AromaTherapy

AromaTherapy is one of the most ancient healing arts.

The use of pure essential oils from plants dates back many centuries, and the history of aroma therapy is in many ways part of the history of herbal medicine as a whole. The Arabic countries are credited with first discovering the process of distillation of oils, around a thousand years ago. The antiseptic powers of essential oils were used to stop the putrefaction of corpses in the mummification process.

The Greeks, too used plant essences - for aromatic bath and scented massages, as well as for healing wounds. Modern research has conformed the therapeutic effect of essential oils. At Milan University, for example, depression and anxiety have been successfully treated by Dr.Paolo Revesti, using aerosol-sprayed oils, and in the USSR a type of eucalyptus oil has been found beneficial in the treatment of a strain of influenza - an important finding, since very few natural anti-viral agents have been identified Like vitamins and minerals, many essential oils are taken up selectively by different organs of the body.

You can test this for yourself by rubbing the soles of your feet with a cut garlic clove, then smelling your breath a few hours later. The first time you visit the aroma therapist, he or she will want to find out about your diet,lifestyle, and present symptoms, your past illnesses and treatments, in order to establish a basis for diagnosis. Some therapists use the pendulum to find the right oil. Once your particular remedy is chosen, a few drops of the oil are either massaged into skin (maximum of 20 drops per 100 ml of base oil), inhaled, or added to a hot bath (place 6 drops on the surface of the bath water just before entering).

Essential oils are very concentrated: add a drop at a time and only use the amounts suggested. Do not use an oil on a daily basis for more than 10 days. Do not inhale or mix too many oils together at one time. Two oils will be the best.

Auricula Therapy

To all my friends and friends of their friends.

Ears
We’re all so stressed this days and you are probably know that stress is lowering our immune system…

Long time ago when I was diagnosed with the heart condition, and it was a stress related condition, my doctor told me that I could die. I didn’t like that verdict and went to study holistic medicine.

One of the class was the auriculotherapy, acupressure on the ears, similar to acupuncture, just without the needles.

I would like to share with you some information from that course.

I am going to show you only one point from that class and teach how to use it.

It’s not only relaxing but it’s also bringing up our immune system, it’s what we all need those days.

Let’s started, but before we’ll do that please drink 0.5-1 cup of warm water 30 min before it:
  1. Inhale (tummy is going out), exhale (tummy in) and hold it as much it’s comfortable (repeat 10 times),
    It’s improving blood circulation, helping the cardio-vascular system and getting more oxygen to the lungs.
  2. Normal breathing, push the point on the both ears, at the same time with the index fingers (it will close the ear ways, if you are doing correctly) and shake it for 2 minutes. Repeat 5-6 times daily, see the image with the point below

This exercise will bring the energy and immune system up. Do not do the point before you are going to sleep. 

 Please tried, you have nothing to loose. 

Be blessed.
