What is an Essential Oil?
A volatile, organic compound found inside plants. Often
thought of as the essence of plants. They are what
makes up the plant’s scent AND keeps plant healthy

then to the limbic system of the brain, where hormonal
centers are triggered and release healing responses

nervous systems. Some EOs are small enough to cross the blood/brain
barrier

Spiritually
Used for vibrational benefits - all essential oils have a specific
electromagnetic frequency (aka vibration). Our bodies have a certain
frequency at homeostasis (when balanced) and that drops when we are
sick, or we are around negative energy. Even with a headache, our
frequency drops. Essential oils help to raise our body’s vibrations to that
state of balance.
Our chakras each have their own frequency. Specific oils can be used to
balance those chakras. Our organs also each have a specific frequency
and some blends and oils help balance and support them.
Biblical/religious uses - anointment of oils on the crown or third eye points to
connect more with the divine, removes the veil (frankincense is referenced
most for this in Bible, and it happens to be the same frequency as our crown
chakra, and can be used to enhance spiritual balance)
Enhances yoga, meditation, other spiritual practices. Can be used the
same way sage, prayer candles, or incense to clear old or negative
energy.
