Barefoot & Sp'Oiled
This entire book is about safety, so that’s why it’s about applying essential oils to the feet – first! Often the first question someone asks about essential oils is, “Are they safe?” or, “Are they safe for children?” As we progress in dissolving our fears about plants, we will evolve in our practice of using natural, complex molecules, of life-giving energy! Even during pregnancy, we can prepare our babies to come into a better world and have a safer relationship with it.
We have thousands of years of history dedicated to the application of plant medicine that supports life. In general, we know what is edible, but not everyone knows what is nourishing or safe. Lots of people know what soothes an injury, what is toxic, poisonous, or deadly. But not everyone questions the “who” or "by what references" do we learn from to adopt a healthy lifestyle.
We lost some key knowledge over the past century and we’re working our way back to some “scents-able” methods of self-care. The teachers who share the wisdom of nature with their students, and the ones who “walk their talk” might be worthy of your time. The teachers who hold a vow to “first, do no harm” should attract your attention in today’s climate of escalating disease. What do you already know and how much are you willing to invest in your education, from head to toe?
You don’t have to take anyone’s word on how essential oils will benefit you. Just to try them! You can learn from a friend, a book, current science, or historical science, but you have to experience them for yourself to get your own answers.
As we reconnect with the life force and abundance of earth’s resources, we can pave the way back to being gentle, kind, and respectful of the earth and of our origin. Essential oils are a journey, not a belief. The best place to start this journey, is to put a few drops of oils on the bottom of your feet and take the first step!
