So you hear me say time
and time again that these essential oils are working for me. And you are like, Amy you are crazy! Well maybe I am, but hey, why not find out
why they are working for me, right?
If you told someone, hey I have a headache and
they gave you an ibuprofen, would you question them? If you told me that you have a headache and I
said, hey put some peppermint oil on your temples, would you question me???
People have been using
essential oils for thousands of years, so they are nothing new. So long before people were curing headaches
with ibuprofen, they were healing headaches with essential oils. I'm sure they suffered a lot less side
effects to!
Essential oils are the
vital fluid in plants that give them life.
They are made up of very tiny molecules that can make it to every cell
in your body! Just think, 1 drop of oil
contains 40 million-trillion cells (true story bro!), which makes them super
easy for the body to absorb! These
molecules are made up of the compounds phenols, Monoterpenes and Sesquiterpenes.
What Phenols do...
Phenols create conditions
that viruses and bacteria cannot live in.
So think cootie killers! They are
anti-septic & anti-bacterial and also contain antioxidant properties,
pretty cool!
*Clove- 80%
*Basil- 70%
*Oregano- 70%
*Thyme- 48%
*Cinammon- 25%
What Monoterpenes do...
Monoterpenes inhibit the
growth of toxins in the body, and they are likely to detox the kidneys and
liver. They fix the DNA of your
cells! WOW!
*Grapefruit- 92%
*Angelica- 80%
*Frankincense- 77%
*Cypress- 77%
*Galbanum- 75%
*Pine- 60%
* Rose of Sharon- 54%
*Juniper- 54%
*Spruce- 50%
*Myrtle- 37%
*Hyssop- 30%
*Peppermint- 11%
What Sesquiterpepes do...
Sesquiterpenes are
anti-inflammatory and have anti-allergy properties. They delete bad information in cellular
memory (fancy talk!)
*Cedarwood- 98%
*Vetiver- 96%
*Sandalwood- 95%
*Patchouli- 85%
*Ginger- 70%
*Myrr- 60%

I hope this helps make
more sense of the "why essential oils work" for you! Besides just healing the oils can help
brighten your day, enhance your physical wellness, clean and purify your home
(think surface and air!), heal your skin.
So why not try them!!!
