Essential Oils by Young Living

What Are Essential Oils?

Essential oils are the subtle, aromatic and volatile liquids extracted from the flowers, seeds, leaves, stems, bark and roots of herbs, bushes, shrubs and trees through distillation. According to ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts, priests and physicians were using essential oils thousands of years before Christ to heal the sick. They are the oldest form of medicine and cosmetic known to man and were considered more valuable than gold. There are 188 references to oils in the Bible. The 3 wise men brought to the Christ Child gold, frankincense and myrrh. Clinical research now shows that frankincense oil contains very high immune stimulating properties. Science is only now beginning to investigate the incredible healing substances found in essential oils.

The Properties Of Essential Oils

The effectiveness of essential oils cannot be fully understood without some discussion of frequency. Frequency is the measurable rate of electrical energy flow that is constant between any two points. Everything has a frequency. Dr. Robert O. Becker in his book The Body Electric establishes that the human body has an electrical frequency and that much about a person's health can be determined by it's frequency.

In 1992, Bruce Tainio of Tainio Technology, an independent division of Eastern State University in Cheny, Washington, built the first frequency monitor in the world. Tainio has determined that the average frequency of the human body during the daytime is 62-68 Hz. (A healthy body frequency is 62-72 Hz.) When the frequency drops, the immune system is compromised. If the frequency drops to 58 Hz, cold and flu symptoms appear, at 55 Hz, diseases like Candida take hold, at 52 Hz, Epstein Bar and at 42 Hz, Cancer.

According to Dr. Royal R. Rife, every disease has a frequency. He found that certain frequencies can prevent development of disease and that others would destroy disease. Substances with higher frequency will destroy diseases of a lower frequency. The study of frequencies raises important questions concerning the frequencies of substances we eat, breath and absorb. Many pollutants lower healthy frequency. Processed/canned foods have a frequency of zero. Fresh produce has up to 15 Hz, dry herbs from 12 to 22 Hz, and fresh herbs from 20 to 27 Hz. Essential oils start at 52 Hz and go as high as 320 Hz, which is the frequency of rose oil. Clinical research shows that essential oils have the highest frequency of any natural substance known to man, creating an environment in which disease, bacteria, virus, fungus, etc., cannot live.

Essential Oils Penetrate

The penetrating characteristic of essential oils greatly enhances their ability to be effective. Essential oils will penetrate into the body when applied to the skin. Essential oil placed on the foot will be distributed to every cell in the body in 21 minutes. They will even penetrate a finger or toe nail to treat fungus underneath.

Essential Oils Are Aromatic

Essential oils are highly aromatic and therefore many of the benefits can be obtained by simply inhaling them. This can be done by breathing in the fragrance from the bottle, or they can be diffused into the room.

Essential oils, when diffused, can be the best air filtration system in the world. They will:

• Purify, by removing metallic particles and toxins from the air
• Increase atmospheric oxygen
• Increase ozone and negative ions in the house, which inhibits bacterial growth
• Destroy odors from mold, cigarettes, and animals
• Fill the air with a fresh, herbal aromatic scent

Why Use "Young Living" Essential Oils?

In order to have therapeutic effects, essential oils must be of the highest quality. They must be properly processed at low pressure and low temperature, they must be processed slowly and be free from added chemicals and solvents.

Most of the oils on the market here in the United States are 4th and 5th quality oils, basically rejects from France. Many were originally produced for the perfume industry where they are distilled quickly at high pressure and high temperatures, fracturing the oil molecule and destroying the therapeutic qualities. Once brought to the United States, they are often cut with propylene glycol and synthetic constituents like lynelol acetate.

The ancient process of oil distillation is a delicate and precise art which has been almost forgotten. Science is just now rediscovering these healing substances that were used in ancient times and beginning to acknowledge their value. Gary Young is helping to bring history to life as his research and formulas restore this ancient knowledge to our modern world.
