How Indigenous People used Scent

Medicinal and personal use of scent were valuable and well known to most indigenous cultures. Besides religious ceremony, inhalants and hygiene, aromas were used to treat mental, emotional and many physical diseases. Some cultures also enjoyed perfumed cosmetics and used fragrance in domestic practices. Fumigation was used for broad spectrum cleansing and protection, insect repellents and good fortune. They believed Nature Spirits responded well to aromatics.

Native Americans used aromatics 5-6000 years ago. Some of these practices are described in Mother Nature's Herbal, for headaches, sinus, grief and mental imbalances. Aromatic poultices were applied to wounds. Hygiene was achieved by burning aromatic woods which did not alarm prey. They chewed aromatic native herbs and roots, like ginger, to clean their teeth. Sages were especially favored for dental hygiene.

American Natives did not distill like we do today to produce aromatherapy. They soaked fragrant plants in animal grease, with fresh flowers and roots every day to produce a fragrant balm, or inhaled the smoke of a fragrant tea or burning plant. Any member of a tribe could benefit aromatherapy. Other," more advanced cultures", used aromas only for royals and aristocratic members.

Basic stills were discovered at least 5000 years old in Crete used to produce aromatherapy. Ancient African, Egyptian and later, Greek cultures produced and traded aromatic oils for religious, and later, personal use. More detailed information is available in Antique Rose Collection e-book, both books are available on our website.

East Indian Ayurveda medicine especially utilized aromas of sandalwood and many spices in medicine and cooking. I studied with a Brahman priest, who is like their doctor, learning how they also use foods for psychological and physical well-being. Aromas are a way of a healthy life, which we can emulate.

Flowers like  Butterfly Lily clean the air in our environment, as well as protect us from pollutants in the environment. NASA approves using the plant for cleaning the air. An aroma like this will also support better breathing and cognitive well-being.

The aromas pleasing to you will support the unique scent you have carried since being in the womb. They will help your thoughts and feelings stay positive and productive. Aromas will also increase vitality and physical wellness. You will attract like-minded people and achieve your highest goals.

If your sense of smell has diminished, inhale basil or rosemary daily. The intensity of smell often returns within weeks or a few months.

Utilize the inherent brilliance of past cultures and allow natural scents guide your path to success.

Is a Larvacide responsible or the Zika Virus?

A large group of physians in Brazil claim the pesticide pyriproxyfen is responsible for for microcephaly, small heads on newborns. This pesticide is used to treat drinking water. Although it is an approved pesticide, over 4000 cases of microcephaly have been reported in areas where the Zika virus is widespread. It is also possible the pesticide is reacting with a reagent or some other chemical used in water treatment.

The mosquito spreading Zika  is a common household mosquito, which has not caused this problem before. People are calling asking for antiviral help. First, use a mosquito repellent. AromaHealth offers Stop Insects. Next, an adult antiviral is Viral Escape. These should be used in coastal areas or traveling to countries affected and near affected areas.

Ancient Viruses in our DNA

Our chromosomes contain at least 8 % of viruses from our ancient lineage. These virus lie dormant until reawakened. They have a potential to reinfect recipients.

ALS, a progressive muscle wasting disease is a known illness that can awaken a sleeping virus. When this happens, muscle wasting and subsequent neurodegeneration. Medical research is considering using HIV drugs to slow nerve degeneration. Once the virus infects a recipient, it is not easily stopped.

Viral Escape is an essential oil and Petite Fleur essence blend that can reduce the incidence of retrovirus as well as modern ones. In test tubes, Viral Escape has antiviral and antibacterial capabilities as effective as many  common antibiotics and modern drugs. Viral infections often lead to secondary bacterial infections and require antibiotics.

Viral Escape is best applied often and before infection occurs. Massaging a few drops on a few times a week can often reduce infection.Moderate continual use will not harm the natural immune response. It can enhance and strengthen immunity.

The Flu Vaccine and Narclepsy

 A July 1,2015 article in Science Translational Medicine, indicates children immunized with GlaxoSmithKline's Pandemrix H1N1 flu vaccine have a greater risk of developing narcolepsy, a chronic sleep disorder. There is a peptide in the vaccine that resembles the brain peptide,hypocretin, which the vaccine's peptide binds. The brain peptide keeps individuals awake. Binding the peptide causes people to uncontrollably fall asleep.

