“The chemical structure that chemists and pharmacists get to create the drugs that we use today are from nature. These are the chemicals in plants, these are the essential oils” says Dr. Eric Zielinkski, author of The Essential Oil Apothecary.  Dr. Zielinski explains that many people are too quick to write off essential oils as pseudoscience, when there is actually an abundance of scientific evidence proving that they are a key contributor to our health and wellbeing.

Unfortunately, there has been widespread misinformation regarding essential oils and their proper use in recent years. Because MLMs have sent out thousands of people who, despite being well-intentioned, are not in the medical or aromatherapy fields, essential oils have been largely discredited. However, it is important to recognize that essential oils actually serve as the foundation of most modern-day medicines! Dr. Zielinski’s mission is to help people explore the ways in which essential oils can alleviate symptoms of everything from stress to inflammation to chronic diseases and more to better their day-to-day lives.

Tune into this week’s episode of Beyond the Basics Health Academy for a conversation with Dr. Eric Zielinski about the healing powers contained within essential oils. Learn about the common myths surrounding essential oils, how they positively impact the brain, and how to safely and effectively use them in your everyday life.
