Therapeutic grade essential oils offer a great value for your money. You are getting an excellent product that is concentrated and only requires a drop or two at a time. When compared dose for dose to over the counter drugs with many side effects, essential oils are very economical and support a healthy lifestyle. At first glance, essential oils seem expensive. This is often because we are used to going to the drug store to purchase a cold remedy for $8-10 a box which averages about .40 a dosage. In the United States, everything is BIG. As consumers we have been trained to look at the Quantity we receive rather than the quality. We’ve been trained by marketers to think BIGGER IS BETTER. We are used to purchasing products expanded with water, fillers and additives.
Essential oils on the other hand are highly concentrated, often needing only 1 drop to achieve results. An essential oil used for combating a cold might require only 1 drop at .10 – .20 cents per drop. Essential oils require a great amount of plant material to distill a small amount of oil. For example, in a distillery 20 feet tall by 8 feet wide filled with German Chamomile only 1/4 – 1/2 cup of oil would be produced. A 15 ml bottle contains over 250 drops of precious oil! You would have to drink 28 cups of peppermint tea to equal 1 drop of Peppermint essential oil. This oil is also versatile as it has many uses and when stored in a cool dark place will last for years. Over the counter meds have an expiration date and are simply a combination of chemicals that will be stored in your liver, kidneys, fatty tissue and other organs where they will build up to the point of toxicity. Typically, over the counter drugs are used by the public and only removed after are found harmful, unfortunately after damage has been done.
I lived for years on foods with artificial sweeteners and colors. After cleaning up my intake for 15 plus years I will never go back. I have never felt healthier in my life and I know it is mainly because I have replaced toxins with natural options – real food and essential oils. Yes, those little bottles appear to be expensive at first, but when you see the results they produce without toxic chemicals, they are cheaper in the long run – really a great value. When you look at TRANSFERRING your buying to economical therapeutic grade essential oils that never expire, you will actually save a lot of money in the long run. You will be using less over the counter drugs for headaches, nausea, diarrhea, pms, aches & pains, skin issues and more, and your liver will thank you!
