Aromatherapy: A Gift from Mother Earth and from our Ancestors
Next time you drive past a garden of fresh peppermint or Lavender or hike through a pine forest, breathe deeply – you’re experiencing the soul-soothing power of essential oils. But essential oils are more than nice scents; these powerful plant extracts are the vibrational essence of natures radiance.
Maybe you have experienced essential oils in spa treatments or bath and body care products? These uses are only part of the remarkable essential oils story. Yes Essential oils have been used for thousands of years for their wonderful cosmetic properties and I infuse all my InLaKesh Aromatics Skincare with Pure Essential oils and natural botanicals.
Incense and essential oils from plants have always played an important part in religious and spiritual ceremonies, helping participants to transcend the trivial and connect with something larger than themselves. To enhance your spiritual practice, dilute and apply meditative, empowering essential oils directly to wrists, feet and behind the ears, or diffuse in a quiet space. Popular essential oils and blends for spiritual focus include:
- Frankincense
- Sandalwood
- Cedarwood
- InLaKesh Crown Chakra Blend
Our ancestors used aromatic substances constantly in all facets of their lives. Records dating back to antiquity tell of scented oils, barks and resins, of spices, and aromatic waters all used medicine, ritual, astrology and embalming.
In the past it must have been a case of trial and error because early man did not have modern science to validate and classify the oils and their effect on the body.
Today, we continue to use and enjoy the healing benefits of Essential oils and now with modern day insight and scientific understanding of their therapeutic effects. Scientific research has validated what our ancestors carried out intuitively. The result is that in the 21st century oils are used in every area of our lives. Pure essential oils are used in hospitals to promote healing, they are used in workplace to increase productivity and in the home to create ambience and address minor ailments.
Some of the health benefits of aromatherapy include its ability to reduce anxiety, ease depression, boost energy levels, speed up the healing process, eliminate headaches, boost cognitive performance, induce sleep, strengthen the immune system, reduce pain, improve digestion, and increase circulation.
An important element of aromatherapy is synergy, which is the combination of numerous essential oils that can actually create a more powerful effect than the oils would have on their own. This is why blending essential oils is such an important area of study for alternative healers, since the range of possibilities is almost endless.
