situations and gracefully face everyday challenges, to maintain loving relationships, even get rid of addictions that hindered in the past and can reclaim control over a hopelessness. Serenity is not just for monks, nuns and hermits hiding away in the mountains. It is an essential state of our mind, body, and soul.

It’s not easy to achieve serenity, but once achieved cannot be disrupted easily by the physical noises of the world and can’t be taken away. It is a deep, inner, spiritual serenity that envelops the soul. We should not have unrealistic expectations of perfection as there is nothing like; Perfect marriages, Perfect relationships, Perfect families, Perfect workplaces, or Perfect……anything, that exists. Therefore, it’s to our benefit to accept these facts and avoid resentments to disturb our serenity. These are some tips to practice for attaining serenity in our daily lives:

Be kind and respectful toward others to get reciprocated

Get enough sleep: to wake up with a clear – relaxed mind.

Keep your space clean and organized to keep mind clutter free

Practice regular yoga, meditation, exercise to calm the mind from wandering and useless thoughts

Read and use serenity quotes by hanging on refrigerator, around home, on your office desk, in your car to stay reminded

Consume healthy diet

Do you know——–Brain Blip is a temporary inability to remember information like; forgetting names of a person-place, forgetting why you entered a room, can’t find a word want to use, etc.

             Aromatherapy for Brain Blips

Also, in our fast-paced culture of constant distractions with texts and e-mails, it’s not easy to maintain our concentration and stay focused. Sometimes, it could be very frustrating and if this brain blip gets progressively worse, then conventional medical intervention is necessary. However, together with healthy diet (Foods high in omega-3s, vitamins, and minerals are beneficial for focus, attention, and memory, like; avocados, blueberries, caffeine in moderation, flax seeds, dark leafy green vegetables and much more), regular exercise, yoga, and the use of essential oils, is a great way to keep focused throughout the day without having to deal with side effects of traditional drugs.

Essential oils are natural, volatile, aromatic plant compounds that have been used for thousands of years for their variety of health benefits. Recently, supplements containing essential oils from natural plant sources have also begun to grow in popularity. However, always seek an expert advice before ingesting essential oils in any form. Essential oils have amazing effects on our mental state by protecting our brain from damage by free radicals, stimulate the nervous system, and could elevate people’s mood as well. Using essential oils to either stimulate or relax the mind to improve focus and concentration should be practiced diligently. Mostly, essential oils high in sesquiterpenes (a class of terpenes that consist of three isoprene units. One isoprene unit has 5 carbons with hydrogens attached to it, the empirical formula C15H24) are used aromatically to promote clarity and focus. Some of the Essential Oils used for focus and concentration are:

Lavender, Cedarwood, Myrrh, Patchouli, Frankincense, Rosemary, Sandalwood, Peppermint, Spearmint, Vetiver, Lemon, Wild Orange, Clary sage, Black Pepper, Ylang ylang, Eucalyptus

On-the-Go Rollerball Blend

Do you know…….Generally Labor Day weekend means, end of summer is upon us. That is, winding down from summer craziness of traveling-camping-back yard parties-beaches-park

        Alleviate Anxiety with Essential Oil

rides, and for most of the students, start of new school year after a long summer break. This year in Mid-West, we had a very short Summer, no Fall, and sudden Winter with unseasonal snow on Halloween. So, guess what, we had a white Halloween and now Christmas is around the corner. For many, all this could be a cause of anxiety.

 

Anxiety is a general feeling of apprehension and feeling anxious about a situation, eg: social anxiety, reaching school on time, new classmates. new teachers, homework, about the future, going for a job interview, separation anxiety, etc. It’s normal to experience occasional anxiety, but when it becomes persistent and overwhelming, then it could be anxiety disorder, eg: obsessive compulsive disorder, PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), panic attacks and needs immediate medical attention. Anxiety-related illnesses are on the rise. Anxiety is often linked to depression and living with anxiety could be exhausting which could happen at any time. Anxiety is not just in someone’s head as it often manifests in physical symptoms of depression, dizziness, fainting, heart palpitations, lethargy, loss of appetite, loss of sleep, nausea, nervous twitches, sweating, shaking, stuttering, and even suicidal thoughts. The constant struggle with anxiety, could wear people down emotionally, mentally, and physically.

