   Essential Oils (Aromatherapy)

Aromatherapy, also referred to as Essential Oil Therapy, can be defined as the art and science of utilizing naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to balance, harmonize and promote the health of body, mind and spirit.  It seeks to unify physiological, psychological and spiritual processes to enhance an individual's innate healing process.

 

As a holistic practice, Aromatherapy is both a preventative approach as well as an active method to employ during acute and chronic stages of illness or dis'-ease.

 

Aromatherapy oils are pure essences extracted or distilled from plants, flowers, leaves, roots, resins, seeds and fruits of many herbs, shrubs and trees that are used to provide aromatic oils, each with their own unique healing properties. Essential oils are a natural plant based medicine designed to support and affect the whole person. They are used to assist the body's immune system and to support our natural ability to maintain balance, and to heal. They connect us back to nature.

 

Proponents of aromatherapy report that aromatic or essential oils have been used for thousands of years as treatments for a wide range of disorders. They link it historically to the use of infused oils and unguents in the Bible and ancient Egypt.

 

Essential oils are used by the plants in somewhat the same way they are by humans - they fight infection, contain hormone-like compounds, initiate cellular regeneration, and work as a chemical defense against fungal, viral, and bacterial foes. Despite their foliar origins however, essential oils have a similar structure to some compounds found in blood and tissues, allowing them to be compatible with our own physiology. They have unique therapeutic properties.

In the last 20 years science world-wide has verified the many therapeutic properties of essential oils. There are libraries and Essential Oil Journals filled with studies to verify the healing qualities of essential oils.

We use and recommend only organic or "certified pure therapeutic grade" essential oils in our practice. The purity of an essential oil is its most important characteristic. The adage, "you get what you pay for" usually applies when purchasing essential oils, as bargain oils are often adulterated, diluted, or synthetic. Pure essential oils can be expensive; and the cost of an oil will vary depending on its quality and availability.

    Food as Medicine - Nutrition

Nutrition is the foundation for health maintenance and health recovery. It provides the components that the body needs for repair, immune support, hormonal, and regeneration.

 

The National Institute of Health reports, "accumulating research evidence suggests that many dietary factors may be used alone or in combination with traditional chemotherapeutic agents to prevent the occurrence of cancer, their metastatic spread, or even to treat cancer."

 

     Vitamin Supplementation

Vitamins, used therapeutically, can be of immense help in fighting disease and speeding recovery.  Vitamin therapy has a distinct advantage over drug therapy. While drugs are always toxic and have many undesirable side effects, vitamins, as a rule are non-toxic and safe.

 

  Spiritual Nutrition - The Word of God

 

"It is written: Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God." Mathew 4:4 - NIV The Word of God is the foundation of spiritual truths that should affect, and lead, our spirit, mind and body. "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His [Jesus] glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." - John 1:14 Because of Jesus, and in Him, we have access to God's grace through prayer.

 

Our intent is not to alienate nonbelievers or try to impose our faith. But, we would be remiss if we did not share the good news of the Kingdom of God of the grace and truth in what we know, and experience, in the love and gift of Jesus, the Christ. And in Him, Christ - the Word, all things including, divine healing by the method of prayer.


      Executing the Provision - Prayer

Prayer is powerful and by it we are able to tap into the supernatural provision, protection, peace, healing, and presence of an all-powerful, omniscient, God.

         Our Recommended Book for Prayer

Our healing practice has benefited immensely with the principles and revelations of prayer, and faith, with our recommended reading, "The Spirit of Wisdom in Understanding Prayer and Faith" authored by Carmelita Cartwright.
