Transformation With Essential Oils


Years ago while living in Russia, I started learning about the power of essential oils.  I have been using them ever since and continue to grow in my knowledge and personal practice with them.  I am presently taking a course on transforming our health and lives by using essential oils.  I will be sharing what I learn and any interesting information I find.  Please enjoy the journey with me!

Aromatherapy is becoming more well-known and used for different health issues, whether preventive or in treating illnesses.  Many hospitals are using essential oils now for anxiety, depression and infections.  Midwives use essential oils to help with childbirth, and the oils can also have antibacterial or anti-fungal benefits.  Essential oils are used for cuts, scrapes and burns and to help boost the immune system, as well as aiding with insomnia and digestion.  Essential oils are even being used to prevent and fight cancer.  There is quite a bit of research on how frankincense shrinks brain tumors.

(I am in no way treating ailments or disease; I am just passing on information that I am learning.  You should do your own research and discuss it with your health care professional.)

Two of the main ways essential oils are used is topically and aromatically.  According to scientific testing, any substance with a molecular weight below 1000m (m = weight of molecule) should be absorbed by the skin.  Essential oils are very small size and have less chemical weight than 1000m.  This means that essential oils are able to penetrate the skin and pass into the blood stream and go to different areas of the body for internal therapeutic benefits.

When you use aromatherapy, essential oils are absorbed into the bloodstream when inhaled.  Because you have a large amount of blood vessels in your lungs, they absorb the oils and circulate them throughout your body.  Using a diffuser can help you to experience the benefits of the essential oils that you are using.

Here are a few examples of how you can use essential oils in your diffuser to transform your health and well-being.  You can use lavender to reduce stress, melaleuca to cleanse the air, wild orange to improve your mood, frankincense for spiritual enlightenment and peppermint to improve focus and energy.

I look forward to seeing more transformation in my own health as I gain more knowledge of the health benefits of essential oils!  We can always learn more and we should be open to growing in our knowledge, even if we already are quite versed.  I have also found in my own life, it is always good to be reminded of what I already know.
