What are the Benefits of Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils?
• Essential oils are so small in molecular size that they can quickly penetrate the tissues of the skin.
• Essential oils are lipid soluble and are capable of penetrating cell membranes, even if the membranes have hardened because of an oxygen deficiency. According to Jean Valnet, M.D., essential oils can effect every cell of the body within 20 minutes and are then metabolized like other nutrients
• Essential oils contain oxygen molecules which help to transport nutrients to starving human cells. Because a nutritional deficiency is an oxygen deficiency, disease begins when cells lack the oxygen for proper nutrient assimilation. By providing the needed oxygen, essential oils also work to enhance the immune system.
• Essential oils are very powerful antioxidants that create an unfriendly environment for damaging free radicals. They may prevent mutations, fungus, and oxidation in cells, and work as free-radical scavengers.
• Essential oils are antibacterial, anti-cancerous, anti-fungal, anti-infectious, anti-microbial, anti-tumoral, anti-parasitic, anti-viral, and antiseptic. Some essential oils have been shown to destroy all tested bacteria and viruses while simultaneously restoring physiological balance to the body.
• Essential oils containing sesquiterpenes have the ability to pass the blood-brain barrier.
• Essential oils promote emotional, physical, and spiritual well being.*
• Therapeutic Oils have some very unique properties. Essential Oils are not greasy or heavy; they are of a water consistency, and usually evaporate within hours, if placed on a cotton ball.
