Plants and humans have an interdependent relationship. In other words, we need them AND they need us! Plants provide us with oxygen WHILE we provide carbon dioxide for them. It’s a beautiful balance! In fact, one wouldn’t exist without the other. Through the use of essential oils, we can harness this synergy to support our overall health and wellness. In my opinion, this is exactly how nature intended for things to be…However, there has been a lack of knowledge surrounding this topic. Could the Pharmaceutical Industry combined with a Trillion Dollar Healthcare Industry have anything to do with this?
you decide for yourself…
I’m surprised we’re not taught about essential oils in school. Why isn’t this information a part of the curriculum? Like I said earlier, could it be possible an INDUSTRY has wanted to profit by keeping us sick NOT well? In reality, we’ve become dollar signs formerly know as patients who’ve become reliable customers accustomed to getting a pill for every silly ailment. In fact, 7 out of 10 Americans are prescribed a prescription drug and we collectively spend 300 billion dollars per year on them. However, pills only suppress pain INSTEAD of targeting the cause to facilitate wellness through preventative measures. The numbers reflect this. This money driven system of pill prescribing has been costly. The United States has the highest healthcare cost while the shortest life expectancy compared to all other developed nations. Oh yeah, and the highest rate of infant mortality! Not okay. This must change…
Dr. Julian Whitaker, M.D. said...“There are over 10 million adverse reactions yearly from FDA-approved over-the-counter and prescription drugs. We are not talking about mild nausea or headaches. Between 60,000 and 140,000 people die each year from adverse drug reactions. Each year, more Americans die after taking prescription drugs than died in the entire Vietnam War. Over half the drugs approved by the FDA since 1976 were later found to be much more toxic than previously thought. Several had to be removed from the market.”
Becoming more aware to realize all the systems in our body are interconnected. This includes our Mind, Body, & Soul. Therefore, it’s important to nourish and balance all three for overall wellness NOT suppress symptoms with pills. Honestly, true healing can only take place with the participation of you on all levels. It’s time to ask ourselves, is there something nature can offer?
getting back to nature…
Essential oils are the life force of the plant. In other words, they run through the veins of the plant MUCH like blood runs through our veins. The constituents extracted from them can help support, regulate, and stabilize every system in our body JUST like they do for the plant. However, not all essential oils are created equal. They must be pure therapeutic-grade oils from plants grown without pesticides. This is important because when a plant is sprayed with pesticides, the oil extracted from that plant now contains that pesticide as well. In other words, this is essentially like using bug killer topically, aromatically, and internally mixed with an essential oil. Probably not the best idea as this could cause adverse side effects…Bottom line, you get what you pay for! The chart below demonstrates the four different oils that are on the market today. However, there are no labeling regulations…
With that being said, my husband and I only use Young Living Essential Oils as they are the leaders of the modern essential oil movement! Literally, the industry pioneers. Beyond their Seed to Seal promise, these oils are backed by decades of research conducted by leading scientist. This unmatched process ensures the highest quality oils offering pure active constituents. The best part, NO PESTICIDES are ever used! These oils truly are AUTHENTIC!
Since using these oils, we’ve experienced some amazing things! These amazing things include better sleep, better air quality, respiratory support, a calm mind, and increased energy just to name a few. It’s been through our own self discovery that nature does have something to offer us! We were designed for Earth and Earth was designed for us. However, we collectively remain in the dark about natures gifts because we’re not told by a doctor, teacher, or scientist…
this program must change…
Health care is our personal responsibility NOT the responsibility of a doctor, health care system, insurance company, or government. At the end of the day, we haven’t heard about the power of essential oils because it’s illegal to patent nature. This means low profits for the medicine industry. This industry cashes in on our collective ignorance by prescribing pills for simple to fix things. This just further hinders the balance of our body. Drugs are toxic. They depress the immune system. They clog cell receptor sites. Most importantly, they deceive our body. On the flip side, essential oils work in harmony with our body. In order to stay within FDA compliance, that’s about all I can say about the power of essential oils.
In conclusion, we have to get more curious by asking more questions versus believing only what we’re told. Essential oils are mentioned over 600 times in the Bible and the Ancient Egyptians were documented as using many plant recipes for healing and spiritual practices. Is this coincidence? In my opinion, I think it’s time to revisit this disconnection from nature. At this point, what do we have to lose?
