Healing Natural OilsHealing natural oils, also known as essential oils, are usually not taken internally, however I will classify them as part nutrition and part bodywork due to their versatility. During a total body cleanse, or complete cleanse, toxins are being mobilized for removal from all body parts and tissues. They travel through the lymphatic or circulatory system while finding their way out of the body. These toxins (or by-products of dead toxins) may get lodged where there are spasms or blockages. The practitioner then may use the healing natural oils or essential oils, to assist in neutralizing or killing of toxins such as bacteria by directly applying them and massaging to work them in. Healing natural oils have been used for centuries for health and healing. Some may only be smelled while others are applied to the skin or even used internally. Although not traditionally considered part of a body cleansing program, I used them after years of skepticism. The results were beyond amazing, to say the least. Personally, I still use them for myself and my family. Healing natural oils are not just any pretty smelling oil. They are cultivated and specifically made for physical use. The only brands I will use are Young Living Essential Oils and if I cannot get those I may purchase a brand called NOW from my local health market. If you do purchase, use with care as not all may be applied topically, and the ones that do need to be seriously diluted. Lemon and lavender in particular are very beneficial while on a cleansing program. These were both traditionally used as anti-bacterials. Lavender has the added benefit and is known for its calming effect. Tea tree oil may be an excellent addition as a soap in the shower or to soak your feet throughout your cleanse. In traditional medicine, tea tree oil was used as an anti-fungal. Essential oils such as lavender, lemongrass, lemon, oregano, rose and tea tree oil have been used in traditional herbal medicine for thousands of years. They are recorded in the Bible for use as medicine and to protect against plague. I found these studies below interesting, especially as the organisms considered are seen a lot in holistic and alternative health centers. 
One of many studies recorded that oils such as lemongrass and oregano inhibited organisms including candida albicans, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serotype typhimurium, Serratia marcescens and Staphylococcus aureus, and also states “The antimicrobial activity of plant oils and extracts has been recognized for many years.”1Department of Microbiology, The University of Western Australia, and 2The Western Australian Centre for Pathology and Medical Research, Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre, Nedlands, Western Australia Another study from researchers at the Department of Research, Lombard, USA, the oil works by activating white blood cells, the body's first line of defense. Most pharmaceuticals are based on plants, the herbs to be exact. But now the healing natural oils of the plants are being recognized, as they should. However, just like the herbs, oils have no side effect. As with vitamin supplements and pharmaceuticals, these lab-altered versions will have side effects. So if you’re interested, try the real thing.
