Have you ever asked yourself why there is such disparity in price among natural skin care products and plant oils?
Probably you have based a certain amount of trust in the idea that the more expensive organic health products are, the better the quality and the better they are for you.
Which makes sense. But. Do you really understand why?
Probably you would want to know that when you economize on quality it might not simply be a matter of purchasing lesser therapeutic strength.
The truth is that even the most beneficial plants can produce oils that are harmful to your body when not processed and handled with sufficient care and attention to detail.
Known as the ‘Fat Guru‘, Dr. Udo Erasmus is a person who has become famous for ground-breaking research into nutrition. Author of “Fats That Heal Fats That Kill”, and largely responsible for bringing the words Omega 3 and Omega 6 into everyday conversation, Erasmus tell us that the most beneficial fats in oils are destroyed by light, air and heat, and that mass marketing production techniques are changing natural, healthy oils into an end product that is unnatural and even toxic.
Basically, heat processing produces greater quantities of oils more quickly but it also alters the molecules of the otherwise good fats within to become toxic and health-threatening.
While Erasmus is principally concerned with dietary information, the good essential fatty acids that are so crucial to a healthful diet are equally significant when absorbed by the body via carrier oils.
Our skin and body: muscles, energy, mood, immunity, hormone and repair systems… can all receive a direct dose of these elemental foods through a quality body oil.
Let’s take Sweet Almond oil as a case in point. A popular carrier oil in natural skin care and aromatherapy known to be rich in essential nutrients and fats. Always and without exception, an organic or healthful wild plant will produce a substance most compatible with the body’s natural composition.
So, you have your organic almonds. The whole ones are sold whole. Broken nuts are basically placed into a press to squash out the oil.

Do you still have trouble realizing the lifestyle changes that you know would be better for you?
Does it seem nigh on impossible sometimes to get any further than the very basic day to day challenges, let alone find time to nurture inner peace or healthy balance?
The reality is that as we all wake up to the greater potential for wellbeing from more wholesome choices, we still have to start from where we find ourselves. We have ingrained habits, addictions, psychological and emotional attachments. Not to mention deep rooted fear of change itself.
But… we can start with the easy choices: a few dollars more at the check-out to support green and organic consumption; a conscious effort to enjoy healthy, creative and energetic pursuits at least sometimes; getting an early night occasionally… And, probably the most important step of all, we can establish our intent.
It doesn’t have to be a public declaration. In fact. More the opposite. Something like a simple inner confession of the desire for changes… a silent prayer to oneself. Not your typical new year’s resolution where we set ourselves up for failure by believing that change comes as a result of sheer will-power. Because whatever it is that motivates us to make short-term, unhealthy choices is very often sub-conscious.
How can we make effective conscious decisions when we are not fully conscious of our motives?
There is a small book by someone called Allen Carr called ‘The Easy Way to Stop Smoking’. His method of helping people to become non-smokers is indisputably powerful, with something like a 90% success rate.
It is revolutionary and simple. No willpower involved. And definitely no preaching. Simply a process of awareness motivated by a deep desire for change. A person is encouraged to continue smoking throughout the process but by the end of the book many people will actually, voluntarily and without struggle or sacrifice, become non-smokers.
The intrinsic wisdom is profound: If we can simply observe ourselves with compassionate non-judgment to become familiar with the triggers and the patterns that hold us where we are, we can slowly begin to identify the pivotal moments where the power of free-choice is ours for the taking.

Who really feels good about taking prescribed medicine with a whole page of small print on possible side effects?
What exactly is it about the modern medical process that so often leaves us feeling diminished and belittled?
Important questions, no?
But. If we step outside the box to invite a wider perspective of health and wellbeing into holistic healthcare – one that does not separate thoughts and feelings from the equation – there is a wealth of illuminating material offering answers that completely overshadow such questions.
In his bestselling book, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, Dr. Gabor Maté MD reminds us that traditional medicines around the world have never separated the mind body connection… but that it has taken scientific medicine basically 2000 years to catch up and prove how emotional centers in the brain, responsible for responses and reactions, are indisputably linked with the physiological systems in the body: the immune system, the nervous system and the hormonal apparatus.
Which helps to explain why, as we awaken to a growing consciousness of the limitations of ‘modern’ medicine, it is the ancient healing wisdoms that are rising to the fore.
Chakra healing is the traditional wisdom practice based on the seven principle energy centers in the body that generate and connect energy flow, from the base of the body to the crown, in increasingly high levels of vibration. Each energy center corresponds to a particular area of human psyche and is connected with specific physiological functions.

Who hasn’t heard the horror stories about routine flu vaccinations provoking extreme and even fatal illness? If you haven’t, a quick 5 minutes on Google will soon bring you up to date.
On the other hand, who isn’t scared by the media frenzy that broadcasts the endemic or even pandemic effects of our increasingly evolved and resistant flu viruses?
Well, take a deep breath.
And let it out slowly.
Because there is a fundamental something you might miss if your brain is still looping out on the hype… vaccination arguments aside… it is a scientific fact that fear can cause sickness, and that sustainable health and wellbeing rests in balance and calm.
The truth is, there is much we can do to protect ourselves against any kind of disease, viral or otherwise, simply by developing a deeper understanding of our integral mind/body balance and innate healthy process.
There is a general wisdom shared by many sensible people in the natural health community that sickness is not something to be avoided. But rather something to be embraced as an integral part of our reality that can teach us and make us stronger in body, mind and spirit.
In ancient chakra healing, it is specifically respiratory illness that is connected to blocked heart energy. The heart… that affects our ability to love ourselves and others, to give and to receive love.
Is that significant?

It may be stating the obvious, but have you noticed that while a caffeine-charged drink may chase away the yawns, there is a significant sacrifice involved because you end up feeling less than balanced and generally more edgy?
Compare that to the possibility of a sustainable state of vitality and natural body health, and the pay off certainly seems a little out of whack.
So, we know: nice brisk walk out in the fresh air will always be a better proposition than yet another espresso. But, failing that, how about a concentrated blend of pure plant extracts, especially formulated to wake up the senses in collaboration with healthy body process?
Natural science experts at Absolute Essential have been doing some amazing work with essential oil synergies that yield impressive results, not least because the desired effects are promoted on a molecular level for integral benefit.

Enjoy the balancing, calming effect of exceptional medicinal plants
If we can recognise that stress is basically an overload on our capacity for healthy function, is it fair to say that society at large has accepted modern living as a dysfunctional status quo? We talk about stress so casually these days that it would seem so.
Physical stress can be seen to manifest as psychological or emotional imbalance, psychological and emotional stress develops into physical illness. Whichever way you look at it, the integral balance of our general welfare is already so seriously compromised that ‘stress’ has arguably become an established norm.

Stress Less is made from the pure essential oils of exceptional quality medicinal plants and carries specific properties to assist our internal balance of energy and calm.
