First, what exactly are essential oils? Think of them as the life blood of plants. Modern science is backing up the ancient wisdom of distilling the oils from plants for a wide variety of health benefits.  The Three Wise Men of the Bible presented essential oil gifts of frankincense and myrrh to the baby Jesus because their value was highly esteemed in the days of the Roman Empire.

Today we’re breaking essential oils down to their molecular compounds and discovering a wealth of healing power. Take peppermint, for example. Sure, it tastes good in gum and candy, but it is a remarkable multiuse essential oil. Peppermint contains the following chemical constituents: Menthol, Menthone, Terpene oxides, cineole and, coumarins.

Essential oils are special because they not only deliver powerful healing compounds, they also raise the energetic frequency of the individual. Whether inhaled, applied topically, or in some cases, ingested, essential oils lift the body to healthier energy levels.

Peppermint oil is a favorite for its many benefits.

• Aids digestion and relieves nausea: Soothe indigestion with a drop in a glass of water. Feeling nauseous? Rub a couple of drops in your palms and inhale the fumes. Excellent for immediate post-op recovery from anesthesia.
• Muscle relief: Feeling tense? Rub on shoulders or back for a “massage in a bottle.” Can be diluted in a carrier oil.
• Headache: Put a couple of drops on your forehead and temples. (Don’t get too close to the eyes. The fumes can make them water.)
• Swelling (knees, ankles, etc.): Rub on area to release blockages.
