Benefits of Essential Oils
- Essential oils are the regenerating, oxygenating and immune defense properties of plants
- The molecular size of essential oils is so small they quickly penetrate the tissues of the skin.
- Essential oils are lipid soluble and are capable of penetrating cell walls, even if they have hardened because of oxygen deficiency. They can affect every cell of the body within 20 minutes and are metabolized like other nutrients.
- Essential oils contain oxygen molecules that help transport nutrients to cells. They stimulate the immune system by providing needed oxygen. Disease begins when cells lack oxygen for proper nutrient assimilation.
- Essential oils are powerful antioxidants.
- Essential oils are anti-bacterial, anti-cancerous, anti-fungal, anti-infectious, anti-microbial, anti-tumoral, anti-parasitic, anti-viral, and antiseptic.
- Essential oils may help detoxify the body.
- Essential oils restore balance to the body and help promote emotional, physical and spiritual healing.
- Essential oils have a bio-electrical frequency that is several times higher than the frequency of herbs, food or the human body. Clinical research has shown that essential oils can quickly raise the frequency of the human body, restoring it to a healthy level.
Why do we need more oxygen?
Sendentary lifestyles, poor nutrition, lack of exercise, unrelieved stress and shallow breathing of polluted air are factors contributing to a "low oxygen" condition in our cells. Simply put, the less oxygen that exists in our cells, the worse our health becomes and the body becomes vulnerable to disease.
Our metabolism requires sufficient oxygen to burn food for energy. When deficient levels of oxygen are present in our cells, unoxidized waste products (toxins) accumulate, forming breeding grounds for harmful viruses and microbes. These disease causing organisms thrive in a low oxygen environment. By increasing oxygenation and improving oxygen utilization in the body, they cannot survive. Supplying the cell with adequate oxygen allows it to oxidize, "burn up", the waste products, helping maintain the integrity of your body's perfectly synchronized systems.
A Brief History:
Oxygen therapy has been employed for over 100 years and is now used in 17 countries around the world. Dr. Otto Warburg made the important discovery, "the fundamental cause of all degenerative disease is hypoxia, oxygen starvation at the cellular level. Cancer and other degenerative diseases cannot survive in an oxygen rich environment." His work made him the only two time Nobel Prize winner for medicine in 1931 and 1944. Since this time, research has been ongoing and many methods developed.
Oxygen therapy is one of the safest and most powerful cleansing modalities ever devised. As our earth's environment becomes increasingly polluted with pesticides, toxic waste and chemicals, we become polluted as well. Today, more than ever, we realize the importance of this work and the true requirements our bodies have for oxygen.
What are the benefits?
- Oxidizes lactic acid, relaxes and loosens muscles and increases muscle flexibility
- Oxidizes adrenaline, producing overall calm, and preventing the pleiomorphic changes in an internal flora which can lead to serious disease
- Oxidizes toxins so they can be eliminated through the skin, lungs, kidneys and colon
- Stimulates vasodilation of blood vessles, boosting circulation, relieving pain and helping injured muscles to repair more quickly
- Eliminates many bacterial and viral infections, yeast, fungi and protozoa
- Stimulates the immune system
- Scavenges free radicals and stimulates production of protective cell enzymes
- Relieves jet lag
Methodology:
Oxygen therapy steam is among the most effective, comfortable and powerfully therapeutic methods of introducing more oxygen to the body. The oxygen is administered by sitting in a Russian-style steam cabinet for 20-35 minutes. By raising the body temperature, a "false fever" reaction is created, stimulating the body's own defense mechanism, opening the pores and allowing oxygen to enter the body transdermally; an effecive technique used for thousands of years. This powerful therapy boosts all body processes - respiration, digestion, assimilation, energy production, elimination and immunity.
