2 INTRODUCTION 2 Have you ever wondered about essential oils and whether or not they can benefit your health? Well, today we are going over the top 5 essential oils and how they can support your overall health and wellness. Even though essential oils seem to be popping up everywhere lately, they aren t anything new. In fact, evidence of essential oil use dates back to Egyptian hieroglyphics that were drawn over 5000 years ago. Here are some fun facts about historical use of oils: 400 BC: Hippocrates used essential oils in his treatments 1600 BC 85 AD: The Old and New Testament references to the use of essential oils 1910: Dr. Rene Gattefosse, a French chemist, severely burned his arm and used lavender essential oil, which healed his burn without any scarring. Bottom line, essential oils are ah-ma-zing! Yep, I fell absolutely in love with them ever since my first yoga class when my teacher put lavender essential oil on me in savasana And I promise, it s not all hype. In fact, there is a TON of science and research behind essential oils. So I put together this ebook to help you incorporate essential oils into your life whether that s more education when it comes to essential oils, what kind of essential oils are best, how you can use them, or heck, maybe you re even thinking about starting a business with essential oils. Before we get started, let s cover some of the basics

3 INTRODUCTION 3 What are Essential Oils? Pure essential oils are aromatic compounds that have been pressed or distilled from plants like shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, resins, flowers and seeds. It s also important to note that these extracts are highly concentrated. It can take thousands of pounds of plant material to produce just one pound of essential oil. Before we get into which brands are the most pure, let s talk about how essential oils work How & Why Essential Oils Work The human body is composed of about 100 trillion cells. Essential oils are composed of about 40 million trillion molecules in a single drop. That is 40,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules! How in the heck can 40 million trillion molecules fit into one drop of essential oils? It s simple their molecules are extremely small. The molecules in essential oils are less than 300 Daltons in weight Basically, this means they are able to pass through all of our tissues and directly into our cells. In 20 minutes your entire body will be infiltrated with 40 million trillion molecules by simply putting one drop of peppermint essential oil on the bottom your feet consuming every cell with 400,000 molecules each! How do you use them? There are 3 ways to use essential oils: 1. Aromatically 2. Topically 3. Internally

4 INTRODUCTION 4 1. Aromatically Consuming essential oils aromatically is a method by which single essential oils or blends are inhaled in some way. Most commonly, essential oils are diffused with a diffuser. Not all diffusers are created equal it s best to choose a cold air diffuser that uses ultrasonic vibrations to break the oils into a fine mist, which will remain suspended in the air for hours. When you diffuse an essential oil, it doesn t simply mask odors like many commercially produced chemical air fresheners do; instead they interact with the molecules that our bodies interpret as odors. You can also directly inhale certain essential oils by placing a few drops into the palm of your hands and rubbing your hands together. Cup them over your nose and mouth and inhale deeply. Lastly, if you are suffering from a cold, allergies or congestion, you can use a hot water vapor method (placing a few drops of essential oils in a bowl of hot water and using a towel to drape over your head and the bowl). 2. Topically Applying essential oils to your skin allows them to quickly enter the bloodstream and rapidly circulate throughout your body. Depending on the reason or ailment you are using the essential oil for, you may apply an essential oil to the affected site or you may apply an essential oil to certain pressure/reflexology point. Essential oils are great to add to baths just add 3 6 drops of your favorite essential oils while the water is running. 3. Internally It is VERY important to only consume essential oils that are labeled for internal consumption and be sure they are 100% pure therapeutic grade essential oils with no fillers or chemicals added. 100% pure essential oils are great to add into tea, water or capsules for consumption.

5 Not all essential oils are created equal. INTRODUCTION 45 In fact, it is important to note that there is NO committee or governing body that regulates the quality, purity or claims made by essential oil companies. I ve been using essential oils for years, but it wasn t until recently that I discovered the importance of quality when it comes to choosing the brand of essential oils. What I didn t realize, is that even though an oil can say it s 100% pure, they can still contain synthetic compounds to produce more oil or they can contain chemicals to enhance the scent. In fact, I was a little horrified when I looked at the back of one of the essential oils I had in my cabinet and it said not for external or internal use. My first thought was, well if I m diffusing these oils I m still inhaling them internally but the package says it s not even safe for that!!! A 100% pure essential oil are completely safe to apply topically, and some essential oils are recognized as safe for internal consumption by the FDA. Here s the thing your skin is your largest organ, and I don t know about you, but I want to minimize the amount of toxins I expose my body to. And, I m sure you agree, or else you wouldn t have downloaded this ebook. And that s why it is SO important to make sure the essential oils you are using are 100% pure without anything added. Say it isn't so! 60-80% OF WHAT YOU PUT ON YOUR SKIN ENDS UP IN YOUR BLOOD STREAM. OVER 25,000 PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS CONTAIN PARABENS ACCORDING TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP'S DATABASE THE AVERAGE WOMEN WEARS ABOUT 515 CHEMICALS PER DAY

6 Which Essential Oils are best? INTRODUCTION 46 Sadly, most of the essential oils you can find at the store are not pure essential oils. In fact, the first time I tried a 100% pure therapeutic grade essential oil, I was totally BLOWN AWAY at the difference in quality. That's why I use dōterra their essential oils are the highest quality oils available and are sourced around the globe where the plants grow abundantly and in their natural environment.
