Aromatherapy refers to the use of essential oils extracted from herbs, trees and plants for therapeutic purposes.
While aromatherapy has been practiced for thousands of years by many ancient civilizations (Chinese, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman) the official term wasn't coined until 1928. The French chemist Rene-Maurice Gattefosse first used it after noticing the curative effects of essential oils during his work treating the wounded in World War I.
What are medicinal grade essences (or essential oils as they are often referred to)?
Essences are the lifeblood of the plants and trees where the immune system and nutrients are stored. They nourish the plant and naturally provide protection from things like bacterial, viral & microbial infection. During the process of distillation these highly concentrated essences are released and the product that is left is the plant’s essence. This powerful substance offers the same healing, medicinal properties that it did to the plant. Medicinal Aromatherapy is the practice of administering these pure essential essences (oils) for therapeutic purposes.
How are they administered?
There are many ways to experience the essences; they can be applied topically to the skin, inhaled through the olfactory nerves (nasal passages), or taken orally. It is important to consult with a trained aromatherapist to decide what is best for you and your healing process.
How will this benefit me?
Our human DNA is closely related to that of the plant and tree kingdom and therefore our bodies easily recognize the healing power of the essences and will allow them to work in a harmonious way. This is not often the case with modern day pharmaceuticals.
How are medicinal grade essences different from other essential oils? Are they the same?
Purity is the key factor and not the case with all essential oils. Essences, such as from WISDOM OF THE EARTH, are 100% pure and natural unadulterated essence with nothing added and nothing taken away. (No additives or blends) They come from bio-dynamic or organically farmed lands or grow wild and are hand-distilled and hand-poured. They carry very high vibratory frequency and are still very much “alive” inside the bottle!
Who can benefit from aromatherapy? What conditions can be helped?
Because is safe and gentle anyone can benefit. Any condition that exists in nature can be helped by it.
