I have a few things to share this day about oils that many do not know and are not being taught by the big companies.
1) Learn, research, about plants as you are learning about oils. Oils come in many forms, depending upon the process; and, oils have properties of the plants. It is very important to learn about the whole plant, and not just a name on a bottle that one person suggests a couple uses for. Learn where the plant grows, what it does, where the oil actually came from (because most oils cannot be grown here in this country, especially in the abundance needed for companies).
2) Research the differences between food grade, diffused, essential and other oil processes. There are great differences and uses. One big difference is the absorption in the body of oils. Please take care in researching this out carefully instead of listening to sellers in companies, who have listened to those above them, and have no clue except what they have been told. In other words, please prove all things in all things. Oils do not absorb well in our systems…this is a fact. Essential oils are even less absorbent in the digestive tract because they are even more concentrated than squeezed oil. The oil ends up in the digestive tract where it has to pass through the stomach and small intestine before it reaches the bloodstream; and from there, the oil molecules which, by now have been chemically altered by the materials they have come into contact with in the stomach and intestine; will reach the liver, pancreas, reproductive organs and eventually be excreted via the kidneys, bladder and large intestine.
There are REASONS we have teas, tinctures, tonics, oils, and more, from one plant tells us much about the creator’s amazing uses of a plant’s components. In the bible, and in solid research of oils best uses, the absorption is the greatest through the skin and air (nose). Essential oils SHOULD NEVER be ingested without complete knowledge of the oil and the plant and careful supervision for very specified things, and even then, it is questionable. This is not my opinion. It is science. Use a tea or use a tincture/concoction, to get peppermint or chamomile, or clove, etc…and USE an oil topically only. The oil will be 90 percent or better absorbed and used by the body topically through the skin, nerves, and even into the bloodstream.
NOTE: Any oil in a supplement/capsule, unless it is food grade (not essential or concentrated), will pretty much be wasted)
NOTE: Please understand there are food grade oils that are squeezed oils and are very good to take internally, for they are not concentrated: oregano, garlic, etc. Use the food grade companies, not the essential oil companies.

Here’s a healthy goal with the added bonus of feeling luxurious: get a monthly massage. Receiving a professional massage is relaxing and has numerous health benefits: It can help manage stress levels, reduce blood pressure and heart rate, ease sore muscles and stiff joints, lower levels of stress hormones, and enhance immune function.
Many types of massages are available at a wide range of prices. Check your local health food store for short-duration neck and shoulder massages (perfect on your lunch break), try out student massages at local massage schools, or book packages of massages to save money.
Massage is a touch therapy that I highly recommend. It can be relaxing and therapeutic for many health conditions including back issues, muscle strains or osteoarthritis. The healing touch of massage can reduce heart rate, blood pressure and stress hormone levels. It can also enhance immune function, boost levels of endorphins and serotonin – the body’s natural painkillers and mood regulators – and increase blood circulation.
Those with anxiety, depression or eating disorders can take advantage of the effects massage has on the mind – massage has proven effective for reducing pain, anxiety, stress, and depression in patients with a wide range of medical problems.
Many forms of massage therapy are available, and it always pays to ask a massage therapist what types of therapy he or she has studied. One that I like is trigger-point therapy (also known as neuromuscular therapy). This technique applies concentrated pressure to so-called trigger points, which are areas of chronic contraction in the muscle that may feel like lumps or knots. They are often painful and can sometimes lead to pain in other parts of the body. Trigger-point therapy applies sufficient pressure to these areas to relax the muscles, and it stretches the surrounding tissue – known as fascia – to help prevent recurrence.
