Path To Perfect Health® essential oils
is a combination of lemon, grapefruit, cedarwood, petitgrain, clove and eucalyptus. Addiction was originally called Smoker’s Aid but so many were healing from all sorts of other addictions it has been collectively decided to name it Addiction. The essential oils in this formula work together to support the emotions and heal the damage that the body has suffered from the abuse of smoking, drugs, over eating and alcohol abuse.
Lemon, grapefruit and clove will clean up the toxins and petrochemical clutter in the cellular environment and instigate perspiration to help cleanse by eliminating through the skin. Cedarwood, petitgain, clove and eucalyptus will bring in an intense amount of oxygen and promote the release of the body’s own natural stress reducing chemicals to satisfy that endorphin fix needed by the pleasure centers. Eucalyptus intensifies all the other oils so they provide the physical energy and the motivation to get up from the T.V. and exercise, which will help break up and clear the toxic congestion in the lungs and residue that is stored in tissue. Clove will soothe the throat and help relieve the coughing associated with elimination through your air passages.
Addictions can be difficult to heal but not impossible. They certainly can’t be dealt with logically. No one decides as a young child to cultivate bulimia and purge their food three times a day when they grow up. No child plans to destroy its family someday by developing a sex addiction. Addiction pops into our life totally unexpected and completely consumes us. Addictions come in all shapes and all sizes but they are all eventually destructive.
Our brain is wired for pleasure; we have many pleasure centers and pleasure receptors in our body-mind and we learn what stimulates them very quickly. No one really loves their first taste of chocolate, sip of coffee or their first cigarette, but the body-mind overrides the taste sensations to gain the benefits of the chemical sensations.
All humans have six basic needs and unless we are extremely evolved we live out our lives to satisfy these basic human needs. These human needs are: security, variety, knowing that we have a value and you are significant, love or connection, freedom to express our self (growth) and contributing. Anything or anyone that is perceived to satisfy three or more of our six basic human needs while stimulating the production of endorphins can easily become an addiction.
Food is a good example. Logically we all know that junk food doesn’t contribute to our health but most of us eat junk food when depressed. Remember the six basic human needs that cause us to fall into patterns of addiction? Food can fulfill all six!
Certainty or survival- Food is a certainty. You know where to get it, how to get it and what it will taste like.
Variety - The sky is the limit with food. There is always something new to try, and many creative ways to prepare it.
Significance - This may be why popular coffee chains are so successful; we feel special because we can get what we want, when we want it and exactly how we want it. Now picture yourself at the family dinner table and it is your change to share about your accomplishments and achievement with people who love you.
Connection - Food is a social event constantly permitting the opportunity spend time with others. Or presents opportunity to take a break to eat by yourself, perhaps somewhat like a cigarette break; seven minutes behind a cloud all to yourself.
Growth - Cooking is creative. Learning about food, shopping for ingredients and preparing the perfect meal is quite an art.
Contribution - Cooking for others can be fulfilling. People often prepare large meals for events such as holiday gatherings and fundraisers.
Food can easily become an addiction because it satisfies our basic human needs and junk food and packaged foods deliver chemical signals that stimulate our pleasure centers. (Manufacturers do it on purpose, do some research on MSG). Chocolate induces many of the thirty-eight endorphins released during sexual arousal. Rich, creamy dairy products induce secretions of the same endorphins released during nurturing.
A trauma-induced addiction won’t make sense because it is the insanity that keeps us sane temporarily. Healing takes time and most of us stay so busy that we don’t allow the nurturing time to regain balance. During and after a stressful situation or a traumatic blow if we don’t take the steps to self-actualize, transition and heal, addiction will act like the glue that keeps us together. Anesthetic practices such as painkillers, cigarettes, heroin, antidepressants, marijuana; excessive reading, TV or movie viewing and overeating can numb the body, the emotions and the mind. This artificial stillness acts as a dam, temporarily holding back the floodwaters. By using numbing devices to stop the natural flow of our emotions, our emotional intensity will increase as the anesthetic wears off.