The vaccine is believed to trigger an autoimmune response increasing the incidence of narcolepsy. The patients most affected by narcolepsy were vaccinated with Pandemrix. More studies will consider the possibility that the virus itself causes narcolepsy.

Viruses can live along the spinal column, even after symptoms disappear.Further symptoms can arise when the immune system is stressed or compensated. AromaHealth Texas offers Cold Flu spray as an effective H1N1 preventative. Enterovirus also protects the immune system from stored viruses with long

lasting results. These products have been used extensively in hospitals and clinics to prevent and treat symptoms of flu and cold virus, including H1N1.

Safe Travel using Purely Organic Hand Sanitizer

Recently the local news reported information about the sanitation on airplanes. The news was shocking. Multi resistant staff and fecal material were found on the tray tables we drink and eat from. The lavatory had fecal material and a strain of staph causing pneumonia on the sink and other areas. Cold and flu germs were just about everywhere a passenger sits, eats and uses the bathroom. These are the reports that stand out in my mind. My thoughts go to what we can do to remind ourselves to not only wash our hands, but also to use a hand sanitizer on the tray and everywhere we put our hands and uncovered flesh. Aromahealthtexas offers Purely Organic Hand Sanitizer made from fresh, garden blooms grown onsite. The flowers essences and essential oils have antibacterial, antiviral and anti fungal properties without overpowering scent. The essences are safe for children and also useful for dry, itchy skin. I designed and tested this blend with clients, staff and clinics. It has a very low alcohol content. Hand sanitizers are usually 98% alcohol. If you want healing, and protection, I suggest using and traveling with knowledge and  my therapeutic hand sanitizer. Purely Organic Hand Sanitizer will increase your immunity without taking away its integrity.

Enjoy safe travel and a happy holiday season.

Three Varieties of Lavender

The three varieties of lavender are: Lavender Vera, the most popular; Lavender Spica; and Lavender stoechas. Each contains different chemical properties and have specific healing abilities. I will name a few.

Lavender Vera is most well known as an all purpose essential oil. The very fragrant scent is due to 50% esters and 41% monoterpene alcohols. Small amount of ketones support the urogenital organ functions. Esters and monoterpene alcohols are especially healing and beautifying for the skin. They also relax muscles and reduce tension, making lavender a great pain reliever and sleep enhancer.

Large amounts of ketones in Spike lavender fights viral and fungal infections. Spike lavender also relaxes the heart muscles to help anxious and hypertensive people. It also has ketones to increase tissue regeneration and heal wounds.

Lavender stoechas has a predominance of ketones that reduce mucus, earaches, whooping cough, burns and regenerates skin.

I successfully grow all three lavenders in North Central Texas. They require very good drainage and lots of sunlight.

On an emotional level, lavender opens the heart and clears the mind. They are prevalent in blends that enhance intimacy, social and emotional balance.

Keep lavender refrigerated or in a very dark, cool place in tightly sealed bottles. The high amounts of monoterpenes cause oxidation and turns the aroma stale and less fragrant.

Note: Monoterpene alcohols have a light, floral aroma. They are antiseptic, antiviral and increase immunoglobulins. They can reduce intestinal inflammation; are sedative and tonic. Monoterpenes in essential oils are mild and usually non offensive.  A patch test before application can assure safety.

How to Trap a Virus

Viral molecules can stay in the body for a lifetime. Usually we build an immunity to most virus we catch or have an exposure.Other virus can hang around in your liver and especially along the spinal column , causing fatigue and a host of immune deficient symptoms. With viral infection, unwanted bacteria also move into the skin ,lungs and circulation traveling to deep organs and tissues. Taking antibiotics and cortisone derivatives may weaken immunity over time as they also kill the good bacterial growth in the intestines. Under normal immune processes, immunity is strengthened as the body uses its resources to capture and remove unwanted virus and bacterial tissue.

