Essential Oils a Long Forgotten Medicine

When people think of essential oils they think of perfume, they think essential oils are used for baths, massage & relaxation. Some people think it is oily, similar to cooking oil and such, but is that the case? No. Essential Oils are lipid soluble which means they can penetrate the cell membranes. They are the “aromatic” liquid that is within plants. The liquid/oil is the life force of the plant, carrying vital nutrients throughout it that protect it from infections and diseases. An example would be looking at the plants liquid as blood which is it transport mechanism that carries all the vital elements that help keep it alive and well. If you cut yourself, you bleed. If you tear of cut a plant, it “bleeds”. In both those instances, a substance is rushed to the location of injury to help fight off infection, seal the injury, and carry oxygen for repair.  Many don’t realize that pharmacology, as we know it today has roots in plants. Most medicines have an active ingredient that stimulates one or more constituents of a plant. For example, a topical cream for pain, which utilizes the properties of menthol. Menthol is the key constituent in peppermint oil, accounting for up to 44% of the extracted material. The menthol in the products you buy at the pharmacy is almost always chemically reproduced. Further, the cream usually has a petrochemical base.

What this means is that you smell the menthol, your skin gets the same tingly sensation as if it were nature’s menthol, but the effects of your body are not the same as they would be if peppermint oil had been used.

Another more extreme example would be WD-40 on human body parts to lubricate their joints and reduce pain. (Yes this is real you can google it.) It may accomplish the desired outcome but the side effects on the liver are severe. You don’t want to use drugs for relief of one issue when it can create another.

References to the use of essential oils can be traced to Egyptian papyrus manuscripts as far back as 2800 BC. There are many hieroglyphics on the walls of Egyptian temples that depict the use of oils and their recipes. In fact the Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical scroll dated 1550 BC, outlines 877 different prescriptions using essential oils. This is just one of many examples throughout history of ancients using oil for healing, so this is no new age development. You may be wondering, “If people have been using essential oils and aromatics for thousands of years for medicinal purposes, why haven’t I heard of it? First, because essential oils were so revered and valuable, it was usually the very wealthy who had access to them. Second, because of their unavailability, common people turned to plants and dried herbs. It was commonplace for every household to have an herb garden.

If you are old enough, you may remember your grandma having one and making a fresh cup of peppermint tea when you had a stomach ache. However, like baking, preserving and other commonplace activities, western society sped up and very few people today have any kind of garden, and never mind growing herbs. The age old process of handing down life skills and knowledge from one generation to the next has, unfortunately deteriorated.

Finally, advancements in science and the ability to chemically manufacture medicines made it economically advantageous to produce large amounts of products at a fraction on the cost and in a lot less time. This also created the commercial motivation for manufactures and whole industries to actively discredit competitors who offer alternatives, like essential oils. Fortunately, because of a very unfortunate accident involving Rene Gattefosse, Ph.D., a French cosmetic chemist, they were reintroduced in the early 1900s. What happened was Gattefosse was working in a lab when an explosion happened, and his hands were engulfed in flames. After the flames were extinguished he put his hands into a bucket of lavender thinking it was water. Miraculously his hands healed and, being a scientist, he began studying the chemistry of essential oils, later publishing a book in 1937 entitled Aromatherapy. Dr. Gattefosse then shared his work with a medical colleague, Dr. Jean Valnet, from Paris. Valnet served as a doctor in World War II and, when he ran out of antibiotics he began using essential oils on patients with battlefield injuries and had positive results. So you see Essentials are vital for humans nowadays and forever, an age old medicine can never be forgotten for it works. People like me want to spread the word, get it out there to transform peoples lives who are now suffering. Giving them an alternative when nothing else has worked.

The Power of Thoughts

I have come across some amazing life changing gifts lately, and I can't help but share them with you! I want everyone to know what I know and pay it forward. The fact that you are reading this today, tells me you are ready to make the changes and are seeking the changes to create the life you want. I am here to deliver to the best of my knowledge what is helping me to create the life I want.
There are many levels to this but one thing we have to be aware of is just how powerful our minds are and when we work with the laws of the universe, we will get precise results. What am I talking about? First most of us have heard of the law of attraction, that like attracts like but, some of us fail to know another very important law, that's the law of vibration. The Law of vibration might not be as well known as the law of attraction. However,the law of vibration serves as the foundation for the law of attraction.To understand this it is important to know that everything is energy. science, through quantum physics, is showing us that everything in our universe is energy. When we go down on a sub-atomic level we do not find matter, but pure energy. This Universal Law states that everything in the Universe moves and vibrates, everything is vibrating at one speed or another. Nothing rests. Everything you see around you is vibrating at one frequency or another and so are you. However your frequency is different from other things in the universe, hence it seems like you are separated from what you see around you, people, animals, plants, trees and etc. BUT you are not separated, you are in fact living in an ocean of energy, we all are. We are all connected at the lowest level, a level professor John Hagelin calls the unified field. I know this may seem difficult to comprehend at first, but I have posted a video below from my mentor who can give you a little more incite to the matter.

You see how important this is? Many of us don't know where to start or may view this as difficult, but I have discovered one way of many that was easiest for me, and now I'm sharing my secret with you. I have discovered that when i started applying the strongest, purest, therapeutic grade essential oil, that not only works with the human body, and vibrates at a similar frequency, the vibration of the oils vibrate at an higher frequency then the human body! Creating such a unified vibration, that those similar vibrations with be attracted to you! All of these oils have different vibrations, these are very powerful vehicles you can use in conjunction with your thoughts to create the life you want! Before I go any further i must tell you how very important this is not to grab just any oil off the shelves of stores, they are not pure, have no vibrational value what so ever, and can make you down right ill. We don't want or need that. I only trust one company and they have been in business for over 20 years, and continue to grow throughout the whole world because they are dedicated to the highest quality oil possible, they are years beyond this world in developing a divine gift to man, and leading in the industry, may I mention that Bob Proctor himself loves this company;) Where can I get these you ask? Simple. www.tessiemcdowell.com I am happy to answer any further questions you may have too! Remember, you are a vibrational creature full of infinite potential, what you think about will come about, so let it be the life YOU want!
