even with unwanted pains and aches. There are plenty of ways to continue living life to its fullest with awareness of our limitations. Being active is not only beneficial for physical health, rather it’s helpful in reducing depression, stress, anxiety, and sleeplessness. Researchers found to maintain physical activity, seniors could do the following:

 

Puzzles: improve vocabulary and intelligence, teach patience, reinforce concentration with fun and entertaining, staying mentally healthy

Exercise regularly: that also stimulates brain and memory

Take a walk outdoors: that recharge our mood

Consume healthy food: will keep immune system healthy by taking care of the gut that contains good as well as bad bacteria and to maintain the abundance of good bacteria, we should consume food and supplements containing probiotics

Together with physical activities, Aromatherapy (with the use of Essential Oils) provide wonderful comfort for the elderly as a holistic approach to their health care. Essential Oils are natural concentrated extract of plants with specific therapeutic properties that has been used since centuries to cure different ailments. Aromatherapy is both art and science of using Essential Oils with its healing properties to provide an uplifting environment:

Pampering our Feet with Aromatherapy

Posted on April 8, 2019 by in Pampering our Feet with Aromatherapy

Do you know…….Our feet is the most neglected part of our body, while they deserve lot of pampering. Because, our feet carry our weight (light or heavy) day after day without any vacation

except for the night time when most of us are in bed sleeping or if we are sick. We cram our feet into tight socks, gym shoes, and pinching high heels, or standing around chatting-working, or walking to class-work-to the car, or running to catch a train-bus, or exercising, etc., etc. Energetically the feet represent our connection with earth and rooting us to Mother Nature, the sense of being grounded.

There are 26 bones in each foot and there are over 7,000 nerve endings called reflexes that correspond to every organ and system within our body. By pressing on these reflex points, we can stimulate the nervous system and open energy pathways that may be blocked or congested.

That’s why when we walk bare feet on fine sand or soft grass, we get the mesmerizing euphoric feel.

We should not wait to take care of our feet only when it starts to hurt, rather give it a tender loving care (TLC) at regular interval with reflexology, footbath and foot massage with Essential oil, that can reduce pain, stress, dryness, and can have calming effect. Essential Oils are natural extracts of plants with amazing individual therapeutic properties and have been used since centuries to cure different ailments. Especially, people with diabetes can have more damaged nerve endings. Here is couple of my Essential Oil blends that you could make at home and enjoy the affordable spa like treatment.

Relaxing Sugar Pedi Scrub:

¼ cup fine white sugar

¼ cup brown sugar

½  cup olive oil(can use Almond Carrier Oil)

15 drs Lavender Essential Oil(for winter can use Cinnamon E. Oil)

15 drs Lemon Essential Oil

10 drs Peppermint Essential Oil

8 drs Geranium Essential Oil (can use Ylang ylang E. Oil)

5 dr Vit E

Mix sugar well in a glass bowl making sure no lumps present. Add essential oils in different places on sugar mixture and mix well. Add rest of the ingredients and mix well. Store in individual tin or glass containers or in a large glass jar and close the lid. Label.

The best way to take full advantage of the scrub is to have a footbath ready (heat up 2-3 pints of water, pour into a foot bowl or any large pan-tub-bucket that you could soak feet). First gently massage the scrub on your ankles and feet, then soak feet in the ready footbath till the water is warm or 10-15 minutes, gently wash off the residual scrub in the footbath water, and pat dry your feet with a towel. Or if you just want to soak the feet in warm footbath without massaging the foot scrub, add 1/4 cup of Epsom salt and some Essential Oil (may be 4 drops Lavender Essential Oil, 2 drops Lemon Essential Oil, 2 drops Tea tree Essential Oil) to give your achy-tired feet some relief, wash off any foot odour, and feel rejuvenated.

and table salt, based on our taste and choice. Sea salt, also called bay salt, solar salt, is salt that is produced by the evaporation of salt water bodies. Since ancient times, sea salt has been used for its therapeutic properties in healing injuries, wounds, as a seasoning in cooking, cosmetics, and for preserving food. Unlike refined salts, the preparation of sea salt usually includes very little processing. It is little darker, flakier or in crystal form, retains its moisture, minerals (vital minerals like; sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, bromide, chloride, iron, copper, fluoride, and zinc, among others), and therapeutic qualities that is easily utilized and absorbed by the human body. The climate and the geographical location of the region (The Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, and the North Sea are the main regions) also play a significant role in the quality and combination of minerals present in the sea salt.

