Essential Oils, or Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s), are fats required by the body, that the body is unable to produce on its own, so they must be supplemented from the diet.
EFA’s are often called “the good fats” because unlike other fats that have received negative press, these fats have health promoting benefits. Essential fatty acids help modulate inflammation, protect against cancer, protect against heart disease, help to support the structure and function of the nervous system, help to maintain healthy skin, assist in modulating blood sugar, and help in the modulation and production of hormones.
Essential fatty acids are extremely important nutrients for health and are present in every healthy cell in the body, and are critical for the normal maintenance, growth and functioning of the cells, muscles, nerves, and organs.
