Essential Oils

Supporting your health with essential oils in Australia

Essential oils are not just pleasant aromas - they are biologically active substances. Their effect on the body is vast: from a positive impact on the psyche, mood and physical performance to an influence on the course of some common diseases and pathological processes. Considering their numerous benefits, essential oils can be valuable additions to standard medicine methods in treatment. 

Mr Vitamins offers a wide range of essential oils from top Australian and international brands. We guarantee the best prices- careful, ppl can take advantage of this and fast shipping across the country.

What is an essential oil? 

Essential oils are multicomponent aromatic volatile substances obtained from different parts of plants (flowers, seeds, roots, leaves and fruits). The intensity of the aroma and the characteristics of essential oils vary depending on the type of plant, its growing conditions and the oil production technology. 

Essential oils may affect the human body in different ways. They can calm or stimulate the nervous system, have antimicrobial and antiseptic properties and be antispasmodics or regenerate cells. 

A health-promoting effect of essential oils 

Essential oils affect the body in two ways. Due to its volatile nature, it can travel to the nasal cavity and be detected by special odour receptors. Signals from these receptors are transmitted to the brain and can affect the nervous system, hormonal levels, the immune system, emotional and physical state of a person and even improve sleep and memory. 

The second method of exposure to essential oils is contact. Through the blood vessels of the respiratory tract or during massage through the skin, oils can reach the blood and lymph and directly affect the body. 

Treatment of various diseases with essential oils 

Aromatherapy can be effective only when conditions are appropriate. Essential oils can be useful for the treatment of the following conditions: 

  • Colds. The most effective oils will be clove, fir, pine and eucalyptus, as well as lemon, basil and lavender. The last one also has a relaxing effect. 
  • ENT diseases. The main oils to help are fir, clove, sage, lemon and bergamot. 
  • Bronchitis. Acute bronchitis is treated exclusively according to the doctor's prescription, but mint, fir, pine, juniper, lavender and rosemary oils may help to improve the condition. 
  • Shortness of breath. By itself, shortness of breath is not a disease, but a concerning symptom. The use of tangerine, orange, cedar and pine oils can alleviate the condition. 
  • Coughing. Again, coughing is just a symptom, and it is important to treat the underlying cause. However, tea tree and eucalyptus oils can help relieve coughing. 

Oils have a detrimental effect on viruses, inhibit the development of microbes and relieve inflammation. However, to achieve the desired effect, it is necessary to clearly understand how each particular oil works. Also, they should only be used as a complement to the doctor's main treatment program. Be sure to consult your doctor before using oils. You can also learn more about health supplements on our blog and contact one of our practitioners for advice on what oils are best for you.

Essential oils contraindications 

Incorrect use of aromatherapy or insensitivity to its components can adversely affect your health. Before using the oil for the first time, it is advisable to apply a drop to the skin at the elbow crook and observe the reaction during the day. If there are no signs of allergy, then the oil is safe to use. 

Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions and use oils only as directed. Non-edible oils should not be taken internally, used in nebulizers, or applied to mucous membranes. In addition, essential oils should not be used by pregnant women or children under one year of age. Also, kids under the age of 6 should only be treated with kid-safe essential oils, like lavender, peppermint, citrus and ginger.
