Essential Oils provide key components of the immune systems for plants, and play a similar role in the human body.

They protect plants from viral infection, from bacterial infections, keep unwanted insects away, repair plant injuries and even prevent water loss and other environmental damage. They also help in plant pollination and in delivering oxygen and nutrients into the cells. This is why they’re essential for plants. Plants couldn’t survive without them, and they help the plants grow, adjust to their surroundings and continue to evolve.

In the human body: The essential oils do something very similar - they transport nutrients to the cells, such as carbon, hydrogen and oxygen which are common to human beings and essential oils.

Research has shown that essential oils help us fight infection (with anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties), balance hormones and emotions and aid in regeneration. Essential oils and their fragrances help the brain by stimulating memory and reviving the mind, body and soul.

Essential oils are the natural, highly concentrated essences extracted from specific herbs in their living state for their healing capabilities. Essential oils can be derived from plants, shrubs, flowers, grasses, fruits, bushes, seeds, roots, bark and trees.

It is worth testing the essential oil before applying a large amount because people have allergic reactions to many different substances, including essential oils. Blend 1 drop of essential oil with about 10 drops of a base oil such as coconut oil and apply to the inside of your forearm. If your skin turns red, please do not use this essential oil.

Our experts are available to guide you every step of the way, from choosing what oils are best for you, and how to best use them.

Being that everyone is different, the best oils for each individual will depend upon which of the following systems are out of balance:

Nervous system
Muscular System
Digestive System
Immune system
Endocrine System

LaCura Oils are designed to support all of these areas where the body can fall out of balance. The key is to find which particular area is the most out of balance in your system and that’s where to start.

Essential oils can be absorbed into the body in a few ways.

Topical Application Essential oils pass through skin and cell membranes easily, because they are fat soluble.. LaCura Oils are safe for topical application right on your skin and are rapidly absorbed into the body. The oils can also be applied to the bottom of the feet as the thick skin on the soles of our feet are unlikely to produce skin irritations and the numerous nerve endings on the feet can help carry the oils into the bloodstream quickly. For treatment of a specific area such as sore muscles, a burn or wound, or a rash, apply the oils directly on the problem spot. Additionally, the base of the throat is a good place to apply the oils as well as the neck.,

Inhalation Research has shown that inhalation of essential oils links directly to the brain; particularly in regard to hormonal control and emotional regulation. For aromatic usage, simply hold the bottle under your nose for 3 or 4 breaths. You can also put a drop of oil on a cotton ball that you place in your pillow case before bed.

Internal Consumption

LaCura offers blends and single oils safe for internal use. Using the oils for internal purposes means that you go beyond putting them on your skin to ingest them for their specific benefits to various organs or cells. There are several ways to take oils internally; you can add them in your food, take them in beverages, or put them in a veggie capsule to swallow.

Using oils internally is a method that is best used only when you have a specific area of concern that can only be met by ingesting the essential oil. Keep in mind that you only need a drop or two at a time to reap the benefits of the oil.

The main reasons why you would use an essential oil internally:

To support the immune system and its function
To aid in the normal digestive process
For supporting the health of the respiratory system
Calms or supports the nervous system
To obtain antioxidants to protect against free radical damage
