Essential oils
1. WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OIL?
Essential oils are extracted from plants using a variety of methods usually with distillation or cold expression. An essential oil has the “essential aromatic” and chemical properties of that plant. It is the “lifeblood” of the plant and helps to defend against insects and environmental conditions. They are also vital for a plant to grow, live, evolve, and adapt to its surroundings.
While essential oils often have a pleasant aroma, their chemical makeup is complex and their benefits vast—which makes them much more than something that simply smells good.
2. HOW DO ESSENTIAL OILS WORK?
Essential oils have the unique ability to penetrate cell membranes and travel throughout the bloodstream and tissues. The lipid-soluble structure of an essential oil is very similar to the makeup of our own cell membrane and the molecules of essential oils are small, which allows them to be penetrated into our cells.
Essential oils can also balance your emotional state and support our nervous system. By smelling an essential oil the limbic system in our brain, that is responsible for memory, learning, emotions and hormone balance gets stimulated and activated. This close connection between aroma and emotion becomes obvious in our everyday life as certain odors trigger memories or specific feelings. Some aromas directly impact mood (for example calming, balancing, or invigorating), while others trigger memories of a specific experience, often one tied to a strong emotion.
3. ARE ESSENTIAL OILS ONLY A TREND RIGHT NOW?
You might be seeing more and more people use essential oils right now and think that they are the trendy thing but essential oils have actually been around for many thousands of years.
Historically, essential oils have played a prominent role in everyday life. With more than 200 references to aromatics, incense, and ointments throughout the Bible, essential oils are said to be used for anointing and for daily usages. Frankincense and Myrrh were given to baby Jesus by the 3 wise men and if its good enough for baby Jesus its good enough for me, right?
Also, the Young Living blend Thieves was created after researching about four thieves in the 15th century France who covered themselves in rosemary, clove, and other aromatics while robbing plague victims- this prevented the thieves from contracting the deadly disease.Oils may seem trendy but there is a lot of history behind them.
4. HOW CAN I USE ESSENTIAL OILS?
There are 3 different ways that you can use Young Living Essential Oils.
Topically ( applying to your skin)
Aromatically(diffusing or inhaling/ breathing in)
Internally (ingesting) by swallowing them in food, drink or in a vegetable capsule
Please note- Each Young Living bottle label provides recommended uses, so be sure to read the label carefully! Not all oils are recommended to use internally.
5. WHEN AND HOW OFTEN CAN I USE ESSENTIAL OILS?
You can use essential oils whenever you would like. However, in the beginning, it is best to start slow by introducing one oil at the time so your body can adjust and remove any build up of toxins from your body. It is also best to dilute your essential oil with a carrier oil such as jojoba oil or coconut oil in the beginning. If you are getting any headache or tummy ache, discontinue use, and try again in a smaller amount or with more dilution. When you are diluting your oils you aren’t making them less strong, you are just slowing down the absorption rate of the oils.
