Essential Oils
Essential Oils are used to balance, harmonize and promote the health of body, mind and spirit. This time-tested therapy seeks to support the individual’s innate healing process through physiological, psychological and spiritual means. They are one of nature’s most powerful support tools in helping the body. They can also be used for cleaning, cooking, skin care, animal care and enhancing the air in a room.
Essential Oils are one of the highest vibrational tools that can be used to raise your body’s frequency. They have been an integral part of spiritual practices for many religions and cultures throughout history.
Below, I provide more specifics on how oils work, how to utilize them in your daily practices and life, and the many oils I recommend based on your need.
How do essential oils work?
Humans are carbon-based just like plants and therefore the extracted essential oils are compatible and beneficial to us. These oils can strengthen protection from microbes in our own bodies. When used they easily pass through the dermal layers of the skin, are absorbed directly into the bloodstream, cross the blood-brain barrier and penetrate the cell membrane.
These concentrated plant extracts when used will reach the brain in 22 seconds, enter the bloodstream in 2 minutes and can ultimately affect every cell in your body within 20 minutes.
There are several application methods:
Aromatic: Inhaling through the nose, the molecules interact with our olfactory organs and interact with the brain within 22 seconds.
Diffuse with a diffuser.
Inhale from cupped hands.
Inhale from oil bottle.
Wear an oil pendant.
Topical: Skin is the body's largest organ. Anything applied to the skin is absorbed into our bloodstream. This can take up to 2 minutes.
Carrier oils, such as coconut oil, are fractionated and help protect the skin from irritation.
For topical uses, a carrier oil should be applied just prior to applying an essential oil or mixed with it.
Apply to area of pain or concern (dilute as needed with carrier oil).
Apply under nose, back of neck, forehead, wrists.
To affect entire body, apply to bottoms of feet, spine or navel.
To affect specific organs or body systems, apply to reflex points on the ears, hands or feet.
Add warm compress or massage to drive oils even deeper into body tissues.
Internally: Oils can be taken internally many ways. They can be added to water, teas, under the tongue, roof of mouth and more.
Put a drop or two of oil under tongue, hold a few seconds, and then swallow.
Drink a few drops in a glass of water.
Put a few drops of oil in an empty capsule and swallow.
Put a drop of oil on the back of your hand and lick.
Frequency:
Use every fifteen to twenty minutes until symptoms subside, then apply every two to six hours as needed.
