*Please note, many individual essential oils are inherently detoxifying owing to their antioxidant activities. This means that using Bath & Body Oils, facial oils and any other essential oil blend containing antioxidant oils, is going to stimulate detoxification processes.
Our skin is the largest organ of the body, and we actually eliminate c. 40% of our body waste through our skin. So, using topical oils, that contain antioxidant essential oils, will help facilitate better levels of detoxification through the skin.
However, research has shown that essential oils are found in our blood within minutes of application, and in our urine after another surprisingly short period of time: c. 2 hours.
This means that the antioxidant activity and other benefits of essential oils are supporting detoxification at a systemic level.
There is one particular Wild As The Wind Essential Oil Blend that has been blended with antioxidant activity in mind: Sun Tanning Essential Oil Blend.
Sunburn has been found to be an oxidative process, so using Sun Tanning Essential Oil Blend in conjunction with sun protective antioxidant carrier oils (that have been shown to provide added protection when we are exposed to the sun), can potentially reduce the risk of sunburn and extend the amount of time that we can safely stay in the sun.
Digestive Health
Castor Oil Compress – for constipation.
Vitamins & Minerals
Several vitamins and minerals must be taken together to avoid excesses and deficiencies in these constituents. Any excess or deficiency will compromise our health and immunity severely, and so must be avoided at all costs.
Where you see a vitamin or mineral coupled with a corresponding vitamin or mineral in the list below, this is because there is a co-dependency for the coupled items.
Shilajit For Digestive Health – Shilajit is a mineral-rich compound that supports digestive, hormonal and immune health.
