Aromatherapy is a huge piece of the puzzle in keeping myself and my family healthy. We started on a natural health journey a little over ten years ago when my oldest child was born and we haven’t looked back since. Since then we’ve switched everything in our home to a nontoxic solution and learned about better ways to support our physical and emotional health. It’s now become my passion to help people do the same thing!
Want to know why I love using aromatherapy? Listed below are ways that essential oils work to benefit us…
- they reach each every cell in your body within 20 minutes when applied topically
- help eliminate toxins in your body
- help support the different systems of the body: digestive, nervous, muscular, and more
- promote cellular regeneration
- pass through the blood-brain barrier
- work on emotions via the limbic system of your brain
- promote healthy emotional wellness and relax and clear the mind
- transport nutrients
- powerful antioxidants
- remove toxins in the air
- promote healthy, breathable air
- a great alternative to chemical or toxic fragrances
But you have to be wise with where you get your oils. You won’t get these therapeutic benefits from a generic essential oil found at the supermarket. Those oils are typically adulterated with synthetics and alcohol. As a result they won’t work as effectively as a pure essential oil and you could possibly be putting yourself and your family at risk for toxic exposure. It’s important to do your research not only so you can get results but so you can stay safe!
Being trained as an Herbalist and then becoming internationally certified as an Aromatherapist means that quality is a huge factor for me in deciding what natural products to put on our bodies and to use in our home. Young Living is a brand that I have researched and trust. They go to great lengths to make sure you are getting some of the purest and most effective essential oils out there. Everything from using non GMO seeds to hand weeding their fields so they don’t have to use chemical weed killers ensures a superior product.
