For the past three years I’ve been diving further and further into natural living. I was raised in a home where we used medications if necessary and I didn’t know that there was anything different. My first encounter with the “natural” world was after I got married and my Mother-In-Law started talking about herbs, and salves, and our bodies building up toxins…I thought she was crazy! It wasn’t until I was pregnant with our third child that I started looking at what was on the labels of products. All of a sudden I realized that I needed to be careful what ingredients I put into my body.

For me, the journey to natural living really started when a friend suggested I use essential oils for the illnesses my then 4 year old son had been dealing with his whole life. I didn’t even know what essential oils were but I noticed that he loved to have lemon essential oil applied to the bottom of his feet when he was at her house. I purchase a book called Modern Essentials to learn more about what they were, how to use them, and what they might help with. I was shocked by the list of ailments and health concerns that the books said essential oils could help with. Shocked! I would run to my husband, book in hand, flip open a page and say “Look at this! It says that these oils can help with ____ (fill in the blank)”. After doing that for the umpteenth time he finally said “Maybe we should get some and try them out.” I was still a little skeptical but I knew the Dr.’s offered my son no answers or solutions and I was desperate to find a solution for him. I bought a  kit of essential oils and the rest is history. What they did for my son is nothing short of miraculous. If I hadn’t lived with his illnesses for four years I probably wouldn’t even remember what it was like because the contrast now is so different.

From that point we started being more aware of the natural world and wanted to explore what other things we were missing out on. Along our journey I started seeing research pop up about medications and recalls and side effects and I became more and more leery of the medications. I wanted to know really what it was about them that made them so dangerous. What I discovered was the difference between natural compounds found in plants and synthetic ones that are created in laboratories.

What Does Synthetic Mean?

In the Oxford Dictionary the definition of synthetic is ‘made by chemical synthesis, esp. to imitate a natural product’. What happens most often in the medical and pharmaceutical industries is that they will discover something in nature that offers a health benefit. Take methyl salicylate for example which can be found in wintergreen essential oil. It also happens to be a primary ingredient in the sports cream, BenGay. Since you can’t patent a natural compound, most pharmaceutical companies will recreate the compound synthetically and add it to their medications.

What is the Problem With Synthetic Substances?

The easy answer? They aren’t natural and shouldn’t be put into our bodies. Here’s why…

Quenching. Wintergreen oil contains many other compounds besides methyl salicylate and these additional compounds work in a way that mitigates the natural methyl salicylate and helps to make it safe. This is a process sometimes known as “quenching”, where one or more compounds in an oil or substance help tame the possible nasty effects of another compound in the oil.

Isomeric shape. The molecules of natural methyl salicylate have a specific isomeric shape while laboratory-produced methyl salicylate can have up to 19 different shapes. Why is this important? The shape of a molecule determines which receptor sites on cell membranes can be opened, hence the organs and human tissues affected by a synthetic variant are not all the same as those affected by the natural version.

Differing vibrational energy fields. Over a year ago, I first touched on the subject of energy and frequency of natural substances, essential oils and foods. Natural essential oils and substances will harmonise with our bodies energetically as well as chemically. At the beginning of this post, I quoted Dr David Stewart: Synthetic substances have energy fields that share the same intelligence as robots. Natural substances on the other hand have energy fields that express discriminatory intelligence. The intelligent life force is a topic that comes up often in discussions of quantum physics.

Let’s take the example of arsenic, an element which if allowed to accumulate in our bodies is ultimately lethal to us. Now there are traces of arsenic in our soils and in the foods we eat and yet over a lifetime we don’t accumulate enough of arsenic in our bodies to die. Why? The reason is that when arsenic has passed through a living process before we ingest it, it acquires a vibration that allows us to pass it through harmlessly. So our body is able to metabolise organic sources of arsenic and eliminate it from our system before it can accumulate. However if you try the same with arsenic that’s come out of a laboratory or factory, you will eventually accumulate it to the point where you sicken and die.

After giving your feet a nice soak follow it up with this amazing scrub. The thing that I love about this scrub is that you don’t have to moisturize your feet afterwards. The coconut oil in it is perfect for keeping your feet nice and soft.

Ingredients:

• ½ C Raw Sugar

• ½ C Epsom Salt

• ½ C Coconut Oil

• 10-15 Drops Essential Oil

Mix all the ingredients together and store in a container. The coconut oil may harden. If it does you may need a spoon to get the mix out. It quickly melts in your hand though when you work it over your feet. I love using this because I don’t need to use a foot cream afterwards. It leaves your feet feeling amazing!

Possible Essential Oil Combinations:

• Peppermint & Citrus Oil

• Lavender & Lemon

• Citrus Bliss

• Elevation

• Bergamot & Sandalwood

This scrub can also double as a body scrub.
