The powerful healing and protective qualities of essential oils has
driven millions of people to replace ordinary household products with
essential oils. We have personally had extroadinary results using
essential oils on ourselves and our animals. This section of our
website will help you to understand essential oils and how to purchase
and use them properly. Enjoy!

What is an Essential Oil?
|
An essential oil is an aromatic, volatile liquid that is distilled
from plant parts such as seeds, bushes, flowers, bark, roots, fruit, shrubs,
etc. Essential oils are often visible when a plant is cut or bruised, the resin
oozes out and seals and protects the cut or bruise. Essential oils are protective,
nutritive, vital fluids of the plant, which have the same chemical composition
as human fluids. The electrically alive liquid that is over 70 times stronger
than dried herbs is the "life force" or "blood" of the plant.
Essential
oils are not actually fatty oils, they contain smaller molecules that easily
pass through cell membranes, including the blood/brain barrier. They are
called an "oil" because most of them float on top of water in the distiller,
and most of them do not diffuse in water, but they do not have an oily or
greasy feel.
What are the Benefits of Using Essential Oils?
|
Essential oils contain oxygen molecules that help transport cell nutrients
and are antioxidants that prevent cell mutations. They are also free radical
scavengers. The highest antioxidant source is clove oil at 10,000,000 on the ORAC
scale, whereas blueberries (a known antioxidant) are under 2,000!
Essential oils clean the hormone receptor sites of cells that are left by
petrochemicals and enironmental toxins. They promote emotional, physical, and
spiritual balance. Most of the oils have extroardinary capability to be antiseptic,
anti-tumoral, anti-fungal, antibacterial, antimicrobial, anti-parasitic, antiviral,
and anti-infectious.
Essential oils are made up of amino acids, which are the building block of
every cell. They increase the ozone and negative ions in the air, which inhibits
bacterial growth. They also destroy odors from mold, smoke and pollutants.

Disease cannot exist in an oxygen rich environment. Oxygen is needed for assimilation. Oxygen is the delivery agent which carries the nutrients in the blood. In order for cells to take on nutrients, the nutrients have to be able to pass through the cell wall in order to get to the nucleus where assimilation takes place, The cell wall begins to mutate (harden) with as little as 1% drop in oxygen in the serum around the cell. There are 5 stages of mutation leading to the development of degenerative diseases.
Essential oils are catalysts. They are lipid soluble and can immediately penetrate the cell wall to bring oxygen and nutrients into the cell. Jean Claude Lapraz, MD made the statement that essential oils may have the potential to increase cellular oxygen by 21%. Independent laboratory studies showed that hydrogen peroxide had an oxygen potential to increase by 9.5%. Essential oils carry oxygen, ozone and negative ions. No other other component of a plant comes close!
Through scientific validation, ongoing clinical research and university studies they are emerging as nature's most powerful antioxidants and immune support.
What is "Frequency"?
|
Frequency is a measurable rate of electrical energy that is constant
between any 2 points. It is measured in megahertz, and essential oils range
from 52 to 320 MHz. Frequencies of essential oils have been measured and studied
by Tanio Technologies in Washington with a biofrequency monitor.
Lower frequencies relate to physical form. Middle frequencies relate to
emotional concerns. Higher frequencies relate to spiritual concerns. Human cells
begin to mutate at 62 MHz. Negative thoughts will lower a
frequency by 12 MHz and positive thoughts will raise a frequency by 10 MHz.
Prayer and meditation have shown to raise frequencies by 15 MHz.
|
According to Dr. Royal R. Rife, every disease has a frequency. However, a substance with a higher frequency will destroy a disease of lower frequency. Clinical research shows that essential oils have the highest frequency of any substance known to man, creating an environment in which disease, bacteria, viruses, fungus, etc., cannot live.

