Essential Oils
Like proper nutrition, a good journal, and exercise, they are just another tool to consider putting in your arsenal. For me, they were my “gateway” to some serious changes in my life. They are the reminder of where I started, offering me a “reset” when life feels overwhelming. Imagine a scent from your past that reminds you of a memory, it could be good or bad. Scents have a unique ability to connect us to memories and feelings.
Essential oils are also a great alternative to many personal and household products that contain less than desirable ingredients.If you aren’t thinking about what you expose yourself to that may disctract systems from functioning as designed, you might be missing the solution to a concern. This is why I loved getting to know the product line with Young Living; choices were easy and I was able to resolve lifelong health concerns. Now, years later, you will still find their products in every room of our house.
Why Essential Oils?
Let’s cut right to the chase here and dispel a few myths:
Essential Oils are extracted from plants through steam distillation.
They are not to be confused with fragrance or fragrance oils.
They smell wonderful, are great if you’ve grown accustomed to avoiding fragrances, and are a welcomed option if you’re tired of smelling nothing.
They are not technically “chemical free” since they are comprised of chemical constituents. Science geek here despises that marketing turn-of-phrase.
The constituents are what make the “magic” happen.
Quality essential oils are naturally “all natural” - just steam extracting oil from plants. However, not every “all natural” product from nature is good, have you met poison ivy?
Just as much as quality matters, quality oils are more concentrated, so safety is equally as important.
They can be overused, which is why it is important to dilute them and start off slow.
Like diet and exercise they are a tool for a healthier lifestyle.
