5 Simple Aromatherapy Remedies For Common Ailments


Aromatherapy has been used for thousands of years, as natural remedies for our every day ailments. It is easy to use, generally inexpensive and does not have the side effects of over the counter medications. From headaches to acne, aromatherapy can offer most everyone a gentler alternative. This article will explore 6 common maladies and how aromatherapy can offer you some natural relief.

1. Headache

I think just about everyone has suffered from headaches at some point. Whether it's the occasional annoyance or the 'down for the count' pain, headaches can definitely affect your mood and slow down your day. Instead of popping a pill, which may upset your stomach, thin your blood or be hard on your liver, why not give peppermint oil a try! Place a dab of peppermint oil on your temples, behind your ears and across your hair-line (along your forehead). Peppermint aromatherapy helps to relieve muscular tension as well as stress, and often times, that is the original cause of the headache. Or at least a strong contributing factor.

2. PMS

Having Pre Menstrual Syndrome is a great strain on both the physical body, as well as your emotional state. To help relieve the many symptoms that PMS encompasses, use a blend of lavender and bergamot oils. These two will help lessen cramping & ease the physical stress you are experiencing. Adding a few drops of either lemon or orange can really help with uplifting your mood too! You can combine these essential oils in a diffuser or mix them with a touch of olive oil or your favorite, unscented lotion, and apply them anywhere. I find that using this mixture on my lower abdomen really works for cramping.

3. Colds and Flu

Sinus pressure, congestion, upset stomach and pain are just a few of the symptoms that can drag us down during cold and flu season. Try taking a hot bath and adding eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil and lavender to the water. Eucalyptus is an excellent decongestant and immune booster, peppermint helps with sinus pressure and soothing your tummy and lavender aids in relaxation and helping you to get restful sleep.

4. Athletes Foot

Athletes foot is a fungal infection that can be quite stubborn to get rid of. And once you've had it, it seems to just keep coming back! Many times, especially in the case of recurring infection, over the counter creams and sprays just don't work. Try using tea tree oil or lavender oil mixed with a little olive oil and massage into the feet each night before bed. Tea tree oil is a powerful anti-fungal, lavender is a gentle skin healer and olive oil helps to moisturize dry, cracked feet. It is a great benefit to do this twice a day, so you may want to use the tea tree oil at night (as it has a strong antiseptic smell) and the lavender during the day.

5. Stress

I don't know of anyone who doesn't have some kind of stress in their life. Work, family, money, health issues, the list goes on. How can you deal with that everywhere you go? Aromatherapy of course! I carry a small bottle of mixed essential oils with me to use when needed. Whenever I begin to feel a bit stressed out, I just pull it out of my purse or pocket and take a few, deep whiffs. There are some fantastic pre-made blends available but you can also make your own. If you find it too difficult to carry a bottle, you can use a cloth or handkerchief in your bag, briefcase or pocket. Place a few drops each of lavender oil and lemon or orange oil. Just pull out your hankie and breathe deep. Or you can also use peppermint or spearmint oil and lemon or orange. Each person is unique, so what smells best to you will be exactly what you need. Lavender is soothing and relaxing, the citrus family is uplifting to the spirit and the mint family helps to perk you up if you're feeling low or depressed. Experiment to see what you like best.

Hope for Women With Ovarian Reserve and Egg Quality Poor


Women in their late 30s to mid 40s can face age-related fertility problems. Poor ovarian reserve and poor egg quality are common diagnoses for this population of women who seek help for fertility. When a woman hears she has diminished or poor ovarian reserve, she feels a sense of dread and fear that her chances of getting pregnant are now over. But is this really the case and is there room for hope?

With acupuncture and Chinese medicine there is always hope as the main philosophy of our medicine embraces the idea of the body's innate ability to heal itself. One of the goals of a fertility treatment with acupuncture and Chinese herbs is to improve the whole health of a patient; to improve the internal environment and thus improve the body's function.

This concept of improving the internal environment to improve pregnancy rates is mirrored in scientific research that appeared recently in Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology. In this study, Gleicher (1) states that the term poor ovarian reserve does not reflect the true state of a woman's overall potential to have a baby. Based on his research, he is of the opinion that a woman's eggs do not age, as previously thought, rather the ovarian environment ages and it is this decline in the function of the ovaries that affects the quality of the eggs.

Unlike men, who create new sperm every 90 days, women are born with all their eggs that have the potential to become a baby. The majority of these eggs are called primordial follicles. They are in a dormant state until puberty is reached when a woman starts releasing an egg each month (ovulation) and having periods. Between puberty and menopause, primordial follicles remain in this dormant state until activated to start the maturation process on the way to ovulation.

