Is it
safe to use essential oils?
The
beautiful thing about the use of
essential oils is that they can be
used safely without any secondary
stresses to the body as often occurs
from NSAIDs, pain relievers, or
other over-the-counter medications.
Science is now beginning to confirm
what the ancients knew so well —
essential oils, the pure “essence”
of a plant, provide both
psychological and physical benefits
when used properly and with wisdom.
What
can we use essential oils for?
There are many actions that
essential oils can create within the
body such as anti-inflammatory
benefits, pain relieving benefits,
antibacterial benefits, stimulation
of proper digestion, cellular
detoxification, expectorant effect,
and antispasmodic uses.
Where
Do Essential Oils Come From?
Out
of all the thousands of plants in
this world, only about 300 actually
render essential oils. The essential
oils of aromatic plants are stored
in special cells, ducts or glandular
hairs, and are located in many
different parts of the plant such as
flowers, blossoms, fruit skins,
seeds, stems, leaves, roots or bark.
As a result, the oils can encompass
a wide range of aromas and tastes.
They can be tart and tangy, as are
oils from the citrus family of
lemon, orange, tangerine,
grapefruit, mandarin, and lime. They
can be warm and spicy, like the oils
of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, ginger,
black pepper, cardamom, or cumin.
The oils can be wonderfully floral
as are geranium, rose, and lavender.
They can be powerfully herbaceous,
like oregano, basil, dill, rosemary,
sage, tarragon, and savory. They can
be fresh and minty, as are
peppermint and spearmint.
So
exactly how is it that essential
oils work?
The Sense of Scent:
Essential oils affect people first
through their sense of smell. Your
sense of smell is actually the most
rapidly responding of all your
senses; it’s the source of all
moods, emotions, creativity and
motivation; therefore, scents affect
each immediately. How can that
happen? Take a moment and think
about it — the smell of
freshly-baked pumpkin pie can elicit
responses in one’s body within
seconds. Is your mouth watering yet?
The
mouth may begin watering, a sense of
warmth can pervade the body, and
emotions tied to past family events
may quickly come to your awareness —
all from the scent of fresh-baked
pumpkin pie. Through the beautiful
aromas of various essential oils, an
overall sense of well-being can be
created or enhanced.
Topical Application:
When essential oils are applied
topically, almost instantaneous
absorption occurs through the skin,
moving into the blood stream, then
to the deprived area. Swelling
decreases, blood circulation
returns, the pain is diminished, and
mobility is restored.
It
has been reported that when applying
essential oils on the bottom of the
feet, the constituents of that oil
will travel to every cell within 20
minutes of application. Oftentimes,
it’s possible to even smell certain
oils on someone’s breath within
seconds of applying them to the
skin!
Bioelectric Activity:
This electric activity is a coherent
and harmonic balance of energy,
which helps maintain life. At a
cellular level, a person does not
live or die all at once, but rather
one cell at a time. If our diet is
lower in frequency than the body,
the cell’s ability to live is in
jeopardy and can die. The death of
cells creates a place for toxins,
which then creates a host for
disease to thrive. Using essential
oils may elevate the body’s
frequency. When elevating the body’s
frequency, disease no longer has a
supportive environment.
Ingestion:
Essential oils possess subtle
energies able to interact with the
body’s own energy system to promote
wellness and healing. Many oils
taken internally will support the
immune system, the detoxification
and cellular health needed for a
vibrant life.
What
makes ForeverYoungEO
essential oils so special?
The
essential difference that
ForeverYoungEO brings to the
marketplace is an offering of
premium grade, 100% pure,
therapeutic essential oils. Make no
mistake about it — there is a
distinct difference in quality of
essential oils in the market.
There are no other essential oils on
the market - that we’re aware of -
that will garner the same benefits.
EVERY other essential oil line that
we have researched and studied has
been compromised in one way or
another by:
-
Being extracted with hexane, or
other toxins
-
Being extended with synthetic
oils and other potentially
health-compromising synthetic
ingredients
-
Being extended – they’re “in a
base of...” various kinds of
fatty oils (almond, sunflower,
etc), thus diluting the
therapeutic value and impacting
the essential oils!
We
cringe when we hear people say that
they’re in a hurry to get the
essential oil they need, so they’ll
run to the store and get it - or
they found the oil ‘cheaper’ at a
bath store or some other local
health food store. They may have
found an essential oil a bit
cheaper, or a bit quicker . . . but
at what cost? At what penalty to
their body? And will it really be
effective? It’s likely that the
store-bought essential oil won’t be
as effective, and its possible it
could even be toxic!
What does E.O.B.B.D. certified mean?
ForeverYoungEO
uses an exacting standard of
certification for purity known as
E.O.B.B.D (Essential
Oils
Botanically
and Biochemically
Defined).
In
order to be E.O.B.B.D. certified,
oils are tested by third-party
professionals using methods which
determine exactly what constituents
are in the oil, as well as breaking
down the percentages.
Absence of E.O.B.B.D. certification
may mean adulteration of an
originally authentic essential oil.
Look for the E.O.B.B.D.
certification seal of authenticity
on each bottle of
ForeverYoung
premium-grade oils!
