Certain plants contain powerful essential oils that have been used for healing purposes throughout history. Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts that contain many beneficial compounds. They can be used aromatically, applied topically, or ingested in some cases. Each oil has unique properties and many have been shown to have antioxidant, antibacterial, and mood enhancing effects. Common ways to use essential oils include diffusion, massage, cooking, and more.

2. What Are Essential Oils?
Certain plants contain complex and powerful
substances known as essential oils. These have been
called“the lifeblood of the plant”. They are a super
concentrated liquid that comes from roots, leaves and
flowers of very fragrant plants. For example it can take
thousands of flower petals to create the drops that
are in a single bottle of our essential oil blends. And
adding a single drop of peppermint oil to a glass of
water has approximately the same concentration as 20
bags of peppermint tea. Because each essential oil has
a different fragrance and nutritional profile, they offer a
wide range of emotional and physical remedies.
All About Essential Oils
How Do Essential Oils Work?
Essential oils are unlike any other natural remedy.
Because they can have a pleasant aroma they can be
gentle and enjoyable to use. They have a light vapor
constitution which help them absorb into the cells
quickly, allowing them to penetrate the brain within
seconds. Their“aromas”can instantly uplift an emotion
or mood! And nutritionally they contain virtually all of
the plants healing nutrients, oxygenating molecules,
amino acid precursors, trace minerals, enzymes, vitamins,
and hormones in a powerfully concentrated form - up to
50 to 70 times more potent than the original herb or plant.
Each Oil Is Unique
The healthy benefits of oils can be absorbed into the body
by applying them to the skin, breathing in the vapors and
even ingesting oils in certain cases. Additionally, each“aroma”
of a specific oil can have a powerful effect on one’s mood and
emotions just as listening to a certain song or type of music can
instantly change one’s outlook. But unlike synthetic perfumes,
essential oils are natural and safe and have become renowned for
their ability to heal both emotionally and physically.

3. The History of Essential Oils
The use of extracted oils were recorded in both
ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese
manuscripts for their healing benefits. The
Romans indulged in aromatherapy from oils in
the temples as well as bathing and massage.
The Bible speaks of essential oils in both the
Old and New Testaments. In Athens, in 200 B.C.
Hippocrates fumigated an entire Greek city with
aromatic essence to prevent disease. Italy is
renowned for their development of essential oils
and aromatherapy. And the ancient Mediterranean
peoples value Frankincense as high as gold.
Carrier Oils
Some essential oils can create irritations if applied
in full strength directly to the skin. For this
purpose, often a“carrier oil”is used to dilute the
essential oil when massaging into the body. Simply
add several drops of your favorite oil blend into a
small jar of carrier oil such as almond, grape seed,
avocado or olive oil. Add drops to your personal
preference of strength.
Use With Care
While most essential oils are safe and easy to use, one must also
take care. Essential oils can be strong and some oils can cause
irritation when applied directly to the skin or applied near or on
sensitive areas such as eyes, ears and nose. Consult each oil and
use carrier oils when needed. It is advised to try one drop when
using internally first - or apply on small area of skin to test. Use
common sense, go slow and test in the beginning.

4. Antioxidant Superhero
A few drops of essential oils skyrockets
off the charts when it comes to
measuring antioxidant strength.
Antioxidants are what fight off dangerous
“radicals”from our bodies which cause
disease, aging and even cancer. On the
ORAC scale (how they rate antioxidants)
blueberries are one of the all time highest
foods and score 2,400. That is VERY high.
However, compare blueberries to these essential oils:
Blueberries 2,400
Rosemary Oil 3,309
Cinnamon Oil 103,448
Thyme Oil 159,590
Clove Oil 10,786,875
Clove oil has more than a million times the antioxidant effect
than the esteemed blueberry! One cannot emphasize enough the
health boost of a single drop of these powerful essential oils!
(Our IMUNNE blend is off the charts on the ORAC scale!)
Proven Antibacterial
Many essential oils have been shown to
be exceptionally powerful in fighting harmful
bacteria, fungus, parasites and anything else that can be
dangerous to the cell! Studies have shown that some of
the best essential oils for fighting pathogens are Clove,
Oregano, Thyme and Lavender (included in our IMUNNE
blend -which is a powerhouse!). Diffusing IMUNNE
into the air can be very effective in cleansing airborne
pathogens. One can also use internally or massage into skin if
used properly. Don’t underestimate the immune boosting power of
essential oils.

