Benefits of Using Essential Oils in a Chiropractic Clinical Setting
The enhancing effect of therapeutic-grade essential oils

In my Chiropractic clinic, I don't use acupuncture needles, but acupressure. I also use a lot of Chinese thought, as well as a lot of energy work (Cranial Sacral, Reike, Nimmo). I've found that therapeutic-grade essential oils enhance my ability to draw and realign that energy. The work goes faster, and I can get more done in the same amount of time.

A powerful therapy for when I encounter tight muscles
If I have tight muscles to deal with, and I'm not doing the RainDrop Technique on that person, I apply the muscle pain blend to the spot, and the muscles releases instantly allowing me to continue on.
Of course, if I figure out that the problem is emotional, then I start using emotional oils. The key there is to use the opposite oil of the emotion that they are having, or that caused the problem: first the muscle pain blend, then the other oil to help change the chemistry of the brain to a more positive emotion.
Using essential oils on acupuncture points
I use the oils on the acupuncture points a lot, then do energy work with my hands — either on the points or the meridians.
I've heard that it's very effective to put the oil on first, then use needles. I know for a fact that it's incredible to use it with just the acupressure. [Editor's note: Essential oils also work great when using a tuning fork on the acupuncture points.]
Many acupuncturists are using the laser pointer, or other laser equipment, on the acupuncture points. I put the oil on a point, then beam it for 10 seconds with a laser pointer. That really changes energy levels, and causes a deep and quick response.
The Energy Balancing Blend and Chiropractic:
The energy balancing blend is an amazing blend of therapeutic-grade essential oils. It has the ability to bring balance and alignment to the recipient — both physically and electrically. It has often been called the "chiropractor in a bottle".
A number of chiropractors use this oil in their practice on a regular basis. They report that, when using the energy balancing blend, adjustments are about 40% easier to give and last about 60% longer.
From my own experience, if I go to my chiropractor without having applied energy balancing blend, I might as well stay home (it's a Fibromyalgia thing). I have a good chiropractor, and he can get me adjusted; but the adjustments just don't hold.
The energy balancing blend has been a God-send to me.
The quality of the oils is everything
There's nothing that I've found more powerful as a healing modality than truly therapeutic-grade essential oils. They're absolutely amazing. But, when I've tried using cheaper oils, I was always disappointed with the results I saw. There really is a difference. One of the things I found with the cheaper oils is that they have no electricity in them. I'm very sensitive to this, because of the energy work I do; and an inert oil — one that is dead because of poor processing methods — really offers no therapeutic benefits. I will not settle for less.
If my patient tells me therapeutic-grade oils are too expensive, I tell him/her that they are less expensive than surgery. And, if seen in the long term, they're actually way less expensive than the cheaper oil, because the cheaper oils don't work! In my opinion, you're just wasting your money with them — no matter how little you pay.