Once activated, the primordial follicles, (also known as non-growing follicles (NGFs) go through around four months of maturation. Many follicles are recruited to go through this process at the same time. One becomes dominant and will ovulate while the others die off.

When primordial follicles enter aging ovarian environments, it stands to reason that, compared to younger ovaries, problems with the maturation and development process occur that effect both the number of eggs reaching maturity as well as the quality of the eggs and, ultimately, their chance of becoming a healthy embryo.

Fertility tests to assess ovarian reserve are not able to calculate how many primordial follicles a woman has left. They are only able to look at the eggs that are in this maturation process. High FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), low AMH (Anti-Mullerian Hormone and low AFC (Antral Follicle Count) are indicators that the ovarian environment is aging and the eggs in this four month maturation process are less capable of being fertilized. These tests are not the final word on a woman's chances of getting pregnant and should not be seen as such.

So how can you improve the ovarian environment and increase the chances of getting pregnant? In his work, Gleicher uses DHEA to improve the ovarian environment. How it works is not clear but he has seen increased pregnancy rates in women with poor or diminished ovarian reserve. Acupuncture and in particular, Chinese herbs can also be used to improve the ovarian environment and increase the chances of pregnancy. And not only can they improve the ovarian environment, they also improve the overall health so when a woman finally gets pregnant, she is more likely to have a healthy pregnancy and baby.

Aromatherapy - How I Use It And Is It For?


Did you know that it only takes four minutes for Essential Oils to start taking effect on your body? Whether through inhalation, skin absorption or direct skin application, there are many ways that you can reap the therapeutic benefits of oils day or night. It is important not to underestimate the intensity of aromatherapy oils and the therapeutic benefits that they offer. There are a couple of things you need to know about pure essential oils. You should never apply them directly onto the skin, they are potent and can trigger an allergic reaction or a serious rash. It is advisable not to use direct heat, products/units that do not involve direct heat i.e Diffusers, are recommended. I say 'diffusing' rather than heating because of the effect heating has on aromatherapy oils. Any heat administered directly onto essential oils actually breaks down the components of the oils. This results in losing some of the important therapeutic components of the essential oils. What does this mean? You don't get the full BENEFIT of the oils because they are not dispersed in their purest form.

It is interesting to note that many countries, including Australia, are still not aware of the healing and therapeutic benefits of essential oils. Did you know that essential oils, either single or formulated in a blend can assist with health issues such as Anxiety & Stress, Insomnia, Mood swings, lack of Confidence, Respiratory problems just to name a few? As a matter of fact there are essential oils/oil blends for most health issues. For example; Bergamot - Eczema, Dermatitis (massage oil) Frankincense - Fears, Nightmares (Diffusing) Peppermint - Mental Fatigue, Concentration or Memory Difficulties (inhalation, bath oil) Lavender - Anxiety, Insomnia (massage oil, Diffuser) Jasmine - Depression, Lack of Confidence (Massage Oil, Diffuser)

DIFFUSING - This technology is a dream come true for Aromatherapy enthusiasts, and was only introduced to the Australian consumer some four years ago. The Ultrasonic Waves technology works on the vibration of the water at such a speed that it creates vapours, this is the technology that has revolutionised the way people use their aromatherapy. This means, no heating element, no condensation and your oils are dispersed in their purest form. However, the negative to this is that you cannot always access your Diffuser especially when you are in transit during your busy daily schedule.

THE AROMA PENDANT - Introduced in Australia six months ago and very popular throughout other parts of the world. This form of essential oil inhalation is not new, it has actually been used for centuries, well before the introduction of oil burners. Due to the intensity of essential oils we found that the glass pendants are best for aromatherapy oils. The Aroma Pendants work by filling the pendant with your favourite essential oil, placing it around your neck and inhaling the scent of the oil for the entire day. Fantastic for when you are suffering from a cold or respiratory problems, or need added concentration or confidence particularly during interviews or exams.

AROMA SPRAY MISTS - When formulated with essential oils, these are fantastic to have in the handbag at all times. When required you can use as a face spray, body spray or as an air freshener - again the emphasis is on inhalation.

MASSAGE AND BATH OILS - A lovely oil or blend in a carrier oil like jojoba, almond or grapefruit oil administered on the skin will give you the therapeutic benefits through skin absorption or massage. As will a few drops of essential oils in your bath.

DIRECT SKIN COMPRESS - Once the oils are diluted with water, you can soak some cotton wool or muslin in the water and place it directly on to the body on the area to be treated.

Healing Essential Oils


To begin with, what are healing essential oils? They are plant extracts, found in the flowers, leaves,fruit and roots. The essential oil is found in different parts of the plants, in some plants the oil might be in the flowers while in other plants there might be 2 or 3 different areas that the oil is extracted from.

