What You Need To Know About Essential Oils

Have you wondered about essential oils and whether or not they work or live up to all the hype on the internet? Essential oils are not a marketing scheme, and when you purchase the right kind and include it in your everyday routine, essential oils have the power to impact your overall health and wellness for the better.

When most people think of essential oils, what tends to come to mind first is aromatherapy. Aromatherapy uses essential oils – oils that are extracted from stems, seeds, bark and flowers of plants. Oils are designed to work in harmony with the body. Some of the more popular aromatherapies used are known for stimulating calmness and reducing stress. There are three ways to use essential oils: aromatically, topically, and internally.

Know that all essential oils are not created equal. The purity of an essential oil is its most important thing to consider. An essential oil that isn’t pure means you run the risk of putting harsh chemicals onto or into your body. Essential oils are extracted from plants in natural ways. They may be distilled with steam and/or water, or mechanically pressed. Always know what you are buying, most essential oils are made with chemicals and processes that are not pure – those are not considered true essential oils. While they may be cheaper options you can find online or in drug stores, know that you get what you pay for as the old adage says.

Because we can both ingest and inhale essential oils, they must be free of petrochemicals and synthetics. Purchasing the wrong essential oil would be like adding pesticides and fertilizers on your skin or in your body. “If you are going to be using essential oils for the treatment of illness, or taking them internally, you want something that is in its purest form,” says Susanne Cesana Wellness Advocate with doTERRA Essential Oils. “There are a variety of oils online and at discount stores, which include other man made additives.”
