Lifehack – Talking about essential oils
I reluctantly woke up from my dream, it was still dark outside, but I knew the biological clock was a very reliable alarm clock, and looking at my phone it was indeed after 6:00.The dream was forgotten again without a trace, I rarely have dreams that I remember. But my neck hurts, I think it must have been pretty hard in the dream.When I got up, I felt a pain in the left side of my neck, a hard patch to the touch. The good thing is that I am a good user of essential oils, so I applied them to heal myself.
I used the poppy oil that my sister, who played badminton together, gave me on a trip to Turkey, and I used it as a base oil.
The first oil I applied was ginger oil, which is one of my favorites, whether it’s for joint, muscle pain, or stomach pain, ginger oil is a warm baby.
The second essential oil is Marjoram, an essential oil that helps relaxation, allowing tension to slowly relax and soften down.
The third essential oil I chose is a small bruise-solving powerhouse permanent flower (waxflower) essential oil. I felt a hard piece on my left neck and needed the permanent flower to melt it. Haha, I’m a quack, using my imagination to medicate myself. Permanent flower essential oil is said to dissolve all physical and mental blockages.
The fourth oil I chose was a compound oil for muscle problems.
Maybe I’ve been brainwashed, I’ve been in the aromatherapy pit for more than 3 years now, but I think it’s worth it. In the past three years, I don’t buy medicine at home anymore, and I use essential oils to solve all my ailments such as cold and flu, and the results are really good.
After contacting essential oils, I read some books about aromatherapy and also took the international aromatherapist certificate. To be honest, my deep feeling about essential oils is that they are very effective for wounds, colds, various pains, and skin care. As for the other fabulous uses, I don’t practice them myself, so I don’t dare to preach them. However, I can tell you quietly that I used essential oils to cure my cousin’s hemorrhoids when she was going to the hospital for surgery.
Essential oils can indeed achieve the effect of medicine for some symptoms. A classmate of mine took her child to the United States for a small stay, and when her child had a cough, she took him to the hospital and the doctor asked what medication was used, and she said she used essential oils. It is clear that the use of essential oils is not rejected in the United States.
But not all essential oils can be used. Quality, quality, knock on wood! Before I studied so hard, I also bought essential oil aromatherapy in a treasure, smoked my headache. After learning, I realized that real essential oils are made from plant extracts and smell healing.
However, there are exceptions, such as jasmine essential oil, ylang ylang essential oil, which contains ether substances, smell more will feel uncomfortable. But also divided into people, I can not smell too fragrant essential oils, but some people just like the taste.
I don’t advertise essential oil brands, but the essential oils I use can be taken orally. That is, the quality of the essential oil is the first element that is effective.
Essential oils cannot be used as widely as drugs because there is too much individual variability to form data and samples for treatment like drugs. The therapeutic benefits of essential oils are all gained from centuries of experience in their use. The psychological effects of essential oils, in particular, are individual to each person and cannot be used uniformly for a particular type of psychological symptom.
My personal perception is that essential oils are like our Chinese medicine, in that they are about holistic conditioning. But for many symptoms of the body, we are used to the crude act of taking pills, injections, applying creams and so on.
In fact, the factors behind a symptom are complex, influenced by psychological and physiological factors. This is too complicated for me to say without being a professional. Just want to say that it’s definitely not as simple as treating a headache and treating a sore foot.
I think for example, the cold, pain, wounds, etc. try to use natural methods of healing, as for the deep-seated cause is not a momentary conditioning can be good, but also depends on the medical edge (bad smile here).
To summarize the results of my three years of using essential oils.
After using essential oils a large group of my perfumes are now on the shelf. But I’ve always been told that I smell like Chinese medicine.
I don’t buy medicine at home anymore after using essential oils, and my health insurance card is idle.
My skin got better after using essential oils.
I’m going to say a little more about my skin, after using essential oils on my face for a few months, my face became “allergic”, itchy, red, swollen …… and felt like a crust, after a whole month or so the symptoms disappeared, my skin got better. I guess this is the legendary detoxification reaction.
But for more than two years I don’t buy cosmetics anymore, I mix my own essential oils, flower water and make my own skin cream, sunscreen with. Save a lot of money, and skin can be good. But the money is not saved after all to buy essential oils, haha.
