How essential oils work.

How Do Essential Oils Work?

As we learn more about vibratory rates of substances, we begin to understand why these oils are so effective in helping your body to become well. Applying an oil of a particular vibratory rate on an individual will raise the vibratory rate of a specific organ or the body upon which it is used.

Diffusing an oil of a particular rate raises the level of oxygen and thus the

energy within a room.

Raising the vibration results in restoring wellness to the body, clarity to the mind, and attunement to the spirit.

Today, with the appearance of new diseases caused by unknown microbes including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites, the use of these oils is appropriate and, possibly, critical to our health. This is particularly important since many of our antibiotics no longer have significant affect against these microbes. This problem is further complicated because many new, virulent strains of old diseases have evolved as a result of the misuse and/or overuse of antibiotics. Oils, were used successfully in ancient times to combat the spread of disease. Furthermore, many of the ancient ailments thought to have disappeared, including the plague, have returned with a vengeance.

The essential oils represent a natural modality to bring about wellness.

Many synthetic drugs, including anti-inflammatory drugs, digestive ailments and gastritis, antihypertensives, diuretics, anti-allergy, cholesterol-lowering agents, and so on, have potentially serious side effects. In addition, because of our toxic environment, our bodies have become so sensitive and overloaded that they are unable in some cases to properly break down and eliminate the chemical residue of these drugs from our bodies.

The essential oils come from plants.

Any portion of the bush, flower, herb, or tree can be used as long as it

produces an oil substance. The stem, flower, branches, leaves, or roots are also utilized, and oils may be derived from tree sap or bark. After the oils are harvested, they are distilled using the specific temperature, pressure, and length of time suitable to each. Extracting the essential oils in this manner conserves their abilities.

The primary characteristics of these oils are

1. as carriers of nutrients for the body and

2. as sources of oxygen for the tissues and organs.

This has tremendous value in stimulating our immune system. It is well known that human tissues require a substantial concentration of oxygen for their health. The oxygen and other nutrients are carried efficiently by the oils assuring good nutrition and, consequently, better health of the body tissues.

How Are Essential Oils Administered?

Oils may be administered in numerous ways.

1. Inhalation is the process most used. As essential oils are inhaled, they

make their way through the nasal passages by way of the nasal mucosa to the receptors of the brain or into the lungs where they are absorbed into the blood stream. One of the most effective ways of delivering the oils for inhalation is through:

2. Diffusion. A diffusor is a mechanical device that breaks up the oil into

tiny particles and distributes them into the air. For the lymphatic,

circulatory, digestive, and urinary or water elimination systems, as well as the nervous and respiratory systems, oils may also be

3. Applied directly to the skin or over an area requiring special

4. Be placed on the skin over specific energy points.

The energy running through the action lines end in various places on the body. One of the major ending points is the soles of the feet. Each organ or body structure is identified on the sole and referred to as a vita flex point. Application of oils or physical stimulation with needles or low

voltage electricity on these points can produce changes in the corresponding organ.

One thing that makes essential oils stand out from other healing modalities is their profound effect on emotions. Below is a wonderful article illustrating this.

Release the Emotion and the Disease Disappears

by David Stewart

When we face a stressful emotional issue that we are unable to handle, our mind saves the memory for us to access at a later time when we are more mature and better able to deal with it. Experiences that result in buried feelings tend to happen more often in our childhoods when we are less able to cope. They may be forgotten, consciously, but they are not lost. Instead they lodge as cellular memories, lurking in our bodies, only to come back to us as teenagers or adults, but now disguised as physical maladies. How does this happen?

Your Body as a Digital Library

Each cell of our body has 6 gigabytes of memory and we have an estimated 100 trillion cells. This provides each and every one of us an almost unlimited capability to store memories of forgotten traumas in our cells. When we face a situation we can't handle, we don't get to avoid it. We can postpone it, but we can't avoid it. Stressful situations are opportunities to learn spiritual lessons we need to learn. So if we don't handle the situation and resolve the feelings now, in present time, our minds do not forget and erase. They just postpone having to deal with the crisis until we are more ready at some future time.