Another part of this same study measured the frequency reaction of the human body to the introduction of coffee—using two male adults, the first a 26 year old and the second a 24 year old, both were measured at 66 MHz. The first individual held a cup of coffee (without drinking any) and his frequency dropped to 58 MHz in 3 seconds. He then removed the coffee and inhaled an aroma of essential oils. Within 21 seconds, his frequency had returned to 66 MHz. The second individual took a sip of coffee and his frequency dropped to 52 MHz in the same 3 seconds. However, no essential oils were used during the recovery time and it took 3 days for his frequency to return back to the initial 66 MHz.
Human Brain 72-90 MHz. Human Body (day) 62-68 MHz. Cold Symptoms 58 MHz. Flu Symptoms 57 MHz. Canidida 55 MHz. Epstein Barr 52 MHz. Cancer 42 MHz. Death Begins 25 MHz. Processed/Canned food up to 15 MHz. Dry Herbs 12-22 MHz. Fresh Herbs 20-27 MHz. Essential Oils 52-320 MHz.
What is Aromatherapy?
|
|
Aromatherapy is the act of inhaling (or smelling) scents to produce
therapeutic benefits. Your nose, and sense of smell, is an external component
of the brain. Scents go directly to the receptor sites in the olfactory
membrane, which transmits it to the limic brain, including the amygdala, which
stores emotion. This can also activate the hypothalamus, which produces thyroid
and growth hormones.
The nose has 800,000 nerve receptors. That's ten to 100 times more than
sight or hearing!
|
This is why the simple act of inhaling the scent of a therapeutic-grade
essential oil can change the activity and chemistry in your brain. Studies have
shown immeidate physical changes in the brains of adolescents with problems such as ADD,
depression, and more, just from inhaling the scent of essential oils.
The History of Essential Oils
|
The earliest known distillation was performed by Heradotus in 425 BC.
Often, Pharoahs were embalmed in essential oils, and 350 liters in alabaster jars
were found in King Tut's tomb. According to the translation of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts, priests and physicians were using oils thousands of years before the time of Christ. There are 188 references to oils in the Bible. Some precious oils, such as frankincense, myrrh, galbanum, rosemary, hyssop, cassia, cinnamon, and spikenard, were used for anointing and healing of the sick. Biblical prophets recognized the use of essential oils as a protection for their bodies against the ravages of disease. The wise men brought the oils of frankincense and myrrh to the Christ child.
Clinical research now shows that frankincense oil contains very high immune-stimulating properties. The ancient process of oil distillation is a delicate and precise art that has been almost forgotten. Science is just now rediscovering the healing substances of essential oils that were used in ancient times and beginning to acknowledge their value. Young Living Essential Oils is helping to bring history to life through research and essential oil formulations to restore this ancient knowledge to our modern world.
The rediscovery of essential oils was made by Dr. Renee Gattefosse,
a cosmetic chemist. He burnt his arm in 1910 after a lab explosion and he dipped
his arm in one rinse of lavendar essence, which stopped his gas gangrene and
healing began immediately. Dr. Jean Valnet, a close friend of Dr. Gattefosse, used
essential oils in World War I to treat soldiers when his antibiotics ran out.
History richly records the use of organic essential oil as a means to ward-off disease and illness. As modern day "super bugs" have their way with man-made treatments, more and more people are turning to the past to find the answers they seek for health and wellness. As they search, they are finding essential oils to be the one source mankind has faithfully depended on over the millennium.

Caring For Your Essential Oils...
|
In order for the therapeutic properties of your essential oils
to remain potent, the following advice should be followed. Use only glass
bottles to store your oils, preferably dark in color to prevent damage to
the oils caused by UV rays. Keep the bottles tightly capped to prevent
oxidation, and store them in a cool location because high heat will destroy
the enzymes in the oils (similar to what high-temperature distillation does).
More information on how to use your essential oils can be found on
our Essential Oil Articles page.

Leaky Gut Syndrome (Brain Fog) is from degenerated foods, sugars, and salt going to the gut causing fermentation because you don't have the enzymes to digest it. And this fermentation with the high acid is causing perforation in the lining and the gasses are going into the blood and going to the brain and creates ammonia on the brain. Its not that you are loosing your mind thinking your mind isn't as good anymore. The problem is not the ability to remember (as we get older there is much more to remember) but the problem is the ability to recall. People in there 60's saying, "I wish I could remember things like I use to"...in their 50's...in their 40's...in their 30's. NOW the younger people do not have the mental retention time, they do not have the mental accuracy and do not have the mental recall.
We have this problem because of our devitalized foods, de-natured foods, all the additives in foods, the chemical preservatives, flavoring, coloring, spices, sugars and salts going into our bodies. We are acidic people and disease breeds through acidic conditions and its eating through our gut lining; gasses taking all these chemicals to the brain.
And then on top of that, we drink chemical water, we bath in chemical water, eat chemical foods, we breath chemically treated air. If that's not bad enough, we go home and shampoo with chemically treated shampoo. We put chemical toothpaste and mouthwash in our mouths; chemical lotions on our skin, and put on our chemical perfume and chemical deodorants. And wonder why we are a walking time bomb! And wonder why we are prematurely aging and dieing with diseases.
All of that is shutting down the Human Growth Hormone (HGH). The HGH is responsible for immune function for retarding the aging process, maintaining youth vitality and longevity necessary to maintaining beautiful hair, skin and nails, to maintaining proper strength vigor, proper digestion and sexual function. All of those is part of HGH. And we can't have it because of these chemicals shutting it down.
It is important for us to start recognizing this and start changing our life styles—by getting away from chemicals. Start demanding these companies to stop putting chemicals in the products; worst of all, the chemicals in the children and infant products. CNN broadcasted regarding school lunches...the perforation in the gut is from school lunches and fast foods—now in documentation. If we want better immune system, we need to move away from this.
