Many people are unaware that essential oils have been around for thousands
of years. In fact, they are known to be some of the oldest and most powerful
substances on earth!
 |
| Each unique oil contains its own distinctive mix of active ingredients that help to communicate with the body and brain to create beneficial effects. |
Ancient civilizations from Rome to
China used them in perfumes and
ancient medicines. They were even
commonly used for spiritual and
ritualistic purposes. Hieroglyphics
containing oil blend recipes have been
found on the walls of Egyptian temples
and some well-preserved oils were even
found in alabaster jars in King Tut’s tomb.
Over time, most of the ancient
traditional uses of essential oils were
forgotten. It was not until the early 20th
century that people began to rediscover
them. Today, modern scientists are only
beginning to uncover the countless
benefits that essential oils have to offer.
Essential oils are concentrated, aromatic
liquids extracted through distillation
from the flowers, leaves, and roots of
herbs, shrubs and trees. Every unique
oil contains its own mix of active
ingredients and constituents. Each
different type of essential oil mix has its
own therapeutic property.
Modern research is now beginning to
understand how essential oils actually
work. Several studies have reviewed
how our sense of smell may play a
role. The “smell” receptors located in
the back of the nasal cavity (known
as the olfactory system), are linked
directly to the limbic system in the
brain. The receptors signal the brain
to control levels of neurotransmitters
such as serotonin and dopamine. By
communicating directly with these
parts of the brain, the essential oils may influence physical, emotional and
mental health. For example, scientists
believe that lavender stimulates activity
in brain cells to promote relaxation.
The active components are critical
aspects of the oil, and can be affected
by a vast number of variables. Some
factors include: the part(s) of the plant
from which the oil was produced, soil
condition, geographical region, climate,
altitude, harvest season, fertilizer and
distillation process.
Forever Living Products has worked
with a team of leading scientists,
farmers, aromatherapists and botanists,
and has traveled around the world
to find and source nature’s purest
botanical essences.
Forever™ Essential Oils are selected,
harvested and produced with the
highest quality in mind. Mineral
content, climate and sustainability
are all considered when choosing a location to source the plants that
become Forever™ Essential Oils. After
harvesting, essential oils are extracted
from carefully chosen crops, primarily
using steam distillation and cold
pressing. The selected portion of the
plant, and extraction techniques used
are unique to each type of essential oil.
To ensure the quality of each product,
every batch of essential oil undergoes
a thorough evaluation. Teams with
years of experience growing, cultivating
and producing essential oils examine
each plant at the time of harvest and
throughout the distillation process,
using organoleptic verification and
other physical characteristic tests
to confirm the quality of the oils. In
addition, a lab analysis, using gas
chromatography coupled with a mass
spectrometer, is performed to evaluate
and confirm that the active components
of the oil are present. Our defined
processes help ensure that every batch
of essential oils meets the quality and
potency required by Forever.
Forever Living Products brings the
power of nature to the palm of your
hand. Breathe in the natural invigoration
of Forever Essential Oils and benefit

THE POWER
OF SMELL
From Incentive the time you smell something until
your body naturally reacts is almost
instantaneous, showing you just
how powerful the sense of
smell is. Let’s take a look at
the science behind this
amazing reaction
in your body.
- TAKE A DEEP BREATH
When we inhale, olfactory
receptor cells in the nasal cavity
send electrical impulses to the
olfactory bulb, which then
passes information on to the
limbic system in the brain.
- LIMBIC SYSTEM
Often referred to emotional
part of brain. Made up of several
parts, including hippocampus and
amgydala. Controls memory and
mood. Can evoke emotion
and physical response
almost instantly.
- OUR BODY’S REACTION
Smells cause a physiological
response in the body. Thanks to
the link between smell and
memory, a scent could evoke
feelings of comfort; other scents
could make you feel more alert.
This triggers the brain to release
natural chemicals into the body
that can make us feel calm, relaxed,
invigorated, energized or refreshed.
The smell and your brain’s
association with it will determine
how your body responds.
Anytime you encounter a new
scent, you associate it with your
surroundings: people, places or
events. Then when you smell that
again, it automatically evokes that
first event, triggering a memory,
mood or feeling.
