barrier to bring balance and homeostasis to all body systems.

Any portion of the bush, flower, herb, or tree can be used as long as it produces an oil substance. The stem, flower, branches, leaves, or roots are also utilized, and oils may be derived from tree sap or bark. After the oils are harvested, they are distilled using the specific temperature, pressure, and length of time suitable to each. Extracting the essential oils in this manner conserves their healing abilities.
The primary characteristics of these oils are
1. as carriers of nutrients for the body and
2. as sources of oxygen for the tissues and organs.

The essential oil has the ability in its chemical structure to penetrate the cell wall and transport oxygenand nutrients inside the cell, thus increasing cellular oxygen and giving more support to the immune system. Research has shown that with their immune-stimulating properties, essential oils enhance and support the building of the immune system, whether they are inhaled or rubbed on the body topically. Even those who contract a cold or the flu recover 70 percent faster using essential oils. This has tremendous value in stimulating our immune system. It is well known that human tissues require a substantial concentration of oxygen for their health. The oxygen and other nutrients are carried efficiently by the oils assuring good nutrition and, consequently, better health of the body tissues.
