When people hear of essential oils, their first mindset is aromatherapy, room fragrances. I must say sometimes I do feel quite upset when they compare therapeutic grade oils with them. Therapeutic oils are much better! And NOT YOU DO NOT REQUIRE A DIFFUSER!! Therapeutic oils from young living are safe to put on your skin or even ingested into your body. Do you know that they are actually considered as supplement in the US! Just check the labels on the bottles of oil you buy from the stores outside, most of them would for external use only, or do not apply on skin etc and definitely not to be taken!! Below are the 3 models that Young Living adopts, take some time to read.
1) English Model: small amount of eo in a large amount of vegetable oil to massage the body.
2) French Model: prescribes neat (undiluted) topical application and/or ingestion of the pure essential oils.
3) German Model: focuses on inhalation of essential oils. Inhalation exert strong effects on the brain and limbic system.
So which model to use!??????
Inhalation of essential oils might be preferred over topical application, if the goal is to increase growth hormone secretion, promote weight loss, or balance mood and emotions. Sandalwood, peppermint, vetiver, lavender, and white fir oils are effective for inhalation. In other cases, however, topical applications of essential oils would produce better results, particularly in the case of back or muscle injuries or defects. Topically applied, marjoram is excellent for muscles, lemongrass for ligaments and wintergreen for bones. In some cases all three methods are interchangeable and may produce similar benefits.
Some essential oils are high in sesquiterpenes, such as myrrh, sandalwood, cedarwood, vetiver, and melissa can dramatically increase oxygenation and activity in the brain, which may directly improve the functions of many systems of the body.
The ability of essential oils to act on both the mind and the body is what makes them truly unique among natural therapeutic substances.
Caution!
Some people assume that because an essential oil is “100% pure”, it will not burn their skin. This is not true. Some pure essential oils may cause skin irritation if applied undiluted. If you apply sraight oregano oil to the skin of some poeple, it may cause severe redding. Citrus and spice oils like orange and cinnamon may also produce rashes.
