"Besides their antiseptic and bactericidal properties widely used today ... essential oils possess anti-toxic and antiviral properties, have a powerful vitalizing action, and undeniable healing power and extensive therapeutic properties.”
~ Gattefosse, French Chemist, "Father of Aromatherapy"
Although the name implies that scent is the main concept of aromatherapy, it is only a fraction of what essential oils offer (and a portion of the benefits of aromatherapy). Their properties vary from being anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, antiseptic, antiviral, anti-fungal, antibacterial and the list goes on! Unlike antibiotics, essential oils are able to penetrate the cell and are effective against BOTH bacteria and viruses.
Unfortunately, new age thinkers have sabotaged the beauty of natural healing for some people by attaching eastern philosophies. But the believer knows that Scripture writes of using herbs, leaves and flowers for our medicinal needs (Ezekiel 47:12) which is what essential oils are composed of.
I have always loved essential oils though it was only for their alluring aromas (interestingly enough, I did use them in my home birth many moons ago). After being introduced to the potent doTERRA oils, I have developed a deeper intrigue for them. They can be used in all facets of our home life and I am inspired on a whole new level!
