What are Essential Oils?
Essentail oils are the volatile liquids that are distilled from plants. Essential oils are regenerating, oxygenating, and immune defense properties of plants. They contain oxygen molecules which help to transplant nutrients to the starving human cells. Because a nutritional deficiency is an oxygen deficiency, disease begins when the cells lack the oxygen for proper nutrient assimilation. By providing the needed oxygen, essential oils also work to stimulate the immune system. Essential oils are very powerful antioidents. They prevent all mutations, work as free radical scavengers, prevent fungus and prevent oxidation in the cells. Essential oils are antibacterial, anticancer, antifungul, anti-infectious, antimicrobial, antitumor, antiparasitic, antiviral, and antiseptic. Essential oils have been shown to destroy all tested bacteria and viruses while stimultaneously restoringbalance to the body.
Essential oils are aromatic. When diffused, they provide air purification by:
1. Removing metallic particles and toxins from the air.
2. Increasing atmospheric oxygen.
3. Increasing ozone and negative ions in an area, which inhibits bacterial growth.
4. Destroying odors from mold, cigarettes, and animals.
5. Filling the air with a fresh, aromatic scent.
**Essential oils help promote emotional, physical and spiritual healing!!!!!
