Is your body rejecting oils?
How and why do some people experience complete rejection of any and all essential oils when previously they used them without issue? Here’s my best explanation.
When you over use (I can’t determine if you are or not as each person is different) sometimes after about 2 years of doing the same thing with 20 or more drops internally your body may start to reject them in the form of rashes or what seems like an allergic response. You may feel defeated because even simple topical or diffuser use can pose a problem.
The question I always ask myself and others when they are having these unusual responses is, “Are you under any abnormal stress lately?” Nine times out of ten the answer is “yes”. For these people, my only recommendation is to calm down and try to manage your stress. CortiStop and EndoGize are two helpful supplements.
When you are stressed out, your body creates more cortisol than normal. Your adrenals work overtime, and with larger amounts of cortisol coursing through your body, essential oils will try to help you out by attacking it. The result of their “help” is rapid and often rashy detox.
Here is my advice if you find yourself having severe reactions with any and all types of essential oil use when previously there were no negative responses. I encourage you try to manage the stress better and stop using all essential oils for 120 days to fully reset your system, and then start again. Your blood recycles fully and is brand new every 120 days. This may seem extreme but this only applies to those having major reactions.
Please note, any full essential oil supplements need to be stopped too. Powdered supplements with powdered oils is fine. You get about the same when you eat a salad. Essential oils are present in most raw plant foods we eat, but concentrated forms of essential oil from a bottle will be too much during your reset.
When you start to reintroduce essential oils again it will be like you are new, so expect 2 weeks of normal detox, but after that, if you are still having reactions, then I’d say stop and consider the next potential issue. (Continued in comments)
