Research Shows the Effectiveness of Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oils
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Preliminary research at Brigham Young University recently found that the minimum inhibitory concentration of therapeutic-grade essential oils of Melissa and Turkish Oregano is extremely high. This means that it takes very little essential oil to accomplish a lot - and that the essential oil is highly effective.
In fact, research published by The Journal of the American Pharmaceutical Association states that the vapors of 133 essential oils were screened in vitro for antibacterial activity against six test organisms that commonly infect respiratory systems: Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus fecalis, Salmonella typhosa, and Mycobacterium avium. Results show that the essential oils of thyme, cinnamon, origanum (oregano) produced the largest zones of inhibition on all test organisms.
And, the University of Georgia reports that of 50 plant essential oils examined by Deans and Richie (1987), thyme oil was the most inhibitory against 25 genera of bacteria. In addition, it was found that Eugenol, a major constituent of clove oil, possesses significant antimicrobial activity. Farabood et. al. reported that a rosemary spice extract substantially inhibited the growth of S. typhimurium and Staph. Aureus.
Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D states:
"I expect that essential oils may someday prove a vital weapon in the fight against strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Lavender, thyme and tea-tree oils have been used for centuries as antiseptics; their chemical compounds appear to kill microbes on contact."
"Aromatherapy Offers Intriguing Possibilities" from
Dr. Andrew Weil's Self-Healing, Oct, l996, Watertown, MA.
Essential oils also work with the body to promote natural healing by stimulating and reinforcing the body's own mechanisms.
"Essential oils include muscle relaxants, digestive tonics, circulatory stimulants, and hormone precursors. Many repair injured cells; others carry away metabolic waste. In addition, a number of essential oils enhance immunity, working with the body to heal itself. They are capable of stimulating the production of phagocytes (white blood cells that attack invaders). And some are anti-toxic. Many essential oils have been proven effective against fungi and yeast, parasites and viruses. Others fight infection with amazing effectiveness, killing bacteria by disrupting their life cycle. And unlike conventional antibiotic drugs, essential oils are "probiotic": they kill pathogenic bacteria, but tend to leave beneficial bacteria intact because of cellular communication... Finally, bacteria typically do not acquire resistance to essential oils, as they so often do to antibiotic drugs."
Safe, Natural, and Free of Side-Effects
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Therapeutic-grade essential oils benefit your respiratory system and your entire body in many ways by enhancing the natural functions of your body. That is because, unlike drugs, essential oils do not kill off the beneficial and necessary flora in the intestines. Nor do they make you drowsy or tired. They do not present a problem to your liver or kidneys, or put harsh chemicals into your bloodstream.
Instead, they are immune enhancing and support the body's natural defenses. Many have antiseptic qualities. They truly help the body heal itself by benefiting every cell, organ, and system.
Essential oils act in ways science is only now beginning to understand. Because of their unique structure, they are able to penetrate the cell membranes or your respiratory system - bringing vital oxygenating molecules and nutrients in, while moving toxins out. They support not only the respiratory system, but also the immune, circulatory, endocrine, digestive, and nervous systems.
The truth is, antibiotics are becoming increasingly ineffective in dealing with bacteria these days. If you have any doubts, read the Washington Post article, if we cannot count on antibiotics, what can we do?

Common sense tells us we need to make sure our immune system remains strong and able to fight off potential dangers. Therapeutic-grade essential oils can be a big help in accomplishing this for our respiratory system and entire body.
The Power Behind Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oils
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
High quality essential oils are extremely concentrated. When extracted at low temperature over many hours, they contain virtually all of the plant's healing nutrients, oxygenating molecules, amino acid precursors, coenzyme A factors, trace minerals, enzymes, vitamins, hormones and more. Because essential oils are so highly concentrated, they can be many, many times more potent than the herbs or plants from which they were derived.
Consider what Terry Friedmann, M.D. has to say;
"...Aromatherapy (essential oils) is one of the most powerful yet safe healing modalities we have today. It should be considered much more in healing."
Amazing as it may seem, research shows that essential oils penetrate every single cell of the body within 20 minutes - no matter where the oil is applied! That means a quick drop on the hand or on the feet is enough to reach every part of your body. A quick drop on the chest can reach the entire respiratory system in a matter of minutes.
Theraputic grade Essential Oils
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unknown to the public, many essential oils in the United States today are heavily diluted and adulterated. But diluted and adulterated oils have very little therapeutic qualities. They can lead to toxicity and only give your body a short false change and cannot help your body heal or help you feel better. In many cases, they do more harm than good.
Only real therapeutic-grade essential oils have the unique properties it takes to help restore health and vitality. Only real therapeutic-grade essential oils kill viruses, fungi, and bacteria, on contact. Only real therapeutic-grade essential oils bring oxygen to each cell because they have the unique ability to penetrate cell membranes and diffuse throughout the blood and tissues, benefiting every cell, organ, and system.
Most oils in the U.S. are imported from France or other countries, where they are heavily thinned and adulterated.
During the last several years, according to the Lavender Growers Association, France has been exporting 100 times more Lavender oil than is actually grown in France. How can this be possible? Where could the extra oil be coming from? Obviously, only from being heavily thinned and diluted.
Of the few companies that do distill their own oils, most of them transport the herbs or plant material a considerable distance before the distillation. What does this mean to the oil? It means many of the volatile (and most valuable) oils evaporate away before the distillation has even started! And to add insult to injury, they are then "cooked" at high temperatures for short periods of time - not allowing the subtle, more therapeutic elements to ever surface.
