20 Health Benefits of Essential Oils
1. AFFECT EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING: The aroma of therapeutic oils triggers physiological and psychological responses: lift moods, aid in reducing “the lows”, increase alertness, calm anxiousness, and clears memory -lavender, orange, bergamot, rose, jasmine; JOY and PEACE & CALMING blends
2. SUPPORT IMMUNE FUNCTION: Some therapeutic essential oil constituents mimic human immunoglobulin, elevate lymphocytes and stimulate our natural immune system -German chamomile, clove, mountain savory, lemon; IMMUPOWER, THIEVES blends
3. SUPPLY POTENT ANTIMICROBIALS: Research supports that therapeutic oils are highly effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, and even the “superbug” (methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus~MRSA).
