Why Essential Oils?
In today’s day in age, keeping up with health and beauty products can become exhausting and not to mention expensive! Thankfully I've discovered a product that can improve everything from my hair to my skin, to my overall wellness inside and out due to its array variety of scents and benefits. Essential oils have complimented my healthy lifestyle without breaking the bank. Not to mention it’s all-natural! What exactly is an essential oil? They are derived from flowers, plants, fruits, leaves, and trees and this holistic approach has been used for centuries.
There are over 90 types of oils with different smells and benefits. To list a few:
Lavender
Peppermint
Eucalyptus
Tea Tree
Frankincense
These are packed with awesome and unique benefits. Because of its antiseptic properties, Lavender essential oil has proven to effectively prevent mosquito bites when applied to your skin. In addition to repelling bugs, Lavender promotes relaxation and may help reduce anxiety, fungal infections, insomnia, and even improve the quality of sleep. The fragrance of Lavender promotes calmness and wellness and can be applied behind your ear or on the temples. I can also do you one better, in combination with the MetaBoost program, these two are sure to help with those sleepless nights! The MetaBoost program contains the right Meta-Influencers (little known body boosting superfoods) that help boost the lavender properties to help battle inflammation AND help with sleeping through the night. It's a great one-two step in getting those 7-9 crucial hours of sleep!
Peppermint is an aromatic plant and has been used to enhance soaps, flavors, fragrances, and other products. Peppermint oil is used for deeper benefits like relieving tension by keeping your mind at peace. It can also help with cognitive function, therefore enhancing your memory. Improving your mood is another benefit of this oil because of its uplifting and bold aromas. Eucalyptus is originally native to Australia but is now grown all over the world and known for its medicinal properties. This essential oil provides different benefits such as boosting your immunity by fighting infections because of its natural antiseptic properties. Improving your respiratory health is another great benefit by reducing the amount of mucus from the sinuses and respiratory tract. Eucalyptus is also considered to be an anti-inflammatory substance because it may reduce inflammation in the arteries and blood vessels. Inflammation can be so painful, and cause discomfort like no other, that’s why I created my MetaBoost program. My one of a kind MetaBoost program allows the body to naturally tackle inflammation while also benefiting from the balance of hormones. It’s a great way to eat the right foods and benefit in more ways than one! Eucalyptus is awesome and can be placed nearly anywhere on the body which will also go great with the MetaBoost program! You can place the oil on your temples, stomach, the bottom of your feet, AND your chest!
Tea Tree oil, which is also known as Melaleuca oil, originates from the leaves of an Australian tree just like Eucalyptus. Tea Tree can be found in many popular products such as shampoo, toothpaste, and lip balm. This wonder oil also helps with treating cuts or scrapes because of its gentle disinfecting powers. If you were ever looking for a product to enhance your hair, then look no further! Tea Tree oil has proven to unclog hair follicles, cleanse and condition your hair, and can aid in the removal of dandruff. Overall, this oil is used for self-care, including the treatment of acne by reducing inflammation, moisturizing, and restoring your skin’s natural oil balance. Another great essential oil is Frankincense. Which also comes from the leaves of a Boswellia tree, except this oil originates from India. This powerhouse oil is considered a disinfecting agent and because of this, it has been used in eliminating germs around the house and even inside our bodies- just like my MetaBoost program which holds similar effects! The MetaBoost program is a great way to battle inflammation and tackle imbalanced hormones, and it’s so simple, all of the ingredients can be purchased at your local grocery store! Alongside its antimicrobial effects, Frankincense has been shown to prevent signs of aging. It may help improve the skin's tone and elasticity, as well as protect it against bacteria and as a result, strengthen the skin. If you’ve ever experienced digestion issues, this may be an essential oil you want to look into! This oil has the capabilities to help the digestive system detox and in turn can relieve cramping, nausea, and bloating.

So why Essential oils? Achieving a healthy lifestyle doesn’t only mean adjusting your diet and exercise, but who doesn’t love a quick 7-minute workout to get you to the goals you crave endlessly? Essential oils are a way of life and turning to all-natural supplements has helped heal me from the inside out. To clarify, Essential oils are only for topical use and may not be safe to consume. Doing so may cause significant poisoning even if small amounts are ingested. However, these oils can be used in many other ways like being diffused, rubbed on your pillow, or applied to your temples, wrists, and feet! Try it for yourself and discover the never-ending benefits Essential oils have to offer!
