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.
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.
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
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.
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 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.
