Essential Oils: A Classic Holistic Approach And A delight To The Senses

For millennia people have been using essential oils as a holistic remedy and a full-body method to treat numerous physical and psychological ailments. While essential oils are not regulated by the FDA there is significant evidence showing that they are effective when used appropriately. In designing and creating our essential oil rollers and diffusers we consulted with a doctor who is an essential oil expert to create the perfect mixture of essential oils for your needs; whether it be to heal your mind, body, or soul or simply strengthen all seven of your chakras to restore inner balance.

It is important to use the proper oil to treat the proper ailment to ensure effective treatment and we offer a wide selection so please be sure to check back often or if you are looking for something specific please contact us. We create our products from natural organic sources to ensure that they are both effective and eco-friendly, the oils capture the plant’s scent and flavor, or “essence” resulting in unique aromatic compounds that give each essential oil its characteristic essence to treat your ailment and be a delight to the senses. Essential oils are obtained through distillation (via water) or mechanical methods, such as cold pressing. Once the aromatic chemicals have been extracted from plants with steam and/or water they are combined with a carrier oil for application on the skin, while we designed our rollers and vaporizers to be an effective holistic treatment one possible side effect might include your significant other enjoying how you smell.

The most common use for essential oils is in aromatherapy, which involves inhaling the scent of these oils. However, they should not be swallowed as they can have negative side effects as they are designed strictly for topical or aromatic use and are perfectly safe when used properly. Inhaling the scents from essential oils can stimulate areas of your limbic system, which is a part of your brain that plays integral roles in emotions and memory. The limbic system consists of many parts including smell receptors for processing odors; this may partially explain why familiar smells elicit memories or strong emotional responses. Several unconscious physiological functions, including breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure, are also controlled by the limbic system, as such some people claim that essential oils can have a physical impact on the body, most find them to be soothing, soothing, and indeed therapeutic.

Despite the common belief that essential oils only impact our emotions, several studies have found evidence to suggest they can affect other bodily functions such as breathing and heart rate. For example, one study measured blood pressure in a group of people exposed to lavender oil vapor before completing an anxiety-inducing task when compared with another control group who were not exposed. The results showed those without exposure had higher levels of both systolic (the top number) and diastolic (the bottom number) than those who did get some exposure suggesting there could be physical effects from aromas which goes to further the evidence of their effectiveness as more than a "perfume". Essential oils have a wide range of medicinal and therapeutic properties. They have been shown to have antibacterial, antifungal, and antivirus properties which help to treat conditions such as the common cold, pain relief, headaches/migraines; skin problems (acne); promote sleep; improve digestion and reduce inflammation in joints or muscles. Essential oils can also be used for aromatherapy purposes including relaxation therapies which may contribute to healthy mental health when dealing with mild-moderate depression symptoms as well stress-related issues like anxiety etc.

The benefits of essential oils include psychological (affecting emotions), pharmacological (affecting chemistry), and physiological (affecting bodily function and process). The use of essential oils is most frequently achieved by inhaling them (inhalation) or by applying them topically (topical application). The potency and potential risks of essential oils require that you use them with care. Do not take essential oils internally. Patients who are in an at-risk portion of the population (the elderly, children under twelve years of age, pregnant or nursing mothers, and people with allergies) should consult a physician before use

Essential oils have the potential to aggravate sensitive skin. They should not be applied near the eyes, ears, and mouth areas of the body or on broken/inflamed/irritated skin. To do a patch test for allergies before use, place 1-2 drops under your wrist or elbow and leave it overnight without washing off. If any redness develops in this area after 24 hours then you may want to avoid using these oil extracts until further notice from your doctor.
