Essential oils are the volatile liquids that are distilled from various parts of plants, including seeds, bark, leaves, stems, roots, flowers and fruit. They are highly concentrated and far more potent than dried herbs.

The essential oils of the plant and human blood share several common properties: They fight infection, contain hormone-like compounds and initiate regeneration. Working as the chemical defense mechanism of the plant, essential oils possess potent anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties. They are vital for a plant to grow, live and adapt to its surroundings. Referred to as the essence of the plant, pure essential oils not only protect the plant but also determine its aroma. The molecules of essential oils are also relatively small, giving them the ability to easily penetrate the cells, and some oils have been shown to cross the blood-brain barrier. When topically applied to the feet or elsewhere, essential oils can travel throughout the body in a matter of minutes.

Dating as far back as 4500 B.C., essential oils have been used throughout history, and modern research shows that pure essential oils can provide similar benefits to humans and animals that they give to plants. Scientists today are rediscovering their unique ability to fight infection. Unfortunately, despite the historical record and modern testimonies, claims to the efficacy of any non-FDA approved substance are subject to regulation, and therefore the claims have become increasingly vague to stay within the regulation. The disclaimer on our website is part of that "package."

We are very enthusiastic about the use of essential oils because we’ve seen how incredibly they have worked in our lives and for our family members and close friends. Our desire is to share what we know and have experienced, and to help others as we have been helped.
