Omaha Essential Oils

Each Wednesday I will share experiences and information about Aromatherapy, Essential Oils and Meditation that I offer at Inclusive Life right here in Omaha at 37^th and Leavenworth.

An easy check of many sites, books and references each reveals a similar answer:  Essential oils are concentrated hydrophobic liquids containing volatile aroma compounds from plants.  An oil is "essential" in the sense that it carries a distinctive scent, or essence, of the plant (much like blood is to humans.)  

Essential oils have been used medicinally in history for thousands of years, and now includes many countries importing and exporting oils and herbs.  There are different grades of oils, for a variety of uses.

Grade A oils are pure therapeutic quality and are usually made from organically grown plants distilled at the proper temperatures using steam distillation.

Grade B oils are food grade; they may contain synthetics, pesticides, fertilizers, extenders, or carrier oils.

Grade C oils are perfume grade and may contain the same type of adulterating chemicals as food grade oils. They usually contain solvents which are used to gain a higher yield of oil per harvest. Solvents are normally cancerous.

Floral Water is a byproduct of the distillation process, a very high quality if it comes from a Grade A distillation process. Accordingly it is of low quality if it comes from poor quality raw materials and or poor distillation processes. It is usually found in skin and hair products.

It is important to understand that not oils are equal.  Young Living's oils are therapeutic and medicinal. They are derived directly from the plant - not in a laboratory - and they are never extended or adulterated with chemicals. It is true; you get what you pay for.  It is not possible to purchase less expensive essential oils and get the same therapeutic quality and results.

This week, a person at home got into poison ivy.  What would you normally do?  (Go to doctor, use calamine lotion, Benadryl…)  Within 3 applications of Young Livings Lavender Essential Oil in two days, the reaction was gone; no itching or scar.

ABOUT THE WRITER…

Royal D. Bush was born and raised in the Omaha metro area raised in a single parent family, with his Mother Mildred.  His first many years of life were spent in Bellevue, where he and his mother attended church at the First Baptist Church of Bellevue.  Eventually Omaha became home, where as a young adult, Royal began attending various worship services with friends and family before finally calling MCC Omaha his home, where he went on to serve as Minister of Hospitality.

In 2009, Royal founded Inclusive Life Pastoral Services; a Nebraska, nonprofit, multifaith based organization that offers care and services to individuals, couples and families who are not a part of church, organized religion, or have a religious belief.  He is ordained and serves as a Chaplain.  Inclusive Life serves all without exception, religious and nonreligious.  He continues to share his belief and message that “You are beautiful, you are loved and you are worthy, just the way you are.  You are not alone.”

In 2012 he married his partner of five years, Jonathan.  They share a home in the Dundee area of Omaha.  Today, Royal is a member and attends service at the First Unitarian Church of Omaha.  He currently is working on two projects: A 2 hour “You Retreat” that will be offered monthly, at no charge!  It will focus on allowing people to experience themselves in ways perhaps not experienced before or often.  And secondly, he is studying and training for knowledge with Aromatherapy and Essential Oils.
