5 Essential Facts about Essential Oils

-




The popularity of essential oil has been on the rise since the world has began opting for Ayurveda, old school traditions and organic food for their well being. That being said I was interested only in fragrance however a little inspection accidentally led me to encounter some fascinating facts about Essential oils listed below.

Did you know Essential Oil is beneficial for your skin, hair, anti ageing, sleep, weight loss, to reduce acne, joint and muscle pain, body pain, flu, to soothe mind and of course to reduce stress?


1. Essential Oil has unique molecules which have the ability to penetrate cell membranes and diffuse throughout the skin, tissues, and blood. They can travel throughout the body in just minutes, whether applied to the skin or inhaled. They are metabolized by the body just like other nutrients. High quality essential oils do not accumulate in the body over time. They exert their action and they pass on through.
2. Essential Oils contain and carry oxygen molecules which transport nutrients into cells. When a nutritional deficiency exists, there is also a corresponding oxygen deficiency, and this is where disease can begin. Because essential oils carry oxygen, they can be useful for supporting a healthy body.

3. Essential oils may also contain potent antioxidants which are known to fight against free radical damage which is linked to cell mutations, cellular oxidation, aging, and a sluggish immune system.

4. According to research diffusing essential oil increases oxygen in the room where the diffuser is placed. It removes metallic particles and toxins from the air, increases ozone, inhibits bacteria, and of course eliminates odor.

5. It is estimated that at least 77% of essential oils on the market are synthetic. These oils not only have little to no therapeutic value – they can be toxic and dangerous to use. Roughly 21% of essential oils in the market are adulterated. Hence only two percent of essential oils in the market are pure. (There are a lot of methods to determine the purity of Essential Oils)

Health benefits of Essential Oils


These are some of the amusing facts apart from many others which are not mentioned. I reckon these benefits are more than enough to coax you to include essential oils in your life which not just makes your room look elegant and full of fragrance but also brings in dozen health benefits along with it,  which is much needed in the stressful world that we are living in.

A love so miserable

1. A relationship without commitment. Exhausted, she came after work, lied down and drifted in her thoughts, a smile found her. When would the time arrive when she will come home to him, take her into his arms and melt the tiredness of the day.  'Tomorrow' she said to herself 'I will see him tomorrow'. With that assurance she went to freshen up waiting for call to arrive. By the time she came out, she checked her phone to see if he had called. He did. She hurried to the next room away from her parents. She called back. It was busy. Her heart was heavy to have missed the call. She lied on the bed in the dark waiting for a call back. She waited. She messaged 'Your phone is busy'. She drifted to sleep for sometime. The phone buzzed. She hurriedly checked. 'I will call you'. She knew she can go back to read as it will take time for the phone to ring again. 'Why can't he spare 5 mins for me when I can wait 30 mins for his call?', 'why do I wai...

Are you a Responsible Traveler???

My First Blog! To begin with this would be my inaugural blog on blogger. So let me tell you a little about myself - that I am on an experiment of discovering a new side of myself i.e exploring a thing called “Travelling” – Something I wished to do way back but could not. Recently I went on an expedition to visit a beautiful place with my childhood friends. I visited Andaman. One thing I learnt from my previous travel experience is the "company" while travelling is very important. We were amazed to witness aesthetic beauty of nature while covering 3 islands in Andaman.

Big Fat Wedding = Big Fat Nothing. Is It?

They say marriages are made in heaven, well then why is it necessary to prove it to hundreds of witnesses. Indian marriages are nothing less compared to Award shows, just that only 2 families are gonna take care of the cost of all the guests till the event ends. This beautiful ceremony has turned into business for many people. The heart aches to see entire life savings being spent for this one event to please OTHER people. A fact – Weddings/reception are for the guests to enjoy while the couple (for whom it is arranged) become “madam tussauds wax statues” who just solve the purpose of getting the pictures right. After interacting with many family members who have hosted the weddings for their dear ones, my conclusion is – IT IS TOUGH – to host it – to please hundreds of guests – to make sure everything runs smoothly – to run million errands to ensure the guests don’t get disappointed with the arrangements – Aren’t we forgetting something – what about the couple? – well, they ...
