What Are Essential Oils

Essential oils are naturally derived from flowers, plants, and herbs.  They've been used since ancient times to remedy and treat all kinds of symptoms and illnesses.  Through the advent of time, essential oils were replaced with synthetic and unnatural chemicals (modern pharmaceuticals).  However, people once again are discovering, appreciating and using essential oils for their natural properties and holistic effects on the body, mind and spirit.

Essential oils are easily absorbed, assimilated and eliminated from the body. In contrast, synthetic chemicals and fragrances are often toxic to the body in that they remain in the body are are not easily eliminated, and can sometimes lead to skin irritations or undesirable side effects.  However, pure essential oils, when used correctly do not have these side effects.

The essence of essential oils are absorbed mainly through the skin and respiratory system.  Essential oils are most effective when  inhaled (for their aromatherapy qualities) and absorbed by the skin (for their theurapeutic healing properties). The molecules of the essential oils are so tiny that they quickly enter the bloodstream and are carried to all part's of the body to release the body's natural healing powers.

For you chemical buffs, the aromatic chemicals found in essential oils are derived from phenylpropane, and these are the precursors of amino acids which link to make the proteins which provide the building blocks for almost everything in the human body. Terpineols are also found in essential oils. These are formed from acetyl-coenzyme A, which plays a crucial rold in the production of vitamins, energy and hormones in humans. (Worwood, Valerie "The Complete Book of Essential Oils & Aromatherapy", New World Library, 1991.)

Hippocrates, the "Father of Modern Medicine" was a great advocate of using essential oils and recommended a daily bath with oils for health and happiness.  By using my products, you can easily gain the benefits of the essential oils and maintain health in your body.

The list below describes the actions and benefits of all of the essential oils which are ingredients in my products.  Also noted are any contraindications of the oils (such as pregnancy).  I'm using the highest quality ingredients (organic, if available) to maintain  a high level product, for your wellness and enjoyment!
