The Essential Oil Institute Webnair by Dr Axe
Description
The ad first promotes a workshop where the person behind the name, Dr. Josh Ax, will talk about the best essential oils for natural healing.
This curious topic appears a little later in the seminar, which begins first with a general background and history of essential oils. Dr. AKC explains how most modern medicines are actually made from essential oils. Synthetic medicines are considered toxic, in contrast to essential oils, which, in contrast, are classified as natural and delicate. Then we hear that essential oils are mentioned over 300 times in the Bible.
None of this is reliably accurate.
Firstly, these are medicinal herbs as a whole plant, which contain components not found in the aromatic oil of the plant, which have influenced modern medicine in the described way. Pharmaceutical companies continue to buy all plant material for drug production.
Further, both synthetic and natural medicines can be toxic, and adverse side effects are the risk of using both. Since essential oils are pure, undiluted, concentrated extracts of herbal aromatic oils, this is not an impossible consideration. And since some essential oils, such as lemon and orange, are used industrially as a degreaser and paint thinner, this is not a point to be missing from a general informational presentation aimed at new users of essential oils.
Finally, while references to herbs, anointing oils, incense, and infused oils can be found in biblical passages, none of them are the pure, concentrated essential oils discussed in this workshop. It is said that Jesus received frankincense and myrrh, but these are resins obtained from tree sap, not extracted aromatic oils from the plant.
Why did the sages give aromatic resins instead of essential oils? Before comparing quality, ability, and capability, a brief history lesson reveals that their capabilities were likely limited and their decision might have been forced. Since the equipment and solvents needed to distill essential oils from plants were a product of the Middle Ages, it seems the wise men did the best they could with what they had — gifts worthy of a king, even by today’s standards.
The century-and-a-half inconsistency between the biblical stories and the beginning of pure, pure extraction of essential oil is also the reason why essential oils are not mentioned at all in the Bible. The idea that they are a popular myth is spread by high-profile, heavily involved in essential oil marketing, affiliates with professional titles selling books printed by the marketing company’s associate publisher. I have found that this deceptive connection between essential oils and the Bible is almost always associated with a product available for purchase from two wildly popular marketing companies, Young Living or doTerra.
At the moment the webinar is less than 5 minutes long and the doctor ax is 0 to 3.
DOCTOR AX DISCUSSES THE BEST ESSENTIAL OILS FOR NATURAL HEALING
As promised, Dr. AKC is really turning the conversation towards the best essential oils for natural healing. The healing properties of some of the most readily available, best-selling essential oils on the market are introduced by describing a combination of health benefits found in whole herbal preparations, including essential oils. However, the difference in which benefits are exclusive to essential oils is not clearly defined.
The Ax seminar discusses the use of essential oils such as lavender to treat skin conditions, which is an appropriate detail for the topic at hand. Some generalized concepts then come up, such as lemon for sore throat and peppermint for IBS, leaving audiences wondering if the more familiar, more economical, and more affordable plant parts on their own might offer comparable benefits. Antimicrobial tea tree essential oil is discussed using part of its Latin name “maleleuca,” a popular nickname for tea tree oil among direct sellers.
Ambiguous details continue to follow regarding the benefits of various herbal preparations, using terms that can be interpreted in different ways. For example, both “oregano oil” and “frankincense oil” are mentioned, terms that can be used to refer to either a whole herbal infusion or an essential oil of a plant. Understanding that they are not the same product is critical as they differ in strength, composition, and therefore capabilities.
Then directions are suggested based on this unclear terminology. For example, rubbing “oregano oil” on the feet to boost immunity is recommended — an application promoted by trade companies that has proven to provide no benefit other than aromatherapy by both aromatherapists and reflexologists. Again, this vague wording could refer either to an infusion of oregano leaves in olive oil suitable for cooking (more specifically called “oil infused with oregano”) or to a much more concentrated “essential oil of oregano” which is a known irritant and should be accounted for as such, especially when applied to young or sensitive people.
