Peppermint Overdose

This story begins with a seemingly harmless, good ol' fashioned soak in the tub.  I added Pink Himalayan salts to the perfect temperature water - check. The eagerly anticipated podcast downloaded and cued up - check! "Hmm. What oils do I have at home to play with today?" You would think because I am of course, such an experienced Aromatherapist, that I would have a lovely assortment gingerly displayed, bath worthy aroma's always on hand - right? With the dawn of a new year upon us, my tendency to de-clutter was in full effect. Due to this clutter aversion, all I had at home were …

Does Aromatherapy Really work

I can confidently answer - Yes! Aromatherapy works!  With skillful use and proper training for you staff, using quality oils, carefully selected for your population, with appropriate and safe methods of administration.  The overall goal is to simply reduce stress and reduce the use of drugs. Stress manifests in mood and sleep disruptions, muscle tension and pain, and some digestive complaints to name a few.  Aromatherapy talks to our limbic system through its own language of chemistry. Essential oils are molecules with messages. Our brains read and understand  the plants language of simple chemistry.  For example, consider how we respond to the …

Aromatherapy enhances patients’ experience

Original Article Published at https://www.northfieldhospital.org/node/1555 Aromatherapy helps patients feel more at ease during a hospital visit, and more comfortable during medical procedures like chemotherapy. “People are interested in options that enhance their health without more medical intervention,” says Juliana Sayner, a registered nurse in the Cancer Care & Infusion Center who led the introduction of aromatherapy at Northfield Hospital. “It’s empowering for patients to take an active step in their own care.” Northfield Hospital began offering aromatherapy to patients in the Cancer Care and Infusion Center last summer.

When was the last time you thought about your organs?

The question will usually raise few eyebrows. This question gets to the heart of what TCM is all about, the health and vitality of your organs! When we have symptoms, it is our organ’s way of telling us that there is something wrong with our health. In modern western times, we either ignore symptoms or we medicate them. This leads us down the path of decline. Add years to that and you start to see more and more problems related to your health. Upon your first visit, I will ask you many questions about your body. This helps me identify which …

Essential Oils - A multi-dimensional healing tool by Jodi Baglien

I love the "aha" look on people's faces when a moment happens while I'm teaching a class on aromatherapy. You know - when a feeling or idea opens in your mind and you now see something in a completely new way? For me this often happens when I introduce the concept that essential oils are "multidimensional healing tools".  What? Think about this - what other alternatives / integrative therapy can impact the physical, emotional and energetic levels - simultaneously? Let's look at this...  On the physical level, the science behind aromatherapy looks at the individual chemical compounds of the plant the oil was extracted from.  Each …

Recently I was contacted by a woman who was concerned about the essential oil regime she was using on her three young children. The mom found my upcoming class online, “Aromatherapy for Kids – How Much is Too Much?". After reading the description for the class, the 'alarm bells' went off in her head that she might be overdosing her kids and she realized she needed to understand more about this regime of oils she was told to use by a source on the internet. She was seeking help for her children who have been recently diagnosed with a syndrome called Pediatric …

Blessings in Crisis

Cynthia Stavrou, Reiki Master practices at Rising Sun Reiki Studio and has 13 years of experience (10/01/2017)

When speaking with a friend recently about the birth of her first grandchild, and hearing the joy in her voice, I was reminded of a time when her life was turned upside down by breast cancer.  I recall the fear and the tears that were shed during that very difficult time.  But as I think back on all of the events that I have witnessed since the moment when she told me that she was ill, I can think of so many blessings that she has experienced.  Forged from the crisis that is cancer priorities shifted, damaged relationships with loved …
