Body Oils are ones of the oldest cosmetics known to mankind. Fragrant body oils were used in ancient Egypt. The Egyptians were renowned for their cosmetics preparation. The most popular were fragrant oils and ointments; they were used as emollients to soften the skin, and additionally as deodorants and perfumes. Body oils were also used by the people in ancient Rome and Greece; ancient Indians valued them too. Body oils were common in biblical times. According to Healing Oils of the Bible by David Stewart, "the Bible has as many as 1035 references to essential oils, and the plants that produce them."
There was a good reason why body oils were so highly prized - they were not only great moisturizers and skin softeners, but more importantly, body oils with essential oils could increase the frequency of the human body.
"Measurements on the human body found that a healthy person has a frequency around 62-68 MHz. When a person's frequency dips to 58 MHz, cold symptoms can manifest. Flu symptoms start at 57 MHz. Cancer can begin when the body falls below 42 MHz. The process of dying begins at 25 MHz and goes to zero at death." 1)
Essential oils have high frequencies - the highest of all substances. For example, Rose essential oil has 320 MHz; Lavender essential oil has 118 MHz; and Peppermint essential oil has 78 MHz. By applying body oils that contain essential oils we can increase our body's frequency.
In addition to the high frequencies that they contain, body oils are great emollients and moisturizers. As such, they can help to slow down the process of ageing. In order to be a great skin care product, a few criteria must be met:
· The skin preparation body oil must be absorbed quickly.
· There must be no greasy feeling after use.
· It must be formulated with essential oils that are well known for their rejuvenating and beautifying properties.
We are proud to present a body oil that has all of these benefits. The base ingredient is Jojoba Oil - well known and appreciated for its rejuvenating properties. It is a time-proven ingredient that has been used for centuries by Native Americans.
Everyone knows about anti-aging properties of natural vitamin E. In fact, vitamin E is one of the best free radical scavengers (free radicals accelerate the process of ageing.)
Our body oils are 100% natural. They do not contain any preservatives or synthetic additives. It is difficult to find something more natural and time-proven than the Alchemist's Remedy Dry Body Oil from Gems & Herbs.
