These essential oils are adaptogenic, meaning they have a regulating effect and will help increase or decrease the action of an element and the flow of chi in an organ meridian as needed. Some of these adaptogenic oils will have more of a nourishing or decreasing effect, as noted. Essential oils which are not adaptogenic will be designated as having an either nourishing or decreasing effect on an element.Your meridians are subtle energy channels within your body through which circuits or streams of life force energy flow. Electro-chemical currents of emotional energy also flow along these subtle energy pathways and can upset the natural balance of life force energy. Humans are electrochemical beings. The molecules of emotion, triggered by your thoughts, act as powerful chemical messengers. The natural and free flow of life force energy (and your e-motions - energy in motion) ensures your health and longevity. While blocked or suppressed energy result in clogged meridian channels and imbalances of health. You do NOT have to know Chinese Medicine or Acupuncture to use the recommended essential oil with good results.
