Do Essential Oils Benefits truly exist, or are Essential Oils just another passing fad?
These 10 Super Weird (But TRUE) Facts about Essential Oils Benefits may hold the answer to this question.
But first, for the uninitiate, what exactly are Essential Oils?
Quick Answer: Essential Oils are the lifeblood of plants that has been carefully extracted (usually) through distillation so their powerful properties can be harnessed by humans.
10 Super Weird Essential Oils Benefits That You Need to Know
#1. Essential Oils Are Super Powerful.
One drop of peppermint essential oil is as powerful as 26 cups of pure peppermint tea. The power of 75 lemons is in one 15ml bottle (250 drops) of high quality, therapeutic grade lemon essential oil. And it takes 27 square feet of lavender fields to make a 15ml bottle of lavender essential oil. This means when you ingest, apply, or inhale an oil, you get an amazing dose of the Essential Oils Benefits.
#2. Essential Oils Consist of Powerful Constituents That Are Scientifically Proven to Enact Change in the Human Body.
Essential Oils are literally the life blood of plants; their most powerful part. Just like your blood clots your cuts, oxygenates your cells, detoxes your body: oils do the same thing for the plant. Oils consist of 100s of different natural organic constituents or compounds like limonene, alpha-pinene, methyl salicylates, sesquiterpenes, and more. These substances are hard to pronounce, but scientifically proven to enact positive change in the human body. They are the movers and shakers in the plants that photosynthesize, work through trauma, energize — and they can do similar things for humans. In addition, they can support every single system in your body: from bones to brains, heart, liver, skin, immune system, respiratory system, digestive system, hormones, healthy weight, and more.
#3. Molecularly, Essential Oils Can Penetrate the Skin Faster than Any Modern Medicine.
Essential Oils are smaller than our cells — and even smaller than viruses. Because of their size, Essential Oils can penetrate the skin faster than any modern medicine on the planet. They can affect every cell in the body in 20 minutes. And the body can metabolize an Essential Oil just like any other nutrient. When inhaled, Essential Oils have been tested to reach the heart, liver, and thyroid within 3 seconds. Topically, it takes about 26 seconds to get into the bloodstream after applying an Essential Oil to your skin.
#4. Essential Oils Benefits Have Been Known for Millenia.
Ancient Egyptians, who used essential oils for beauty and embalming, were using them well before the Pharaohs came on the scene. In addition, The Egyptians have the oldest recorded deodorant recipe made with Essential Oils. The Ebers Papyrus, one of the oldest known medical documents, dating back to 1500 BC, mentions both frankincense and myrrh as having medicinal properties. Essential Oils have worked their magic through history, are working wonders in the present, and more Essential Oils Benefits will be discovered as science continues to unveil their amazing properties.
#5. Each Essential Oil Has Its Own Unique, Measurable Frequency Ranging from 46 to 580 MHz.
Frequency is a measurable rate of electrical energy that is constant between any 2 points. Every healthy organ in your body has it’s own specific frequency – and when you’re experiencing disease, fatigue, and illness, these frequencies drop at recordable levels. When your body maintains the proper frequency levels, your organs and immune system function better. When 2 frequencies come together, they can harmonize or even out the frequency waves, improving that living thing’s function. Processed, dead food, has a frequency of 0 MHz. Imagine what that can do to your body. Young Living’s most popular Essential Oils have these frequencies: Peppermint measures 78 MHz; Lavender measures 118 MHz; Frankincense 147 MHz; Rose measures in at 320 MHz; and Idaho Blue Spruce tops the charts at 580 MHz. Smelling a high frequency oil can raise the frequency in your body after consuming dead or acidic food!
#6. Essential Oils Have Religious Worship Benefits.
The Bible records an ancient blend of anointing oil and perfume that was only to be used in worship. The anointing oil was made with myrrh, cinnamon, cassia, and olive oil. The perfume consisted of stacte, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense in equal parts. Those who duplicated this latter recipe for secular use were cut off from their people. In addition, Jesus Himself used essential oils: Magi gave Him gifts of frankincense and myrrh when they worshipped the New Born King; Mary anointed Jesus with pure nard; and Nicodemus provided cinnamon, aloes, and myrrh for his burial.
#7. Each Essential Oil Has a Unique Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) Value.
An ORAC value quantifies the total antioxidant capacity of a substance. The higher the value, the higher its antioxidant capacities. Young Living’s Ylang Ylang Essential Oil has an ORAC value of 130,000 μTE/100g; Myrrh Essential Oil has an ORAC of 379,800 μTE/100g; and Clove Oil: 1,078,700 μTE/100g. In comparison, raw onions have an ORAC of 863 μTE/100g. Raw blueberries have an ORAC of 4,669 μTE/100g. ORAC value demonstrates there are more Essential Oils Benefits available to mankind than most people realize.
#8. Essential Oils Can Replace Almost Every Toxic Chemical Cleaner in Your Home Without Breaking The Bank.
The powerful properties in essential oils can cut through grease, remove sticky stuff, deodorize, and successfully clean the surfaces in your home — while providing a pleasing, immune-building aroma — and NO CHEMICAL YUCK! Citrus oils can even eat through plastic. Be careful to store your cleaning oils in glass bottles — and if diffusing citrus oils, use a medical grade plastic diffuser like Young Living’s Ultra Sonic Desert Mist Diffuser. Essential Oils are an affordable alternative to toxic cleaners in your home.
#9. There Are Three Schools of Thought on How You Can Benefit from Essential Oils.
The British believe topical application with diluted oils provides the greatest benefit; the French prefer applying oils undiluted and even ingesting and cooking with them; the Germans prefer to diffuse or inhale the oils, which may be the most beneficial method because the oils don’t have to pass through the digestive system. Within 3 seconds of inhalation, scientists have identified the beneficial constituents of Essential Oils in the body.
#10. You Can Have A Beneficial Emotional Response To An Essential Oil Simply By Smelling It.
You can have an emotional response to an Essential Oil before your brain can even process the reason why. Your olfactory system is directly connected to your limbic system, which controls your emotions, memories, and behavior. This is one reason essential oils are so powerful. Young Living’s Cedarwood, for example, is super high in sesquiterpenes, which can stimulate the limbic system of the brain and effect change in your mood and help you to relax.
#11. [Bonus Essential Oils Benefits] Essential Oils Are Actually Safer than Selfies
UK Telegraph reports 127 people died from Selfies in a two year period worldwide. Essential Oil deaths during that same 2-year period: zero. And essential oils and selfies are safer than FDA approved prescription drugs which claimed the lives over 200,000 people in that same time period, according to Harvard.edu. [1]
#12. [Bonus Essential Oils Benefits] Not All Essential Oils Are Created Equal
Several times I have referenced Young Living Essential Oils Benefits. Young Living is the leader in Essential Oil distillation and high quality essential oil production. In order to label an Essential Oil therapeutic grade, it only needs to consist of 95% pure essential oils. Dr. Axe acknowledges that most Essential Oils on the market are “worthless to your health and often synthetic.” Why? Because they are not processed correctly, diluted to the point of inefficiency, and contain dangerous chemical compounds to produce more oil for less money. Young Living, on the other hand, has set the standard when it comes to certified pure therapeutic grade Essential Oils. Don’t throw your money down the toilet. Only buy the oils that can truly work change in the body.
These amazing facts about essential oils suggest they are not going anywhere. In fact, the scientific data on Essential Oils is growing exponentially. They may well be the future of wellness in America due to their powerful effects on the human body without the detrimental side effects of prescription medication.