Many studies have shown the usefulness of Essential Oils in alleviating anxiety. Since centuries, Essential Oils have been utilized in cosmetics, fragrances, healing, as an antiseptic, and for health remedies. These Essential Oils are natural, volatile, concentrated extracts taken from the roots, leaves, seeds, bark, or blossoms of plants. It should be diluted for a safe topical application following all safety rules and an expert advice. Following Essential Oils could be used to relieve anxiety symptoms:

Emotional Health Bonding

Posted on October 14, 2019 by in Emotional Health Bonding

Do you know……. I heard on Brahma Kumaris ((World Spiritual Organization) talk show, that to Give, you have to be Emotionally Rich. This doesn’t mean that emotionally healthy people don’t feel stress, anger, and sadness, but they know how to effectively manage their negative

feelings? Emotional Health Bonding is focusing on being in tune with our emotions which fosters resilience, self-awareness, and overall contentment together with our sound physical health. We should groom our emotional bonding before getting into any relationship. Here I am not talking only about friendship or marriage or parenting type of relationship, rather from the time of conceiving, we should establish an emotional health bonding with the fetus in mother’s womb. Believe it or not, we are creating the child’s personality in the womb. We have heard that our mood (e.g.: anger, sadness, stress, frustrations) regulates type of hormonal secretion in our body, which in turn affects baby’s physical and emotional growth in the womb. Therefore, during pregnancy one should not only take care of their physical health, but should be mindful of their surroundings, their thoughts, and their emotional health.

It’s so true, in this fast-paced technology driven world, as we go about doing our business, we constantly pick up emotional baggage of negativity. Some of the hurtful comments and situations continue to play over and over in our head which after a while causes damaging effect to our emotional as well as physical health. Therefore, it’s of utmost importance that we take time to review, unload, and free ourselves of these toxic build ups to enjoy the gift of today.

There are many ways to improve and maintain good emotional health:

Be aware of your emotions and reactions to make proper adjustments

Express your feelings in appropriate manner without keeping it inside

Think calmly before acting on your emotions

Manage your stress through relaxation, breathing, yoga, meditation

Strive for healthy balance between work, family, and your own needs

Take care of your physical health by exercising, healthy diet, and good sleep

Create positive social connections with others

Find purpose and meaning in your life by volunteering, helping others in need

Stay positive, be thankful, forgive others and forgive yourself for making mistakes, spread love

 Researchers have found that Essential oils are a great way to reconnect back with nature and to achieve feelings of peace and forgiveness. When we inhale a distinct aroma, the scent travels through the olfactory system (controls our sense of smell) to the limbic system of our brain that produces a distinct response to the aroma to enhance our well-being and manage emotions. Based on individual requirement, can use following category essential oils to reap the benefit:

Calming Essential oils: Floral oils, are typically composed of monoterpene alcohols that have calming properties
Grounding Essential Oils: Tree, herb, and grass oils, primarily include sesquiterpenes, esters, and oxides that have grounding, soothing emotions and feelings of renewal properties
Uplifting & Energizing Essential Oils: Citrus oils, typically possess limonene, beta-pinene, and monoterpenes and Peppermint oil is energizing because high concentration of ketones
Warming Essential Oils: Typically Spice oils, because of their phenol content
Use our Serenity Blend Spray for achieving a state of relaxation and refreshing feel. Can be misted lightly on body and neck or use as a room freshener.

Amazing Aromatherapy

Posted on September 30, 2019 by in Amazing Aromatherapy

Do you know…………..The last week I was in Minneapolis, MN, for 2019 AIA (Alliance of International Aromatherapists) conference. I met several experts of this field, teachers, educators, colleagues, and attended several educational, informational presentations that empowered me being a Clinical Aromatherapist. Here are snippets of what we learnt as it’s not feasible to share the intricacies of the science of this healing modality in few minutes, which is not only aroma:

How to practice the art and science of this ancient culture of Aromatherapy within the scope of legal guidelines.

Aromatherapy is a part of Integrative Medicine like; Acupuncture, Chiropractor, Massage Therapy, Ayurveda, etc. that is used as a complementary, holistic approach to a person’s physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing in conjunction with conventional medicine. It takes into account, a complex interplay of person’s biological, behavioral, psychosocial and environmental influences. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” The concept of holism dates back to ancient Vedic culture. “properties of a whole are not determined by those of its parts” (Healy, 2016, Patestos, Anuffuro, and Walker, 2019).

How to establish a working relationship with conventional medicine practitioners to recognize Aromatherapy as a holistic patient-centered approach for symptom management?

Introduce and educate people with the therapeutic importance of safe clinical, holistic use of Essential Oils for the benefit of their overall well-being, eg: nausea, pain management, sleep problem, infection, etc.

