What are essential oils?

  Essential oils are the subtle, volatile liquids that are distilled from plants, shrubs, flowers, trees, bushes and seeds. An ancient process, oil distillation is a delicate and precise art that has been almost forgotten. Science is just now re-discovering the incredible healing power of essential oils, which are the life blood of the plant kingdom, and beginning to acknowledge their value.

The Essential Beginning..... (History)

  According to the translation of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts, priests and physicians were using extracted oils from plants for healing thousands of years before Christ. This makes essential oils the earliest known medicine, pre-dating the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by some 6,000 years or more.

  There are numerous references to these oils (or the plant they are derived from) in the Bible. Some precious oils, such as frankincense, myrrh, galbanum, rosemary, hyssop, cassia, cinnamon and spikenard were used for anointing and healing if the sick. There were three wise men who brought gold, frankincense and myrrh to the Christ child. Clinical research now shows that frankincense and myrrh are two of the most powerful immune-stimulating substances available. Perhaps the three wise men were wise in ways beyond our knowledge.

Using Essential Oils....

  Research has shown that with their immune-stimulating properties, essential oils enhance and support the building of the immune system, whether they be inhaled or applied topically to the body.

When diffused in the air of the home, they release oxygenating molecules into the atmosphere where they stay suspended for several hours to destroy and prevent bacteria, fungus, mold, and freshen the air with natural fragrances. When applied to the body by rubbing on the feet, essential oils penetrate the skin and travel (via the bloodstream) throughout the body and affect every cell within 20 minutes.

Lynda's work with essential oils....

  Lynda has been studying and working extensively with essential oils for the past four years. Since being introduced to the oils, she has not had to take any over-the-counter or prescription medications. (she has had one cold in the past four years - a record for sure for someone who deals regularly with the general public!) Not only does Lynda use these oils to keep her physical body running smoothly, she also uses them for emotional releasing. Using only Young Living Essential Oils, blends such as Forgiveness, Acceptance, Release, Harmony and Joy are used in Lynda's energy healing sessions to help the client clear unwanted emotional patterns. At the beginning of every session, Lynda annoints the feet of her client and then periodically throughout the session will hold an oil over the clients nose to inhale the scent. This technique alone has created major shifts in some of Lynda's clients.

Please contact Lynda for more information regarding essential oils - she offers free consultations and essential oil home parties/workshops!
