Cold Remedies

What exactly is a "Therapeutic Grade" Essential Oil? Can Essential Oils really Help?

It’s cold season. I was always freaked out when cold season was around the corner. We are a family on the move and if one of us is down it can be a logistical nightmare.

I just DON’T want to use synthetics (Mucinex, Benadryl, etc) So I had to give these oils a real try.

This is what I found:

Did you know essential oil molecules can reach every tissue, organ, cell and human body-part, whether inhaled, applied topically to the skin or taken orally?

Once absorbed, the molecules of an essential oil can migrate to any and every part of the body. You can verify this, yourself, by having someone apply Peppermint Oil on the soles of your feet and then see how long it takes before the molecules move all the way through your body and reach your mouth where you can taste it on your tongue.  It's totally bizarre, but true!

By their natural frequencies, once absorbed, specific oils will migrate to the body parts or organs and cells that resonate with their own frequencies.

Hence, some oils move toward muscles, joints and bones, while others are attracted to the digestive tract, the lymphatic system, or to the heart and circulatory system. Meanwhile, other molecules may migrate to the liver, the pancreas, the kidneys, the thyroid gland, the reproductive organs, or the nervous system, including the brain.

True therapeutic grade essential oils, properly obtained from nature, also possess a consciousness and intelligence to send their molecules to the places in one’s body that need them and to perform the beneficial actions required to bring a person back into homeostatic balance, which is a state of bodily and mental health where all systems are functioning in wellness and harmony, without disease or malfunction. 

Antibacterial agents, such as synthetic antibiotics destroy all bacteria, thus robbing our bodies of the good bacteria.

In contrast, essential oils know and recognize the difference between the good and bad bacteria. They protect and nourish the good microbes. 

Also if you use impure and adulterated oils - the cheap stuff - you won’t get the healing results you seek. And it could also be dangerous to apply non-pure “therapeutic grade” essential oils on, in and around your body.

Here are some of my go-tos for cold season that never fail me. All of the Young Living Products are infused with essential oils or are taken directly from plants. But please, take a look yourself, I think you will be very impressed. 

1. Thieves Chest Rub I bought it for Otto, but now we all use it. It works like a charm. I put it on both the soles of the feet and chest. Thieves is a blend that is a powerful combination of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary essential oils that benefits overall wellness and support for a healthy immune system.  The rub clears up our cough and lets everyone sleep through the night

2. Life 9 It’s a probiotic (For Otto I use mighty pro). Gut health is the key to staving off colds. Life 9 is a highly potent probiotic that supports healthy immune function, helps maintain optimal metabolism, and promotes normal intestinal function. With 17 billion live cultures from nine beneficial bacteria strains, one capsule daily will provide the probiotics you need to support your gut health. I can’t say enough about the importance of gut heath to prevent so many illnesses.

3. Super C Chewable Super C Chewable supports normal immune, respiratory, and circulatory function. This formulation includes Orange premium essential oil and a broad range of fruit powders, including camu camu, acerola, cherry, and rose hip. These premium ingredients deliver desirable polyphenols, carotenoids, and optimal amounts of vitamin C to strengthen connective tissue and promote overall health, vitality, and longevity. Because your body cannot manufacture vitamin C, you can benefit by consuming this powerful antioxidant daily. I take A LOT of C!! 

4. Ningxia It’s an incredible antioxidant. If you do nothing else try this! 

This Ruby red cocktail is packed with powerful antioxidants and superfoods, NingXia Red features wolfberry, plum, aronia, cherry, blueberry, and pomegranate juices and extracts to start your day off right. It also contains a blend of premium essential oils, including Orange, Yuzu, Lemon, and Tangerine. These ingredients combine to help prevent oxidative stress, support normal cellular function, and promote healthy energy levels.*

I hope that was helpful, please share what you do.

I’ve created a Cold Remedies Bundle with Young Living that you can find here.
