How Essential Oils Work

Essential oils also have many special properties which give them the ability to help us deal with odors and bacteria. They act in several ways:

1. They are able to increase atmospheric oxygen in a closed space as they release oxygenating molecules into the atmosphere. Oils increase ozone and negative ions in the home, which inhibits the growth of bacteria. This prevents and destroys existing odors of cigarettes, mold, animals, etc.

2. They are able to break up the molecular chains of some chemicals in the air, making them non-toxic to us because of their particular attraction to these chemicals.

3. Essential Oils will bond to metals and chemicals within the body and carry these toxic out of the body. They work as natural chelators, i.e. they bond organically, forming new compounds called chelates, so that these toxic substances can’t remain in the tissues.

4. Essential Oils remove dust particles from the air, acting as an air filtration system.

5. Essential Oils are recognized as having a very marked ability to increase cellular oxygen through their normal functioning. When applied to the body by rubbing the feet, they will travel through the body and affect every cell, including the hair, within 20 minutes!
