Essential Essential Oils For Your Medicine Cabinet And Purse

Essential oils have many uses.  Several should always be on hand for the unexpected cut, scrape, burn, sore muscles or headache.  They cost less than medication and actually treat the problem and don't just cover it up for a while.  Also, if you use them properly and are not allergic to them, there should not be any negative side effects.

Essential oils have been used for thousands of yeas for their therapeutic and healing properties.  Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils to promote physical and psychological well-being.

Essential oils come from leaves, flowers, stems or roots of plants that are known for their health properties, and have been used for thousands of years.

When diluting oils, usually a 10% dilution is recommended for most people, which is 5 drops of oil per ½ teaspoon.

In addition to the oils mentioned in the last post for fat loss, these four oils are essential to have in your personal medicine cabinet.


4 Oils To Store In Your Personal Medicine Cabinet

1)    Lavender – Lavender helps to heal cuts, burns, scrapes, rashes, and stings.  It reduces anxiety and helps with sleep after a trauma.

2)    Perppermint – Peppermint improves pain in joints and muscles and relieves digestive issues, reduces fevers, clears sinuses, improves asthma and bronchitis, and relieves headaches.

3)    Frankincense – Frankincense is anti-inflammatory, helps heal bruising, reduces scars, boosts immunity and is good for emotional well-being.  There is even research that shows it could help with cancer.

4)    Melaleuca – Melaleuca is antibacterial and antifungal and can be used to prevent and reduce infection.  It is used to clean the air of pathogens and allergens.  Melaleuca oil is very penetrating and soothing.

Other oils you may want to have on hand include:  eucalyptus, oregano and clove.

Store your oils in a cool dark place and they will last you a long time. 

You also must remember that all essential oils are not created equal.  Check the source.  Is it indigenous?  Does the company list where it came from?  Is it harvested responsibly?  One of the most important things to know is how the oil is extracted.  Is it done chemically?  If it is, this leaves residue in your oil.  Only purchase oils that have been properly distilled.  Your essential oils should be 100% pure oil extracted directly from the botanical plant source and guaranteed to contain NO synthetics or impurities.

Beware of  "all-natural" oils.  Water and mineral oil are also "all-natural".  You need to get 100% PURE ESSENTIAL OIL, and ONLY the oil you are purchasing, unless it is an oil blend.

Do not be misled by made-up marketing terms used by some essential oil companies.  “Therapeutic grade”and “certified therapeutic grade” are nothing more than invented terms.  They have no actual certification value.  The testing standards are defined by the very companies who use them.

If you are serious about using essential oils to promote your physical and psychological well-being, do your research.  Compare tests that are done on the oils and most definitely, compare prices.  If you want a price comparison sheet between the three leading essential oil companies, leave your contact information to the right and I will get that out to you ASAP.

Essential oils can be very beneficial if you know how to use them and do your research on the company producing them.  Also, compare prices.  Do not be one of the many who are buying low quality, over-priced oils from the stores, or over-priced oils direct from the manufacturer (over-priced even at wholesale pricing!) 

Purity tested, quality guaranteed, and at a reasonable price is the best way to go!
