The benefits of essential oil
Due to so many humanitarian crises, pandemics, diseases and viruses, the world wants to benefit more from what is natural, which is why we are in the "era of what is natural", and of the "healthy lifestyle".
Nowadays, it is more common to see people taking care of their health, their diet and strengthening their immune system; all this to improve your quality of life, and avoid diseases.
Among the most sought after options we find essential oils, and today I want to talk about them.
What are essential oils?
Essential oils are pure extracts obtained from plants, from the most concentrated part of the plant.
Some are extracted from the roots, flowers, seeds, bark or leaf. They are purely natural compounds. It can be said that essential oils are the life of the plant, the vitamin, the pure substance in it, from which living beings, from animals to humans, can benefit.
Use of essential oils
Essential oils have three ways of being used, most can be used internally, others topically, and all aromatically.
To use them internally, it is good to add a drop of the oil that we are going to use to a glass of water, and drink it; also sublingually or through capsules.
It is important to check with a doctor or essential oil wellness consultant which ones can be taken, and which ones cannot. In addition to the amount of daily intake, since they are totally pure and condensed products.
Another way of using essential oils is aromatically, it is something very wonderful, since there are studies that show that the only sense that has a direct connection with the brain is smell, and through this we can send direct messages to our brain.
When an aroma of an essential oil enters the nose, certain nerves are immediately activated, carrying information to the brain and this to the entire bloodstream.
And in a matter of minutes you can see a satisfactory response from essential oils.
For example, peppermint oil is ideal for clearing the respiratory tract and for calming a headache, it gives a sensation of freshness. And we can only achieve this through smell.
If we use essential oils topically, the benefits we will obtain on the skin will be wonderful. In ancient times, the women of the pharaohs, the queens used essential oils, such as frankincense and myrrh to care for their skin.
Topically, the essential oil works by relaxing and loosening the skin; we can use them for massages, circulation, burning fat, skin blemishes, prevention of wrinkles and stretch marks.
And in the signs of pulsation they are used for headaches, migraines, more advanced diseases, fevers, in the ligaments for arthritis, osteoarthritis and many more diseases.
You just have to be careful with hot oils like oregano, cinnamon or thyme.
Also, for hygiene and beauty, a relaxing bath, antiseptic, sunscreen, for burns and skin regeneration.
Topically we can use the oil in specific areas to achieve the effect we leave. And there are even oils that can be used as substitutes for perfumes.
Benefits of essential oils
The first benefit that an essential oil can bring to the human being is to lead him to turn his gaze to find a solution in what is natural, in what is created by God.
On the other hand, essential oils:
They reduce the toxic load of the organism: Many people live addicted to drugs and these generate more problems or collateral damage. With essential oils you can prevent, cure, and improve the quality of life.
They are a natural alternative: They can be used to clean the human body, but also to clean household surfaces.
Emotionally they are also very strong, as they help people who may be going through very serious emotional problems through aromatherapy.
The most used essential oils in homes are:
Lavender
Mint
Oregano
Tea tree
Lemon,
Incense
Rosemary
It is important that before looking for an essential oil you make sure that they have the CPTG certified total purity degree seal, since there are many imitations of essential oils on the market mixed with additives, or chemicals, and this makes them lose their purity.
At home, you can replace your first aid kit with essential oils, for children, adults and pets.
Always remember to know if you are allergic to any component or plant and consult your GP.
