Why Essential oils? Essential oils are the world’s most powerful antioxidants; they cleanse the body of free radicals which slow the aging process and have been documented in preventing cancer. Essential oils are made up of tiny molecules. The small molecules that make up essential oils empower them in many ways…It makes them aromatic, as small molecules are able to quickly vaporize and positively affect the body through the nose and lungs. Hence, the word - aromatherapy. It enables them to easily cross tissues and cell walls including the blood- brain barrier which gives them the power to reach areas of the body like nothing else. It equips oils to be transdermal, which means that they can penetrate the skin and reach parts of the body in minutes.
Why Flavored Vinegars? The use of vinegar dates back 5000 years with the Egyptians and Sumerians. It was also used liberally by the Romans in 400 B.C. and was prescribed to patients by the Hippocrates. In the Middle Ages the French transported wine along rivers, however during the course of its journey, often times it would become sour from adverse and unpredictable conditions. Hence, the words Vin aigre, French for sour wine. Over the centuries the process has been perfected to a more delicate and sophisticated process. Vinegar has many healthful characteristics.
