What are Essential Oils & Why are they Good for your Health?
What Essential Oils Can Do For You:
Essential oils are anti-inflammatory All of our bodies are in some state of inflammation somewhere at all times. And where there is inflammation, there is PAIN and sometimes infection. Help manage that inflammation, help control pain and infection. Simple!
Essential oils are anti-bacterial and anti-viral Not only can they kill bacteria on the outside of our cells, essential oils can actually penetrate our cell walls (antibiotics cannot) and eliminate viruses, as well. Many oils can also cross the blood-brain barrier, which most synthetics cannot. (Research has proven in published study that OnGuard essential oil blend can actually STOP the replication of the flu virus.)
Essential oils are mood elevating Everyone knows the power of aroma. Whenever I smell freshly baked cookies or bread, it transports my mind back to my grandma’s house. Christmas always smells of pine and cinnamon. I’m sure we’ve all experienced this in some degree. Mind and body are interconnected and smell is one of the most powerful connectors through the amygdala in our brain. So it only makes sense that the powerful aromatic properties could help with anxiety, depression and stress.
