What are Essential Oils?

Essential oils are the oldest and some of the most powerful therapeutic agents know to man. They have a millennium-long history of use in healing and some were highly valued as antiseptics hundreds of years before the discovery of modern antiseptics.

Essential oils are highly concentrated natural plant extracts; a drop or two can produce significant results. An entire plant, when distilled, might produce only a single drop of essential oil. That is why their potency is far greater than dried herbs. Pressing or distillation extracts the subtle, volatile liquids (meaning they evaporate quickly) from plants, shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds, that make up essential oils.
Essential oils are the life-blood of the plant, protecting it from bacterial and viral infections, cleansing breaks in its tissue and delivering oxygen and nutrients into the cells. In essence, they act as the immune system of the plant. That is why they are so essential to the plant -- without them, plants could not survive.
In the human body, they have a similar action -- such as transporting valuable nutrients to the cells; increasing oxygen intake, and digesting toxic waste in the blood. This is because the three primary elements - carbon, hydrogen and oxygen-are common to both human beings and essential oils. This shared chemistry makes essential oils one of the most compatible of all plant substances with human biochemistry.
Not only that, but the lipid-soluble structure of essential oils and the fact that they have a protein-like structure similar to human cells and tissues makes them even more compatible with human tissue.

Quality & Purity

Essential oils can be processed in different ways, which dramatically effects their chemistry and medicinal action. Oils that have been redistilled two or three times are obviously not as potent as oils that have been distilled only once. Also, oils that are subjected to high heat and pressure in processing have an inferior profile of chemical constituents, since excessive heat and temperature fractures and breaks down many of the delicate aromatic compounds within the oil -- compounds that are responsible for much of the therapeutic action of the oil.
Of even greater importance is the fact that some oils are thinned or cut (i.e. adulterated) with synthetic chemicals. For therapeutic purposes it is very important to use the highest therapeutic grade essential oils

Why do I need Essential OIls?

the use of Essential Oils may help support your Immune System, stave off deadly microorganisms, and promote overall health.

From AIDS..to Epstein Barr..to Lyme disease..to deadly food bacteria such as e.coli and salmonella..to the mutant flesh-eating streptococcus bacterium, the fatigue-causing cytomegalovirus and the deadly hantavirus..to nearly invisible "stealth" parasites like cryptosporidium and giardia ...to deadly new strains of TB.. to the frightening new outbreaks of "airport malaria" and mosquito-borne dengue hemorrhagic fever you name it, the world is rapidly becoming a dangerous place to live.

How serious is the situation? Very. In practical terms, less than 20 years ago a simple illness such as the flu was a mere week-long inconvenience for just about anybody.

Today, the same illness is literally killing seemingly healthy people due to accompanying antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections, vicious new viral infections, and numerous other complications such as pneumonia, tuberculosis and more.

In short, today it is literally becoming too dangerous for anyone, of any age, to get sick.

How do I use Essential Oils?

Using Essential Oils for greater health is so easy! Recently some of our friends shared with us how they have been successfully using essential oils on their three children for the last five years. ( None of their children have ever had to go to a doctor!) You simply rub oils on the bottoms of your feet, on your chest, down your spine, or on locations, depending on your health need, and the oils work their way through the skin to the entire body within approx. 21 minutes. They even bypass the digestive system for people with poor digestion.