5. 3 Ways To Apply Essential Oils
The Power Of Aromatherapy
Each oil has a distinctive“aroma”that can act on our moods and
emotions. The calming scent of lavender, the uplifting scent of
Italian orange or the invigorating scent of rosemary are examples
of the powerful effects that essential oils can have to instantly shift
moods and thought processes. Breathing in the aroma is the most
common way to get benefits of oils. It is easy and the essence of
the oil in minute particles drift through air and into the blood
stream nourishing the cells and reaching the mood centers of the
brain. Aromatherapy from essential oils can be very effective in
healing the spirit, mind and body.
Quick Absorption Through The Skin
The skin is one of the quickest and best ways to absorb nutrition
into the cells of the body. Essential oils are powerful enough to
immediately penetrate the skin and cell membranes. They can
diffuse through the blood and tissues in a matter of seconds!
They also have been shown to be able to cross the brain-blood
barrier to reach the parts of the brain that control our mood and
emotions. This is one of the reasons they seem to be so effective
in helping with anxiety, stress, anger or any emotional issues. Oils
can be absorbed through the skin by massage or also by adding
into a hot bath with Epsom salts. Test a drop on a small area of
skin before using. Adding a few drops of your favorite blend into a
carrier oil (almond, grape seed, coconut) is recommended.
Cooking With Oils
Cooking with essential oils can add a burst of flavor as well as add
nutritional value! Research has shown that the benefits of essential
oils are substantial as they contain minerals, enzymes, vitamins,
hormones and more. They are also very concentrated so a little
goes a long way. There are many ways you can try using oils on a
daily basis. Examples include adding a few drops of oil to cookies,
cakes, salad dressings, sauces, stews, soups, desserts, puddings,
teas, smoothies and even creating flavored honey!

10 Ways To Use Essential Oils

7. Apply To Body– Add a touch of
essential oils to your wrists, ear lobes, side of
neck or even under your nose. Use a carrier
oil when needed if there is a skin sensitivity.
Apply to small area first to test. Benefits from
the oils can be transmitted both through the
skin and through the aroma.
Foot Rub– In a glass jar add about 12
drops of your favorite essential oil blend into
about 4 teaspoons of avocado, grape seed,
olive or almond oil (a carrier oil). Gently rub
into feet. The feet are full of reflex points that
affect the entire body allowing the essential
oils to have a more powerful effect.
Bath Salts– Add a few drops of your
favorite oil into a cup of Epsom salts or bath
salts and pour into a hot tub of water. Light
some candles and soak in your own spa-like
aromatherapy bath.
Freshen Your Car– Add a drop of
your favorite oil on your finger and brush it
on an air vent in your car. Turn on your air and
turn a boring commute into an aromatherapy
journey!
Recipes– Add a few drops of your favor-
ite oils to smoothies, teas, soups, stews, cook-
ies, salad dressings and any other recipes for
a flavor and nutritional boost! Use only with
approved oils for internal consumption.

14. BellaVita’s 12 Mediterranean Essential Oil
Blends have been preformulated to make
your life simple.Rather than sift through handfuls of oils
to decide which combinations to make for your ailment, we decided
to make your life a little easier and made what we believe are the 12
most powerful blends to get you through the day. Whether you’ve
got a cold and need to breathe easier, or want a relaxant to calm you
down after a long day, we’ve got you covered.
These unique blends were specifically designed
for BellaVita by our Master Aroma Therapist,
Lara Wright. Lara is a second generation
aromatherapy pioneer and developer of high end
all natural skin and body care products. She is
world renowned for developing her organic line
of skin care products at her Green Valley Lab in the Southwest USA.
She also develops product lines for Award Winning Green Valley
Spa. Great care has been given to each blend in the collection using
Mediterranean oils to create what we believe are the world’s most
effective and beautiful essential oil blends.
BellaVita Essential Oils are hand blended in
small batches to assure quality
and individual care, not mass produced like
other large companies. Our blends have a greater
strength than an individual oil and since they are
blended so meticulously, they are unique, well
thought out and extremely effective. Rest assured,
there is no higher quality than the BellaVita
essential oils you hold in your hands.
12 Preformulated Oils to Simplify Your Life

15. BellaVita Mediterranean Essential Oils are
of the purest, most natural
quality.
Bella Vita uses only 100% pure grade essential
oils. Each oil is carefully chosen with
generations of experience. All oils coming
into the lab are certified pure and of the
highest possible grade. We are proud to say
our distillers use sustainable, organic farming practices
and meticulously certify each oil after it has been freshly picked and
distilled. Our oils are impeccable in their purity and quality.
Why are the BellaVita Essential Oils in
cobalt blue bottles?
The suggested bottle for essential oils is dark glass
because it keeps out the sun’s ultra-violet rays. Light
will deteriorate essential oils so having a dark bottle
is very important. Cobalt blue does a superb job of
keeping out unwanted light. That makes it a perfect
fit for us: A beautiful colored bottle with all the
protective qualities we need to preserve our amazing
blends. A wonderful side note about cobalt blue is
that it has an excellent energetic frequency, which is
higher than amber or other colored glass. The blue
color is very healing and calming- which causes one to think of the
blue sky and beautiful turquoise waters of the Mediterranean.
