Introduction

      The use of essential oils, known as Aromatherapy, is one of nature�s greatest gifts. For psychological and physical well being to �lift" the mood, soothe the body and enhance the quality of life. Essential oils are one of the greatest natural resources of the world with surprisingly potent and outstanding properties. Essential oils have provided needed therapy for all ages, and unlike chemical drugs, essential oils do not remain in the body and they leave no toxins behind.

      Essential oils are a valid and valuable way to help improve your health and well-being. Essential oils are 100% pure and natural oil for alternative health. Essential oils have been called �the purest form of living energy that we can inset into man�. They are the substances distilled from plant parts; roots, trees, leaves, flowers, barks, and even fruits. Essential oils are frequently referred to as the �life force� of the plant (much as blood is to us) and are responsible for the plant�s scent among other things.

About Essential Oils

      Essential Oils contain the oxygenating properties from natures plants, and are the molecules are so microscopic and transport the nutrients to the cells of the body and they penetrate the cells and disperse within minutes throughout the body when applied topically. Essential oils also contain odorous principles of the plant material from which they are derived, and all useful parts of the plant may be utilized in their production. Essential oils contain a frequency that is several times greater than the frequency of herbs and food. Research has shown that the oils have the highest frequency of any substance known to man.

      Essential oils are the subtle, aromatic and volatile liquids extracted from the plant parts through distillation. Most essential oils are obtained by a steam distillation process, however, many citrus oils are expressed by a cold pressed method and also contain natural pigments from the fruit. Essential oils are aromatic, which means many of their benefits can be obtained by inhaling them. Essential oils can actually re-oxygenate the air, removing particles and toxins from the air you breath. They can destroy (not cover up like air fresheners you spray today) odors from old, cigarettes, and animals.

      When essential oils are inhaled, they will stimulate cellular renewal, enhance emotions and rejuvenate the spirit. When inhaled the molecules of the oil are carried in the aroma where it penetrates the bloodstream through the lungs to cause change. These changes affect the limbic area of the brain - - an area that is related to emotions and memories. The aromatic characteristic of the essential oils have many benefits. When diffused throughout the room, it can be the best filtration system in the world. They can purify the room by removing metallic particles and toxins, increase atmospheric oxygen, increase ozone and mutative ions in the house, which inhibits bacteria growth, destroy odors and fill the air with a fresh, herbal scent at the same time. You can also receive the benefits of the aromatic properties as you would in the bath because the steam rises and you breath in relaxed and deeply as you bathe.

      The essential oils can also be applied through massage and absorbed into the body by the skin, penetrating and stimulate every cell in our body within twenty minutes of application. The penetrating characteristic of essential oils greatly enhances their ability to be effective. Essential oils are penetrated in the body when you take a hot bath, shower, massage etc� through the skin and their pores. They can even penetrate nails to help with fungal problems.

      Essential oils are used in aromatherapy, therapeutics, flavors and fine perfumery. One of the most misunderstood concepts about essential oils and aromatherapy is that it is strictly for the enjoyment of the aroma. While there is no question that essential oils smell wonderful, there are also many other benefits and uses for them. Essential oils have been known to be used for arthritis, high blood pressure, allergies, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, chronic fatigue syndrome, gingivitis, headaches, hormonal imbalances, lupus, ADD, infections, and viruses to name only a few. They have been used for helping with disinfecting cuts (and speed healing with out scarring), soothing burns (preventing blisters), helping skin problems (rashes, dry skin, itchy skin, acne, etc�), stomach problems (indigestion, heart burn, nausea, etc�), eliminating fungus, protecting against bug bites, destroying mold, and mildew, strengthening the immune system, which need support and essential oils can provide this.

Why Essential Oils

      First, I would like to let you know that essential oils have helped my family members, friends and myself without complications. We have used all of the products and essential oils listed on this website. We do not test on animals. The information in this website is my personal information and findings.

      Essential oils are a broad and expanding field that scientists are just beginning to explore. Essential oils reach and influence the deepest human instincts. Research has shown that we respond to the aroma of essential oils within one to three seconds (depending on the type of use, diffusion, massage, bath, candles etc...). Because essential oils have a unique lipid-solution structure, they are able to easily pass through cell membranes, particularly of the skin, and diffuse into the bloodstream. They penetrate the skin the same way that the active ingredients do without leaving toxins behind.

      When a living cell is deprived of oxygen and nutrition it starts to die an early death and the first thing it does is develop a hard surface. These dying, diseased cells become nests for bacteria and viral infections that lead to many diseases. Oxygen, nutrients, vitamins, supplements can not enter a diseased cell. Essential oils CAN penetrate that hard, thick cell wall and the result is the delivery of oxygen and other nutrients, giving the cell new life.

      The healing properties of Essential Oils are capable of not only treating our physical bodies, they are renowned for enhancing our state of mind as well. The healing properties of Essential Oils extend into the effective treatment of a variety of physical ailments.

The following statements regarding the importance of oxygen at the cellular level are from the Bio/Tech News, 1996.

1. "Cancer is a condition within the body where the oxidation has become so depleted that the body cells have degenerated beyond physiological control. Similarly, the true cause of allergy is lowered oxidation process within the body, causing the affected individual to be sensitive to foreign substances entering the body. Only when the oxidation mechanism is restored to its original highest state of efficiency can the sensitivity be eliminated." - - Dr. Wendell Hendricks, (Hendricks Research Foundation)
   
2. "The link between insufficient oxygen and disease has been firmly established. Insufficient oxygen means insufficient biological energy that can result in anything from mild fatigue to life-threatening disease. The evidence is overwhelming. Oxygen plays a powerful, primary role in our health and well-being. The more oxygen we have in our system, the more energy we produce. Understanding this is more important today than ever before, because of a general deficiency of oxygen intake. Simply the best way to optimize health is to be sure that we oxygenate every cell in our body." - - Dr. Norman McVea
