Nature gets essential oils right. Synthesizing them on a lab just doesn't cut it. Problems with synthesizing essential oil molecules in a laboratory. Read more: https://benbalden.com/problems-with-synthesizing-essential-oil-molecules-in-a-laboratory/ You may be asking, “So, what’s the big deal with making essential oils in a laboratory?” It scientists can create the same molecule in a lab that nature does, it’s essentially the same, right? True, but there is SO much more to the story. Here are 4 problems with synthetic production of essential oils: 1) ISOLATION - The isolation of a key constituent molecule removes the synergy or naturally occurring mixture of other constituent molecules. 2) TRACE HARMFUL INGREDIENTS - Harmful trace ingredients used in the synthetic production of an isolated essential oil molecule are found in small amounts in the final product. 3) CHIRALITY - Because a laboratory produces different chiral molecules, some synthesized molecules may not work the same as nature-made molecules even if the atoms and the atomic bonds are the same. 4) SUSTAINABILITY - Producing essential oils through nature in sustainable ways is more valuable to the average end consumer and the environment.

There is a huge difference in the quality of essential oils on the market. Not all essential oils are the same (what makes some essential oils cost so much?) 💡 You’re paying for quality. 💡 You will pay more for an essential oil extracted from a plant than one created in a laboratory. 💡 The majority of essential oils out there are synthetically produced in a laboratory. 💡 The majority of essential oils out there don’t work, that is they don’t provide the therapeutic value you should get (even if they are extracted from a plant) 💡 Many essential oils out there are adulterated. That is they have something added to them to either attempt to enhance them or stretch the batch. 💡 Try it out for yourself. What’s most important is what works for you.

Using essential oils requires a different approach than using modern chemical health solutions. Essential oils require a different approach to relief as compared to traditional forms of healthcare 🧪 - No statistically significant direction 💊 - Not a pill for an ill solution 🧑‍🔬 - Everyone is different, background, emotions, trauma 🧮 - Many possible solutions 🔬 - Must experiment to learn what works for you 🌳 - Oils address root cause rather than symptoms 🔨 - Synthetic approaches are like using a sledge hammer, they may fix or cover up the problem, but they cause side effect Example: Two men have a wellness ailment. They both try essential oils, but find relief from a different oil. What are your thoughts? Do you find using essential oils in your home a different approach than using traditional or modern healthcare approaches? Do you agree? 🎧 Listen to my podcast: http://bit.ly/benbalden 🌐 Visit my Blog: https://benbalden.com/essential-oils-are-a-different-approach-to-relief/ The post Essential oils require a different approach to relief 📹 🎧 (eo-06) appeared first on Ben Balden.

Are essential oils snake oils, or do they really work? Are Essential Oils Snake Oils? Have you ever heard, “It’s all in your mind?” or “It’s just a placebo effect.” What about, “Essential oils are just snake oils!” Tell me in the COMMENTS, what do you say to someone who responds this way. TERMS TO KNOW: 🦠 PLACEBO EFFECT: A placebo effect is when someone responds positively to a fake treatment simply because they psychologically believed the treatment would work. It’s like taking a sugar pill and getting better just because you believed you would. 🐍 SNAKE OILS: In the mid 19th century, a salesmen sold a mineral oil substance referred to as “snake oil” and claimed it was a cure-all elixir for all kinds of physiological problems. There was no proof for his claims. And no refunds either. Now days the term, “snake oil,” is a euphemism for deceptive marketing and health care fraud. It’s used to describe any product making frivolous claims. 🦆 QUACKERY: Quackery means fraudulent or ignorant medical practice. A quack is a fraudulent pretender of medical skill. 🤷‍♂️ SKEPTICAL HUSBAND: This is normal. As a protector of family resources in the home, men are by nature skeptical about novel claims that seek to deplete the family resources and offer little or no tangible benefit. 🎧 Listen to my podcast: http://bit.ly/benbalden 🌐 Visit my Blog: https://benbalden.com/are-essential-oils-snake-oils/ The post Are essential oils snake oils? 📹 🎧 (eo-05) appeared first on Ben Balden.

A very brief explanation of what essential oils are. Root Cause Focus – no cover-up approach solves problems at the root Naturally, plant-produced compounds Emotional and physical health applications Safe without side effects Healthier – less time at doctors, fewer copays, etc. Affordable – pennies per use! They have the following characteristics: ① lipid soluble compounds (meaning they are oils), ② natural-occurring (produced by plants and extracted or distilled from humans), ③ therapeutic (have a physical benefit to wellness), ④ volatile (easily evaporate at room temperature), ⑤ aromatic (having a pleasant and distinctive smell), and ⑥ concentrated (a single drop can have profound affect). Most importantly, essential oils are Natural, Effective, and Safe. 3 Ways to use them * Topical (on the skin) * Aromatic (breathe them in) * Internal (take them with drink or food) 👉 Remember that you can live a happier, fuller life today. 🎧 Listen to my podcast: http://bit.ly/benbalden 🌐 Visit my Blog: https://benbalden.com/ 📚 Get my books: https://benbalden.com/books/ 💧 Get essential oils from me: https://benbalden.com/oils/ 📝 Enroll in one of my online courses: https://benbalden.com/courses/ ✅ If you like this and want to be notified when I post new content, like and subscribe to my Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/benbaldencom) and YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/bsb36) The post An Introduction to Essential Oils 🎥 📹 🎧 (eo-00) appeared first on Ben Balden.
