A Beginning Look Into Essential Oils

as shared by Ann Walsh, CranioSacral Therapy Practitioner




Welcome!



This is the first in a series of messages where you will learn about therapeutic grade essential oils and their benefits in supporting your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The goal of each message is to share educational information with you.  

Let's begin.....

Essential Oils are aromatic liquids. They are distilled from flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds
of plants. The distillation process is what makes essential oils so concentrated. It often requires an
entire plant or more to produce a single drop of distilled essential oil. For example, it takes thousands
of flower petals to create the drops that are in a single bottle of rose oil, and adding just one drop of
peppermint oil to a glass of water has approximately the same concentration as 20 bags of tea.
The practice of using essential oils is commonly referred to as aromatherapy and is used for physical
and psychological well-being.

Essential Oils have a millennium-long history of use in healing and in religious ceremony throughout
the ancient world. Some, particularly frankincense, are repeatedly cited in many Judeo-Christian and
Muslim religious texts. Others, such as myrrh, lotus, and sandalwood oils were widely used in ancient
Egyptian purification and embalming rituals. Still others, such as clove and lemon, were highly valued
as antiseptics hundreds of years before the discovery of modern antiseptics. In ancient times, oils were
respected for both medicinal and their healing properties.

Mankind's First Medicine

Essential Oils are often referred to as "Mankind's First Medicine." In fact, there are over 200 references to
aromatics, incense, and ointments throughout the Old and New Testaments of the Bible (36 of the 39 books of the Old Testament and 10 of the 27 books of the New Testament mention essential oils or the plants that produce them.)

Here is the personal testimony of a Holistic Medical Professional, who understands the power of Essential Oils.

"These essential oils truly represent the new frontier of medicine." --- Terry Friedmann, M.D., Co-founder of
American Holistic Medical Association.
