Natural remedies are always my first course of action with any ailment.
I do refer to Western medicine but only in extreme cases when I am unable to self diagnose or find the right combination of herbs to be effective.
In 44 years on this earth, this process has served me well.
Mind you, I am from the Islands and grew up witnessing and experiencing the effects of natural healing.
Through the years I have come to depend on essential oils and have found them to be immensely effective as natural healing agents.What are essential oils?
Essential oils are the volatile, aromatic oils obtained by steam or hydro-distillation of botanics.
Essential oils are the regenerating, oxygenating, and immune defense properties of plants.
In layman's terms, essential oils are the blood or vital life force of the plant.
Parts of the plants such as flowers, leaves, seeds, roots, stems, bark, wood, etc. can be used to distill essential oils.
Essential oils (Technically they are aromatic essences but due to their ability to bind with fats they have been dubbed essential oils) or Aromatic Essence Solutions have been used as medicines and cosmetics and were considered more valuable than gold since before Christ.
Oils like frankincense, myrrh, rosemary, and hyssop were used for anointing and healing.Preserved oils were found in alabaster jars in King Tut’s tomb in Egypt.
Recipes for making and blending of the oils were recorded in hieroglyphics on the walls of Egyptian temples.
The energetic components of essential oils make them 70 times more potent than herbs.
It takes 21 minutes for essential oils to penetrate the cells of the body verses 5 to 10 hours for herbal formulas.
This makes essential oils more effective as nutrient transporters.
Essential oils stimulate the senses of smell, taste, and emotions.
Their chemical composition is similar to human hormones making them natural aphrodisiacs.
Because the oils contain antimicrobial inhibitors microbes can not survive in the oils.
Evidence has shown that no bacteria or virus have developed any resistance to essential oils.
They have the highest energy frequency, antioxidants, antiseptic, and oxygenation properties.
The use of essential oils help to bring balance to one's physical, emotional, and mental well being.
It is important when using essential oils that they are unadulturated or food grade quality.
In other words, if you can't put it in your mouth you probably don't want to put it on your skin.
Essential oils are amazing for imparting flavor to foods, especially in the preparation of pastries.
