What is Aromatherapy??

The use of essential oils is recorded all throughout history. A general definition of aromatherapy is the practice of blending and applying essential oils. There are three types of essential oils: food grade, perfume grade, and medicinal grade oils.

Currently there is a rediscovery of essential oils and herbs for use in promoting heath and pleasure in the United States. Many prefer natural products over the more main stream yet synthetically created products on the market today.

The fact is that true medicinal grade essential oils are pure, versatile and work perfectly with the body, mind and spirit. In this discussion, I will be talking about the use of medicinal grade oils. Medicinal Grade essential oils are those oils that are must pass strict standards for quality and purity. These are the best oils to use because of their maximum therapeutic benefit.

Recent studies from scientists and scholars such as “Biology of the Cells” author Bruce Lipton, MD tell us that each cell in the body has receptors that are attracted to the specific vibrations of certain natural chemicals. Essential oils are derived from plants and have this natural vibration and chemical frequency.

Synthetic based products do not have a natural frequency or vibration. Each cell must create a receptor or “bridge” to connect with and accept these man-made chemicals. This is why some standard pharmaceutical medications may take several doses, hours or days to begin to take effect.

Because essential oils are pure plant energy the body does not have to build specific receptors for the oils. The cells of the body and essential oils are naturally in harmony with one another, and the receptors are already in place.

A simple blood test can be used to prove that pure essential oil products taken into the body through the skin or inhalation enter the bloodstream in as little as 20 minutes! Anyone that has used oils such as lavender or mandarin for stress relief can attest to the speedy effect of the oils on their symptoms.

Essential oils are so pure and natural, that they also leave the body within a matter of hours. Many more traditional remedies may take days, weeks even months to be cleansed from the body through the pancreas, spleen, liver, kidneys and bladder.

Since the cells make different receptors for the synthetic based prescriptions, essential oils do not interfere with their use or effectiveness. In other words, you can continue to use traditional remedies and essential oils at the same time.

In European countries, aromatherapy has been found to be a non-invasive way to promote health and wellness for hundreds of years. Many use essential oils and herbal remedies first, before consulting a medical professional.

Europeans use essential oils together with other practices such as yoga, massage, meditation, proper diet and exercise to promote optimum health and wellness. Americans are beginning to understand what the Europeans already know.

When you use essential oils, many see and feel a noticeable improvement in body, mind and spirit. In some cases, aromatherapy has been found to be helpful in assisting with certain conditions, such as the reduction of pain, balance of hormones, stress reduction and as another way to promote wellness just to name a few.

Balance of Nature and Aroma-Therapeutics suggest that you always consult your doctor, concerning medical issues or other health conditions.

Due to its new found popularity many so called “essential oil products” are popping up everywhere. Unfortunately, some companies have decided to dilute their essential oils with chemical additives or use food grade or perfume grade essential oils that are not grown, harvested or processed for medicinal purposes. As an interested consumer, always read the label and ask questions before you buy. You can trust Balance of Nature to bring you the most pure and natural medicinal-grade essential oil products available.