Health Benefits of Sea Salt

 Sea salt consists of a similar assortment of minerals and natural healing elements as those found on skin cells. This makes it a perfect natural ingredient to be used for therapeutic treatments combined with Essential Oils in Aromatherapy:

Aromatherapy and Prevention of Suicidal Thought

Posted on March 25, 2019 by in Aromatherapy and Prevention of Suicidal Thaought

Do you know…………Suicidal thoughts are those that involve ending one’s own life, usually rooted in feelings of hopelessness, depression, anxiety, other mental illness, isolation, and abusing drugs or alcohol. This could also be triggered by a major life changing event. Sadly, this leaves behind families, friends, teachers, and therapists all wondering what could have possibly been done to prevent them?

This article is just for informational purpose. If you come across someone suffering from suicidal thoughts and depression, please listen to them compassionately and seek appropriate help immediately.

According to the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention, suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the US. In 2017, 47,173 Americans committed suicide and 1,400,000 attempts were made. According to the Jason Foundation, more teenagers and young adults die from suicide each year than from cancer, heart disease, AIDS, birth defects, stroke, pneumonia, influenza and chronic lung disease combined.

     Aromatherapy for Suicidal Thought

Unfortunately, we live in a different world now where life style, our food, our environment, and stress level has changed. If our body is not equipped to deal with it i.e. if our body is unable to filter those free radicals and millions – billions more floating in our vicinity, compared to the anti-oxidant we have in our body to combat them, we feel sick. This affect us emotionally, mentally as well and we develop a feeling of failure, depression, isolation, etc. Ultimately, in few instances, could turn into a suicidal thought too. Depression can affect the way people feel, think, react to the situation and can cause both physical and emotional symptoms, like:

 

anxiety

restlessness

sadness

difficulty concentrating

difficulty sleeping

feeling of failure, incapable to handle the situation

First step to prevention of suicidal thoughts is awareness and education by alerting family members/Parent to have family meeting with love and compassion, a therapist, teacher, or suicidal hotline (The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline available at 1-800-273-8255 (TALK) is a free and confidential service available 24/7), consuming an anti-depression diet, supplementing to support cognitive health, exercise, and Aromatherapy with the use of Essential Oils. Essential Oils are natural plant extracts with different therapeutic properties and have been used since ancient times to cure different ailments. A sense of smell is one of the five senses and a powerful connector between people and the world around them. Aromas are highly emotive and everyone reacts to scents differently based on their past experiences, memory, and emotions. This, in turn, may provide some relief in mood disorders, such as depression. Essential oils that could be helpful are:

  1. Bergamot
  2. Lavender
  3. Roman Chamomile
  4. Ylang Ylang
  5. Sweet orange
  6. Grapefruit
  7. Neroli
  8. Frankincense
  9. Jasmine
  10. Sandalwood

Aromatherapy and Sense of Smell

Posted on March 18, 2019 by in Aromatherapy and Sense of Smell

Do you know……..today, when I was searching TED talk, came across, ‘The Historical Significance of Smell’ by Caro Verbeek. Yes! You guessed it right, being an Aromatherapist, I immediately opened it and was amazed to hear her talk about Neroli, Myrrh, Fran

Aromatherapy and Sense of Smell

kincense Essential Oils and the way she diffused oils for her audience.

