One of the many reasons people want essential oils in their
lives right now, is because of the "comfort" they provide us.
Whether it is comfort from physical or emotional "dis-comfort"
... essential oils deliver the goods!
Dr. Daniel Penoel, a French MD and naturopath, is a leading
medical Aromatherapist in the world. I have had the pleasure
of hearing him speak several times. He explains the basic
three methods in the practice of Aromatherapy. The English
style is centered around relaxing and health-promoting
massages with essential oils diluted in base oils. The German
interest is primarily on the effects of aroma through
inhalation. The emphasis in France is on the internal use of
essential oils. The medical schools in France include
essential oils as medicine in their program. Internal use is
not to be taken lightly, and should be prescribed by a
physician.
Whichever the method of use, the goal and result is still
about obtaining some form of comfort. Pure therapeutic
high-grade essential oils have this ability. Their natural
chemistry can be anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and much
more.
For physical comfort, address the cause and the symptoms.
For emotional stress, it is paramount to use an aroma that
your REALLY like! You can feel the results instantaneously.
A quick study for starters: (1) Lavender is the #1 Oil of
Balance for emotional stress, and physical pain. Tea Tree is
also a known physical pain reliever. (2) Eucalyptus is a top
decongestant for respiratory issues. (3) Peppermint is
excellent for fatigue, stomach and head aches. (4) Emotional
comfort is unique to the individual's memory and personal
"taste" with an aroma. Top choices are Lavender, Orange,
Geranium, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Ylang Ylang, and Rose.
Our nose-brain response to aromatic molecules changes our
emotions and our brain chemistry. This "comfort" is one of the
things they do best. Be aware: Essential oils can become your
best friends, and you won't leave home without them!
