Conditions And 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.

Unlike amino or fatty, essential oils are most often extracted by distillation. In most cases, the process uses steam to do so. Although, there are other methods. These include cold processing, resin tapping, absolute and solvent extraction and expression. Once extracted, the oils can be used in cleaning supplies, flavoring food and drink, creating incense, perfumes, soaps and cosmetics.

These essences have also been used in medicine for quite some time. In these cases, the products can be sold as remedies for a number of conditions. For example, many have been used in treatment related to cancer and other terminal illnesses. As a result, most countries have established strict rules, regulations and guidelines when it comes to using these natural essences as medication.

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, aromatherapy products are used in massage offices to create a more relaxed environment for clients. Although, there are also private individuals who offer services such as aromatherapy baths and body rubs which require no specialized licensing. While this is the case, it is always important to discuss any uncomfortable reactions to different scents during the process.

The four most common of all essences are eucalyptus, tea tree oil, peppermint and lavender. In addition, rose oil can provide a calming effect in both animals and humans. As such, while research in regard to essences and pets has only just begun, it appears that animals can also experience benefits when it comes to using these products.

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.