Essential oils and essences can be very effective in assisting the immune system. They adversely affect a wide variety of virus, bacteria and fungus.Used correctly, there is no side effect. The best methods of application include direct inhalation from the inhalent diffusers offered on the website and topical application along the spine and on the chest. Children, elderly and sensitive folks can apply a few drops onto the bottom of the feet. This skin is less likely to react. Essential oils move up because they are volatile, allowing the aromas to travel throughout the body. Often people ask if all three methods can be done simultaneously. The answer is yes. However, 3-5 drops is a normal treatment. The Petite Fleur Essences may be applied undiluted. Essential oils are best diluted into an appropriate carrier oil for application. The inhalent diffuser uses undiluted essences and essential oils that have been squirted into the diffuser with a dropper that is supplied. The inhalent diffusers are the size of a lipstick. You simply put the diffuser under your nose and breathe in deeply a few times. This can be repeated 3 or more times daily as needed for comfort and to protect against exposure.

Carrier oils are normally food grade quality and healing in themselves. The lipid molecules make essential oils readily absorbed into the skin, bringing their healing qualities into tissues. Carrier oils can also fight virus, bacteria, mold and fungus. Their lipid qualities help to trap a virus, while the essential oils prevent the virus or bacteria from  multiplying . Essential oils and essential oil products are best kept away from heat and bright light exposures. Once a bottle is open, oxygen can cause rancidity. It's best to use the product rather than keep it on a shelf indefinitely.Otherwise,  kept away from strong light and heat, blends can last up to 6 months unopened. Carrier oils are like a food. They can also become rancid after opening  for several weeks. For best results, make small amounts of  essential oil blends. I have 1 dram, about 4 ml, or 1 ounce, 30 ml. for dilution. Red Raspberry is a non nut carrier oil that soothes red and sensitive skin. It helps prevent sunburn and protect the skin. Marula is a nut oil that feels like silk when applied to the skin. I use it often, especially in blends to desensitize the skin from strong essential oils.It is also gentle to the liver, which has to detox essential oils before they travel to the kidneys. It takes about 3 hours before essential oils applied on the skin travel to the kidney. A little goes a long way. Safe treatment using essential oils should be 20 drops or less of all essential oils in a 1 ounce carrier oil. A dram of carrier oil can carry 5 or less essential oils. This can vary in natural perfumery, which is done with different intentions and usually using absolutes.

Essential oils include: thyme, clove, peppermint, cinnamon, litsea, Peru Balsam absolute, Patchouli, Eucalyptus, lemon peel, hyssop, basil, helichrysum absolute, jasmine grandiflorum absolute, lime, linden blossom absolute, and more....

If you are looking for a product to protect you and loved ones, especially during travel and holiday festivities, Viral Escape and Entero Virus are blends now available at www.aromahealthtexas.com. Carrier oils are also available, listed under the essential oil tab. EnteroVirus is for colds, flu and viral mutations we may not have been exposed to before. It has essential oils safe for children. Viral Escape is a broad spectrum combination of essential oils and Petite Fleur essences for most exposures. The research for these oils has been done in test tubes, meaning the essential oils killed the bug or did not allow it to grow. Some studies have also been done clinically, indicating certain essential oils to be as effective as many antibiotics and antivirals. These have been done in Europe and countries who have many exposures to a variety of virus.

In Japan, measles, mumps and rubella vaccines were banned in 1993 because so many children developed non viral meningitis and various complications and reactions. The children may have reacted to one of the many toxic chemicals included in the vaccines. My point is research is available indicating  why essential oils and essences can be safe and effective in trapping most viral, bacterial and fungal infections and exposures.

Many of you know I had twins over 40 years ago with insufficient immunity. I learned to use foods, trace mineral analysis, Petite Fleur Essences and essential oils as needed to bring them into a healthy, productive life. They were not expected to live, drugs or not. I only used essential oils as they grew towards teen years. The Petites, such as Yarrow, thyme, sage and several other essences in the Immune kit breathed life into their immune system and catalyzed better health. Nature has provided an answer to every problem of health and longevity I have encountered. It is a lifestyle change, not a fix when a problem occurs and nothing else works. Consider these natural healers for viral and bacterial exposures that could lead to more symptoms as you mature.
