What Are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are the subtle, aromatic and volatile
liquids extracted from the flowers, seeds, leaves, stems, bark and roots
of herbs, bushes, shrubs and trees through distillation. According to ancient
Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts, priests and physicians
were using essential oils thousands of years before Christ to heal the
sick. They are the oldest form of medicine and cosmetic known to man and
were considered more valuable than gold. There are 188 references to oils
in the Bible. The 3 wise men brought to the Christ Child gold, frankincense
and myrrh. Clinical research now shows that frankincense oil contains very
high immune stimulating properties. Science is only now beginning to investigate
the incredible healing substances found in essential oils.
The Properties Of Essential Oils
The effectiveness of essential oils cannot be fully
understood without some discussion of frequency. Frequency is the measurable
rate of electrical energy flow that is constant between any two points.
Everything has a frequency. Dr. Robert O. Becker in his book The Body
Electric establishes that the human body has an electrical frequency
and that much about a person's health can be determined by it's frequency.
In 1992, Bruce Tainio of Tainio Technology, an independent division
of Eastern State University in Cheny, Washington, built the first frequency
monitor in the world. Tainio has determined that the average frequency
of the human body during the daytime is 62-68 Hz. (A healthy body frequency
is 62-72 Hz.) When the frequency drops, the immune system is compromised.
If the frequency drops to 58 Hz, cold and flu symptoms appear, at 55 Hz,
diseases like Candida take hold, at 52 Hz, Epstein Bar and at 42 Hz, Cancer.
According to Dr. Royal R. Rife, every disease has a frequency. He found
that certain frequencies can prevent development of disease and that others
would destroy disease. Substances with higher frequency will destroy diseases
of a lower frequency. The study of frequencies raises important questions
concerning the frequencies of substances we eat, breath and absorb. Many
pollutants lower healthy frequency. Processed/canned foods have a frequency
of zero. Fresh produce has up to 15 Hz, dry herbs from 12 to 22 Hz, and
fresh herbs from 20 to 27 Hz. Essential oils start at 52 Hz and go as high
as 320 Hz, which is the frequency of rose oil. Clinical research shows
that essential oils have the highest frequency of any natural substance
known to man, creating an environment in which disease, bacteria, virus,
fungus, etc., cannot live.
Essential Oils Penetrate
The penetrating characteristic of essential oils greatly enhances their
ability to be effective. Essential oils will penetrate into the body when
applied to the skin. Essential oil placed on the foot will be distributed
to every cell in the body in 21 minutes. They will even penetrate a finger
or toe nail to treat fungus underneath.
Essential Oils Are Aromatic
Essential oils are highly aromatic and therefore many of the benefits
can be obtained by simply inhaling them. This can be done by breathing
in the fragrance from the bottle, or they can be diffused into the room.
Essential oils, when diffused, can be the best air filtration system
in the world. They will:
- Purify, by removing metallic particles and toxins from the air
- Increase atmospheric oxygen
- Increase ozone and negative ions in the house, which inhibits bacterial
growth
- Destroy odors from mold, cigarettes, and animals
- Fill the air with a fresh, herbal aromatic scent
Why Use "Young Living"
Essential Oils?
In order to have therapeutic effects, essential oils must be of the
highest quality. They must be properly processed at low pressure and low
temperature, they must be processed slowly and be free from added chemicals
and solvents.
Most of the oils on the market here in the United States are 4th and
5th quality oils, basically rejects from France. Many were originally produced
for the perfume industry where they are distilled quickly at high pressure
and high temperatures, fracturing the oil molecule and destroying the therapeutic
qualities. Once brought to the United States, they are often cut with propylene
glycol and synthetic constituents like lynelol acetate.
The ancient process of oil distillation is a delicate and precise art
which has been almost forgotten. Science is just now rediscovering these
healing substances that were used in ancient times and beginning to acknowledge
their value. Gary Young is helping to bring history to life as his research
and formulas restore this ancient knowledge to our modern world.
Young Living is committed to producing and selling the finest quality
and the purest oils in the world. Try them for yourself and see.
