So, WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS? Essential oils are the aromatic compounds that come from plants. Below is a picture of a peppermint leaf when it is magnified. That little white sac is the oil. We get the oil by steam distillation. For citrus oils, the oil is cold pressed and comes from the rind, not the juice. Plants have their own immune system, which basically comes from the essential oil. So if this keeps plants healthy and strong, why won’t it do it for our bodies? We are both natural, living things in nature and we operate a lot alike. Essential oils have the power to help our bodies heal itself from illness, lift moods, relieve pain and MUCH more!
Why Essential Oils:
1. They help minimize the symptoms, addresses root causes.
2. Essential oil are made from hundreds of natural compounds found in plants that enhance physical and emotional health
3. EO’s have safe benefits without harmful side effects.
4. EO’s are pennies per dose, can reduce doctor’s visits, no co-pay
5. They are 50-70 times more powerful than herbs
6. Inhibit the growth of harmful pathogens.
7. They are the plant’s own natural medicine cabinet
LONG LIFE: Another thing that I love knowing is that my oils will last for decades…(however, you’ll want to use your citrus oils in 5 years–as if you could make a bottle last that long). This aspect of essential oils makes the investment an even better choice! Think about how many meds you’ve thrown away because they’re expired. This won’t happen with essential oils. Also, what a great product for emergency preparedness!
WHICH ESSENTIAL OILS? Not all Essential Oils are created the same. Some are harvested too early. Some contain synthetics and fillers. Some are not tested to make sure they are pure. Potency starts with the plant itself. The same species of plant when grown in different environments will vary in chemical composition.When looking at Essential Oils look for a company that does the following:
1. They source from plants grown and harvested in their natural habitat which means their therapeutic value is maximized.
2. They partner with farmers and gatherers, cutting out the middle man who exploits them, and thereby have direct control over the quality. This ensures that the oils are harvested at the right time (not early) and processed in the best way. Farmers love working directly with their company.
3. They go into the communities of these farmers and where needed, builds schools, wells for water, and medical facilities.
4. 80% of their oils are sourced from these partnerships and they have exclusive rights in distribution. Nobody else can source from their sources.
5. Their essential oils are 100% pure (companies can put 10% EO’s in a bottle and call it 100% pure. The rest is fillers, synthetics, and cheaper substitutes.)
6. They have each liter of oil undergo multiple 6 or more third party laboratory tests to ensure our oils are pure, genuine, authentic, and potent.
7.They have standards meaning their oils are beyond organic, verified pure, free of fillers, pesticides and foreign contaminants.
8. They have a humanitarian division that adopts cities to help them get out of poverty conditions, partners with organizations to do micro-lending, and other organizations who help families throughout the world. Their consultants contribute to this fund regularly.
9. They have owners who are first class people that do business with integrity and make decisions to improve the world. Their goal is to lift people through using their essential oils and products as well as helping their consultants succeed financially so they can contribute more to the world and also provide humanitarian services throughout the world.
10. I found a company that meets all these conditions. I love and trust this company and know I am safe using these products to bless my family, others, and myself.
With this company’s essential oils you can rest assured that they are safe for everyone; babies, pregnant women and even to take internally. Isn’t it great to know that we have something safe that we can trust to give to our loved ones? Not only does that make our oils safe to use, it makes them more effective. 1-2 drops of oil per application is all it takes to get results!
