Essential oils date back to more than 5,000 years ago. At one point they were used to treat virtually every ailment known to man. Essential oils are pure botanical extracts. Due to recent popularity, these natural oils have become more mainstream, and are seen everywhere. However, at The Natural Point, we only use 100% therapeutic grade botanical oil extracts. When these oils are coupled with acupuncture its effects are very relaxing and can intensify and lengthen the duration of the treatments.
Essential oils can pass through the blood brain barrier which is why they are so effective. Essential oils are lipid soluble which is why they can penetrate the blood brain barrier and have profound influence on the central nervous system. There is a wide variety of uses of these pure oils which can range from fighting bacterias and viruses, to hormone balancing and regulating emotions and stress.
Your clinician may use oils during your treatment. If you have any questions or concerns please make sure to speak to your Acupuncturist.
