She even went to talk about how PURE the SwissJust essential oils are when you compare them to others out in the marketplace. She came across a lady who had bought "Pure Eucalyptus Oil" from Whole Foods and how dissatisfied she was with it, so she didn't care to buy any from her. She told her to bring her bottle so they could compare.
So she did just that, the lady put a few drops on her hand and rubbed them together, and the speaker did the same with her SwissJust Eucalyptus oil.
They waited a few minutes and checked their hands. The lady that had put on the Whole Foods oil, still had oily hands and her hand smelled like petrolium, while the Speakers hands were completely dry! She went on to say how her hand smelled like Eucalyptus all day. This proves how PURE these oils are and how your skin absorbs them in a matter of minutes. Others out there have a lot of synthetics even though they say they are Pure Essential Oils.
Another thing that specifically stuck in my mind was when she talked about Peppermint. I thought peppermint was just good for toothpaste and gum...no sireee, I was wrooong....
Here's the rundown:
Native to Asia and Europe, mint has a strong menthol scent typical of many daily use products such as toothpaste, chewing gum and sweets. It has dark green leaves and its flowers vary between white, pink and violet. Peppermint essential oil is obtained through steam distillation and one needs 500 kg of blossomed plants to extract 0.5 kg of essential peppermint oil.
It soothes pain, relieves muscular spasms and reduces inflammation. It fights infections, clears and opens the respiratory tract and reduces fever. Peppermint oil also helps with digestion, clears the mind and stimulates concentration.
hmmm.. and then I found this in the Fan Page:
We just found an interesting study from Wheeling Jesuit University that links Peppermint to weight loss and reduction in hunger.

In the study, inhaling the scent of peppermint every couple of hours helped people eat less.
By the end of the 2-week study, the people ...who had sniffed peppermint every couple of hours during the day had also consumed fewer calories and eaten less fat, less saturated fat, and less sugar than the
nonsniffers did.
Bonus: Peppermint also reduces feelings of hunger.
And in my post below I also found out how beneficial to the brain peppermint is, especially if you suffer for ADD!
WOW, and you thought you knew it all, I am fascinated by what I find each and every day.....
