About Essential Oils

Welcome to our information page on using essential oils. Dr. Beverly believes in the powerful synergy that arises when the healing properties of essential oils are combined with the ancient wisdom of acupuncture/pressure. Visit the Dancing Bear Healing Center Essential Oils Page if you are interested in treatments with Acupuncture and/or Acupressure.

Essential oils, are obtained from aromatic plants, carry potent therapeutic properties that can complement and enhance the effects of other holistic therapies. When carefully selected and applied, these oils can support the body's healing process, promote relaxation, and restore balance to the soul, mind, and body.

Additionally, removing toxic personal care and cleaning products from your environment and life will help to keep you healthy and the toxins away from you, your family, and your pets.

Dr. Beverly is knowledgeable in both the art and science of essential oil selection and application. In the Essential Oils Master Program, she will guide you to know what you need to begin using essential oils in a healthy manner to either supplement your own holistic healing practice, make Essential Oil products, or to just help you live a healthier life.

Essential Oil Master Class

A 6-week Essential Oil master class is available in the APP as an Evergreen course to get you started on your journey with using Essential Oils. There are two aspects of learning this holistic healing art. The actual Essential Oils themselves and the use of carrier oils both therapeutically and as aromatherapy.

• Are you interested in Essential Oils for Self-healing?
• Do you have a specific issue such as stress, insomnia, weight management, etc.?
• Do you want a healthier environment for cleaning, gardening, personal care, and/or pets?

 

If you answered yes to any of the above, then this program is for you!

Essential Oils versus Aromatherapy

Essential oils are the aromatic plants that are used. Aromatherapy is the use of the aromatic plants in various ways be it therapeutically or in DIY projects. An overview of this will be covered. Only selected oils will be discussed in detail in each section of the course. It takes many years to memorize all the many oils and their uses. A good reverence or Smartphone APP will provide this information as needed.

It is more important to know how to dilute oils, the contraindications for adults, children, pets. When and how to take internally versus topically versus through inhalation, etc.

We will cover shelf-life before and after use in a product and how to extend the life of what you create. We will suggest ways to create premade blends to make use then later to save you time, as well as other tricks Dr. Beverly has learned over the years.

Carrier Oils & Bending Oils

We will cover the various carrier oils and how to use them in DIY projects. Since only a few essential oils can be used directly on the skin the use of a carrier in many cases is a must. Even if ingested you will need to use a carrier oil such as olive oil in a capsule. This will be covered as well.

We will also cover dilution percentages as well as how to know how many drops of each essential oil you need to use in your project, whatever it is for. It is important to know which oils blend well, which do not blend well with each other and to ensure that what you make is not too potent or too diluted for the effect you are trying to achieve.

Type of Essential Oil Dispensing Options

We will cover the various ways Essential Oils can be dispensed, i.e., diffusion, sprays, creams, solids, inhalers, roll-ons, pumps and more. We will also discuss why you might choose one method over another.

We will also show you various places on the body to apply the oils to achieve specific therapeutic effects. Not just what oil to use but the best way to apply the oil or blend, where to apply it, and how to apply it for specific effects such as insomnia, pain, stress, and similar issues.

Spiritual and Emotional Aspects of Essential Oils

This part of the program will cover both the Wǔ Xing and Wǔ Shen aspect of using the oils for healing. Wǔ in Mandarin is five (5). Together they mean Five Phases or Five Agents as the 5-elements used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) of which acupuncture is part and parcel. Wǔ Shen (sometimes spelled as Wǔ Xin), as used in Taoist beliefs where "xing" means movement and transformation. Wǔ Shen is psycho-spiritual transformation. It is the Wǔ Shen of the 5-elements that we will focus on as our goal is not just to improve health and to live a healthy life but to transform our lives. The use of essential oils can do this when the elements are understood and who each of us are in our own unique way.

Support on Facebook & Registration
