How to Elevate your life with: Essential Oils

/

Essential oils contain the nutritive values and healing properties of plants in a very concentrated form. They often heal the body, mind and spirit, while regenerating damaged tissue and bringing oxygen to deprived cells. The use of essential oils also seems to improve overall immune function. (LaRee Westover, Butterfly Express) Oils are antibacterial, anti fungal, antiviral, antiparisitic and antiseptic.

Oils can heal physically, spiritually, and emotionally.

I believe that oils work in an energetic way, carrying a frequency that our bodies may need to heal. 

To explain, every organ of the human body has a frequency at which it operates when healthy. When we are sick, that frequency drops. Essential oils carry the frequency of the plant that can then raise the body’s overall frequency or stabilize the frequency of the part of your body that is struggling. 

Sometimes, it’s not even a body part. It can be emotional. Sometimes, we are carrying grief, sadness, pain, etc. An oil can provide a healing and higher frequency to help our body and mind adjust and we can feel better.

How to Use Essential Oils

Oils can be used as singles or blends. The oils in blends work together to achieve a product that can reach the various levels of spiritual, physical and emotional healing.  There are a few ways to use oils, aromatically or topically. We will use them in diffusers, in massages, or applied directly to the effected areas. For example, when I have gallbladder pain, I’ll rub the oil over my gallbladder directly or on the gallbladder point in my foot. (That’s going more into foot zoning and reflexology points which we can talk about later.)

Quality Matters!

Many oils and smells can be manufactured by men. We need to be sure the oils we are getting are pure and directly distilled from the plants they advertise. They could also be diluted with vegetable oils. BLEH! My biggest tip is to not buy an oil in a grocery store. Those are more likely perfume or diluted and the quality not great. Because they can sell them in stores, they are able to mass produce and most mass produced products are made cheaply and quickly. Find a company that is transparent, one that shows they care about quality, starting from the seeds-that will eventually grow to the plant the produce the oil from. Look for a company that can guarantee their products. It may mean you will pay a little more, but you know that you are getting the best quality oil for your therapeutic needs.

We have personal favorites but have used companies like Butterfly Express, Young Living and Plant Therapy. 

To learn more:

I highly recommend getting this book:

It is very comprehensive. It will teach you about the oils, how to use, where to use, when to use. It gives the physical, spiritual and emotional benefits of the oils and blends (disclaimer, the blends they share are their own but they do list the ingredients so you can know what’s in them.) You will be able to confidently use oils with your family!

Quick tips:

  • Start small. Don’t go buying all the oils at once. Become confident with a few and then you can expand your “farmacy”.

  • Find a company you like! We like Butterfly Express and Young Living best. Some benefits include free samples/products with every order, subscriptions and credits for future purchases.

  • Make sure you study an oil before you use it. Some have contraindications for pregnancy and with children or for certain health conditions.

I hope this helped you learn a little more and perhaps take the leap to begin using oils with your own family!

Next, we will dive into specific oils and their therapeutic properties.
