On February, 9, at 7 p.m., the Center for the Alignment of Body, Mind and Spirit, in Wantagh, is hosting a free lecture on the use of essential oils.
Essential oils have been used therapeutically for thousands of years, but modern times seem to have forgotten the power of these ancient medicines of the Earth. These concentrated aromatic compounds, which are distilled or cold pressed from plants, trees, shrubs, roots, seeds and flowers, are most commonly known to people by the term “aromatherapy”. Because of the pleasing scents of essential oils, most people assume that their value is one of charm or fragrance, which is a mistake. They are so much more than that.
Body-care products and consumer products, such as candles, room sprays and cleaning agents, very rarely contain genuine essential oils. Most manufacturers of these products typically use lab-created imitations that have no therapeutic effect. Essential oils have a chemical structure that is similar to that found in human cells and tissues, enabling them to be readily identified and accepted by the body. They also have the unique ability to penetrate cell membranes and diffuse throughout the blood and tissue.
What does all this mean for us as human beings? Well, we have the capacity of taking better care of our health without polluting ourselves and our environment with toxic chemicals. It means fewer reactions to stressors in our lives, more relaxed sleep, elimination of pain, better digestion, increased energy, and improved focus and concentration.
Come and find out how essential oils can provide you and your family with a safe way to be more energized and healthy. Seating is limited, so please call 516-395-0966 to reserve your seat.
