Essential oils are intelligent. They are able to cross the blood-brain barrier and reach every cell in your body within twenty minutes! This means that when you use an oil, it can help your body with issues you aren't even aware of.
Essential oils an help keep a balanced mood, spirit, and dispel negative emotions. Oils contain sequiterpines (ses-quit-er-peens), which help oxygenate the brain, partivularly around the pituitary and pineal gland, which regulate our "feel-good hormones". This is why aromatherapy is loved by everyone.
Essential oils are cost effective. A 5ml bottle contains approximately 85-100 drops and a 15ml bottle contains 250-300 drops. Typically, we only use a few drops at a time.
Essential oils are powerful. When plants are dried for tea or supplements, 95-97% of the essential oil is lost along with the plant's ability keep us healthy.
All of these qualities are found in pure therapeutic grade essential oils, but unfortunately, not all oils on the market are therapeutic grade.
