ESSENTIAL OILS TO HEAL
Essential oils have been used throughout the ages. From physical ailments to emotional imbalances, plant medicine has the capacity to aid in the process of healing like no other. Its uses are boundless; benefits unparalleled.
Living natural is not limited. You can use essential oils for cleaning, cooking, with pets, weight loss, intimacy, kids, and so much more.
Did you know, 75-90% of all doctor visits in the US are for stress-related issues. We often neglect to acknowledge that significant life events can impact our health and wellbeing in impossible ways. Divorce, the loss of a loved one, the pain of struggling to get pregnant, you name it- it’s all tied together. Mind, body, soul are one.
There are a lot of cards that play an equal hand in determining whether you thrive in these areas or not. Inadequate sleep, lack of physical activity, excess drugs/alcohol, poor nutrition habits- especially POOR NUTRITION HABITS- can all take their toll. When this is combined with a physical predisposition within the body we can find ourselves amidst a true health crisis. Sadly for a long time, our culture conditioned us to reach for prescriptions regardless of the diagnosis- often doing more harm than good to the body internally, long term.
This difference with a holistic approach to healing is that the focus is on getting to the root cause of the issue not whatever random and bizarre symptoms that are popping to the surface because of it. This means becoming educated on what our body truly needs to succeed inside and out. Creating lifestyle habits that ensure you feel and look better, longer. It is reclaiming the self-awareness that has always existed within. Aligning your thoughts, feelings, words, and actions. Often all of these choices are what’s fueling the fire of pain, inflammation, toxicity, and illness within. We must learn to help the body heal itself, by itself. It was engineered to function correctly- that is what it has always wanted to do. It is our responsibility to support the body in the process.
Most of why using essential oils are so remarkable is because of the versatility and adaptogenic properties of each oil. You might take a drop of lemon internally because you need a boost in energy without having realized that it will simultaneously be cleansing your lymphatic system. What’s even better is that we can delay or prevent illness from taking over. Now, trust me when I say that despite their power, essential oils aren’t a miracle. They aren’t a “cure-all.” They work in conjunction with all of the lifestyle habits I mentioned earlier. You can’t expect to eat like crap, work like a dog, get 3 hours of sleep with a crying baby, and down a bottle of lavender in the hopes that you’ll instantly feel stress-free. Don’t get me wrong- it’ll help. But you must do your part too.
I also recognize the significance of traditional medicine and why/when it is necessary. There is a time and a place for everything. It is critical that these modalities work in conjunction with one another. This is how we can best love and support the whole you, not just part of you.
Implementing oils into your daily needs is essential for a vibrant life. You already have (and have always had) all the tools you could ever need to be your best self. Tune in and become the master of your fate, the captain of your soul.