Smell is one of the five senses (taste, sight, touch, smell, and hearing) that we all have. If one sense is not working due to an accident or illness, then other senses take over or become stronger to make up for the missing sense and give us clear picture of the things around us. Helen Adams Keller, an American author, political activist, and lecturer, who was deaf-blind said, “Smell is a potent wizard that transports us across thousands of miles and all the years we have lived.” Our nose is an important protrusion on our face that is used to smell. Our sense of smell allows us to learn, to taste, to protect and alert from danger (gas leak, spoiled or burnt food, fire), to enjoy our world. In addition to being the organ for smell, the nose also cleans the air we breathe and impacts the sound of our voice. Dogs have a more sensitive sense of smell than human.

It’s beyond the scope of this article to discuss the anatomy of nose and the physiology of olfaction. But, for our simple understanding; inside of the nose is lined with mucous membranes (secretes mucus that captures dust, germs, and other small particles that could irritate your lungs) that have millions of tiny odor receptors, connected to olfactory nerve. When odor molecules of various substances that travel through the air into our nose, these odor receptors are stimulated and send signals that travel along the olfactory nerve to the olfactory bulb. The olfactory bulb is underneath the front of your brain just above the nasal cavity. Signals are sent from the olfactory bulb to other parts of the brain to be interpreted as a smell we may recognize and identify with our environment. The sense of smell is sometimes lost for a short time when a person has a cold and we can’t taste the food during that period. Many people who have smell disorders also notice problems with their sense of taste. Problems with the sense of smell increase as people get older, and they are more common in men than women.

In 1991, laureates Richard Axel of Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Linda Buck at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center discovered about 1,000 genes that encode for olfactory receptors inside the human nose. They also found that each receptor is tuned for only a small number of odors.

Scientists regarded Limbic System of the Brain, as playing a major role in controlling our mood, memory, behaviour and emotions. Given that our sense of smell plays an important part in our psychological make-up, in Aromatherapy, we use fragrant Essential Oils with their individual specific smell and chemical (therapeutic) properties to balance and establish harmony between body-mind-soul. In modern Western health care facilities, Aromatherapy is often used as a holistic approach to conventional medicine. Different Oils are recommended to remedy different ailments and symptoms. eg:

Bergamot Essential Oil:  for stress, depression, anxiety, anorexia

Eucalyptus Essential Oil: for respiratory issues, antiseptic, decongestant, Stimulant
Jasmine Essential Oil:  for depression, childbirth, stress, libido
Lavender Essential Oil: is one of the most popular essential oils, Stress, sleeping, antiseptic, sedative, anti-inflammatory
Lemon Essential Oil: digestion, circulation problems, immunity booster, mood enhancer
Peppermint Essential Oil: cooling agent, sharpens focus, congestion, digestion.
Tea tree Essential Oil: immune booster, skin conditions, burns and cuts, insecticide, anti-viral, anti-bacterial

Aromatherapy, Relation to Nature

Posted on March 11, 2019 by in Relation to Nature

Do you know………Nature can touch our heart in so many ways; whether watching wildlife in our backyard, or feeling the first rays of sun in the morning, or taking the peaceful stroll in nature, or standing beneath a cascading waterfall, or the colorful world found in the rainforests. Nature is the perfect place to find tranquility in life for our emotional and physical well-being.

      Aromatherapy, Relation to Nature

 

We all have noticed the connection between scent and emotions. Fresh cut grass, ocean air, fresh baked cookies, and evergreen trees are some of the scents we associate with specific emotions that evoke random memories. Aromatherapy does the same. Once inhaled, they bind to smell receptors and stimulate the central nervous system that triggers a positive emotional and physical response. There are several studies supporting the physical and emotional benefits of Aromatherapy using Essential Oils and scientists are constantly working on therapeutic properties of these Essential Oils without the side effects of prescription drugs. Some health providers are taking this new Integrative (Holistic) approach, combining the mainstream and complementary medicines to treat their patients. This has surged the demand of Essential Oils in recent times.

