We have twenty five on the list but the list can continue, virtually every plant, flower, herb, seeds or nuts have their oil version.  We shall discuss briefly various ways which they benefit our  health.  Here we want to look at the essential oils and what they do for. The purpose is to enable us know which of the oils to use at various times and their alternative where necessary.

When You are Battling Cold or allergy:

It is necessary to state here that most essential oils are so concentrated that merely inhaling them gives result.  A case in point was when my huzy was sneezing continuously and I suggested robbing  a drop or two of mint oil on both palms and inhaling to get relieve, he did and guess what, he got instant relieve but myself lying beside the bed was unconsciously  taking another dose of mint oil inhalation which removed  all pending gas in my stomach out and forced me to go to the kitchen looking for something to munch before retiring finally for the night.   That is the power of essential oils for you.  In view of this I suggest that kids below 1 yr should be taken into consideration when handling these oils to avoid any incidence.  Better still, they are best kept far away from children.  Our discussion on continues in the next post.

Wellness From Outside Through Massage with Essential Oils

Before now, I believed that wellness must begin from within, I believed "You are what you eat". I believed that unless the inside heals, nothing heals, but I was wrong all these while because the more we live, the more we learn, .  There are rare occasions when healing must begin from without, healing must come from without, help must be sought from without.  These are those times when nothing seems to be working, those times when you seem to be fed up with medications and prescription drugs.  If you have had to battle chronic issues like arthritis, headache, insomnia and similar conditions, then you will agree that in some cases, we must seek help from outside, we must stop disturbing the inside and try massage, or inhalation with essential oils.

What are essential oils?

According to essentialoilhaven.com.  "Essential oils are the highly concentrated version of the natural oils in plant". As we age, there is need for us to explore other avenues to natural health such as the use of essential oils.  Essential oils are so concentrated, they are also known as volatile oils.  They are so potent that one drop is enough to offer immeasurable benefits.

What are their uses

Essential oils are very effective in addressing several heal issues, however, it is important to study and know all that we need to know about them before going into the world of these oils.  My experience with these oil both for skin, hair, inhalation and general massage reveals that they are so concentrated and effective that mere inhalation gives result.  They are used in drops in most cases in combination another kitchen or regular oil familiar to you.  Ingesting them should be under supervision or guidance.  Being oil based, there effect lasts for long, even when you wash them off, the effect is still being felt.  The areas they mostly used are:

1.  Skincare
2.  Hair
3.  Body massage
4.  Stabilizes hormones
5.  Effective Immune Support
6.  Helps relax the body and calm sore musles
7. Inhalation
8.  Insecticides
