Introduction and Benefits of Essential Oils

In the last few weeks I have been learning a lot about essential oils.  After much research I have decided to get a few oils to use for emergency and routine health needs.  I don't typically use medications but rather use various forms of homeopathy, however there are definitely some areas where we could benefit from some essential oils.

Here are the oils I decided to buy. I purchased a kit so I could try several at a time at a lower overall cost.  In the past I have tried oils from health food stores etc. but I have since learned that not all oils are made the same.  Many contain other oils and fillers, as a product only needs to have 10% essential oils in the bottle to then label it as an essential oil.  I wanted to try some that were a pure therapeutic grade.
Essential oils have been around since 4000 BC and were used in Egypt.  As many of you already know, I do have a faith in Christ and love that even essential oils are mentioned several times in the bible.  I also love the fact that oils are made from the plants God created.  Frankincense has become one of my favourites simply because I love the idea that Jesus and I have smelled the same oil ;)
I think the most amazing thing I learned has to do with our bodies electrical energy.  As we were taught in grade school science, everything in our world vibrates or has a periodic motion which can be measured in Hertz (number of oscillations per second). Our body's range should be between 62-68Hz. When our immune system is compromised (we get sick) our body falls out of normal range.  Every illness/disease has it's own frequency for cancer appears at 42Hz.
Clinical research shows that essential oils have the highest frequency of any natural substance known to man, creating an environment in which disease, bacteria, virus, fungus, etc., cannot live. I believe that the chemistry and frequencies of essential oils have the ability to help man maintain the optimal frequency to the extent that disease cannot exist.
Gary Young of Young Living Essential Oils Essential oils are are amazing for balancing our immune systems and fighting off infections.   Essential oils can protect us by being:

• anti-bacterial
• anti-fungal
• anti-microbial
• anti-parasitic
• anti-cancer
• anti-infectious
• anti-viral
• anti-septic

I have discovered many potential uses for these oils

• Rashes, Sunburns, Cuts, Scrapes, Bug Bites
• Bug Repellent
• Sleep, Mood Elevating, Calming
• Colds/Flus
• Immune support, metabolic support
• Lice
• Upset stomachs (IBS, diarrhea, constipation etc.)
• Sore throats
• Lice
• Anxiety
• Eczema, Acne and other skin irritations
• Ear infections
• Headaches/migraines....
• Cleansing & Detoxing
• Homemade Cleaning Products, Disinfecting (DIY Hand Sanitizer, Febreeze, etc.)

I hope you will continue to learn with me as I hope to post more information while studying and trying out these natural remedies.
