For the past several weeks, we’ve been discussing how essential oils can be used to shield us from the damaging effects of the ubiquitous chemicals present in our environment. These dangerous compounds have been linked to negative bodily symptoms and can increase our risk for chronic diseases.
The awareness of these various detrimental substances can be overwhelming, but it can also be empowering. Knowing what to avoid can help us to make healthier choices. We can also take steps to protect us from their negative impacts by incorporating these natural, aromatic allies into our lifestyle practices.
In the first post of the series, I shared how the multiple actions of essential oils can safeguard our wellness from these harmful substances. They are anti-inflammatory, hormone balancing, stress-relieving, mood supporting, antimicrobial, a digestive aid, and antioxidants (cellular protectors).
Next, I reviewed how to use essential oils to safely keep our homes clean, decrease chemical exposure, and boost our health. This was through incorporating them into our sanitizing products, personalized scent signatures, and perfumes.
In my latest video post, I review the third way essential oils can support detoxification and cleansing. This is by their direct ability to impact the process of detoxification through acting as antioxidants, metal chelators, anti-inflammatory agents, and cellular signaling molecules.
Topics include:
- How essential oils improve health and defend us from harm
- How essential oils act as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents
- Several essential oils that enhance detoxification enzymes and help to chelate heavy metals
- How essential oils influence cellular function and prevent disease
- Applications for using essential oils to aid detoxification

In an upcoming blog in this series, we’ll discuss the fourth and final way essential oils enhance our resiliency for living in a contaminated world. This is in relation to their ability to calm our mind-body and balance our nervous system.
Thank you so much for taking the time to learn how to nurture your mind, body, heart, and soul.
