Several years ago I was introduced to Doterra Essential oils. Little did I know how big of an impact they would have on my family; especially our physical pain and emotional well being. I was a little skeptic when I first began using them and my husband was certain I was wasting money but when we started to see the profound impact they had on literally every symptom physically and emotionally we could no longer deny how much we loved them. Many people today do not understand how the oils interact with your body but the science behind how they work is incredible.
Aromatic plants have played an important role in human civilization for thousands of years
They have been part of religion, marriage ceremonies, cosmetics, funeral services, medicine, and many other aspects. They are recognized as the most effective medicines known to mankind. It has only been the past 100 years or so that Western civilization has gone away from using the oils and to taking medicine prescribed by a doctor. Most of these medicines have alarming side effects that lead to other problems and sometimes even death. The pharmaceutical companies keep us sucked in because we have become so helpless, uneducated, and ignorant as a society when it comes to fixing our pains and symptoms.
“Our society has become one who is fixated on wellness. Almost every advertisement these days is one to do with how to improve your health. Wellness can be characterized by not just the absence of disease, but by feeling good and enjoying your life. How you feel physically, mentally, and emotionally determines the state of your overall health and well being. Poor lifestyle habits put people at high risk for virtually every physical and mental illness. The National Institute of Mental Health states that 75-90% of all doctor visits in the U.S. are for stress related ailments and complaints. Sometimes major life events such as divorce, loss of a love one, financial problems, or the birth of a child, can combine with genetic or biologic predispositions to prompt a stress related health crisis. Our culture often encourages a dependence on doctors, drugs, and health care systems to fix and heal these physical and emotional ailments. Modern medicine tends to fixate on diagnosis and treatment, whereas a wellness lifestyle focuses on education, self-awareness, and prevention. Instead of treating the disease, the wellness lifestyle addresses its causes and what lies beneath the disease and its symptoms. Our thoughts, feelings, beliefs,habits, and choices are fueling the fires of inflammation, pain, toxicity, and illness in the body. By addressing the root causes of disease rather than merely treating the symptoms we can assist the body in healing itself.**”
Your body is capable of healing itself naturally!
Most times, it does not need synthetic medications to take over its job, but the right tools that enable it to do what it was engineered to do. The key to wellness is simply learning what serves the body, then restoring to the body what it needs. This will yield lasting healing and continued wellness. Your health and wellness is in your hands and only you have the ability to make the right choices for you. You have the power to live a life of optimal health. I invite you to explore what these essential oils have in store for you.
