hank you Mark Valentine for helping me get this blog up and running and all of you that have read it. I thought it would be fun sharing some of the amazing things that I have found written about essential oil and sharing this knowledge freely in the hopes that some of you may read and study and use these wonders in Aromatherapy as an alternative to other products out there.
My direct and personal experience with essential oils and Aromatherapy has been simply amazing. I have been able to find a means to stop horrible ear aches that bothered me all my life. I have seen my allergies subside and get better and back to normal. I have experienced a mental experience that has allowed me to quit drinking and smoking and I have totally changed my life style by changing my diet and exercise habits.
I will miss playing around this blog but I have a lot of other things to do in this life besides blogging so when everything expires on the domain name and the web hosting I will be gone…
Aromatherapy does work and anyone that tells you otherwise is a liar. It was largely derived from the trail and error method instead of the science method but that not mean that it does not work. Life is a trail and error experience too.
The only regret I have is I wish I would of be introduced to Aromatherapy while I was in my youth. I think my life would of turned out a whole lot more beautiful…
There are plenty of books written by excellent authors about Aromatherapy that can and will back up any claims about Aromatherapy.
Good bye and may all the blessings and love in this universe be there for you when you need them.

There has been a lot of talk about Aromatherapy and Natural plant products through out the years and there is a perception that a lot of people have that thinks that there is no powerful plants out there that is any good for pain or medical uses.
Where would western medicine be without Morphine? You know the product from a plant name opium?
This plant is used to make all kinds of pain killers and has no match made up by anyone in the face of the planet… It is the gold standard when dealing with pain. When anyone tells you that there is no power in plants and nature remind them that the most powerful pain killer comes from a plant please…

Aromatherapy
Mankind has been using various degrees of Aromatherapy for thousands of years and it still works as good as it did when it was first used. I just saw a special on TV about two MD’s that are using Aromatherapy now! One runs a cancer clinic and one uses it in her MD practice.
The MD with the cancer clinic uses essential oils, sound therapy and meditation for his clients going thru cancer treatments. He has found that people undergoing cancer treatments react more positive when they are getting essential oils, sound therapy and meditation because their immune systems are stronger then people that don’t have them. Worry and stress is well known to inhibit the immune system.
The second MD showed a school teacher that teaches ADHD students. When the school teacher told the class to study they did for a short amount of time then started getting restless and stopped studying. The teacher then put on some of the oils that the MD gave her and walked over to one of the students and didn’t say anything but let the student smell the oils on her. She said it a amazing, after a couple of minutes the student went back to studying and was clear and mentaly alert again.
It seems that all types of religions and different sects of people have used incenseand smells in religious ceremonies for thousands of years. The use of the sense of smell raises the mind to higher levels of mind and balances the mind and body so there is peace between them. The body and mind are in conflict a lot and even the different parts of the body are in conflict with each other parts of the body at times. The sense of smell can help you make a time when all the conflicts are held to rest allows the mind to focus on the soul and get more in tune with higher levels of thinking.
Alway remember that using the right amount of anything you do is better then overdoing it.
Working with others is where I have gained the most experience.
Almost all the people that come to me for massages are people that are feeling pain somewhere in their bodies and are doing something to ease that pain. I do chair massage in a health food store where people come find alternatives to a pill centered health system.
There are quit a few people in their eighties going in and out the store and I talk to them all the time. There is one common thread with these people. All the healthy people in their eighties are active and almost all of them exercise daily. They do good diets, exercise, get good rest and do body cleanses to keep their bodies free of toxins.
Well anyway when I am massaging people I feel what is going on in their necks, backs arms and hands while performing my massages.
The amazing thing I have found out it is if I use essential oil based oils on them the massages go much better then not and they respond much better to the massages with essential oils.
Another amazing thing is that their bodies are telling them in body laungage and signals to the brain where the pain is coming from and the intensity of the pain. When I massage a knot between the shoulders I can feel that area relaxing and I also feel and sense a relief from the brain when the knot begins to break up.
The amazing part of this is the body sends messages to the brain and if the brain can do something about like rubbing it the body senses this and relaxes and stops sending the message. If the brain does not do anything the pain remains and can stay there for a long time is nothing is done.
When the area gets massaged it increases the blood flow and gets the oxygen, food, new cells and detoxes the area all at the same time. The Circulatory system in our bodies does a lot for us. (I like Cayce saying about taking care of your self. Circulatory, assilimation, rest, and elimination)
If a person is experiencing pain the body is telling the brain that something is wrong. Very often it is a blockage of the circulatory system and the body is sending a message to the brain for help to clear out the blockage get the brain and other things flowing in the area. I have worked on people who have had blockages and knots and have suffered for weeks until enough pressure and movement has be applied for the normal circulation to return and all that pain goes away…
There are certain areas in all of us that are prone to bad circulation and hence pain. Massage, heat and cold can help you get the circulation going again and the pain will go away.
The Great writers in Aromatherapy and other fields have all been warning us "Toxins" in the food and air we breathe and this latest story on the web makes it official.
AP is reporting on Yahoo that there is no place in the United States where you can get Mercury Free fish.

