insomnia, stress
What is aromatherapy? Aromatherapy is any scent that is used to affect the body or mind. The sense of smell is the sense that is most basic to humans and most animals. In general, when we speak of aromatherapy, we are talking about essential oils. These oils are taken from various trees and plants, and have direct effects on our body. For example, a blend of grapefruit, orange, and clary sage is used for insomnia and can put the individual to sleep very quickly. Are we talking about candles, or what? Candles are just one way of using aromatherapy. The most usual method is to inhale the ...

Thursday, Jan 05, 2012
Aromatherapy is the art of using the aromatic carbon compounds found in plants: essential oils. Ancient cultures in Greece, Rome, Egypt, India, China and Persia all extracted essential oils to access the healing value of plants. In the1900's European chemists rediscovered essential oils and coined the term "aromatherapy." Aromatherapy is used extensively in Europe to treat conditions of the genito-urinary tract, the gastrointestinal tract, the respiratory system, the nervous system, the endocrine system and the immune system. It is most effective for treating infections and preventing ...
The Rose - For Love on Many Levels
By:
VitalityLink Finder
Sunday, Dec 25, 2011
In the language of flowers, the rose means love. Its luscious aroma has long been associated with romance and love. A gift of roses is a traditional way to say “I love you.” The scent of rose helps us to get in touch with feelings of love. There are different kinds of love, of course. The love for a mother is a different sort of love than that between two people who are passionately engaged. You can experience love with your children and pets. You can have a sense of love and compassion for humanity in general. These kinds of love feel different from one another. The love of ...
How to Use Essential Oils
By:
VitalityLink Finder
Sunday, Dec 18, 2011
There are any number of ways to use essential oils, but the two most popular ways are diffusion into the air, and direct application onto the skin. We'll discuss diffusion first. Diffusion Diffusion of essential oils into the air of an enclosed space (such as a house or office) is popularly called aromatherapy. That's because the highly aromatic, sweet-smelling molecules of the essential oils are literally breathed into the human body, at which point they trigger numerous immune-boosting, healing, relaxation or stimulation responses depending upon the specific oils being inhaled. Dr. Valnet ...
What are "Essential Oils"?

Topic:
Asthma
,
Chronic Illness
Essential oils are the regenerating and oxygenating immune defense properties of plants. Their oxygenating molecules effectively transport nutrients and a myriad of other powerful chemical constituents to the cells, bringing life to the plants, destroying infections, staving off infestation, aiding in growth, and stimulating healing. They are to plants what blood is to the human body, and much, much more. --D. Gary Young Dr. Taylor of the University of Austin, Texas has observed that essential oils present more new compounds than the chemists of the whole world could analyze in a thousand ...

Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils - Know what to Look for
By:
Jacqueline McLaughlin
Friday, Oct 21, 2011
Essential oils are not all created equal. If you are purchasing essential oils to use for therapeutic purposes (Aromatherapy, diffusing, putting on or in your body) you want to be certain that the oils you are using are Therapeutic Grade. Many oils that may smell good, are not necessarily good for you…. One of the factors that determines the purity of an oil is its chemical constituents. These constituents can be affected by a vast number of variables, including: the part of the plant from which the oil was produced, soil condition, fertilizer, (organic or chemical), geographical ...

By:
Jacqueline McLaughlin
Thursday, Jun 24, 2010
Many people have asked me about Raindrop Technique, an aromatherapy protocol developed by Dr. D. Gary Young. I have found Raindrop Technique to be a very powerful protocol for any kind of back, neck and sciatic pain; as well as an overall immune support. Here's what you might expect from a Raindrop Technique session: The purpose of Raindrop Technique is to stimulate every organ, muscle and bone of the body at a cellular level through the oils, boosting the immune system, bringing the body into structural/electrical balance, and enabling the release of toxins or disease wherever they may be ...
