Why Essential Oils are Essential (Part 2)

What are Pure, Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oils? As we mentioned in last month’s newsletter, essential oils are the volatile liquids that are distilled from plants (including their respective parts such as seeds, bark, leaves, stems, roots, flowers, fruit, etc.). One of the factors that determines the purity and therapeutic value of an oil is its chemical constituents.

These constituents can be affected by a vast number of variables including: the part(s) of the plant from which the oil was produced, soil condition, fertilizer (organic or chemical), geographical region, climate, altitude, harvest season and methods, and distillation process.

As we begin to understand the power of essential oils in the realm of personal, holistic health care, we recognize the absolute necessity for obtaining the purest therapeutic-grade essential oils possible. Chemists can replicate some of the known individual constituents, but they have yet to successfully recreate complete essential oils in the laboratory.

What Benefits do Pure, Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oils Provide? Essential oils embody the regenerating, oxygenating and immune-system strengthening properties of plants. Essential oils are so small in molecular size that they can quickly penetrate the skin. They are lipid-soluble and are capable of penetrating cell walls, even if they have hardened because of oxygen deficiency. In fact, essential oils can affect every cell of the body within 20 minutes and then be metabolized like other nutrients.

Essential oils contain oxygen molecules that help to transport nutrients to the starving human cells. Because a nutritional deficiency is an oxygen deficiency, disease begins when the cells lack the oxygen for proper nutrient assimilation. By providing the needed oxygen, essential oils also work to stimulate the immune system. They can play a vital role in supporting, affecting, and maintaining overall wellness.

Essential oils are aromatic. When diffused, they provide air purification by:

Removing metallic particles and toxins from the air;
Increasing atmospheric oxygen;
Increasing ozone and negative ions in the area, which inhibits bacterial growth;
Destroying odors from mold, cigarettes and animals; and
Filling the air with a fresh, aromatic scent.

Essential oils have a biochemical frequency that is several times greater than the frequency of herbs, food and even the human body. Clinical research has shown that essential oils can quickly raise the frequency of the human body, restoring it to its normal, healthy level. Be sure to check back next quarter as we discuss frequency and how it pertains to essential oils.

Why Essential Oils are Essential

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. They are the oldest form of remedies and cosmetics known to man. At one time they were considered more valuable than gold. There are 188 references to oils in the Bible. Science is only now beginning to investigate the incredible healing properties of 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 frequency. In his book The Body Electric, Dr. Robert O. Becker establishes that the human body has an electrical frequency and that much about a person’s health can be determined by the person’s frequency.

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

According to Dr. Royal R. Rife, every disease has a frequency. He found that certain frequencies can prevent the development of disease and that others would destroy disease. Substances with higher frequency will destroy diseases of lower frequency. The study of frequencies raises an important question about the frequencies of the substances we eat, breathe, and absorb. Many pollutants lower healthy frequency. Processed/canned food has a frequency of ZERO!! The frequency of fresh produce is only 15 MHz, dry herbs from 12 to 22 MHz and fresh herbs from 20 to 27 MHz. Pure essential oils have a very high frequency. Essential oils start at 52 MHz and go as high as 320 MHz, which is the frequency if rose oil.

Benefits of Essential Oils
Essential oils detoxify the body. They strengthen the immune system attacking only the harmful bacteria, allowing our body’s friendly flora to flourish. Essential oils are multi-dimensional, filled with homeostatic intelligence to restore the body to a state of healthy balance.

Essential oil molecules send information to cells and cleanse receptor sites so that they bring your body back to natural function. Oils are balancing to the body. Oils address the causes of disease at a cellular level by deleting misinformation and reprogramming correct information so that cells function properly and in harmony with one another. Because essential oils properly applied always work toward the restoration of proper bodily function, they do not cause undesirable side effects. They are feeding the body with truth.

Like HBOT, Essential Oils Cross the Blood Brain Barrier
Every cell in the body requires oxygen to function as well as survive.

The blood brain barrier is much like a filter. Molecules that are too large cannot pass through it. Its purpose it to protect the brain from invaders and harm. Because of its limiting permeability, it also limits entry to potentially helpful agents such as antibiotics, etc.

Oxygen in the presence of pressure (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy) is not selective; it does not discriminate. It goes everywhere and anywhere in the body and to every cell for healing. Under pressure, oxygen has the unique ability to cross the blood brain barrier even in the absence of appropriate red blood cells (hemogloblin). It is not reliant upon red blood cells for delivery, which may be inefficient and insufficient. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy reduces swelling and helps maintain the integrity of the blood brain barrier. Because the pressure in HBOT shrinks the oxygen to the point of dissolving into the blood, oxygen has the ability to pass through it.

Essential oils are much the same. Molecularly they are small and composed of mixtures of  dozens, even hundreds, of constituents all of which are primarily composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Due to their molecular size, many essential oils are allowed passage across the blood brain barrier.

Although most of the components of essential oils have the power to heal, it is often the lightest chemicals that are able to penetrate first to the cells. Some, like the monoterpenols, carry oxygen, while others such as phenols help improve the functioning of the cells by removing wastes. The monoterpenol essential oils combined with Hyperbaric Oxygen work in a synergistic (the creation of a whole that is greater than the simple sum of its parts) manner to produce increased outcomes.
