Essential Oils
God's Medicine Cabinet

Essential Oils are the vital fluids of plants or put another way, their "life blood". They are called essential because they are required for the life of the plant.

They contain the "essence" of the plant and their healing power also works on people.

Their value to us is in the benefits they provide in all areas of our lives; physically, mentally, emotionally as well as spiritually.

These oils, mentioned frequently in the Bible, have been around throughout recorded history and have been used by ancient peoples in religious ceremonies, for medicinal purposes, food preparation and of course, aroma therapy.

And God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass,
the plant that yields seed,

and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind,
whose seed is in itself,

on the earth.” And it came to be so.   Genesis 1:11


In our western culture, unfortunately, they were largely forgotten until recently. Even today most people think of essential oils as nice smelling liquid used in perfumes, relaxation and massage parlors or to add flavor to cooking.

We Need to Expand Our Definition

Essential Oils "help regenerate, balance, calm, bring energy and many more functions too numerous to mention" - Daniel Pénoël

Much has happened in our recent past that has been largely overlooked by the general public.

Over the last hundred years oil usage has continued to grow as health scientists began research into the medical and health benefits of various oils.

No longer are they being relegated to small, dark corner stores where the curious may shop for oils like Lavender to make their home smell nice.

In early 1900 the French chemist René-Maurice Gattefossé coined the term "aromathérapie" which French doctor's eventually used to describe medical/surgical procedures and pharmaceutical applications of natural oils.

For this as well as his subsequent research he has become known as the "Father of Aromatherapy".

Surprising Fact

In France oils were once Prescribed and Received Government Backing. The French welfare system paid 90% of the cost and complimentary insurance would pay the other 10%.  Dr Daniel Pénoël

During WW1, René-Maurice Gattefossé used various oils such as Lavender, Thyme, Lemon and Clove for their antiseptic properties in the treatment of soldiers in military hospitals.

Over the past several decades much research has been done and has been recognized in universities all over the world.

In fact there have been thousands of research papers and articles posted in respected, peer-reviewed journals involving essential oils and their effect on our health.

Why do Essential Oils Heal?

"The way to health is to have an aromatic bath and scented massage every day"  Hippocrates

Essential oils are considered to be mankind's first medicines and 5,000+ year old Egyptian hieroglyphics attest to their incredible healing power.

Essential oils are composed of very small molecules (less than 500 atomic mass units) In fact they are so tiny that they can easily pass through cell walls and reach every part of your body. Try putting a few drops of peppermint oil on the soles of your feet and you will probably taste it within minutes.

When inhaled, an essential oil enters the blood stream via your lungs and can be delivered to all parts of your body. They even have the ability to pass through the "blood-brain barrier" and enter your brain.

According to the American Medical Association (AMA), if they could find an agent able to pass through the "blood-brain barrier", they would discover cures for many serious diseases/ailments such as Alzheimers, Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis and Lou Gehrig's.

Of course we already know of agents that are small enough to pass through the "blood-brain barrier". They are called ESSENTIAL OILS.

Dangers of Aromatherapy vs Conventional Drugs

According to Kurt Schnaubelt in his book Medical Aromatherapy:

"The potential hazards of essential oil use are limited and easy to keep in mind. These hazards should be seen as only moderate dangers - with only a minimum of common sense, the hazards can easily be avoided .......

This is in stark contrast to conventional drugs, which usually have noticeable side effects and seem safe but nonetheless lead to the deaths of roughly a hundred thousand people annually."

Given that essential oils have been used extensively for thousands of years, have had great success with very few harmful side effects, perhaps we should give them some credit and look to them for solutions to our health issues. 

Having said that, I would like to invite you to explore my Essential Oil Remedy website.

To start you off I suggest you first go to my "List of Essential Oils" page or, if you are suffering from some health condition, my "List of Problems" page. 

In any case, I hope you gain some valuable information from my site.

Good Luck & Good Health,
