What does it mean to be TOXIC?
Malnutrition is ONE of the things that can damage the DNA of our cells overtime. Now it’s time to talk about the SECOND thing that greatly affects cellular health and enhances damage: TOXICITY.
Toxins can be broken up into 3 categories: pathogens, chemicals, and radiation. The combined total of these 3 categories is referred to as our “toxic load.” Pathogens are bacteria, fungi, viruses or parasites that have entered the body somehow and are flourishing. Chemicals enter the body through our food, water, beverages, lungs, and skin. I read the average American is exposed to over 1,000 chemicals daily.
This may sound crazy but think of all the preservatives and artificial colorings in your food. What’s flying around in the air you breathe? What’s in your tap water? What chemicals are in your skin care, makeup, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, and hair care products? How about what are you cleaning your house with? Now there can be some doozy chemicals there. Do you wear gloves? Great. Do you wear a respirator? If you can smell a chemical, it has just entered your blood stream via the lungs. I have started holding my breath when I see I will be walking or driving thru smoke. Anything that touches your skin you just absorbed it. Last category of toxins is radiation. We have man-made radiation such as x-rays, MRIs, or CT scans; however, the most common daily radiation exposure is UV-A & UV-B from the sun.
The LIVER tries to keep up day after day of processing our toxins so they can be eliminated; however, the liver can get overloaded and then plan “B” must be implemented. Plan “B” is to store the toxins in our cells. One of the most common cells being our “fat” cells. The storage of toxins in our cells overtime can cause the cell membrane to harden. When the cell membrane hardens, nutrition cannot enter the cell to provide the cell its energy so the cell can carry out its function properly (it starts to starve.) And second fold, the waste products produced by the cellular activity inside the cell along with toxins that have entered the cell get trapped inside by the hardened cell membrane. This creates a “cesspool” inside the cell hindering healthy cellular function and causing dis-ease in your body.
4 ways essential oils help reduce your body’s overall toxic load?
- Essential oils are lipophilic “Rockstars.” They can penetrate our cells’ membranes easily. Not very many man-made substances can get inside our cells. All water-based substances are repelled by the cell membrane (oil and water do not mix.) Once they are inside they can give instruction to nutrition how to repair the cellular DNA so that when the cell duplicates, it duplicates a little healthier and that new cell will function a little bit better. With continued essential oil exposure and boosted nutrition, the cell will continue to get healthier and healthier with each duplication and finally the dis-ease in your body will start to subside and symptoms will disappear or diminish.
- Essential oils bring to our cells is they work on thinning the hardened cellular membrane so it becomes more permeable allowing trapped toxins inside to be released and more nutrition to get in. This detoxing of our cells is one way essential oils can help with weight release. The toxins in our fat cells is what makes the cell fluffy and big; thus, we are fluffy and big. Get the cell membrane healthy and permeable again; and, those toxins can be released. Resulting in making the overall size of the cell smaller; thus, making you smaller. A good example of hardened cellular membranes created by toxins and toxins captured in the cells is cellulite. Detoxing with essential oils you may not only notice weight release; but, your skin is noticeably smoother too especially in those problem areas such as our buttocks, inner thighs, and back of legs. Applying daily citrus and doTERRA’s Slim and Sassy proprietary essential oil blend topically can help target problem areas. Taking CPTG (Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade) essential oils internally works from the inside out where as applying topically works from the outside in.
- Essential oils help with toxicities by destroying pathogen cells (bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites) that are inside and outside our cells.
- Most essential oils have antioxidant qualities that surpass food sources that help neutralize oxidation created by radiation exposure.
