HOT market in the Direct Sales industry.
Would you believe me if I told you that there is so much more to essential oils than you know? It’s true – and here’s why.
Essential oils (EOs) are just like what they’re called – essential oils that come from seeds, flowers, bark, resins, leaves, rinds, and roots. They are considered volatile compounds, which simply means they can easily evaporate at ambient room temperature.
Contrary to occasional belief, EOs do not contain vitamins or minerals. What makes them good for your body is how their naturally occurring chemical constituents interact with your personal body chemistry.
Because of this, your experience of the essential oils you choose to use may, or may not, look different than the experience of others.
Now more than ever before people are turning towards more natural modalities of medicine to heal and to feel good.
Alternative medicines are those that are not taught in traditional medical schools. They are types of healing remedies that stray from mainstream medicine, as we know it today.
Examples of alternative medicines include homeopathy, naturopathy, Reiki, a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.
On the other hand we have plant medicine, or original medicine; essential oils, which are the essence of the plant, seed, bark, flower, resin, leaf, rind, or root.
There is a popular misconception that EOs are the “lifeblood” of the plant, but that would imply that the oils are a necessity for plant life. In fact, the opposite is true.
The essence of the plant is the energetic or vibrational imprint of the plant, which, with proper distillation processes, can be ultra healing for Mind, Body, and Spirit.
Because the oils are made from distilling the essence, or energetic imprint, of the plant, it’s super important that your oils are of made from the best quality plants.
If you wanted to make your own rose water tonic to tone and tighten the skin on your face, you wouldn’t use roses that were wilted or covered in harmful pesticides. 
You would choose the most gorgeous, fragrant, pure and clean roses you could get your hands on. And you would distill them with the utmost care so as to not kill off the amazing natural chemicals of the rose that provides all of the benefits. Am I right?
It’s prudent that you research your oil company thoroughly if you plan to use your oils for healing and cellular repair.
You can buy essential oils just about anywhere – Amazon, local grocery stores, or even directly from alchemists who mix their own blends.
But how do you know that what you are getting is safe to use, or of the highest quality? After all, if you are planning to use your oils therapeutically – whether aromatically, topically, or ingested – don’t you want to be sure that what you are using is safe?
Pure, high grade, top quality oils have an incredible potential to soothe, support, and revive in a totally natural way. Everything from plant quality to distillation processes make a difference in the quality of your oils.
Here are some things to consider when deciding which oils are best for therapeutic use:
