Long before modern medicine was around people depended upon plants to heal and care for their bodies. Once the Industrial Age came around those plants were taken apart by scientists and the chemical make up of the plant was separated into key components that were isolated for that one particular property. Synthetic chemicals were then added to give us our modern day pharmaceuticals. The problem is these come with a high price - side effects, cost and dangerous contraindications. Have you ever watched a commercial for a prescription drug medication? The entire commercial is filled with a list of horrible side effects from taking the drug, many include heart problems and even death!
Plants were created by our Father in Heaven to be used in their full form, each chemical component playing a key part in it's ability to heal without side effects. They are very complex and have anywhere from 100-500 different molecules that each play a part in healing and rejuvenation. These molecules are so small they can actually penetrate our cells, acting on free radicals and penetrating to the parts of our brain where no other substances can. They are also easily absorbed through our skin right into the blood stream, organs and body systems. Within 21 minutes of applying, they will penetrate every cell in our body!

Essential oils restore balance to the body, they are powerful antioxidants which fight free radicals that cause disease and cancer. They contain oxygen molecules that are carried throughout the body to feed cells and stimulate the immune system. All essential oils are antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial, antiparasitic, anti-tumoral, antiviral, and antiseptic. A few specific essential oils contain sesquiterpenes that have the ability to cross the blood/brain barrier which help in treating neurological diseases such as ADHD, Alzheimer's, Lou Gehrig's and Parkinson's just to name a few. Essential oils are the only substances that can aid the body in healing on all levels; spiritual, emotional, behavioral and physical.
