Life Goals 101
When everything in you is aching for time out but you cannot give in, what do you do? Some are blessed with that ability to slip into spiritual connection with God empowering them to rise above the circumstances, but others find that approach more problematic. Many cultures have known for centuries that essential oils, derived from an almost infinite variety of plants and trees, can have powerful effects; when it comes to impacting that part of ourselves which is not exactly tangible and does not respond so readily to pills, they play an important role.
Four Reasons to Use Essential Oils:
As modernization accelerates, a common faith shift from looking to “food as our medicine” [1] in a good creation to belief that technology is the end all answer to everything is evident. In some ways dramatic health improvements are notable as a result, yet other less wholesome trends are also clear.
We don’t always think of essential oils as food, but some of them can even have a beneficial place in our daily diet. The same ones or others can make routine cleaning less toxic or help to create a special atmosphere . . . think of the smell of a fresh Christmas tree, cinnamon rolls just out of the oven, or hot buttered popcorn and you get the idea. The oils produce those magical fragrances that touch our emotions and alter mood in an instant.
It goes without saying that “happy” and “healthy” are often two sides of the same story. Individual choices make significant differences when it comes to personal health outcomes, but learning how to make the best decisions is a lifelong journey. Learning about the essential oils is a great way to have fun along the road to taking hold of that responsibility and gaining the understanding needed to make the best choices.
On a less personal note, fusion between old and new is increasingly taking hold and the essential oils are once again in the limelight.
Integrative medicine and functional medicine are different yet in many ways similar [2] modern approaches which often draw on the best from both worlds and essential oils are becoming a focus of increasing interest along with them. Studies at the Mayo Clinic [3] reveal that not just patients but also staff benefit in surprising ways from the use of these timeless treasures. The role played by our emotions in both maintenance and recovery becomes increasingly clear when using essential oils to seek better results for sleep, pain management and a growing variety of other supportive measures.
In short, if you haven’t yet discovered the world of essential oils, this is an ally you won't want to miss.
