Natural Health
When I first heard about essential oils, I didn’t think they were for me…
I am not a massage therapist nor do I use incense so I just thought I would have no use for them. Boy, was I wrong. I was quickly educated to find out essential oils at the highest quality actually aid with many ailments and are a great “first defense” alternative to wasted money on first defense Dr. visits where you are basically told to rest or prescribed a cold and flu drug that takes upwards of 14 days to get rid of. Not only on the physical health side of things, but the emotional side as well. Many oils help with anxiety, depression, and overall mood.
If you have ever enjoyed the scent of a rose…
you’ve experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils. These naturally occurring, volatile aromatic compounds are found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. They can be both beautifully and powerfully fragrant. Essential oils give plants their distinctive smells, essential oils protect plants and play a role in plant pollination. In addition to their intrinsic benefits to plants and their beautiful fragrance, essential oils have long been used for food preparation, beauty treatment, and health-care practices. Essential oils are in everything - in your candles, toothpaste, handsoap, perfume, but most of the time are synthetic and potentially harmful to the body, so finding a good quality oil is important.
When you first open a bottle of essential oil, you instantly notice that the aroma is potent and you can smell it typically even from some distance. Such unique properties make essential oils ideal for applications inclusion in aromatherapy – using these compounds from plants to help maintain a healthy mind and body – as well as other applications. The type of volatile aromatic compounds present in an essential oil determines both the oil’s aroma and the benefits it offers.
Over 3,000 varieties of volatile aromatic compounds have been identified to date. The nature of an essential oil varies from plant to plant, within botanical families, and from species to species. The delicate ratio of aromatic constituents found in any given essential oil are what make it unique and give it specific benefits.
Even with pure essential oils the composition of the oil can vary depending on the time of day, season, geographic location, method and duration of distillation, year grown, and the weather, making every step of the production process a critical determinant of the overall quality of the essential oil product.
Essential oils can be used for a wide range of emotional and physical wellness applications. They can be used as single essential oils or in complex essential oil blends depending on user experience and desired benefit. Want to learn how to use essential oils?
