If you have never used essential oils, these fascinating healing tools are worth a try. They are cheap, safe, easy to use, very portable … and studies suggest that they can help treat pain, fatigue, depression, anxiety and many other symptoms related to pain and the brain. Their ability to influence the body and mind comes from direct links between olfactory (smell) pathways and the limbic system of the brain.
When applied to any part of the body, their volatile oils literally hover over the skin. This means that their molecular vibrations interact with the electromagnetic field of the body. That makes essential oils a hybrid of plant medicine and energy medicine.
While evidence suggests that some oils may be better for certain conditions, in our experience the scents that an individual likes the most tend to deliver the best results. We recommend applying them to scars and other areas of injury or trauma. These create blockages in the connective tissue meridians of the body that are the primary target for treatment with the Seekers Method.
