​Do you do meditation often?

Have you tried anchoring your practice with essential oils?

Some great ones to grab for are…

✅ The Yoga Collection
✅ Frankincense Oil
✅ Rose Oil

Apply to your chest, down your belly, and in your palms. Then inhale deeply.

Did you know that every oil has a vibrational frequency and can help to raise your vibrational frequency? Check out this chart.

This is a great example of how essential oils can not only be safer, but they can actually pass through cell membranes. Since our body is made up of fat, they absorb very quickly. Water based products can no do that.

More proven science that essential oils are a great, natural alternative for all of us.

Over 1,400 chemicals are used in today's fragrances. According to a 1991 study by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 95 percent of these chemicals are derived from petroleum and some are potentially hazardous. It is so important that we look for natural ingredients. Scenting products with organic essential oils is the safest method.

Here is a list of some of the top known chemical ingredients used in popular fragrances and the research about their toxic effects:

Styrene: National Toxicology Program and the National Academy of Science declared styrene to be an anticipated human carcinogen in 2011.
Phthalates: Studies found that phthalates are endocrine disruptors that can decrease IQ by 6 points in children whose mothers were exposed to them during pregnancy. The use of phthalates have also been linked to sperm damage in studies. Also, phthalates are also considered “obesogens” which means they can suppress the metabolism and contribute to obesity.
Musk ketone: A skin irritant and hormone disruptor.
Benzaldehyde: A known narcotic and lung and eye irritant. It causes nausea, abdominal pain, and kidney damage.
Benzyl Acetate: Known carcinogen, which causes eye and lung irritation as well as coughing.
Benzyl Alcohol: Irritating to the upper respiratory tract. Causes headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, drop in blood pressure, CNS depression, and death in severe cases due to respiratory failure.
Camphor: Can cause dizziness, confusion, nausea, muscle twitching, convulsions.
Ethanol: On EPA Hazardous Waste list. Can cause fatigue, irritate the eyes and upper respiratory tract even in low concentrations. Inhalation of ethanol vapors can have effects similar to those characteristic of ingestion. Causes CNS disorder. 
Ethyl acetate: Can cause eye and respiratory irritation.
Limonene: Known carcinogenic.
Linalool: Can cause respiratory disturbances in animal studies, depression, and central nervous system disorders.
Methylene chloride: This substance has actually been banned by the FDA due to severe toxic effects; however, the ban is not enforced as it still may be found in labels listing “fragrance”. 
Acetone: On EPA, RCRA, CERCLA Hazardous Waste lists. Inhalation can cause dryness of the mouth and throat; dizziness, nausea, incoordination, slurred speech, drowsiness, and, in severe exposures, coma. Acts primarily as a central nervous system (CNS) depressant.

So don't hesitate in ridding your cabinet from all those chemicals. There are so many fragrances to choose from. Contact me today if you need assistance in finding the right scent for you.

Many people will ask, why are you promoting oils? What are the benefits of oils? How does each oil work? Even though some people may view oils as a new trend, history shows that ancient civilizations used plants for things such as aromatherapy, personal care, religious ceremonies, beauty treatments, and food preparation. Why would they not be of use today?
 
A variety of plants cover the Earth in different shapes, sizes, colors, and scents. Many of these plants contain compounds that typically can’t be seen with the naked eye—they hide within the roots, flowers, seeds, bark, or other areas of the plant. These compounds are known as essential oils. They are highly concentrated, making them extremely potent. Also referred to as volatile aromatic compounds, essential oils give a plant its aroma, protect it from harsh environmental conditions and insects, and even play a part in plant pollination.
