First of all, when societies come together and form governments, they create a number of systems. For example we have a transportation system, an education system and a healthcare system. What is the goal of the Transportation system? Right, to get people and things from one place to another. What is the goal of the educaiton system? – To help us be more educated. What is the goal of the healthcare system? – To help us be healthier.
Did you know that we spend about 4.5 trillion dollars globally on healthcare every year? In fact, $4.5 trillion would pay to pave a road around the world 1737 times, or it would pay for more than half of the entire US population (all children and adults and seniors) to go to a PRIVATE college each year. The truth is, with all that money we spend on health care, we are not any healthier now than we were 5 years ago; in fact we are less healthy.
The problem is that Healthcare is not very healthy. We don’t eat well, we have sedentary lifestyles and we have a problem with how we medicate. We use synthetic drugs which cause a whole host of side effects and even addictions. When you break it down, you can say that today, Healthcare = Medication.
Here is what it looks like. Pharmaceutical companies make the medications, doctors prescribe them and patients use them.
What is our BIGGEST drug problem?
Read the quotes on the slide. So, in 5 or 10 years, we are looking at a generation of teenagers who are already addicted to prescription medication. This is a huge problem.
So, it is time we reinvented healthcare. Centuries ago they used natural medicine. Had you told someone back then to take a blue pill and it would make them better, they would have thought you were crazy, because what they were using for healthcare was natural remedies. Today it’s exactly opposite. If you suggest someone take a natural form of medicine, they think it’s strange. In reality, many prescription drugs use synthetic versions of the same compounds found in plants.
Lets talk a little about Essential Oils.
- Explain that Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. - In addition to giving plants their distinctive smells, essential oils provide plants with protection against predators and disease. - Essential oils have been used throughout history in many cultures for their medicinal and therapeutic benefits. - Essential Oils are extremely concentrated. - They are 50x to 70x more powerful than herbs • One drop of Peppermint oil is as powerful as 28 cups of Peppermint Tea.
Essential Oils are a 100% Natural way to care for our health. They are completely natural which means there is nothing added or taken away so there are no side effects or addictions

Describe the information on this slide.
They are actually more powerful than medications. Bacteria are found on the outside of cell walls and Viruses are on the inside of the cells Regular antibiotics cannot penetrate the cell wall and so they only work on bacterial infections NOT on viruses. Essential Oils CAN penetrate the cell wall and are therefore effective against bacteria AND viruses.
The Oils work Fast.
This patient’s first blood sample is not healthy.
Then, they put 1 drop of a blend of essential oils called Balance, on the bottom of one of the patient’s feet and timed 30 seconds. After 30 seconds they pricked the finger to get a second blood sample, and this is what they saw.
They are also inexpensive. (Review some of these examples).
Describe how you can use the oils Aromatically.
Describe how you can use the oils Topically.
Describe how you can use the oils Internally.

Insert an image that depicts why the essential oils are important to you or your family. If you are unable to insert an image, simply explain why the essential oils are important to you and your family. Be sure to share a personal experience with the oils if appropriate. When people learn that essential oils are safer, more effective and cheaper to use, they almost always choose natural medicine. The problem is that people just don’t know about it. 10 years ago the “tree huggers” were considered weird. Now, anyone who isn’t environmentally conscious is considered reckless. This trend has moved toward organic foods, then to organic cleaning products and is now moving toward natural medicine. I believe that within 5 to 10 years natural medicine will be a major trend, if not completely mainstream because healthcare is such a big issue. So, who will reinvent healthcare? Not the Pharmaceutical companies. Not the doctors, but rather individuals with their families and friends.
