What Do Essential Oils Actually Do?
Answer: In a fascinating twist of biology, essential oils interact with our cells to repair and cleanse receptor sites damaged by toxins. Sesquiterpenes erase harmful information, while phenols clean and repair receptor sites, restoring proper communication among cells. The gift of essential oils lies in the profound support they provide through the natural compounds found in plants, trees, roots, and bark.
"Since 1950, at least 70,000 new chemical compounds have been invented and dispersed into our environment. Only a fraction of these have been tested for human toxicity. We are, by default, conducting a massive clinical toxicology trial, and our children and their children are the experimental animals." — Herbert L. Needleman, M.D., Philip J. Landrigan, M.D., Raising Children Toxic Free