At the instant of the unbearable experience, your emotional (limbic) brain acts as a librarian with your body as the library. Your mind will choose a place to store that memory for future reference. If, say, the chosen place in your bodily library is your pancreas, then that traumatic memory will lodge there and you won't even know such a memory is there, perhaps for years. Eventually you develop hypoglycemia or a pain in your left side, which is your pancreas' way of tapping you on the shoulder to say, "There is an issue here you need to deal with." If we don't understand that the pancreas is attempting to communicate a message to us and we keep misunderstanding and postponing the taking of appropriate action, the hypoglycemia develops into diabetes or the pain just gets more severe. If we still don't understand the message and respond, the condition can get worse and worse until we die.

Diseases as Coded Messages

Most bodily diseases are coded messages from our subconcious minds to remind us that unresolved issues stored in our tissues are seeking to be resolved. They are saying, "Now is the time. Fix it now." You don't need to wonder if you are ready and able to deal with the buried issues at this time or not. Your body's wisdom knows when you are ready and chooses the right time for you. So any time you suffer from any physical condition, chronic or acute, ask yourself what happened in the past, perhaps even the distant past, that is the root cause and then attempt to decode the message and take action to resolve it.

It takes a lot of honest introspection, prayer, and inner spiritual effort to succeed, but it is what we have to do. An emotional issue resolved is a spiritual lesson learned. When the emotional root of a physical condition has been resolved, the physical condition will disappear because it was only a message, a message no longer needed. It may not disappear overnight, it may take time, but it will disappear and, sometimes, literally overnight.

The rewards for engaging in daily efforts to clear our emotional baggage are many. Our physical disabilities can disappear. Our happiness level increases and a sense of peace comes over us. We feel closer to God and a greater sense of security. We become more stable, more focused, and a more pleasant person to be around. Working on our emotional health is one of the most rewarding things we can do for ourselves and for everyone around us.

I recently was witness to a near-instant healing from an emotional release that dramatically demonstrated - When the underlying emotion is cleared, the overlying malady disappears.

I was doing a free public program on emotional release with essential oils. Before we began I noticed a lady seated beyond the back row with her legs propped on a chair.I told her that she wouldn't be able to see or hear very well and to move closer to the front. She replied that her legs and feet were severely swollen and she had to keep them up on a chair in order to sit through the program without too much discomfort. She did not know anything about essential oils and had come out of curiosity.

When I was talking about how certain physical conditions correspond to certain emotions, I asked the audience to name some physical problems that I could look up in one of the books I had on hand. The lady in the back raised her hand and asked me to look up edema or swelling in the lower limbs. I found that this is symbolic of hanging onto things you need to let go of. She nodded in agreement with that finding.

Later, I called for a volunteer to be the receiver of a facilitated emotional release to be done on a massage table. Since many raised their hands as willing volunteers, we took names and drew one from a hat and the name of the woman with edema was drawn.

We went through the emotional releasing protocol as a teaching demonstration and used a number of oils. Oils were applied to her feet, neck, and head while she was given oils to apply to her abdomen and heart. After the preparatory stage, releasing stage and concluding grounding stage, all of which took only about 30 minutes, she was ready to sit up. She commented that she had let go of a lot of stuff. She was given a bottle of water to drink and the program was concluded.

My Edema is No More!

That evening while I was lecturing, the lady with swollen legs and feet walked in. "Dr. Stewart, she said, "Look at my shoes. They are brand new but I have not been able to wear them for months because of the swelling. But look, my edema is no more!" she exclaimed. "Within an hour after the treatment, my edema completely disappeared. I can wear my new shoes again."

It was quite visible that her extemities were no longer swollen and her face appeared years younger. She was now able to sit comfortably in a chair for the two-and-a-half hour evening program without needing to prop her legs up. This is a good illustration of the dictum: "When emotions are resolved, the corresponding body condition disappears because it was only a message which is now understood, acted upon, and is no longer necessary."
