De-Stress with Aromatherapy

Posted on November 25, 2019 by in Uncategorized

Do you know………….. We’re a society of chronic stress, an awful fact, that many of us don’t realize, but everyone likes to have some peace, quiet, and the inner serenity. We all know, here in America, we celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November, which is around the corner and is considered start of our Holiday season.

                  De-Stress with Aromatherapy

Especially around Holidays, we get stressed for many reasons like; the stress of planning, stress of gift exchange, stress of having family-friends over or visiting them, financial stress, the stress of keeping up with the fast-pace schedule amidst job-family responsibilities, and forget to enjoy the celebration.

While vastly different, each stressful situation, whether life-threatening or simple inconvenience, or dealing with day to day life or constantly under attack by outside forces (especially, our own loved ones), triggers a fight or flight response, releasing adrenaline and cortisol into the bloodstream. Adrenaline increases blood pressure and boosts energy supplies, while cortisol releases glucose into the bloodstream, and even altering the immune system, which can cause some serious health risks including:

Insomnia

High blood-pressure

Depression, Increased anxiety

Hormonal imbalances

Hostility and rage

Aggressive and impulsive behavior

This is why we need to work towards de-cluttering our life. Take a step back, and assess what is stressing you out? To avoid the holiday stress, plan things ahead of time including the regular weekly schedule, try to incorporate 20-60 minutes of daily exercise routine, make sure to have 8 hours of quality sleep per night, and spend time with family-friends-loved ones to comfort the heart and soul.

Aromatherapy is an effective alternative healthcare modality with the use of Essential oils that are probably best known for their calming and relaxing properties to maintain physical and mental health. Essential Oils are aromatic, volatile, liquid concentrate, extracted and distilled from the leaves, stems, flowers, bark, roots, and/or other parts of a plant. Essential Oils can be applied topically with proper dilution on wrist, neck, temple or can be used in diffuser. Some of the pure, natural, classic holiday aroma of Essential Oils such as; Cinnamon, Clove, Pine, Orange, Tangerine, Peppermint, Myrrh, Nutmeg, Ginger, Lavender, Frankincense, Sandalwood, Spruce, Patchouli, can help weather seasonal stress.

Holiday Aromatic Diffuser Blend

30 drops Sweet Orange

10 drops Cinnamon bark

10 drops Clove

5 drops Geranium or Ylang ylang

5 drops Pine

Blend oils in a 5 ml dark glass euro bottle, close, mix, label, and add 8-10 drops to diffuser or in a candle warmer as desired.

             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.

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.

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:

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.

Spiritual Health

Posted on October 28, 2019 by in Spiritual Health and Aromatherapy

Do you know…….Spirituality is not associated with religion, rather spirituality means a good stable emotional and mental health. It brings us into a greater harmony with ourselves (something bigger than one’s self), our surroundings, and to the divine or some supreme power.

Together with our physical hygiene, it’s of utmost importance to pay attention to

                        Spiritual Health

our emotional hygiene for a healthy living. We have to erase the impression of past incidents, because nothing could be done to reverse that, rather learn from our mistakes and save our energy field from the negativity to stay emotionally vibrant. Even before drinking water and eating our food, we should consciously pause for ten seconds to give positive affirmation of the family unity, happiness, love, respect, success, and so on to the water-food. Have a diary of gratitude, help the needy, and be a  strong human being to avoid being bullied. These things are easy said than done, but we all know that practice makes us perfect. Here are some beautiful quotes for our mind and soul:

“Don’t Take Anything Personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.”  Don Miguel Ruiz, Mexican author of Toltec spiritualist and neoshamanistic texts.

“We are all connected; To each other, biologically. To the earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe atomically.” Neil DeGrasse Tyson, American astrophysicist, author, and science communicator.

 “It does not matter how long you are spending on the earth, how much money you have gathered or how much attention you have received. It is the amount of positive vibration you have radiated in life that matters.” Dr. Amit Ray, an Indian author and spiritual master. Well known for his teachings on Om meditation, integrated yoga, peace and compassion.

