Essential Oil Benefits
There are many essential oil benefits that I can think of... so
many people I know have improved their health by using them.
Each person is different so naturally each person has a different
body chemistry. Therefore the essential oil benefits you receive
may or may not be the same for someone else. One person may have
the same results by using a totally different oil. So there is a
"learning curve" to using essential oils... but it's more a learn-your-own-body
sort of thing.
One reason why essential oils are valuable is because they have
several things in common with human blood. They are accepted
by the body because of these commonalities. They include: compatibility
with human proteins, ability to fight infection and regenerate tissue,
similarity in chemical structure with human cells, similar hormone-like
compounds, and many more.
Essential oils are so tiny they are able to penetrate human cells.
So when a therapeutic-grade essential oil is applied to the skin
it reaches every cell in the body within minutes. Just think of
all the essential oil benefits! Results in minutes!!
Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oils
Support the 11 Major Body Systems
Over the years our bodies are exposed to many factors that are negative.
Our body systems become compromised from illnesses, exposure, and
poor lifestyle choices. These can include: overeating, drinking
alcohol or other unhealthy liquids, eating the wrong types of foods
or not enough good foods, smoking, not consuming enough water, taking
prescription drugs, being around radiation, being exposed to chemicals...
and the list goes on and on...
With all this self-abuse our bodies get worn out and tired.
They may begin showing symptoms that there is a problem. That
is when we really need essential oil benefits! Of course, prevention
is always better... but us humans seem to always have to push it.
If you have something that has been bothering you for a while first
figure out which body system is being affected. Then you can use
oils that support that system to help you.
Remember: Only therapeutic-grade
essential oils
can give therapeutic (REAL) results!
Okay... There are eleven major body systems which work harmoniously
to keep us alive. They are:
- Integumentary System - skin, hair, nails, sense
receptors, sweat glands, oil glands.

brain stem, sensory organs.

Achieving Homeostasis
Essential oils are homeostatic... this means they help maintain a
state of equilibrium within the body. This is due to their complexity.
They are "whole" so they have multiple components which can have multiple
effects on a person's body. Essential oil benefits are practically
guaranteed.
Essential oils do not disturb the body's natural and normal balance.
Pharmaceutical drugs, on the other hand, are synthetic chemicals
designed with one purpose; this can - and often does - disrupt the
body's homeostasis.
Here are some essential oil benefits I have personally received:
- Relaxation & Pain Reduction during Childbirth.
- Beautiful Skin, I look 5 - 10 years younger than I am!!
- Balanced Moods - no more highs and lows! I used NingXia Red.
- We rarely get sick because we use Thieves.
- More Energy, Clarity of Thought, Endurance, and so much more!
You can receive essential oil benefits too. Try some and find
out!
