Essential Oils Produce an Aura of Radiant Skin
With advanced optical imaging, it is now possible to see the effects of essential oils imparting radiant skin! Luminescence is the giving off light without heat while Phosphorescence is the property of giving off a lingering light after exposure to radiant energy. Essential oils all give off varying degrees of luminescence and phosphorescence. Lemon Balm and lavender are the most radiant when exposed to sunlight of a select group of essential oils investigated by optical imaging.
Essential oils are found in 20% of fragrances in perfumes and cosmetics, 5% in pharmaceutical products, and 15% are divided into various constituents for various uses.
Radiant Glow of Essential Oils
Researchers tested the following essential oils for their radiance trait: Wild Chamomile, Lavender, Marjoram, Melissa (Lemon Balm), Mentha (Peppermint), Oregano, Pine, Rosemary, Tea Tree, and Lemon.
Luminescence and fluorescent emissions can be related to chemical composition: the main components of the extracted oils, terpenoids and the composition of these mixtures (monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes and diterpenes) changes according to the plant and the method used for oil extraction, as well as where the essential oil is harvested and how it is extracted.
Essential Oil Radiance Test
Essential oils were put daylight laboratory and then placed in a dark room for 30 minutes. The samples were then exposed to sunshine for 5 minutes after which three luminescent images timed at every 10 minutes for 3 hours were taken.
Even Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) reveals that essential oils affect our respiratory system and revealing just how much mucus is in our airways. This reveals that dramatic and sometimes subtle radiance and positive changes in our body when we apply essential oils to our skin.
All animals in the radiance test showed marked luminosity with the application of essential oils.
How Does Essential Oil Radiance Work?
Little is known about the complex activation of essential oils by sunlight in biological systems.
Optical imaging definitively shows that essential oils produce florescent emissions in the skin of living organisms for up to three hours. The test was conducted with the using VivoVision System IVIS®.
Luminescence in plants is a response to stress and shock. Fluorescence may correlate with senescence (to grow old) and stress. It may be possible in future optical imaging to track radiant persistence and diffusion of essential oils on the skin.
Luminescence and fluorescence will not provide information about the chemical composition of essential oils but it can be used to illuminate the persistence and diffusion of essential oils upon the skin.
Little is known about the complex activation of essential oils by sunlight in biological systems.
Aura of Spiritual Truth
It is a spiritual truth that a dull darkness cannot be present with light. As we learn more about essential oils, we will enhance our understanding of essential oils being the vessels that facilitate light. To heal in Hebrew means ‘shining’ while the Hebrew word for darkness is ‘to be weak’ and to ‘forget’.
The concept of health as connected with light that surrounds the body is that your body is the spiritual structure that is the abode of the soul. This structure must radiate and be surrounded by light which is what we see to a limited degree by this study. Your aura of light reveals your spiritual health as well as your physical health.
Will we see a day when the purity, clarity, and cleanliness of untainted essential oils annul the ravages of disease?
While this tests objective was to study histochemistry for nefarious transdermal applications for pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies, the work also is brilliantly clear that essential oils activate a radiant glow in healthy skin.
