In any field of healthcare, it is necessary to recognize that the road to optimal health is not always straightforward. Along the way you will find that different routes work for different animals, and that combining various modalities may help expedite the healing process. With that in mind we highly recommend the use of essential oils as an alternative to many mainstream techniques.
What Exactly Is An Essential Oil?
Oils are the lifeblood of the plant. They are “essentially” what keeps an organism living and functioning, and each has it’s own unique healing properties.
Why Use An Essential Oil?
The beauty in using oils is how quickly they become affective. Depending on how they are used (orally, dermatalogically, olfactory) will determine how they are introduced into the system. An oil applied directly to the skin takes approximately twenty minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and into new cell development, thus affecting the body relatively quickly. An oil wafted underneath the nose hits the body just as quickly due to the several hundred million olfactory receptors present. Those taken orally get absorbed directly through receptors within the throat and mouth. In addition to their swiftness, oils can be used quite often without reaching a “toxic” level because of their nature. Being a natural product makes it a little bit more difficult to overdose on an oil, much like it can be difficult to overdose on certain vitamins. It can certainly be done, but you’d really need to try to get there. Recommendations for the necessary amount are often written on the bottle itself.
How Do Oils Work?
The science behind oils has to do with the frequency in the oil itself, and the frequency at which the body functions. There is a fine line between health and disease in any living organism and this depends on keeping the frequency above a certain level. Each essential oil has a specific frequency, and when they are used it helps to increase the frequency at which the body is functioning. This in turn helps all systems in the body, including the nervous system, function at a higher level and work more efficiently.
What Oils Are The Most Necessary?
Now that is a tricky question. Each essential oil has it’s own unique property specific to healing the body. Lavender is fantastic for overall healing, wounds, and calming. Citrus oils help with pain. Basil helps with infection. The list goes on and the best way to determine what is necessary for your pet or even for yourself is to talk with someone a bit more knowledgeable on the subject. Every oil can be helpful to the body, but not every oil is necessary for that specific body!
What’s The Difference Between Brands?
There is a HUGE difference between the various brands of oils. Some brands have a higher rate of carrier oil (a mixer), while others are much more pure. The purer the oil, the higher the frequency, the less oil needed to make a change. Often times the oils found at your local market or health store have a high rate of mixer and low purity, these are a waste of your money. What may seem like a great deal is often too good to be true for a reason. Our practice exclusively uses BeYoung essential oils because they have such a high testing rate and are one of the purest form of oils on the market. The company is trustworthy and reliable, and their oils are incredibly effective.

Secondly you can also find them on the internet, but once again make sure you are getting a trustworthy brand. Thirdly you can purchase directly through our practice.
