The word Lavender literally means “to be washed” or “to wash.” This remarkable plant has been cherished for its unmistakable aroma and its treasured medicinal properties for thousands of years.

From its earliest beginnings in ancient Greece, Lavender has gradually spread and is now grown in many parts of the world, including France, Spain, Italy, China, and all throughout Europe. For many years, England was the largest producer of Lavender; currently, however, France produces more than any other country in the world.

Frankincense

In 3000 BC, Frankincense had more value than gold and was sometimes referred to as “liquid gold.” Gum resin harvested from Frankincense trees located in Oman, India, Somalia and Yemen is distilled into Frankincense oil.

One of the oldest medical documents known to man dating back to 1500 BC recorded the use of Frankincense oil by physicians and priests alike for the treatment of disease and illness. Today modern science is giving validity to these early ancient practices and, once again, the essential oil of Frankincense is bringing new hope for improving and maintain optimal health.

Like all essential oils, Frankincense brings complexity and synergy through its many beneficial compounds and structures. Researchers have discovered that compounds identified as sesquiterpenes stimulate the limbic system, the emotional center of the brain, as well as key glands. No wonder the rich aromatic scent of this unique essential oil is calming to the senses, emotional state, and overall sense of well-being.
It is nearly impossible to list all of the benefits linked to this potent essential oil, and science is just beginning to understand some of its more prominent benefits. Researchers from Japan and the University of Maryland both determined that Frankincense oil has anti-inflammatory properties. This is critical when you realize that inflammation is widely believed to be the root cause of illness and disease.

Peppermint

Man evolved with plants, and it is no surprise that Peppermint has been an integral part of herbal medicine for thousands of years. Today, Peppermint is a powerful additive for pharmaceutical and dental products. It is widely used in the cosmetic, perfume, and food industries, as well.

With the mainstream acceptance of essential oils, now more than ever before, it is important to avoid essential oils that are impure or of inferior quality. Impurities or alterations of any kind will disrupt the delicate nature of the oil and diminish its brilliant qualities.

For more than 100 years, physicians have understood this importance and have used pure Peppermint in the treatment of nasal congestion and sinusitis. Medicinally, Peppermint creates potent outcomes. There are more than 30 different compounds in pure Peppermint oil, each in varying amounts, creating a synergistic masterpiece of biological activity.

Recently, Peppermint has been the focus of several studies which target its known benefits for improved digestion and anti-inflammatory activity in the intestinal tract. Many of these studies have noted the power of Peppermint, even in smaller amounts. Peppermint has been used for its analgesic effects and even for soothing headaches. Peppermint is often used to improve mental alertness and acuity. Pure therapeutic-grade Peppermint oil is timeless in its uses and has many yet to be discovered benefits.

Apply Peppermint to the back of the neck to help relieve stress and tension. It can be applied to the temples to relieve headache. When applied to the bottom of the feet, Peppermint creates a cooling sensation and may help to reduce fever. Its aroma is uplifting and invigorating and when used topically can be soothing to tired, sore muscles. Peppermint is a natural choice to add refreshment to any beverage. Its cooling sensation is perfect for fresh breath and opening the sinuses and airways.

Lemon

This oil is sometimes referred to as “Liquid Sunshine” and for good reason. It is versatile with a well-established history for its use. Originating in China, it quickly spread all throughout the world anciently. It was established in the New World in the 1400s, arriving with Columbus. Now lemon and citrus oils in general are widely accepted and FDA approved for internal consumption.

This essential oil powerhouse is unique in that it is not steam distilled; instead, it is cold pressed to preserve its delicate nature. Under extreme pressure, the rind reluctantly gives up the liquid sunshine in its untainted, wholesome form.
Traditionally, Lemon oil has many uses. It is a powerful antiseptic and can be an effective means to improve circulation. It is a considered to be an excellent antibacterial agent. If perhaps you are experiencing respiratory infections or inflammation, then Lemon may very well be the oil of choice for you. Additionally, its pleasant sweet aroma can be uplifting to lighten any mood as well as cleansing to the environment.

Like all pure essential oils, Lemon has a complete chemical profile just as it did in nature. One of the most impressive is limonene. Limonene has been extensively researched for its protective influence to cells. All citrus oils contain limonene as a major component of their structure. Lemon oil offers many possibilities for health improvement due to its defensive attributes, which can easily be distributed throughout the body, even to its very core--your cells!

One of the easiest ways to receive the remarkable qualities associated with Lemon oil is to diffuse it into the air or utilize direct inhalation from the palms of your hands. Lemon oil can effortlessly be applied to the bottom of the feet or added to a glass of water as a purifier and for a quick energizing boost.
