During the late 1950’s, pharmacology in the United States largely became synthetic. The initial composition of herbs found in parmacopoeia were replaced with artificial substances. Of the frequently used synthetic medications used at present, some critics suggest that 99% are principally compounds that extend illnesses, saying that the gigantic drug industry’s prosperity is invested in illness not healing.

     Essential Oils, like 25% of antibiotics used today, are extracted from natural products like plants, roots, barks, leaves, perfumed herbs, flowers, fruit, and trees. Aromatherapy has been used for centuries, dating as far back as the Egyptians and the Greeks. In medicinal use Essential Oils are extremely concentrated. They must be watered down before using them on the skin, unless the ones bought are a ready-to-use blend. There is the possibility of injury to the skin if the oils are not diluted. Depending upon the oil chosen, they have many uses.

     A research study frequently cited about the efficacy of Essential Oils was conducted at Weber State University. By spraying Essential Oils in confined places in closely administered tests, the study sought to determine Essential Oils success against airborne highly infectious diseases. The findings from the tests indicated that circulating essential oils in a close surrounding, such as your place of residence, may well successfully break down contagious pathogens and simultaneously enhance your resistance. Some practitioners insist that they are more reliable and successful than drugs such as Penicillin and Ampicillin, being highly antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antimicrobial.

     Essential Oils that have been confirmed to be more successful are cinnamon, oregano, thyme, and special blends developed by Young Living Research Lab called ImmuPower, that includes blends of frankincense, oregano, wild tansin, black cumin, clove, hyssop, ravensara, and mountain savory oils. Another special blend of oils also developed by Young Living Research Lab and very successful is Purification, which consists of citronella, lemon grass, and melaleuca oil.

     Because Essential Oils are highly concentrated and explosive, it is important to know how to circulate the oils in your dwelling or workplace. Two of the preferred ways is to put one or a couple of drops on furnace vents or air conditioners, or putting a few drops on a fan housing. The ideal method is using a device called a diffuser. The most universal diffuser includes an air pump, which can be placed on the floor or beneath an end table so it is not visible, an oil well, and a glass nebulizer connected by flexible air tubing. Diffusers can be plugged into a timer for turning it off and on at routine intervals.
