Dealing with Natural DisastersWhen dealing with natural disasters (whether they be earthquake, hurricane, tornado, fires, tsunamis, or floods) the disruption in basic infrastructure is the same. This includes water supplies, electricity, natural gas, and fuels like gasoline as well as disrupting sanitation facilities and disposal of sewers and garbage all posing biohazards. This also means that access to hospitals and health facilities may be down for a time and maybe even destroy our homes. Having an additional supply of essential oils and knowing how to use them will be very useful to you and your family in purifying your air, cleansing your body as well as helping with emotional and physical needs.

Other Emergency Ideas

Water Purification - If you're in an area where the water is suspect, add two drops of lemon oil to a glass of water and stir. Let it sit a couple of minutes, the pollutants will come to the top. Skim them off with a spoon or place a clean napkin or paper towel over the top of the water and let them absorb into the napkin. For bacterial and other severe water concerns - OnGuard, cinnamon, clove, peppermint, and oregano (kills giardia & E. coli) may work as well. Reducing Radiation Exposure

Emotional/Mood EnhancersOne thing many people may not think of, and yet is a real part of

emergencies/disasters, are emotions and moods such as stress, anxiety, fear, grief/sorrow, depression, anger, hopelessness, discouragement, etc. The essential oils may be helpful to a person in dealing with these emotions and moods and can help provide needed balance and focus both daily and in times of crisis.

Our sensory system is stimulated by odors (i.e. essential oils) through receptors in the olfactory system in your nose. Once stimulate, the reaction goes through the olfactory bulb and into the limbic system which is the part of the brain that creates emotional responses, memories, and hormones. The brain has two parts of the nervous system that it works with (sympathetic & parasympathetic). The sympathetic is known as the fight or flight that helps us deal with stress, frustration and unhappiness. When we are in conflict (emotional, physical, spiritual or emotional) we have these feelings. When this is done for a long period of time our body is in a chemical burden and begins to mimic disease or other health problems (ie. increase in cortisol (helps deal w/stress) means higher blood pressure, slow body’s inflammatory response, higher glucose levels, and altering our metabolism).

Aromatherapy is a simple, powerful, and effective way to help deal with those emotional issues. Whether it is Lavender or Serenity to help a fearful child fall asleep, or Citrus Bliss or other citrus oils to uplift a mom who lost a husband and yet still needs to keep up positive spirits for her children in the midst of a disaster, the oils will not take away the ‘problem’ but help the person emotionally be able to cope as well as help the body with it’s natural physical responses.
