Essential Oils


Essential oils are the optimal way to use "food" to heal our bodies.  I began my interest in holistic medicine about 5 years ago and have since gained a wealth of knowledge (I've still got lots more to learn).  My parents (all three of them) taught me about taking care of my body and not to be dependent on medicine. Basically using common sense to understand that I can control the health of my body; however, there is a place for modern technology and science in the medical field and am ever grateful for doctors and their work.

What my parents didn't have was the science behind our bodies and how much our thoughts (emotions) as well as our actions have an effect on our body.  Every thought we have in our brain has a physical or chemical make-up in our body.  Our thoughts or emotions produce a chemical which spurs many other reactions in our body such as hormones and have an effect on every function of our body from digestion to disease.  

My first introduction to holistic medicine was with herbs that you would grow or purchase and dry to put in a pol trice, tea, directly onto wounds or consume whole.  Essential oils is the simplified and intensified version of herbs.  SO EXCITING. For example one drop of peppermint oil is equal in potency to 13 or so cups of tea. So this food for healing!  Like my kids say, "Oil me up".

Lemon oil is great to add to your ice water.  Don't worry about keeping lemons around, when you can just add a drop when you need it.  Its great for your liver and blood! And as we all know citrus is very uplifting.  Its also a great cleaner-keeps things bright and shiny!
