Therapeutic benefits of essential oils:

Essential oils are made up of hundreds of components and they each have therapeutic properties that benefit our bodies. Every component belongs to a chemical family, which are oils that have similar molecular structures. Some families work better as antiseptics, while others are better for anti inflammatory purposes. There are oils that are analgesic, antispasmodic and anti-fungal. Others have antiviral, carminative and digestive abilities. The list of therapeutic benefits is as long as the time frame people have been using
them.

Emotional aspects and energetic quality of essential oils:

Every essential oil leaves a footprint on the person using it. There are some oils that offer energetic protection or helps strengthen self-confidence. Some are great at bringing clarity to the mind and can be emotionally uplifting. There are some that calm and soothe and help those who over think things, where others can reduce fear and motivate change. Every oil is unique and each one will offer a variety of gifts to those who choose to use them.

Plant Parts and how they relate to our bodies:

We could not exist without plants. We have been intertwined from the beginning of time as our exhale is their inhale and vice versa. From seed to bloom, every part of a plant or tree relates to our own bodies in some way. Leaves allow the plant to breathe yet if we use an oil taken from a leaf, it will support our respiratory system. Resin seeps out of a plant when there is a wound that needs healing. Resin oils are spectacular for our own wounds and scars. Roots that hold the plant in place are extraordinary in helping us stay grounded and centered. Seeds that give the plant reproduction ability also nourish our own reproductive systems. We couldn’t ask for a better partner in life than that of our plant friends.

Where we source our oils:

The foundation of Mindful Mixtures is based on honesty, education, sustainability and giving back. We only buy from growers and distributers who share those same qualities and values. Our ingredients are either certified organic or wildcrafted, and we only buy from companies that focus on sustainability. We like supporting small farms, fair trade organizations and distributors who know each of their growers personally because it means that we can deliver high quality ingredients that are being grown ethically for the greater good.
