Q: How can EOs help with PM2.5 microscopic particulate matter?
A: Essential oils break down the particles and “digest” or neutralize them. They also bring OXYGEN to every cell of the body so the body’s own defenses can take over.
When we DIFFUSE Young Living essential oils, they clear out the air before we breathe it and also work inside out bodies.
My personal preference is to DIFFUSE, APPLY TOPICALLY, and INGEST as well as inhaling them directly by cupping my hands over my nose.
Note: the Young Living essential oils are labeled as “supplements” in the US which means they are safe to be ingested. They have not been presented to governing bodies internationally except for those included in the supplements sold internationally.
WHAT IS PARTICULATE MATTER?
Also known as ‘particle pollution’, it is a mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets found in the air. Some particles, such as dust, dirt, soot, or smoke, are large or dark enough to be seen with the naked eye. Others are so small they can only be detected using an electron microscope. PM2.5 particles are small, enabling them to pass through smaller airways, going farther into the lungs.
