History of Essential Oils

Post #3

I'm sure you know Essential oils are nothing new. They have been used throughout history in many cultures for their health-supporting benefits. The Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Europeans, and Chinese have used them for centuries for health, beauty, fragrance, and spiritual practices.

There are also many references to essential oils in historical texts, which signifies their importance in history. They were first mentioned by name in the Bible: Genesis 27, when Joseph was soled to the slave traders. They are mentioned directly or indirectly in Scripture 1100 times!

Remember what the WISE men gave as gifts?? Frankincense and myrrh right! Frankincense is amazing for you. It's great for skin and it also helps support cell regeneration. Which means that it may help you heal faster!

How do YOU use Essential Oils?

2nd Post ~~~~

You do not need to be an aromatherapist to use them! There are three ways to use essential oils. You can use some oils aromatically, some topically, and some can even be taken internally. Tests have shown oils reach the heart, liver, and thyroid in 3 seconds when inhaled; they were found in the bloodstream in 26 seconds when applied topically. Expulsion of essential oils takes 3-6 hours in a normal, healthy body.

 ⇢Aromatically⇠ One of my favorite ways to use essential oils is aromatically. Many of us have had a time where a smell triggers a memory—freshly baked bread, pine needles, or spring flowers can easily take you back to positive times in your life. Essential oils are the same! 1.Place a couple of drops in the palm of your hand. 2.Rub your hands together. 3.Cup your hands over your nose and mouth and inhale deeply. Diffusion is another great way to use essential oils aromatically. By creating a fine aromatic mist, diffusers allow you to create a spa-like atmosphere and enjoy the benefits of essential oils in any environment. Young Living offers a wide variety of diffusers, and when you enroll as a new member, you will receive a diffuser in your Premium Starter Kit.

 ⇢Topically⇠ Essential oils can also be applied to the skin. This is known as topical application. Topical application is a great way to support your skin because essential oils are easy to use and provide quick benefits. If you have never used essential oils, one great area of the body to apply them topically is to the feet. They can be found in the bloodstream in 26 seconds when applied topically.

 ⇢Internally⇠ Some people choose to use essential oils internally by adding them to water or liquid, placing them in a capsule, or taking one of Young Living’s oil-infused products. Peppermint Vitality, for example, can help promote healthy bowel function and support overall digestion when taken internally. In 20 minutes of using an essential oil they will affect every cell in the body!! These oils are labeled as Vitality oils – which are safe for consumption.

So what is an Essential Oil?

I'm going backwards a little. Here is some information that I found extremely helpful

 [1]

This is going to be an ongoing series for a week or more. I hope you find the information as useful as I do!


 So what is an essential oil?

 Essential oils are the most powerful part of the plant. They are the aromatic liquids found within shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, resins, and seeds. Some people like to call essential oils “nature’s living energy” because they contain unique constituents that provide a host of benefits. Plant juice works, too! ;)

 Most essential oils are extracted from plant sources using steam distillation and are highly concentrated, making them far more potent than dried botanicals. Essential oils are volatile, which means that the scent of the oil rises quickly into the air. They are also versatile, with a wide variety of uses. Some people use essential oils to enliven an environment, support different body systems, or just for their great scents.

 In humans, they provide support for EVERY SYSTEM in the body: your skeletal system, your muscular system, circulatory system, your muscular system, circulatory system, endocrine system and your hormones, respiratory system and immune system. They support brain health and healthy weight. They are used extensively for emotions and for spiritual support in your prayer life. An oil in a diffuser can soothe a child’s tough day at school and provide a calming effect when you’ve had a stressful day at work.

 Oils can be used as an alternative to cleaning chemicals in the home. You can literally start swapping out every single chemical cleaning toxin in your home to live a purer lifestyle, and you can do it without breaking the bank!! There are about 300 oils on the earth; but you only need 10-20 to build a good first aid kit. However you choose to use essential oils, chances are someone else has tried that same use in the past. If you still don’t know where to start, rest assured that each essential oil is labeled with instructions for use and our team has lots of resources with ideas and examples of using these!
