What is aromatherapy?
It is the use of essential oils and aromatic plants in a clinical,
therapeutic or shamanic practice to heal.
Aromatherapy is not just about the
smell or scent of the oil. That scent of the oils
gives us volumes of information that pertain to their healing potentialities.
The Soil, water, air,
the purity of environment, stress on the plant, social-economic
conditions, etc. all affect the production of the chemicals which
make up the essential oils in flowers, herbs and trees. Many sensitive
people can smell the oil and determine many details of the origin
of that oil. Emotional and mental states are often transcended by
aromas. After all, haven’t you smelled something you love,
only to realize that you have been daydreaming for many minutes
and forgetting about what had been bothering you?
That is Pranic
Intelligence!
The Plants create essential oils for their own protection, for reproduction,
and to draw in pollinators. The chemicals within them are highly
specialized for their effects. Allowing the oils to reach into your
mind and consciousness to find the memories, images, visions your
deep self will provide to help you heal. However, even without that
sensitivity, or even without the ability to smell at all, much healing
can occur on many levels.
The essential oilsare the most potent distillation form
aromatic plants. The qualities each plant posses holds keys to transformation
for health, physically, mentally and emotionally. Because of this
potency, and the high accessibility of aromatherapy, it has become
a household word whose meaning runs deep in many regions of the
world. Even if a tradition does not refer to their practices as
“aromatherapy”, most have traditional teas, resins and
oil imbibed with rich plant material for traditional healing functions.
Many regions have oils or resins whose uses are recorded in history
books. Why are these plants so revered for their effects, scents,
etc? Essential
Oils are highly regarded in Aruvedic medicine as
the strongest potency available for certain plants. When applied
neat on the skin, particular oils benefit in eradicating germs and
healing wounds. When applied with unguent base oils, through baths,
diffusers, compresses, massage or direct inhalation; all essential
oils have health benefits.
There are over 400 plants
whose essential oils are cultivated for therapeutic use. The plant
material is distilled, and this process separates the rich oil from
the water in the plant and two products are rendered; the essential
oil and the hydrosol. The hydrosols of almost all plants are safest
for use around sensitive persons, on the skin directly, and even
internally. Most essential oils are not used internally however,
and should never be assumed they are safe for ingestion.
During a Healing aromatic
treatment the primary function of the essential oils are to transfer
the pranic intelligence of the plants throughout the body, assisting
the body in radically enhancing the available healing potentiality
inherent in our bodies and to enhance the treatment involved. The
Essential oils are applied to the body “anointing” hands,
feet, head, neck, areas of pain, etc. Or the essential oils are
simply just smelled in order to benefit health and well -being.
