We aim to nourish our bodies with fresh, organic and seasonal vegetables as well as staying active. Recently we have introduced even more plant power into our lives to help ward off any unwanted ailments and this has been through the use of essential oils. I have been fortunate to spend the last 6 months working with the team at Praana Wellness and I am excited to have now been given an opportunit
y to share the knowledge of these oils to our Praana Wellness community... and beyond! Essential oils (EO) are extracted natural compounds found in many different parts of plants from the bark to the roots, flowers and the leaves. EO are treasured for their enhancement of beauty, flavour and health. It is interesting to learn how the oils work by getting a better understanding of how they assist their own plant to flourish in their own environment. For example, Melaleuca Alternifolia (otherwise known as Tea Tree) is grown in swampy, humid and wet environments where it is a breeding ground for mold, fungus and bacteria. Plants growing in these conditions must have a strong immune system to survive and thrive. Melaleuca oils are naturally anti- septic, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal making them a fantastic choice for healing cuts, skin issues and more. Humans (like plants) are carbon based, therefore, EO are compatible and beneficial for us too. We are living in a time where chemicals are taking precedence in our lives and polluting our bodies. EO are a fantastic way of enhancing our bodies natural ability to fight infections and disease without putting us under more strain. The oils that we are using here at Praana Wellness are made by doTERRA and they are:
• 100% natural
• The only Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade (CPTG) oils
• Similar health benefits to synthetic drugs with no side effects or addictions
Praana Wellness is fortunate to be supported by Dr. Robin Fawcett, a working GP in the United Kingdom, who also backs the use of EO as the future of medicine: particularly those made by doTERRA. I am working under her guidance and with her support our aim is to educate people as to the benefits of these oils for themselves and their families.