Essential oils are volatile, natural, potent, concentrated extracts taken from the roots, leaves, seeds, bark, or blossoms of plants with distinct aroma and chemical properties. Ayurvedic medicine refers to it as “liquid sun energy.” Classically, Essential oils are used for Aromatherapy for direct application to skin with proper dilution (refer to aromawellness.net), or for inhalation, or in diffuser. Diluting essential oils also help to spread over a larger surface area of skin for easy penetration into the body and it is more cost effective. Essential Oils should not be ingested, except for certain conditions when you are in care of a licensed health care professional.

It is important for people to realize, there is a credible science behind the use and benefits of individual oil in curing certain symptoms. Therefore, one should choose Essential Oils wisely, or educate themselves properly, or contact an experienced, Certified Aromatherapist in their area. For example; many Citrus oils contain furocoumarins, which could be photosensitive (can cause chemical burns when exposed to the sun’s UV rays). Eucalyptus oil, contain phenol that could irritate the respiratory tract when inhaled. While Lavandula angustifolia oil, one type of Lavender among many species, is very safe antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, sedative, anti-anxiety, anti-viral oil, but it does have a high content of linalool, which can be sensitizing for some people.

I must admit that as much as prettier snow looks from inside, it also brings the cold (that can attack the upper respiratory tract and is spread in the air from person to person) and flu season with it.  We all have endured the misery of a cold and familiar with the symptoms of Chest and Nasal Congestion, Headaches, Coughing, Scratchy Throat, Runny Nose, and/or Difficulty Breathing, which is our body’s defense mechanism.

Coconut Oil Use in Aromatherapy

Posted on February 11, 2019 by in Coconut Oil Use in Aromatherapy

Do you know………Coconut Oil is the do-everything natural cost effective oil that can be used for cooking, skin care, hair care, massage, aromatherapy, bio-fuel, as antimicrobial agent, etc. It’s easily available, affordable, and used by large majority of the population.

         Coconut Oil Use in Aromatherapy

Coconut oil is surging in popularity as a “health food,” after being discarded for a long time because of its high saturated fat content. Coconut oil is rich in antioxidants, and has anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial properties. When used on hair, it improves scalp health, supports hair growth and shine without the common harmful chemicals found in regular commercial products.

Coconut oil is made by pressing; fresh coconut meat called, ‘Wet Method-Cold Pressed’ without use of heat where the temperature remains below 120 degrees F; this is believed to help retain more nutrients and produces Virgin Coconut Oil or dried coconut meat (Copra) called, ‘Dry Method-Machine Pressed’, the oil is then steamed or heated to deodorize the oil and bleached by filtering through clay to remove impurities and any remaining bacteria. This process produces Refined Coconut Oil with higher smoke point at about 400-450 degrees F, is flavourless and odorless. The refined oil has no coconut taste or smell and is used for cooking, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical purposes. It’s called RBD coconut oil for “Refined, Bleached, and Deodorized”.

Coconut Oil contains 92% of saturated fatty acids in the form of triglycerides, most of it are medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) with lauric acid at 45-65%.  . MCFAs with chains of 6 to 12 carbon atoms (C6–C12) are not common to different vegetable oils, that makes coconut oil an excellent solvent for flavours, essences, emulsifiers, as carrier oil in Aromatherapy, etc. In contrast, saturated fats in animal fats and most other vegetable oils are mainly long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs), which contain 14 to 18 carbon atoms (C14–C18). Studies have shown that molecular chain length greatly influences a fatty acid’s metabolic and physiologic properties. Triacylglycerides (TAGs) composed of MCFAs are more water-soluble, quickly absorbed, and readily digestible, than TAGs containing LCFAs.

Natural Face Wash with Coconut Oil:

25 drops Tea Tree Essential Oil

15 drops Lavender Essential Oil (skin soothing properties)

8 drops Geranium Essential Oil (anti-aging properties)

1 (8oz) cup Coconut Oil

1 Tbsp baking soda

In an 8oz glass jar pour the melted Coconut Oil (can melt in a pan over slow flame), bring to room temperature, add Baking Soda, mix well, add Essential Oils, mix well, cover, label, store in a cool place. Use it everyday or as needed for face wash.
