SUMMARY KEYWORDS essential oils, oils, fennel, frankincense, carrot seed, burning, eyes, tree, laurel leaf, health, clarity, talk, carrier oil, essences, antiviral, smell, hot, put, holistic, improve Hello, everyone, it’s Dr. Sam, I’d like to welcome you to my EyeClarity podcast. This is a show that offers cutting-edge information on how to improve your vision and overall wellness through holistic methods. I so appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If you have questions, you can send them to [email protected]. Now to the latest EyeClarity episode. Alright, I want to talk about the word adaptogenic you see it here adaptogen. This means that based on what's going on in your body, the essential oil is going to bring you a set of balance and harmony based on what you need. And so tonight, you know we've got a full group of people, each person is dealing with a different aspect in health and wellness. So when you use the essential oils, it's going to work individually based on what you need. And with the Laurel leaf, which is one of the oils you have in your that I recommended, it has something in it call it's hydrophilic which means that what you can do with this Laurel leaf is you can put a couple of drops on the lymphatic area like around the neck, the heart and then take a shower or a bath and the water pushes the essential oil more deeply into your body. So this is a way that you can actually get more or more amplification of the benefits of the essential oil. Now you would only want to do this with certain essential oils because some oils are really hot. And I'm going to talk about how you use those very differently than say the middle-of-the-road essential oils like lavender or Laurel leaf or Frankincense. But there are ways that you can use hot essential oils like coal essential oils so that you don't burn yourself. A lot of Kima types so I'm going to move on here. There's a new nutritive value to all the essential oils they have vitamins minerals, you know, for example, we've got the tree essences like cedar woods in the furs, very grounding the citruses which are very uplifting. The Eucalyptus is which are helpful for respiratory and immune health. Ginger, which is great for your digestion. So a lot of versatility in these oils. Now I want to say that not all oils are antiviral or antifungal or break the blood-brain barrier. Here is a list of antiviral essences so lemon or lemongrass, the sages rosemary, cinnamon bark, oh my goodness, that's an amazing, so hot essential oil. But you can put a little bit on your tongue or get a hot mug of water and put a couple of drops of cinnamon bark in the young mountain to save you savory. So there's a lot of this is a long list of essential oils that are antiviral, if you want to go that direction as a prophylactic to improve your health. Now some of the essential oils are created by the flowers. Some of them are created by the leaves. Some of them are created by the furs, some of them by the peel. So you want to know well where is this essential oil coming from? Because where it comes from, is going to speak to how it's going to inform you. Let me give you an example. Let's say we compare the jasmine essential oil with say the for tree and maybe we're even using like ponderosa pine as an example, that's a pine tree but we could use you know maybe like a Tamarack or something in the tree family spruce. There's a big difference.