An example of this is the bitter orange tree. The oil can be found in the leaves, the flowers and the fruit peel, 3 different oils are extracted from these 3 different areas.

Healing essential oils are also known as Aromatherapy oils. These oils have been around for thousands of years and were used by the ancient people of Egypt, China, Middle East, India and Greece.

Egypt was probably the first to use plants as medicines, perfume and cosmetics. They used perfumes as gifts to the Gods and had small rooms in the temples where the plants were prepared.

It wasn't until the middle ages that it was developed more in Europe and also became a sort after form of holistic healing.

Healing essential oils treat the 'whole person', mind, body and spirit, and it seems that as more people come to understand that conventional medicines don't address the cause of their problems, but rather mask them, we are turning to natural remedies more and more.

While some people may view essential oils as a 'magic potion' they are not, but they do have amazing healing properties and are used by different practitioners for different reasons, while also being used by perfumers.

One of the most common uses of healing essential oils is massage. The reason this is becoming more popular; is because it uses 2 of our close range senses, that of touch and smell. This in itself starts the healing process.

So how can these oils help? From the smallest scratch to

depression
overweight
insomnia
relieving stress
burns
bruises
coughs and colds
sprains and strains
arthritis

Their uses are many, add healing essential oils to your household cleaning products,shampoos,body lotions or start making your own so you know they are safe for you and your family. You will find using these oils around your home for all your needs, a pleasure; be it for cleaning, relaxing, taking care of your skin and hair, fighting off coughs and colds, healing ailments or even using on your family pet. They have many, many benefits.

Healing with Aromatherapy Tea Scent


Few scents are more enticing than those produced by freshly brewed herbal teas. The herbal teas used in aromatherapy contain hundreds of active ingredients. They're so powerful that just breathing in their aromas can have a major impact on your physical and emotional health.

Herbs contain concentrated oils called essential oils. When you brew a cup of tea, some of them drift upward in the steam. As you breathe the steam, individual scent molecules enter special "docks," or receptors, in cells throughout your body. This triggers many changes that may benefit your health. The scent of lavender tea, for example, slows nerve impulses, encouraging relaxation. Aromatherapists often use concentrated oils stored in tightly sealed vials. These oils are very effective, but they can also be expensive. Aromatherapeutic teas, on the other hand, are perfectly safe to use at home and can have some impressive benefits.

Approximately 40 different herbs are used in aromatherapy, either singly or in combination. Aromatherapists often put the essential oils in atomizers or special nasal inhalers. Homemade aromatherapy teas, however, may be just as effective and are made in much the same way as other herbal teas. Pour 1 cup boiling water over 1 to 2 tsp. dried or fresh herb. Let the tea steep 10 minutes, lean over the cup and breathe deeply, letting the steam enter your mouth and nose. The most popular aromatherapy teas have pleasant tastes as well as important healing benefits. These include:

Chamomile. - With its delicate taste and apple-like aroma, chamomile is among the most popular herbal teas. It contains oils that have a sedating effect on the central nervous system. It's often used to relieve stress and anxiety as well as insomnia. It also aids digestion.

Jasmine. - This fragrant tea has the opposite effect of chamomile. It increases brain waves called beta waves, which are associated with alertness. When feeling fatigued or moody, inhale jasmine tea to perk yourself up.

Eucalyptus. - This is a very popular tea for treating cold and flu symptoms. It contains a chemical called eucalyptol, which helps reduce inflammation in the airways. It also loosens mucus in the chest and sinuses, which relieves congestion and make it easier to breathe.

Rosemary and Sage. - Each of these strong-smelling herbs is reputed to improve memory and stimulate the senses. Rosemary tea is often used for depression. Sage has historically been used for easing grief as well as a mild case of the blues. It's also a "cooling" herb, which may help relieve hot flashes.

Thyme. - This herb belongs in the medicine chest as well as in the spice-cabinet. It contains two oils, thymol and carvacol, that help relax muscles in the stomach and intestine. Thyme may be helpful when you're experiencing gas, cramping, or other digestive discomfort and can ease coughs and congestion.

Teas aren't the only way to get the full benefit of aromatherapeutic herbs. For example:

Add a drop or two of essential oil to simmering water. Allow the steam to fill the air.

Put fresh or dried herbs in bath water.
Put a drop of oil in an atomizer, dilute it with a little water, and mist the air around you.
Dilute a drop of essential oil with 1 oz. vegetable oil and apply it to the pulse points of your wrists.
Bear in mind it's fine to use herbal extracts when making aromatherapeutic teas. Just be sure you don't confuse extracts with essential oils--they're quite different. Herbal extracts are made for internal use, and many people find them more convenient than dried herbs for making tea. Essential oils, on the other hand, are only meant for external use and can be toxic if taken internally.