Essential oils, just like aromatic herbs have been part of spiritual awakening practices since ages. Many religions and cultures use various essential oils in their rituals, ceremonies or healing modalities, anointing, to cleanse and purify sacred places of worship by diffusing them, or by applying topically, or using different aromatic applications. Essential oils are a powerful tool for spiritual growth, angelic communication, meditation, or to simply bring out mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual benefits. Researchers are finding the powerful influence the aromas of essential oils have on brain-wave activity. Essential oils release molecules into the air that interact with the nervous and endocrine systems in such a way that alter the release of hormones and neurotransmitters involved in mood, memory, emotions, and cognition.

To erase biggest inner blocks and unlock new levels of abundance, happiness, following Essential oils could be used:.

Cedarwood, Cypress, or Juniper Essential Oil

Basil or Rosemary Essential Oil

Ylang ylang Essential Oil

Palo Santo Essential Oil

Frankincense, or Myrrh Essential Oil

Patchouli Essential Oil

Spikenard (jatamansi) Essential Oil

Lavender Essential Oil

Can diffuse a blend or individual essential oil for spiritual guidance from higher self and divine light to cut down negativity or lower energies. Or place couple of drops on your palm, rub it with your palms, inhale the scent by cupping nose with your hands, say a prayer of gratitude for everything that you are blessed with. Or place a few drops on a cotton ball or a handkerchief to carry with you to attract good luck, repel negative energies, avoiding anxiety, stress, emotional trauma, and for a better communication.

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.

Being Love

Posted on October 7, 2019 by in Being Love

Do you know………..Our world topples over, when we are betrayed by the person, who we trusted and believed with our life. When you reach your pain threshold, you realize the truth that you have lost everything to your foolishness. We try to blame that person for our irreversible devastation without accepting the fact that, we are the one who gave that power to manipulate our emotions and sincere feelings. We thought he/she is our ‘Soul Mate’, but we didn’t understand the real meaning of this term, which is where two souls are in harmony in their energy of love, peace, and respect for each other. Sharing the joys and wonders of life with another being who lights up your world is priceless, which something every human being deserves to experience, but not at the cost of manipulation.

This is where ‘Being Love’, comes into play. We are trying to experience the bliss from external sources and seeking other’s approval, thinking that is natural, but not paying attention to our ‘Inner Self’. We believe our identity to be; our name, our position, our fame, our relationship, our family, our nationality, our religion, and our physical body that we have acquired on the journey of life. We have to experience the soul consciousness, because feeling inherently loved, powerful, blissful, and worthy comes from within not from your partner or from outside. Give this precious gift to yourself of ‘Myself’ and love yourself the way you are. Don’t waste your energy trying to change opinions. “You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection” – Buddha. “To fall in love with yourself is the first secret to happiness.”– Robert Morley. A powerful tool to make yourself feel better is to live in the moment and Mindful Meditation.

Aromatherapy/Essential Oils, due to their specific therapeutic aromatic compounds, that imparts a very grounding yet uplifting sense of balance, encourage positivity, focus, and alertness:

Basil Essential Oil: promotes positivity, assertiveness
Bergamot Essential Oil: is calming, encourages determination, willpower
Clary Sage Essential Oil: for positive mood, calm and peace
Frankincense Essential Oil: encourages personal and spiritual growth, clears up emotional exhaustion, depression
Fennel Essential Oil: raise self-esteem, stamina, ward off negative thoughts
Geranium, Rose Essential Oil: emotional support, dissolves frustration, irritability
Grapefruit Essential Oil: energizing, brings feeling of joy, alertness, spontaneity
Lavender Essential Oil: supports our sleep, mood, worries and apprehension.
Vetiver Essential Oil: encourages self-esteem and is very grounding,     control/adapt to Change

4 drops Patchouli Essential Oil

4 drops Orange, Neroli, or Grapefruit Essential Oil

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.

te our world surrounding us. It sounds absurd, but with our own choice, we have made our habit to get disturbed with unfavorable situations.
