Essential oils
There are about 200 different
types of essential oils. You can see a small description of all the oils
that we sell by clicking to the right. Some are more common than others
because they are more economical and effective. You can read a deeper
description of the common oils by clicking to the left.
The essential oils are produced
from all the parts of the plants that have medicinal attributes. As we
already know humanity is connected to nature because we have to oxygenate
and nutrify ourselves with the ingredients of nature. Our body is composed
of the same material that we find in the earth and in plants.
Each part of the plant has
a specific function. And the oil completes the function for the plant
the same as it does for us. For example, the leaves help the plant breath,
so the oil extracted can help our lungs oxygenate our bodies better. Plants
are divided into five parts, and each one of these have different characteristics:
- The flower: Is the most
superior part of the plant and thus has an effect on the imagination
for art and poetry.
- The seeds and fruit: Because
we eat seeds and fruit, they can give us the nutrients we need for our
bodies, and also give us joy.
- Leaves and twiggs: Have
many different effects.
- Trees, aromatic wood, and
resins: Because they are large and old, they are good for meditation,
respiration, giving wisdom, and healing.
- The root: Because it comes
from the earth, it is good for grounding, calming, and feeling sure
and safe.
The
magic of essential oils
Because we live so disconnected
from the rest of the world, we forget that our bodies and minds are
still part of the earth. We don't have to process everything too much
with chemicles to maintain our mental and physical health, which in
the long run hurt our stomachs, teeth, etc. We can use the chemicals
that God gave us with the plants that have been our medicine from
the beginning of time.
Putting the aroma of essential
oils in a room provokes a natural and powerful environment that connects
us to the natural world.
The
power of our olfactory sense
The olfactory sense is
the oldest sense, which was developed millions of years ago. It is
the only sense that is directly connected to our brain by way of more
than 70,000 neurons. This is how so many primordial emotions can be
communicated through this sense.
