ESSENTIAL OILS One of the things that we “preppers” and “survivalists” talk a lot about is WTSHTF…which means: When The Sh*t Hits The Fan. Or in other words when a huge disaster hits and we find ourselves having to live a much more primitive lifestyle. When this happens one of the things that we will not have readily available may be medicine…prescription and OTC. Therefore, we will need to rely on more natural means of healing. One of the natural methods that I love, now or in a disaster, is essential oils. I will be posting from time to time on different uses for specific oils along with some general information. My choice brand of essential oils, because in my estimation they are the purest is: “doTERRA”. If you want to learn more about essential oils, please feel free to go my niece’s website and check out the vast amount of information there. Her website is: www.mydoterra.com/essentiallykimberly. In the meantime here is some general information about essential oils and doTERRA. Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. They can be both beautifully and powerfully fragrant. If you have ever enjoyed the gift of a rose, a walk by a field of lavender, or the smell of fresh cut mint, you have experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils. In addition to giving plants their distinctive smells, essential oils provide plants with protection against predators and disease and play a role in plant pollination. Essential oils are non water-based phytochemicals made up of volatile organic compounds. Although they are fat soluble, they do not include fatty lipids or acids found in vegetable and animal oils. Essential oils are very clean, almost crisp, to the touch and are immediately absorbed by the skin. Pure, unadulterated essential oils are translucent and range in color from crystal clear to deep blue. In addition to their intrinsic benefits to plants and being beautifully fragrant to people, essential oils have been used throughout history in many cultures for their medicinal and therapeutic benefits. Modern scientific study and trends towards more holistic approaches to wellness are driving a revival and new discovery of essential oil health applications. dōTERRA (CPTG) Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils represent the safest, purest, and most beneficial essential oils available today. They are gently and skillfully distilled from plants that have been patiently harvested at the perfect moment by experienced growers from around the world for ideal extract composition and efficacy. Experienced essential oil users will immediately recognize dōTERRA's superior quality standard for naturally safe, purely effective therapeutic-grade essential oils
