Essential Oils and Aromatherapy
Essential
oils are found in the circulating vascular fluids of plants.
These vascular fluids containing the essential oils perform may
of the same functions in the plant's body as blood does in ours.
In addition, because their molecular structure is so high in
oxygen, they may help to nourish, strengthen, rebuild and
restore the body to greater and more vibrant health. The oils
are the immune system of the plant. Since it takes 5,000 pounds
of rose petals to produce one pound of rose oil, the
effectiveness of the oil is many times greater than the dried or
powdered plant.
This list is compiled from the writings of
Dr. Daniel Penoel, M.D., and Dr. Jean Claud LaPraz, M.D., two of
the most renowned French medical doctors alive today in the
research and use of essential oils, and Gary Young, N.D., one of

why
therapeutic grade
essential oils for aromatherapy are an
important part of every household's inventory.
1) Pure organic therapeutic grade essential oils contain
properties many times more powerful than dried herbs.
2) Pure organic therapeutic grade essential oils have
the longest shelf life of any plant or herb known to man.
3) Pure organic essential oils require no refrigeration
and require very little shelf space. Because we use only a few
drops per application, they last a long time.
4) Pure organic therapeutic grade essential oils bypass
the digestive system, so that they can be very beneficial to
people even if they do not have good digestion.
5) Pure essential oils are a beautiful
solution for a baby's health since babies cannot swallow
capsules.
6) Pure organic therapeutic grade Essential oils are
very cost effective because they are one of the few substances
that the more you use them the less you need them.
We have received so
many requests for a natural family aromatherapy medical kit that
we have taken the time to develop three very special
personalized natural essential oils medical kits for your
family. These kits cover a broad range of daily health
challenges and each of the kits include books and audio tapes to
help educate you on many different ways to use essential oils.

The History of
Aromatherapy
The history of aromatherapy is reputed to date
back as far as 6000 years, although the term aromatherapy ("aroma"
meaning fragrance, and "therapy" meaning treatment) wasn’t
coined until the 20th Century.
The ancient Chinese, Greeks, Romans and
Egyptians all used aromatherapy oils.
The ancient Egyptians used plants for religious
rituals; it was believed that certain smells could raise higher
consciousness or promote a state of tranquility. They used the
fragrant oils from plants (essential oils) for embalming. Oils such
as myrrh, frankincense, cinnamon, cedarwood, and juniper berry are
all known to have been used in the mummification process to preserve
the bodies of their loved ones in preparation for the after-life.
As time went on, the Egyptians continued to
refine their use of aromatics in medicine, cosmetics, incense and
perfumes.
The ancient Chinese were using some form of
aromatherapy at or around the same time as the Egyptians. They used
herbs and burned aromatic woods and incense to show their respect to
God. The oldest surviving medical book in China, (dated around
2,700BC and written by Shen Nung, contains cures involving over
three hundred different aromatic herbs.
The Greeks continued the use of aromatic oils.
They used them for medicines and cosmetics. Aromatherapy came of age
when they took medicine into a new light 2000 years ago. The
earliest known Greek physician was Asclepius who practiced around
1200 BC combining the use of herbs and surgery with previously
unrivalled skill. His reputation was so great that after his death
he was deified as the god of healing in Greek mythology.
Hypocrites (400 BC), who was commonly known as
the "Father of Medicine", was the first to study essential oils'
effects. He believed that a daily aromatic bath and scented massage
would promote good health.
Theophrastus, a physician, wrote of the healing
properties of "aromatic" plants. For at least 1200 years, a book
written by a Greek physician named Pedacius Dioscorides about herbal
medicine was the Western world's standard medical reference. Many of
the remedies he mentions are still used in Aromatherapy today.
The Romans built upon the knowledge of the
Egyptians and Greeks and became well known for scented baths
followed by aromatic oil massage.
It was during the 19th century that scientists
in Europe began researching the effects of essential oils on
bacteria in humans.
Rene Maurice Gattefossé, a French chemist,
began research into the healing powers of essential oils in the
early 1900’s after he accidentally burned his hand in his
laboratory. On reflex, he immersed his burned hand in the closest
liquid which happened to be lavender oil. He was quite impressed by
how quickly the burn healed without infection and with no visible
scar. Gattefossé is credited with coining the word "aromatherapy".
In 1937, Gattefossé wrote a book called
Aromathérapie: Les Huiles essentielles hormones végétales which
was later translated into English and renamed Gattefossé’s
Aromatherapy.
As a result of Gattefossé’s experiments, Dr.
Jean Valet used essential oils to treat the injured soldiers during
world war two with great success.
Since then, there has been numerous studies and
books published on aromatherapy and the healing powers of essential
oils.
The late 1970’s / early 1980’s brought about
the use of essential oils and aromatherapy as a major part of
alternative and holistic healing across the world.
Aromatherapy: What’s It REALLY All About?
Who doesn’t love aromatherapy?
Only those who’ve never used it of course! BUT, most people can
appreciate and enjoy the pleasant aroma of a
scented candle,
a floral spray or perhaps a sensual scented oil massage.
Scents and oils could actually be
beneficial to your health and
well being. True aromatherapy isn’t just the
“smell good” stuff you can buy at your local grocery or drug store.
It’s actually considered to be a form of
holistic alternative medicine.
Aromatheraphy is a technique that
uses the body’s sense of smell to help boost your mood,
relieve stress,
energize and encourage better health. It’s also used to treat
certain emotional and physical conditions.
Pure
essential oils are the main ingredient in true
aromatherapy? Synthetic or chemically produced scents don’t carry
the
health benefits of essential
oils.
For example,
Peppermint
and
Eucalyptus
essential oils are mentally stimulating. They can help you to
maintain a clear focus. Try mixing this combination in water and
then pouring it over the hot rocks in a
traditional sauna.
You’ll love the tingly sensation throughout your body. I certainly
did!!

Peppermint Leaves |
Eucalyptus Blossom |
Lavender
and
Chamomile
have the opposite effect. If you’re feeling
stressed or anxious,
these two refreshing scents will help you relax. For example, a
night time massage with this combination and you’re off to la la
land…

Lavender |
Chamomile |
Are you feeling tired or lethargic?
Try
Lemon
and
Rosemary
essential oils to revitalize your body.
Get yourself and your family started here with a
program that makes sense and please stay in touch. Your health is
important to us so please make it important to you. Remember
"The Time is Always Now."
