      Chapter 1 - From Essential Oils to Base Oils: The Power of Natural Healing via Aromatherapy

      Beginnings

      The origin of the term aromatherapy and the beginnings of the legendary healing efficacy of essential oils are literally ages apart. Terminology-wise, aromatherapy is a concoction of the modern world, particularly among Europeans during the early 20th century. The French chemist René-Maurice Gattefossé published the first book that mentioned aromathérapie to describe how he successfully treated a serious burn injury with the use of lavender oil, an essential oil. In contrast, the application of essential oil for healing is as old as time. Essential oils hold the distinction as mankind’s first medicines.

      There were historical and biblical accounts of how essential oils were used during the ancient times. These references include Egyptian hieroglyphs and hundred of references in the bible. God himself figured prominently in the biblical references. Particularly, one of the first step-by-step instructional guides for the preparation of anointing oil from known essential oils of the modern world was attributed to God.

      http://incenseden.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/nefertiti-oil-to-isis.jpg

      It is the position of this book that the efficacy of any medicine that weathered the test of time, over two centuries at that, cannot be questioned. Notwithstanding criticisms that the therapeutic effects of essential oils have no basis, 2,000 years of unrecorded but successful results cannot be dismissed. The tradition of using essential oils as home remedies for common minor afflictions would not have been propagated through word-of-mouth if its vaunted effects were all folkloric hype.

      The reintroduction of the healing effects of essential oils in the early 1900s was spearheaded by learned men in the person of European scientists. Knowing how rigid men of science are in adhering to the scientific method of inquiry fanned the flames of interest in this author’s heart to write a book that compiled the natural healing power of essential oils. These super oils may be ancient in origin, but have you ever wondered why people then enjoyed longevity more than the modern man who has synthetic pharmaceuticals in his medicine cabinet?

      Therapeutic Effects of Essential Oils

      There is a myriad of healing benefits which can be derived from essential oils. Some of these benefits are:

      Air purification

      Detoxifying properties

      Emotional and physical healing

      Facilitation of nutrient transport in the body

      Multi-anti capabilities, starting with it being an antiseptic. Essential oils also fight:

      Bacteria

      Cancer

      Fungi

      Infection

      Microbes

      Parasites

      Tumors

      Penetrating power to the skin owing to its small molecular size, which enhances efficacy of the intervention

      Purification of air

      Regenerative, oxidative, and immune defense properties

      There is growing research with positive indications that sesquiterpenes, which is found in some essential oils, is able to pass the so-called blood brain barrier. With this development, essential oils are also being eyed as effective treatment for the following illnesses: Alzheimer’s disease, Lou Gehrig’s disease, multiple-sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease. The bio-electrical frequency of essential oils has been documented in research to be a potent factor in restoring the human body to a normal, healthy level.

      Pure Essential Oils

      Essential oils refer to volatile liquids which are distilled from plants and plant parts to extract their essence for therapeutic applications both on the physical and the psychological realm of healing. Source plants for these oils range from plants, shrubs, and trees to grasses. Essential oils are extracted from various plant parts including the bark, flower, fruit, leaf, root, and stem.

      They are called essential oils because of how ancient doctors or medicine men, as well as pharmacists of the olden times (called apothecaries or more specifically, alchemists), perceive these plant extracts as the essential life force of plants. Mystics even believe in their magical healing powers. However, as man continued to benefit from their therapeutic applications, they also came to realize that essential oils indeed heal, but not because of magic.

      Contrary to popular belief, the essential oils used by reputable professionals in the modern world who engage in aromatherapy and massage therapy are not pure essential oils. This is not, however, a bad thing at all. Technically, essential oils cannot and should not be used in their pure form because these will cause severe skin irritation and/or reactions for most individuals. The same is true for essential oils used in aromatherapy because the nasal lining is more sensitive than the external skin.

      The Need for Base Oils

      Essential oils are distilled from selected plants mostly via steam or water. Being volatile in nature, these oils have concentrated aroma but evaporate over time. It is standard practice to dilute essential oils using carrier oils. Carrier oils are derived from the fatty portion of plants such as the kernel, nut, or seed and do not have the strong aroma of essential oils, but they do not evaporate. Carrier oils are important in aromatherapy and are used to dilute essential oils to prevent irritation or other adverse reactions.

      Carrier oil is the general term used in aromatherapy to dilute essential oils prior to application. Base oils are practically the same as carrier oils, but the former term finds more frequent use in skin care, specifically when referring to natural methods of caring for the skin. This book adopted the term base oil grounded on the fact that aromatherapy dilutes pure essential oils to prevent skin irritation, and thus, is an effort to effect natural skin care.

      However, base oils are not simply dilution agents. They provide distinct characteristics and healing properties. Aromatherapy practitioners therefore select particular base oils in terms of the therapeutic goal of the procedure. Base oils are also interchangeably called fixed oils or vegetable oils, although the latter may present some confusion. Not all base oils are extracted from plants although many of them are.

      Base Oils Used in Aromatherapy

      The following base oils are used in aromatherapy:

      Apricot kernel oil is extracted from the kernel (apparently) of the fruit and exhibits a pale yellow color. It contains vitamins and minerals. This oil is generally used for all skin types and is best for dry, prematurely aging, sensitive, and/or swollen skin.

      Avocado pear oil is sourced from the flesh of the fruit itself and is, therefore, dark green. It has fatty acids, lecithin, proteins, and vitamins A and D. This oil is used as an additive to base oil at 10% to 20% dilution. It suits all skin types and is best for dry or dehydrated skin. It is effective against eczema.

      Avocado pear oil has exhibited therapeutic properties for use in rejuvenating skin and as a restorative tonic. It is also known to be vulnerary (i.e., effective in healing wounds). However, extra care should be taken with this essential oil during pregnancy because it is reported from anecdotal history of its use to be an abortifacient (i.e., induces abortion), although there is no clinical basis yet. Clinical research on the effect of Avocado pear oil on the liver is
