I've always been interested in Integral Health, and always had an innate desire to understand ways of healing unlike the traditions I'd been raised with. Herbal healing and utilization of Aromatherapy has always been interesting to me which is one of the reasons I decided to major in Health and Wellness.
Although, essential oil therapy has been around for centuries and in Europe is one of the leading forms of medicinal healing, I still don't believe it is utilized enough. There are numerous essential oils, and each has a specific purpose.
Aromatherapy is botanical plant based medicine where different parts of the plants are distilled and the essence of the plants are then concentrated into oils, carrying the scent as well as the medicinal qualities which are very healing, both psychologically and physically.
Lavender oil one of the most well known and commonly utilized oils, was discovered by accident by Dr. Rene Maurice Gattenfosse, in his family perfume factory, he burned his had and looking for a vat of liquid to put his hand in accidently put it into the vat of Lavender oil. His hand stopped hurting, healed very quickly with no blisters or scars, this was in the early 1900's.
Tea Tree oil is another commonly used essential oil that has antimirobial properties, and clincial trials have been done regarding Tea Tree's ability to stop the spread of MRSA in hospitals.
As I mentioned early on, Europe has been a front runner in the usage of essential oils as medicinal healing modailty for many decades, the U. S. is just beginning to recognize essential oil therapy as a viable adjunct to other conventional applications used in our country.

ReplyDeleteI love the blog. I also believe in essential oils for healing. I love lavender, peace & Calming, RC and Thieves. It is amazing I have used these for a long time and stopped and then went back to them when my five year old started developing colds all the time. After I started using them on him with a carrying oil he has never gotten a cold since. My mother actually sells young living oils and I just love it. I found a great "bible" for aromatherapy it is called The Art of Aromatherapy by Robert Tissarand. Again love the blog and let me know of any good essential oils that you like. I always like to try new ones:)
Intense fears can cause breakdown of cellular tissue, or blockages in vital organs. Unresolved emotions from our past can be buried deeply within vital organs, muscles and bones. Ongoing stressful situations pile on emotions into weakened areas. Eventually, the immune system is compromised and cannot function normally. The body begins to break down and can become diseased.
