If you’re reading this then you are probably curious about the benefits of essential oils, or maybe you already know and are looking for just the right product.
I started using essential oils a few years ago to assist with my own complex health issues and have been amazed by the improvements to my body, mind and spirit. I created Bella Oils in the hope of sharing the same with you.
I know a lot of people believe essential oils are “a bit hippy”, but we nourish our bodies with fruits, vegetables and seeds all provided by Mother Nature every day, so why deprive your body from the potential benefits of oils provided by these same plants?
Since I began using essential oils, they have assisted all members of my family, including our pets. They can also be used for cleaning your home and in gardening.
Bella Oils provides a variety of blends for these uses. All you have to do is choose!
How do essential oils work?
Our sense of smell provokes a powerful physiological and emotional reaction. The essential oils used by Bella Oils are quickly absorbed by the smell receptors in your nose, which travel through the olfactory nerve to the part of your brain called the limbic system. The limbic system is part of the brain that supports a variety of functions including smell, emotions, behaviour, and memory.
Once this message is received in the limbic system the odour can invigorate, calm, sooth pain, provide focus and assist with many other ailments.
Topical application is a very effective method for applying essential oils. Because essential oils have low molecular weights and are liquid soluble, they easily pe*****te the skin. Once absorbed, they stay in the applied area for a localized benefit.
Although essential oils are readily absorbed, there are many ways to increase absorption. Using a light massage will increase the blood flow to the area of application, in turn improving distribution throughout the body.
I have chosen to work with one of the world’s leading essential oil brands. All oils are CPTG® (CPTG CERTIFIED PURE THERAPEUTIC GRADE). They are sourced from over 40 countries throughout the world and every single batch of oil undergoes a multi-phase chemical composition inspection to continue to provide assured quality.
The essential oils that I use to make Bella Oils products have no added fillers, synthetic ingredients, or harmful contaminants. These factors increase product potency, and therefore the efficiency of the product.
Which areas of the body should I apply Bella Oils?
The area of application is usually determined by the problem you are trying to remedy. Common places for application include:
Bottom of feet – this is the ideal place to apply essential oils as the soles of our feet have much larger pores than the rest of our body so they are like big straws soaking the benefits of the oils quicker into your system.
Wrists
Behind the ears
Forehead and temples
Chest and abdomen
Arms, legs
Back, shoulders and neck
How long can you notice the effects of Essential Oils?
Essential oils will last 12 - 24 hours in the body depending on several factors: viscosity, concentration of the oils, application style – massage, diffused, inhaled – or skin type and to which body part the oils were applied. Eventually it is excreted through the kidneys in the urine, exhaled by the lungs, secreted through the skin or passed through in the faeces.
When you inhale the aroma of an essential oil it takes 22 seconds to reach the brain. Your brain then contains the knowledge of how to assist your body with that smell. If it smells peppermint, most people experience an uplifting and invigorating effect; however if the aroma of lavender reaches the brain, it usually knows it’s time to calm down and to ground your emotions.
After applying an oil topically to your skin, it takes an average of 3 minutes for the oil to reach your blood stream, after this it will reach every cell in your body on an average of 20 minutes.
Why should you use Bella oils instead of other store bought products?
Studies have shown that, in general, females apply products to their body each day that contain an average of 168 different chemicals. This, coupled with environmental and diet factors, can lead to an increased toxin load. A build-up of toxins in the body can result in health issues such as digestive problems, insomnia, musculoskeletal issues and fatigue – caused by increased stress on the nervous system.
Essential oils are a natural product and don’t have the nasty side effects of other chemicals. So why not use natural products such as “Bella Oils” when you can!
