Exploring Different Essential Oils For Relief

By Kenneth Schmidt


Essential oils have been used for centuries in products such as cosmetics and air fresheners. Only more recently has popularity grown in relation to using different essential oils for relief. For, research now shows that a number of different essences can benefit body, mind and soul.

Many of these offerings are one hundred holistic and natural. As such, drug interactions which can often occur between natural supplements and prescription drugs are often non-existence. Although, it is always good to check with a primary care provider before adding any natural healing product to an existing treatment plan.

Most of these essences are extracted by distillation which uses steam. As this is the case, unlike supplements sold at health stores, there is a far less likely chance of experiencing a drug interaction. While some individuals have seen improvement to allergies by using different blends, it is always best to check with a primary health care provider before doing so.

The natural health food and medical communities have been using essences as a healing method for years. While this is the case, there are now new and stringent guidelines which have been placed on anything considered a remedy by the FDA and other organizations. As such, most countries now have strict rules and guidelines when it comes to distraction, production and delivery of these items.

Interest had dwindled in relation to these products in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Since that time, it appears interest has seen somewhat of a revival, especially when it comes to the holistic health industry. One of the most common aspects of holistic health is that of Aromatherapy. As such, this natural healing form has contributed greatly to the future of essences as a valid medical treatment in the future.

In most cases, these essences are used to scent the air during various healing sessions. For example, massage therapists often either spray a scent or burn incense to create calm during treatment. Whereas, some individuals carry a nebulizer filled with a scent so that one can take a whiff when needing to feel calm or ease pain.

Eucalyptus, peppermint, tea tree oil and lavender are the four most common of all essences. When desiring to use these products, it can often be beneficial to look at a comparison sheet online. In doing so, one can see which essences effect body, mind and spirit in different ways. After which, it is easier to determine which scent might be best suited for calming or healing an illness at any given time.

Ibn a-Baitar has been credited with discovering the single distillation process to distract these essences. While most are still derived through this method, there is one exception. For, those using the y-lang y-lang method have often reported that it can take up to 22 hours before a fraction of an essence can be distilled unlike that of single distraction which can take far less time while producing more oil.
