I've been guilty. In the education process of learning about essential oils, I have discovered that essential oils are NOT medications...MEANING... I should not be taking essential oils JUST to relieve a symptom! ok... Im still sort of guilty with that..I mean yes, ache here, cramp there...where is my deep relief?! HOWEVER, I get it... the MAIN purpose of essential oils in my life and my families life is .... wait for it.... so our bodies do what they are supposed to do ( to STAY Healthy). This is different then why I started with essential oils in the first place! My son needed help...and Essential oils delivered...yet, so much more. And thats ok! It helped him short term...however...It was not only a quick fix to his wellness...it was a immune system megabomb!!! Just what he needed for LONG TERM TOO!!!!
THAT was my aha moment...so
What does medication do?
What do Essential oils do?
Medication is temporary and we don’t want to have to use it
for an extended period of time. It is not working on healing.... So we should not look at essential oils as the same as medication...and tell people they can fix every symptom known to man with a drop of essential oil...because honestly
we know that essential oils support the body but each person is unique with the specifics. I do know that essential oils will ALWAYS help and support but it is not as easy as me saying take this for that…and Ill just tick you off if I tell you what worked for me and it doesnt work exactly like that for you.. I much rather tell you how to support your nervous system or your immune system! That is how I stay compliant as a Young living Essential Oil educator!
Think about it...
Think about it...
Using essential oils to squash a symptom… Are we supposed to squash a symptom? Why are they happening? My foot,
pain, deep relief but hmmmmm why why why ...address the why! Yes there are people who say, Oh I tried that oil, it didnt work... They gave up on essential oils because they were thinking it was going to be the same thing! Essential oils are a different process!
Essential oils assists the body
to create what it is supposed to do ..only better…it is not replacing function. They complement body systems. They do not replace function or artificially replace function. This is hugely important! Medications artifically do things for the body...
Essential oils boost immunity which help the body ...they are not going to do things for the body.
Example…blood pressure-
meds = designed to artificially
change the body without the bodies permission…
Sometimes it is necessary, like in an emergency! However always keep in mind, Since it is not getting the bodies
permission it is driving a change that
the body cannot regulate! What could be the FUNCTION that needs support for normal blood pressure? Supporting the lymphatic system? Supporting the nervous system? Look at the core... how do we help our bodies at the core support what our body needs... so that we need LESS/No medication.
There are times when there is a place for medication! But not as often as we are doing it!
The medication does not assist to help the body do anything
better…its doing the work artificially for your body. So take it away and the body still has the issues!
What is a side effect of essential oil= increase of function even if the symptoms don’t
go away right away ( health of the body
will go up because you are decreasing the stress on the body)
Deep relief-
symptom Putting it on the area
that has the sumptom and getting mad that it doesn’t go away instantly. Sometimes it does...sometimes it can take 4 – 6 months to allow to make a difference…meds
designed to make a quick change… Essential oils work with the body, with your bodies permission to make long term ( along with short term) changes...positive changes!
quick note-
If you are on medication stay on your medication while starting essential oils! Give your body time to do what it needs to do. Essential oils help your body function to the best it can...and continues to support all its systems to improve health...working together with your body.