Benefits of Healing Touch

Posted on September 8, 2019 by in Benefits of Healing Touch

Do you know………To love and being loved, is a fundamental human right. It’s something that just happens in human social relations and settings. Love is a gift and one should always treasure it. Together with a compliment or a kind word at the right moment, a caress is like food for our emotional well-being. Every living creature (human as well as animals-pets, I even touch and talk to my plants) needs physical contact to have a sense of security, sense of strength, sense of belonging in their group, their family, their community. A compassionate, loving-caring touch is an important part of our survival and well-being, whether it is an adult or a child or an animal. Especially, for our aging population with dementia (in 2013, an estimated 15 million family and friends in the U.S. provided care to a loved one with dementia), or with serious health issues at home or nursing homes and/or in hospice care.

    Benefits of Healing Touch

The Healing Touch Program (HTP) is an evidence based international, multi-level educational program in energy medicine therapy based on the curriculum created by registered nurse Janet Mentgen in 1989. This energy-based healing modality is gentle, biofield (magnetic energy field around the body), nurturing therapy that takes place without invasive procedures, medications or equipment. The practitioner simply places his or her hands lightly on or just above the individual in a heart-centered and intentional way to support and facilitate physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. Energy therapies focus on removing energy congestion that form in our energy fields (aura) and energy centers (chakras). Once these imbalances and disturbances are cleared, the energy channels resume their task of integrating the body, mind and soul to restore health and promote self-healing. Over the years, researchers have developed ways to measure the energy field. For further information on HTP, please do your own research.

Therefore, it’s necessary for health care providers to practice this holistic approach to meet the psychological and behavioral health needs of their patients-clients. Healing touch is currently used in hospitals and healthcare facilities across the country. I always perform the ‘M’ Technique® (learnt during my Dr. Jane Buckle’s Clinical Aromatherapy training) on my clients to provide therapeutic hand and/or foot massage with compassionate touch during their aromatherapy, energy healing session using essential oils to enhance the healing process.

Essential Oils are natural liquid compound extracted from different parts of the plants and possess unique therapeutic properties. Essential Oils have been used since centuries in perfumery and as a physical, spiritual, emotional healing aid. Essential oils high in sesquiterpenes can cross the blood-brain barrier.

Absorption of Essential Oils

Posted on August 19, 2019 by in Absorption of Essential Oils

Do you know……..Essential oils get absorbed in our body in three ways, either by:

Inhalation through Olfactory System

Topical application (through skin)

Ingestion

 Inhalation is the easiest, effective, and inexpensive mode of Essential oil administration that can be carried out anywhere at any time. Inhalation is especially helpful in alleviating emotional problems like stress, anxiety, depression and respiratory problems, as some essential can be directly transported to the lungs within no time. The sense of smell is the most primitive of all our senses and travels to brain faster than sight or sound. Aroma can trigger memory of emotional and even physical responses of people or places. When any scent is inhaled, the aromatic molecules travel up to the nose and get trapped by olfactory membrane nerve cells that triggers electrical impulses to the olfactory bulb that transmits impulses to the limbic system of the brain. Limbic system directly connects to those parts of the brain that controls our heart rate, breathing, memory, stress level. Therefore, Essential Oils can have profound physiological, psychological effect on our well-being. Helen Keller, an American Educator, who was deaf and blind, once said, “Smell is a potent wizard that transports us across thousands of miles and all the years we have lived.”

Essential oils are applied topically, either neat (undiluted) or as a blend in a carrier oil. Essential oils are lipophilic (fat-loving or fat-soluble) i.e. they mix well with oil and have a greater tendency for transdermal absorption. Researchers have proved that all essential oil components have molecular weight under 500 Dalton (the standard measurement unit of atomic mass), so they penetrate through outer layer of our skin, the epidermis, with relative ease, make into the bloodstream, and diffuse to various organs. Skin (outer layer) —-> Skin (inner layer) —-> Capillaries —->Blood stream —-> Target organs —-> Cell receptors —> Metabolized and excreted. While traveling in the body, the oils also act to revitalize and detoxify organs involved in metabolism and drainage (kidneys, liver and lymphatic network).  Besides this, viscosity of essential oils also effect the penetration through the epidermis to blood vessels for systemic circulation.

The oral ingestion of essential oils is not a common practice in the US, but in France, it is more common, under the observation of a trained Aromatherapists, specially trained physicians, and pharmacists. Studies show that taking essential oils internally is the least effective way to reap their therapeutic benefits as the oil ends up in the digestive tract before reaching the bloodstream. Oral ingestion of essential oils is NOT recommended for the general public because some essential oils can be toxic to the liver or kidneys, or could show potential drug interactions, or the beneficial chemical constitution could change during gastric processing. Therefore, either educate yourself in essential oil practice or seek expert advice.

