essential oils versus antibiotics
Please Note: I’m not smart enough to know all these things…these are notes I compiled while researching…
essential oils are anti-bacterial
Essential oils all help the physical body in a variety of ways, and they certainly present an interesting, and viable alternative to antibiotic drugs. The therapeutic bio-chemicals within essential oils are among the most potent healing substances known to man. Their anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-infectious, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, anti-microbial anti-neuralgic, anti-rheumatic, immune-stimulating qualities are without equal in the world of medicine and healing.
antibiotics
Antibiotics have no effect on viruses. When they are effective, it is only against bacteria. Antibiotics kill off everything indiscriminately, unable to tell one bacteria from another. They are microscopic killing machines, programmed to seek out bacteria without discrimination. In other words, they are brainless robots. They are made by fallible men.
aromatic oils
Aromatic oils know the difference between the bacteria we need and the hostile invaders. They kill off only the invaders, leaving the friendly flora intact. They are made by our infallible God and imbued with his benevolent intelligence. When we use antibiotics to overcome a bacterial infection, we are left in a weakened state. Our immune systems have been compromised. Until we can re-establish a new culture of friendly bacteria in our bodies, we are more susceptible to the next illness that comes along.
side effects of pharmaceuticals
Antibiotics can sometimes work faster than oils in making the symptoms of a present disease disappear, but in the long run, they will also do you harm…always. There are no effective drugs without negative side effects.
positive side effects of essential oils
But when oils, herbs and other medicines created by God are used, there are usually no negative side effects. In fact, sometimes when you address one medical problem–such as cancer–using natural means, the side effects may be that another condition–like diabetes–disappears as well. Or when one uses various oils to deal with emotional conditions–such as depression–another ailment–like arthritis–may be relieved as an unexpected side effect. Such are the blessings of using medicine created by God instead of the false medicines manufactured by man.
antibiotics may save your life
This is not saying there is no place for antibiotics. When a genuine medical emergency exists and the threat of death is near, a shot of antibiotics may save your life when the use of oils might act too slowly. But their benefits are only temporary. True healing, which would be in the form of a strengthened immune system, must come from another source.
Sickness is sometimes perceived as something unfortunate and undesirable, and yet often, especially in acute disease, it is a manifestation of the body’s attempt to restore health and harmony. Chemical drugs tend to bypass the natural healing force within the body, rather than working in harmony with it. Antibiotics are a prime example, killing off many harmless and useful bacteria, as well as those which are harmful.
essential oils stimulate healing
Essential oils can be used to suppress infection, in a similar way to antibiotics. It is not known exactly how they inhibit the growth of bacteria, but they do not have the unfortunate side effects of antibiotics, because of their organic nature. Unlike chemical drugs they actually stimulate the natural healing force. This is demonstrated by the fact that a relatively small amount of essence, even applied externally, is able to rid the body of infection. In orthodox medical terms such a quantity would not be sufficient to dispose of the infection.
bacteria not resistant to essential oils
Pathogenic microorganisms like bacteria and viruses do not become resistant to essential oils, as they do modern-day synthetic antibiotic drugs. And, unlike many of today’s most popular antiseptic chemicals, essential oils do not harm human tissue. Wounds of all types appear to heal quicker when treated with essential oils. Skin diseases like psoriasis disappear quickly using essential oils.