There are those of us that want to leave the world to future generations as clean as we can and there are those that are so selfish that all they can do is think is "me me me" and continue to support a system that pollutes the earth for all our children and childrens children.
I believe that what we do for future generations is part of the "test" each of us has in life and I would not want to be in the camp that knowingly and willingly thinks they are "above" everyone else because they are superior to everyone else and can destroy the earth and those around them with no recourse.
Aromatherapy and detoxing is needed more today then ever to maintain ones health and where in western medicine do you see one place where this is acknowledged? Where is one report that says toxins in the food air and water will disable you natural abilities to heal yourself and contribute to a early grave?
Science directed discovery is no better then religious directed discovery when the ones directing it has a profit motive.
In Special Honor to the Babyboomers…
World War II ushered peace into a world that had seen millions killed and wounded by war and brought about the biggest baby boom in the history of mankind. Prosperity like never before was achieved in the following years unmatched by any period in time by mankind on the earth. It truly was a golden moment for mankind because all citizens were equal. We were born during these times.
We witnessed the first 9" television screen sets inside those 50 to 150 pound wooden boxes holding vacuum tubes and watched 3 channels of TV with our parents. As the screens grew larger and then in color we was awed by the space race unfolding between us and the Russians and then watching an American make the first step on the moon and hearing "One small step for man, One giant leap for mankind".
Transistor and stereo radios came on the scene and everyone was listening and singing to the new revolution of music that evolved quickly into rock and roll and everyone was feeling happy just being alive. We cruised main street in cars that would burn rubber and do a quarter mile at over one hundred miles an hour. We studied and learned about computers the size of whole floor of a university building at college. Disco became hip and we danced the nights away singing Elvis and the Bee Jees and all the other great bands and partying like there would be no end of the good old days. Looking back I still get a really nice feeling about everything from that era and how innocent we were.
Eventually we drifted apart, each of us on our own mission of the life. Some of us has already passed over out of this life into the unknown. Those of us remaining are now in middle age and heading towards the dreaded word, elderly.
I spent most of my life from those good old days to now doing the good old thing of working and paying the bills just like most of you. Then something happened and I changed course from what others wanted me to be to what I wanted to be and I found my bliss. I went to school and become a Massage Therapist and worked in gym and then into a health food store as a massage therapist. In order to renew my Massage licenses I took a Aromatherapy course and liked the health results that Aromatherapy made to my life so much I took a National Certification Course in Holistic Aromatherapy and recieved certification in 2003. I have been practicing Aromatherapy since then and have observed the world from inside the gyms and health food stores that have all the plant, herbal products and essential oils and have observed people who use them and how they can help one stay healthy without using all those dangerous drugs that are being used currently.
People are always telling me that the creator created the earth, the plants and humans in the same vein and we are closely related in many ways. Through the plants he created, he also created a way for animals and human beings to use these plants for a healthy life. Would any of us be here if there was no plants on the earth? I look into the night sky and am totally amazed that life on earth even could of started considering how big, vast and dangerous it is out there. I personally believe this earth was created for a reason and that guiding hands have guided it to this juncture.
I am proud to be one of those babyboomers and I think I was born during these great times for a reason. I am writing about what I have seen and to pass on this knowledge to others in the hope that it help other babyboomers through middle age and how to live a healthy and happy life. There are alternatives that one can do to stay healthy and learning about these are in your own self interests not some big company that cares about their profits more then your health.
It is not just about babyboomers however. We unlike any other generation born before on the earth was blessed with the ability to actually lead mankind into the next level coming up. We experienced life from an angle that had never ever been experienced before. We are the only ground breakers that can steer humanity in the right direction into the future.
Everybody is all freaked out about the depression or recession depending on who you listen too. Listen to me now. The rich has been almost wiped out and their power over how everything is run is ebbing. That is the best thing I have heard in my whole lifetime! The good news is all the generations after us are going to be able to buy homes at a affordable cost and get health care at a affordable cost.
As far as health care is concerned in the future a society that really takes care of "all" of its people in a caring matter and uses all the "Natural" ways to meet this vital means is a society that is worthly of the what we are and where mankind needs to go for everyones sake…

Being a Holistic Aromatherapist I have come to think differently about the holistic approach to health because I have seen and know more about the two subjects.
While reading "In Light times Year 20, issue 4 Concepts for Conscious Living" I ran accross an article that was headlined "CHEERIOS CEREAL NOW CONSIDERED "UNAPPROVED DRUG" SAYS FDA.
This because the cereal manutacturer General Mills was claiming that Cheerios can help lower cholesterol and saying on their website thatdiets rich in whole grains can reduce the risk of heart diease. The FDA sent them a letter saying that it now is considered an "unapproved drug" and must go to the expense of going through the FDA new drug process.
More can be found over at this new site I found researching the story at:
TheHolisticOption.com
I think we all can do more to make "our" medical system work better and their home page has links to other sites that trying to do this in a proper and legal way.
They mention that some company that made health claims about fish oil did comply and went thru the process with the FDA and guess what? They proved their claims and now sell their fish oil products legally now at ten times what you would pay somewhere else for the same product because they have to "re coup" the costs of going thru the FDA.
This struck me as the biggest thing about how wrong the "system" is in deciding the "medicines" and other health issues in "our society" at this time. Money talks and the rest of us walks… After all this time of learning from the past to guide us into the future we have come down to a money game by those that have the power to use it and control the system it is not about health it is about money. Unbelievable…
There are some really big changes coming soon and they are going to be for the better for "us" the new society that puts knowledge over greed to make it better for every living being on this beautiful planet Gaia.
Check out the links about and get active in helping us change the way things run and making the world better for us, our children, and so on…
