Young Living Essential Oil

What are essential oils?

So you’ve found this site and maybe you have an idea about essential oils, maybe you don’t. Here, we will clarify what exactly we are referring to by “essential oils.”

For starters, we are not just talking about something that smells good (this isn’t an extension of Bath and Body Works!). We aren’t even necessarily just talking about “aromatherapy” and feeling all chilled-out after inhaling something pleasant.

We are talking about what can happen when, by highly regulated distillation processes, the actual lifeblood and essence of a plant is extracted, tested for therapeutic grade constituencies and bottled for human use.

By definition, essential oils are the vital fluids of plants, (if you take your fingernail and scratch it across a leaf, the “juices” that are released are part of those vital fluids). These fluids are necessary for the life of the plant and contain life force, intelligence, and vibrational energy that gives them healing properties that we can harness and use through distillation. Essential oils are composed of tiny molecules that can penetrate every cell, crossing the blood/brain barrier and administer healing therapy at the most fundamental and basic level of our bodies.

Interesting, no?

But here’s the kicker: not all essential oils actually contain therapeutic and healing properties. Many oils found at general health food stores contain additives or chemicals and may contain plant lifeblood to some degree, but they have not been processed in a way to guarantee therapeutic constituencies that can heal. That’s why it is important to know HOW the oil is processed and what claims can be made for using it.
