From the desk of Richard
Penfounde, your Naturally Healthy Lifestyle specialist.
AROMATHERAPY in modem healing first got a chance to match up
with allopathic treatments in British National Health hospitals some
six to eight years ago.
Reluctantly it was allowed through the portals of venerated London
hospitals as a "look and see" job. Scepticism among the permanent
staff, to say the least, accompanied its entry.
Then the mood changed. Results started to penetrate the wards that
aromatherapy was contributing to a more effective uptake of the
post-operative drugs, that it was effective in lowering (or
mitigating) their harmful side effects and the release of patients
was accelerating faster than ever before.
Aromatherapy - as an ancient healing art - has had its sceptics and
now it appears an increasing number of converts.
It's safe, easy to use and it works.
What better credentials could one ask for?
So it is not surprising that its principles are now being adapted
and adopted by new enlightened skin care, hair care and luxury bath
oil producers.
These companies are using the natural primary oils for their
ingredients and leaving behind the multitude of companies that have
lived off "lookalikes" and "smellalikes" ingredients for nearly 50
years or so.
Primary oils through our sense of smell affect our moods and
emotions.
If were feeling stressed or anxious it's likely we're also feeling
insecure at that moment. Breathing the pure oils of rose or jasmine
will relax us, deepen our breathing and bring a sense of peace to
the moment.
"Smellalikes" don't have the same powers as the primaries.
This time these skin treatments don't belong to women only. Men get
the same benefits, as do all colours, classes and creeds.
Applying these creams and gels, etc, on to our skins is like
introducing self-applied aromatherapy into our daily lives - pure
vanity is not the motive anymore.
Beauty treatments comprising good healthy, alive skin is the new
motive.
This new method for cleansers, moisturisers, hand and body, hair and
bath products comprises sensitive and delicate 100% natural oil
formulae with names like jasmine, rose, ylang-ylang, clary sage,
etc.
Included in each bottle is a powerful delivery from nature to
balance subtle emotional energies.
Examples are:
- ROSE: Breeds confidence and self-esteem.
- CLARY SAGE: Creativity.
- JASMINE: Indulgence and even more indulgence!
- YLANG-YLANG: Soothes that anger about to be flung across the
office or boardroom, to say nothing of removing frustrations.
- LAVENDER / TANGERINE: Euphorically sexual.
Back from the day's work and what better to drain out the strain and
get your feet free and into orbit for a swinging late night than
black pepper foot oil (or foot bath).
Such oils work via our sub-conscious, their molecules directly
reaching our nasal lining. They then reach the "neo cortex" (our
seat of consciousness), releasing deep emotional tensions along the
way
Remember what you're wearing on your skin is also going to have a
profound effect on those near and dear to you, so at times develop
combined usages. Not just a "his" or "hers" product line-up in the
boudoir!
