The Body, Health & Essential Oils
Maximizing the gifts essential oils offer
Essential oils are amazing to help us feel better, with sometimes dramatic and immediate results!
Simply apply Peppermint essential oil to the back of your neck or on your temples and feel the cooling sensation of this essential oil favorite to quickly bring relief for head or neck tension. Or cool you down on a hot day!
Rub a drop of Eucalyptus essential oil between your hands and inhale to experience easy breathing and clear airways, almost immediately!
Diffuse Wild Orange essential oil (or one of your favorite citrus oils) and you may be surprised at how fast your mood improves!
Place a drop of Fennel or Ginger essential oil under your tongue to instantly ease your tender tummy or that bloated feeling in your gut.
This isn’t strange or miraculous. It is chemistry! But what is the specific role of essential oils as it relates to our health? I often remind people that there is a direct relationship between the results we achieve and the ability of our body to receive the gift that essential oils bring! Is your body ready for that gift? How do you create a foundation for wellness to maximize your results?
Let’s start by reviewing what makes us healthy, what we know about essential oils, and the important role they play in our health and wellness experiences!
Your Healthy Foundation
The foundation for our wellness experiences begins with healthy cells and is fortified by our daily lifestyle choices.
The foundation for our wellness experiences begins with healthy cells and is fortified by our daily lifestyle choices. Our health is dynamic. We move towards it…or away from it…one cell at a time! Cells make up tissues; tissues make up organs; and organs make up the systems of the body. How well these systems function depends on the health of each individual cell.
Your body is good at expressing its pleasure, or displeasure, with what you are doing. If the cell is not getting what it needs to be healthy, or if it is toxic, then the system will not be able to perform optimally. The dysfunction of a particular system, and the resulting discomfort we sometimes experience, follows the deficiency or toxicity of the cells within that system.
When the lifestyle choices you make tax the body’s capacity to compensate, you may feel the discomfort of your body’s expressions. For example:
Eat food that is too spicy, and your belly definitely feels discomfort, up and down the entire length of your GI tract.
Overdo it while gardening, lifting, dancing, or doing projects around the house and your body will be looking to recuperate on the couch, and/or your back may be “cranky” with you for the next few days.
Stay up too late at night and the next morning, your eyes are burning, your mind may feel foggy, and your patience wears thin quickly. Do that a few nights in a row and boy, will your body express its displeasure!
What can we do to make sure we have great cells and pleasant experiences?
Here are the basics: Eat right, get a good amount of exercise, quality rest, manage your stress, reduce your toxic load, and make sure your cells receive the right instructions for performing at their best! This is where essential oils play a significant role!
What Do We Know About Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils?
Essential oils are biologically active in your body. They have direct interaction with cell receptors, with enzymes, and other catalysts that drive physiology within the body. This is part of how and why essential oils quickly create the benefits we all love to experience.
Essential oils are lipid (fat) soluble and have a small molecular size and weight. This makes it easy for them to move fluidly throughout the body and penetrate different cell membranes and barriers. Think of it as an all-access security pass into your cells. Scientific studies also reveal that essential oils can cross the blood-brain barrier!!
Essential oils provide cell signaling. Further, they are selective, meaning that we see differentiated outcomes (for protection/support or disruption). This unique property of essential oils can be self-sustaining and supportive of good healthy cell function; and with a compromised or damaged cell, the body’s own process of apoptosis (cellular death) can be stimulated by that same essential oil.
Here’s an example which opens our minds to the full possibility of what this might mean to us: “When the DNA code within the cell’s nucleus is altered, it seems Frankincense essential oil supports the cell’s ability to identify and determine what the right DNA code should be.” ~Essential Oils 101: Back to Basics, Dr. David Hill, Salt Lake City, UT.
How amazing is that? Essential oils are active in the body, move easily through cell membranes and other barriers with an important message, all to help the body differentiate its response and improve cellular health and function! That is why you feel better when you use them!
The Gift of Essential Oils

Essential oils are complementary to the body’s ability to self-regulate. Essential oils are information and knowledge; they instruct your body in its processes and functions like no other element. They are a tool to improve cellular function, drawing out the body’s intuitive capacities to maintain optimal health.
To bring about these dramatic and immediate experiences requires a partnership between these pharmaceutical grade essential oils and your body. Use essential oils every day! Maximize their effectiveness by creating a foundation for health and wellness in your daily lifestyle choices!
