Essential oils are made up of amino acid structures. This is why they are synergistic, why they will penetrate the dermal shield (skin) so quickly, and will absorb into the system so effectively and fast.
By applying the oils to the skin, they will go into the system within 2-3 seconds and saturate the whole body in about 20 minutes (depending on the size of the body). The effects of the essential oils can last up to 5 months.
Because of their molecular structure, essential oils form an amino acid chain which bonds with proteins. This means that anytime you rub essential oils on your skin, drop them in your mouth, or use the dietary supplements (such as Young Living’s Multigreens or NingXia Red), the essential oil molecules are bonding with the proteins of the tissue they are in contact with.
Essential oils have a chemical structure that is similar to that found in human cells and tissues; thus making them compatible with human protein, which enables them to be readily identified and accepted by the body.
Because of their unique ability they can penetrate the cell membranes and diffuse throughout the blood and tissue. So in other words, the essential oils bond with protein molecules and therefore they enhance the protein absorption, protein conversion, and protein utilization.
Essential oils, without question, enhance your body’s ability to utilize the protein more efficiently and, by using essential oils, we are assisting the body to heal itself.
