Creating healthy habits and homes
My mission is to raise awareness of many healing alternatives by combining the power of essential oils, nutrition and education of all our body systems.
More and more people are seeking “wellness” and there continues to be more evidence that it is based on the daily lifestyle choices we make. We know that toxins in our food and personal care products are harmful and pharmaceutical drugs have lists of unwanted side effects. Yet, we frequently neglect to put attention on our own self care as we push forward in this relentless 24/7 world.
For me, wellness comes from listening to our bodies and responding with holistic alternatives. I know from personal experience the transformation can happen when I have incorporated exercise, chiropractic care, Yoga and essential oils to nurture my physical and emotional well being.
“There is Oil in the House of the Wise”
- Proverbs 21:20
What are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are the life force of a plant. Just as they help the plant grow and recover from illness, so too do they help our bodies heal and defend against illness. By definition, essential oils are the “aromatic, volatile liquid that is within many shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes and seeds that is usually extracted through steam distillation.” Essential OIls Desk Reference
Essential oil use goes back thousands of years being sited in the Bible for healing purposes and recipes written in Egyptian texts. Their unique compounds can kill bacteria, viruses and fungi and heal bites, stings and all sorts of emotional and physical illnesses. Modern science is based on trying to replicate these but has not been completely able to do so. The chemistry of essential oils is very complex and detailed extraction methods produce a very concentrated amount. Most oils on the market are adulterated in some way to extend the quantity or cut corners on the process so you must do your research!
Young Living has been the pioneer in cultivating the plants and improving the distillation process, producing 100% therapeutic grade essential oils. These oils can be ingested, inhaled and applied topically. Research has shown that inhalation reaches the centers of our brain that control many emotional and body functions. Some oils are better applied topically if they are for example, relieving muscle pain. Others have the best effect ingested, such as to relieve digestive discomfort. Some oils are stimulating and some are calming. There is truly an oil for everything! Natures apothecary!
