Someone Touched My Heart Today

Dear Friends,


It Is A Great Amazement, Sometimes, How Life Flows...

Today, I received some interesting email information and it was just what I had been wanting to share. That is how someone touched my heart today. This is such great information for those who desire, value, and enjoy optimal health. Today I share...


SOME HISTORY OF ESSENTIAL OILS
According to the translation of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts, priests and physicians were using essential oils thousands of years before the time of Christ.

They were man’s first medicines.The Egyptians were the first to discover the potential of fragrance. They created various fragrances for use in rituals and ceremonies, and for use as medicines.The ancient art of distillation dates back several thousand years before the time of Christ. In 1922, when King Tutankhamen's tomb was opened, 350 liters of well-preserved oils were found in alabaster jars.There are some 188 references to oils in the Bible. Some precious oils, such as frankincense, myrrh, rosemary, hyssop and spikenard, were used for anointing and healing of the sick. Biblical prophets recognized the use of essential oils as a protection for their bodies against the ravages of disease. The three wise men brought the Oils of Frankincense and Myrrh to the Christ Child. Clinical research now shows that Frankincense Oil contains very high immuno-stimulating properties.

During the Black Plague of the 16th century, a small band of rogues were caught in the act of theft and brought before the king, who forced them to divulge a most curious secret. The thieves were all from a family of apothecaries. They had been entering the homes of plague victims and stripping the dead bodies of anything of value that could be found. Although the plague was highly contagious, not one of these ever contracted the dread disease, even though their thefts had put them in constant daily contact with the dead bodies of their victims. The thieves were familiar with a combination of specific plant oils that, when rubbed over their bodies, would protect them from contracting this feared and deadly plague. The Thieves blend from Young Living was re-created from the documentation of the extraordinary case.

In another example from history, virtually the entire town of Bucklers Bury, England was spared from the plague, even while residents of other towns in close proximity were dying in droves. This fortunate town was the center of European Lavender trade.

This is not a new science. It’s a science and an art form that is being rediscovered in modern times.Europe, Especially France, England, Germany and Switzerland Use Essential Oils in Medical Applications. Hospitals and doctors use them to treat patients.

What are Essential Oils?

Volatile liquids or resins from plants, shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes and seeds. They are what give plants their characteristic odors, as in the fragrance of pine or a rose.Essential oils are literally the life force of the plant. The powerful chemical properties of the plant is what gives it the ability to repair structural damage, destroy infections, ward off infestations, and promote healthy growth. Essential oils and blood are almost identical in function and purpose.--Blood is there to nurture and feed the cells of the body.--Essential oils are there to feed and nurture the cells of the plant.--Both cleanse a cut or tear.--Both fight off harmful microorganisms--Both provide nutrients and oxygen for cell regeneration.

How Therapeutic – Grade Essential Oils transform on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels:

Olfactory: Odor molecules travel to the top of the nasal cavity and fit like puzzle pieces into specific receptor cells on the cilia. The cilia are little bundles of six to eight tiny hairs that extend from each of about 10 million olfactory nerve cells. These millions of nerve cells (that are replaced every twenty-eight days) make up a membrane that is known as the olfactory epithelium. The epithelium serves to transfer electric impulses from the cilia to the olfactory bulb, which it covers. The olfactory bulb, in turn, sends those impulses along to the amygdala (which is responsible for storing and releasing emotional trauma) and further on to the limbic system of the brain. Because the limbic system is directly connected to those parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, and hormone balance, essential oils can have some very profound physiological and psychological effects.

Frequency: What is frequency and how does it pertain to essential oils? Frequency is a measurable rate of electrical energy that is constant between any two points. Everything has an electrical frequency. Bruce Tainio of Tainio Technology in Cheny, Washington, developed new equipment to measure the bio-frequency of humans and foods. The frequencies of essential oils are harmonious with the electrical field of the body. Essential Oils raise the frequency of the body, which allows the body to heal itself. This is known as vibrational medicine.

The benefits of pure therapeutic essential oils:

Essential oils are the regenerating, oxygenating, and immune defense properties of plants.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 walls, even if they have hardened because of an oxygen deficiency. In fact, essential oils can affect every cell of the human body within 20 minutes and are then metabolized like other nutrients.

Essential oils contain oxygen molecules, which help to transport 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 antioxidants. Antioxidants create an unfriendly environment for free radicals. They prevent all mutations, work as free radical scavengers, prevent fungus, and prevent oxidation in the cells.

Essential oils are may help to reduce and eliminate bacteria, fungus, infections, microbes, parasites, viruses and growths. Essential oils have been shown to destroy all tested bacteria and viruses simultaneously restoring balance to the body.

Essential oils may detoxify the cells and blood in the body.Essential oils containing sesquiterpenes have the ability to pass the blood-brain barrier, as was discovered through research in Austria and Germany.Essential oils are aromatic.

When diffused, they provide air purification by:

--Removing metallic particles and toxins from the air.
--Increasing atmospheric oxygen.
--Increasing ozone and negative ions in the area, which inhibit bacterial growth.
--Destroying odors from mold, cigarettes and animals.
--Filling the air with a fresh, aromatic scent.
--Essential oils help promote emotional, physical and spiritual healing.

Essential oils have a bio-electrical frequency that is several times greater than the frequency of herbs, food and even the human body. Clinical research has shown that essential oils can quickly raise the frequency of the human body, restoring it to its normal, healthy level.

Purity and quality--not all essential oils are equal:

97% of essential oils are produced for industrial use.

According to Flora Research, a major international essential oil testing laboratory, many so-called “essential oils” on the market are either synthetic, adulterated or improperly distilled. Jean Valnet, MD, a pioneer in essential oils research, also warned, “Essential oils are often adulterated with alcohol, fixed oils, essential oils of less value and certain synthetic esthers.”

Why?

Because of economics.

Example: Much of the oil sold as lavender is a actually a hybrid called lavendin, which yields more but doesn’t have the same therapeutic properties as true lavender. This hybrid is often cut with synthetic linalol acetate to amplify the fragrance, and then adulterated with propylene glycol, an odorless solvent to expand volume.

What to look for in a pure, therapeutic essential oil:
Organically grown--no pesticides.Soil enriched with enzymes, trace minerals and organic bio-solids.
Steam distilled with low heat and low pressure.
Precise timing for each plant in the distiller (some plants need 24 hours in the distiller; others only need 2 hours (see chart) to get all the constituents out.
Plants harvested at the correct time of day (each plant is unique) to get the fullest properties of the plant.Grow only authentic species, not hybrids.
Use independent testing for quality control.
Every batch of oil at Young Living is independently tested at Flora Research, and sometimes in labs in France and England as well.
Each batch is guaranteed not only for purity, but also for the highest quality to assure therapeutic value.

How to use the oils:

Essential oils are easy to use. You don’t need to be an expert.
Cold diffusing produces a fine aroma mist for inhaling and an air purifier
Apply them “neat” (undiluted) on location.Apply them via Massage.
Apply on the feet. The reflex points on the feet reflect the entire body. All the nerve endings are in the feet.
Baths. It’s recommended to use the bath gel base to help disperse the essential oils into the water.
