Young living essentials 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. According to ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts, priests and physicians were using essential oils thousands of years ago to heal the sick.
They are the oldest form of medicine and cosmetic known to man and were considered more valuable than gold. Clinical research shows, for instance, that Frankincense oil contains very high immune stimulating properties. Science is only now beginning to investigate the incredible healing substances found in essential oils.
How does this all happen? Scents create an invisible world that constantly surrounds and engulfs us. From the moment we enter this world our mind creates a sensory bank of smells that we come into contact with.
The sense of smell is thousands of times more powerful than any other of our physical senses. Our brain creates connections between smells and what we related to at the time we were introduced to them.
This association process can help determine the
mood or feeling that is stimulated by a specific fragrance. Smells
we collect during our lives, as well as our memories, are stored
in the limbic system of the brain, which is also the repository
of much of our creativity. Thus our subconscious, spurred by subtle
influences such as fragrance, provides a never ending resource of
creative impulses. These impulses can then be stimulated at any
given time through the use of aromatherapy.
Young living essentials oils. Stimulate, relax... energize your body The olfactory influence of the biochemical composition of pure essential oils have been used to stimulate, relax, soothe, calm, rejuvenate or energize the body, the mind and the spirit. Historical documentation illustrates humans using the power of scent for well over 6000 years. Neolithic people used oils and herbs to heal.
The Chinese believed that each oil carries a masculine or feminine (yin/yang) essence that stimulates specific areas of the body into finding a harmony with the mind, thus creating a balance of body, mind and spirit.
The ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Babylon
and Egypt were renown for their use of essential oils. In fact,
legend says that Cleopatra had the sails of her ship soaked in Jasmine
to attract Mark Anthony and then used a special combination of oils
as an aphrodisiac.
