Important Information about Kopec Naturals Medicinal
Massage Oils
What is different about our massage oils from other
brands?
Our massage oils contain analgesic and warming properties, a
complex blend of essential oils addressing a variety of health issues, and are
premixed with the maximum percentage allowed for transdermal application. The
quality of our ingredients along with the way in which our carrier oil is
processed provides the transdermal effect. In addition, our oils contain
naturally occurring linoleic acid to reduce bacteria in the skin, contain
naturally occurring antioxidants for the skin, contain vitamins, minerals and
polyphenols to improve condition of the skin, and are formulated to improve the
function of sebaceous glands and allows for proper release of sebum to ensure
proper function of the skin. Our massage oils contain a cold pressed
therapeutic carrier oil and natural Vitamin E to keep oil from turning rancid.
Many therapists testify to the superior glide and non-greasy feeling to allow
desired pressure. Due to the high potency and therapeutic application we
recommend using sparingly.
What is a transdermal remedy and how does it work?
A transdermal remedy uses the skin as an orifice to bring medicine
directly into the bloodstream. A transdermal remedy enters the skin and moves
into the bloodstream by passing through cell membranes where the ingredients
are identified by the body and taken to where the body needs it most. Using a transdermal remedy is a little different than
you may be used to. Using a transdermal remedy asks you to think differently
about your skin, and asks you to think differently about the way you deal with
a condition or problem you’ve been experiencing by rubbing oil on your body to
relieve symptoms. Although this application seems like a new and novel way to
take care of an internal condition, transdermal remedies were the first
medicines ever, and recently are gaining more and more scientific recognition.
Rubbing oil on your chest,
neck and throat takes us back to ancient times of being anointed with oil by
either a priest or a physician to heal someone of their illness. When you rub
oil on specific places, you are in close proximity to some of your body’s main
arteries allowing the essential oil to take the quickest path to the inside of
your bloodstream. Transdermal remedies formulated from essential oils and specific
carrier oils were in fact, the very first medicines. The Bible still contains
some of these original formulas to treat certain ailments.
How should I use Kopec Naturals Massage Oils?
What else can I consider to improve my health in this
area?
As with any health condition
it is important to get proper nutrition, supplementation and hydration. This is
especially important after a massage appointment when toxins can be released
into the blood stream and need to be flushed through the system.
Hydration:
To ensure the proper amount
of drinking water during a 24 hour period take your weight and divide that
number in half. The halved number is the total ounces in water you should drink
every day. For example a120lb women should drink 60 ounces of water every day.
What else should I know about the ingredients in skin
care products?
Unless your product label
says “100% natural” or unless the ingredients
are all natural you cannot trust the product to be pure. With the popularity of
the word “natural” the FDA is allowing a manufacturer to use the word natural
if it contains only a certain amount of ingredients to be natural, but not all
the ingredients have to be. In addition the FDA allows companies that
manufacture skincare and personal care products to "use almost any raw
material as an cosmetic ingredient and market the product without an approval
from the FDA" (FDA 1995). Many ingredients are now being tested for their
carcinogenic effect, including mineral oil which many people believe to be
natural, but it is actually derived from petroleum and has been linked to
breast cancer. Many chemical ingredients disrupt hormone levels in the body and
can aggravate a variety of health symptoms.
