In order to keep Essential oils affordable and available to everyone, distributors must talk about them in a highly generalized sense regarding the various ways essential oils can support your 12 body systems.
If you want to dive deeper, I recommend the following sources
Google &-or PubMed
Look up the following chemical constituent categories:
Or check out specific chemical constituents, e.g.:
- Beta caryophyllene (e.g. Copaiba)
- Methyl salicylate, menthol, eugenol (e.g. Panaway TM)
- Alpha-pinene (e.g. Frankincense)
- D-limonene (e.g. Lemon)
If you’re not big on web searches and want to learn from a scientific angle…
The Healing Intelligence of Essential Oils – Kurt Schnaubelt (Illuminating & affordable)
The Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple: David Stewart (deep dive, doctrinal)
Essential Oils Integrative Medical Guide: Gary D. Young (the book Gary wrote before he was censored by the FDA in what he could say about essential oils and their medicinal applications)
If you just want a good reference guide to look up specific oils, blends and uses…
My favorite is the Essential Oils Pocket Reference available from Life Science Publishing. You’ll receive this as a free gift when you sign up for your PSK using distributor #10672500. E-mail harriet@embodiedoiler.com with promo code “GUIDE” after you sign up.
I also use the app version of this guide, “Ref Guide for Essential Oils” by Abundant Health
