What are essential oils – what are they truly?
Plants are exposed to the same viruses that we are; they’ve been here since before man and have managed to survive. They don’t need vaccinations. When they’re exposed to a pathogen, how do they respond? They have a sac within that has essential oil and it has the ability to adapt to respond to a pathogen. The human body likewise has an ability to respond to pathogens. Combine the essential oils with the body’s chemistry and it enhances the body’s ability to heal itself. I want to go into how I use essential oils as part of my lifestyle for so many support areas I start blogging more. I use them for sore muscles, cellulite reduction, energy, detoxification, staying healthy and even cooking. So stay tuned.