Vibrational Healing with Aromatherapy

Posted on July 29, 2019 by in Vibrational Healing with Aromatherapy

Do you know…… The aura is an electromagnetic force field that surrounds all living things in both the animal and plant kingdom and interpenetrates the physical body. Everything is made up of energy and has a vibrational frequency which is the rate at which vibration occurs and it could be changed. Our body attunes to its surroundings. That’s why it’s important to surround with things that have a positive frequency or vibration (vibes or awareness). Any energy disturbances i.e. the

         Vibrational Healing with Essential Oil

change in the harmonious coherent frequencies of the subtle body due to any physical or emotional or organic imbalance, precede the appearance of disease and illness in the physical body. This blockage of the flow of life energy can be characterized by inflammation, irritation, and illness. The frequency of human body can be measured by a Biofeedback machine, that usually operate by detecting skin temperature, muscle tension, and/or brain wave activity.

According to researchers in Washington, using Tainio Technology, the vibrational frequency of Essential oils are the highest of any other measured natural substances. Essential oils have been used for centuries for their healing and medicinal properties. Through the principle of entrainment, the oil’s higher frequency will raise the vibratory quality of the individual. For example;

Rose oil is typically cited as the highest frequency essential oil, resonating at 320 MHz (although some research has indicated that Idaho Blue Spruce can reach up to 580 MHz). Frequencies of some common essential oils:

Frankincense: 147 MHz

Lavender: 118 MHz

Myrrh: 105 MHz

Sandalwood: 98 MHz

Angelica: 85 MHz

Peppermint: 78 MHz

Basil: 52 MHz

A healthy body typically has a frequency ranging from 62 to 78 MHz, whereas disease sets in at 57 MHz. Fresh produce and herbs vibrate from 20 to 27 MHz, whereas dry herbs carry a frequency between 12 and 22 MHz. Canned and processed foods have no measurable frequency (0 MHz).

Based on the information, by changing your food choices and by smelling, diffusing, and topically applying high quality Essential oils, you can almost immediately increase your vibrational energy for your well-being.

Aromatherapy for Health Maintenance

Posted on April 29, 2019 by in Aromatherapy for Health Maintenance

Do you know……Just the other day, someone sent this message on WhatsApp:

“Medicine is not Health Care, Medicine is Sick Care. Good food, Vigorous exercise, Great friends, Sound sleep, Mental stimulation—That’s Health Care.” Write Yourself a Prescription……Marc Middleton

I thought of sharing with you all because as a Clinical Aromatherapist, I too believe in Holistic approach to our health care. In this technologically driven modern world, we are forgetting to interact with our natural surrounding and not reaping the healing benefits which our ancestors did. We are damaging our own health by breaking the law of nature and by breaking our relationship with mother nature. Now, researchers are recognizing the healing and nurturing properties of combining the alternative health care modalities with conventio

nal allopathic medicine for our mind-body-soul healthy maintenance. As a result, natural medicine and prevention is gaining popularity in dealing with chronic disorders. Fortunately, our body is a self-maintaining, self-repairing, and self-healing machine, as long as we take good care of it.

Unlike in the Western tradition, in Chinese medicine, they consider the interdependence of physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of a patient. So, for the whole person to be healthy, the sum of its parts must be healthy. For the maintenance of optimum health, prevention is the best practice by following healthy diet, exercising, hygiene, proper rest, and resp

ecting our environment. Similarly, Ayurveda, which means in Sanskrit, ‘knowledge of life’, originated in India more than 5,000 years ago from the ancient Vedic culture and is often called the “Mother of All Healing”, places great emphasis on individual body’s physical constitution, emotional nature, spiritual outlook, and balance in one’s life.

Aromatherapy is the art and science of using Essential Oils, that are aromatic

, volatile compounds extracted from various parts of plants to improve physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Essential oils affect our physiology, emotions, and behavior by stimulating hormones and neurotransmitters and should be used correctly often by inhali

ng, or by diffusing, or by applying topically with proper dilution (refer to aromawellness.net). Aromatherapy can be used as an alternative, holistic treatment together with conventional medicine or with other complementary treatments like; massage, acupuncture, acupressure, crystal healing for the maintenance of our healthy body and alleviating certain conditions. Like:

Stress, anxiety

Chronic Pain

Easing Nausea

Soothing Sore Muscles

Trouble Sleeping
