Do you have a Certification Course?

Hello Judy,

I was wondering if you plan on offering teaching courses so that others may become practitioners of your product line.  I don't see anything like this on your website and I think it would be a great idea.  If it is something you are planning on doing or something you already do, please let me know as I am very interested.

Thank you and blessings,
Tracy

If and How does Climate Affect Intergrity of Aromatherapy Products?

Hello:
 
I am considering ordering AromaHealthTexas essential oils and Petite Fleur Essences for my personal use; however given the intense summer heat I have reservations given that shipping vehicles are typically not climate controlled. 
 
Can you please explain if and how climate affects the integrity of the oils and essences and if whether any special considerations are used or needed during the shipping process to protect the products?
 
Thank you.

Carrier Oil Question

Most of your essential oils state to dilute in water or a carrier oil. Is there a "generic" carrier oil which harmonizes with any of the essential oils or is there specific carrier oils for each essential oil? Also, if diluted with water, is it intended to be applied to the specific treatment area such as those which reduce digestive symptoms & complaints? Where on the your body do you spray for those intended to treat depression,anxiety, and stress?  
Kevin
Most aromatherapists use sweet almond oil or jojoba. In water, the blend can be applied to unbroken skin anywhere. With digestion and some other ailments, we do like to apply the blend on or near the site . For anxiety , depression and stress, I like to apply or spray on the neck, temples or nape of the throat..
 Thank you, very good questions

Rest, increased liquids and time best reduce symptoms. Aspirin and all salicylate products should not be administered due to high risk of developing Reye’s syndrome 6 days after onset of flu symptoms. Rey’s includes nausea, vomiting, disorientation and fatty infiltration of the liver. Vaccination or flu shots contain and egg base. Those allergic to egg should consult a physician.

Magnesium may also reduce neuropathy. Sources include wheat germ, green leafy vegetables, seafood, seaweeds, nuts and beans. (See Slice of Life, Griffin, J.: Herbal Health Inc. Fort Worth, Texas)

Organic Rose Oil Benefits to Reduce Chemotherapy Side

There are many benefits of Organic Rose Oil to reduce chemotherapy side effects. Over 13 years ago, I was invited to develop an aromatherapy program for Baylor Hospital’s Healing Program in Dallas, Texas. I developed rose oil blends to reduce nausea, anxiety, mental and emotional stress, neuropathy and other discomforts from chemotherapy. Very shortly thereafter, I was given the go ahead to start the program for the stem cell and bone marrow transplants, who have the most symptoms.
I began by using Harmony, a blend of organically grown, hand separated rose oils from antique roses I grow and steam distill in glass on site. The aroma is light and lifts quickly and enhances the benefits of rose oil to reduce chemotherapy side effects.
Chemotherapy recipients are sensitive to strong odors. The light scent of these rose oils have a relaxing, DE-stressing effect. Harmony contains oil from several roses and small amounts of Petite Fleur Essences, blended to enhance self healing processes for the recipient. The scent lifts quickly to avoid overwhelming the patient. The effect was immediate for most patients.
Since chemotherapy patients detox through the skin, I suggested application of  rose oil blend to be lightly massaged on the inner ear, avoiding the ear hole.* (*See The Healing Power of Flowers documentary and Flowers that Heal by Dr. Judy Griffin.) This location is where 5 major nerve ganglia join and directly affect the brain. Ancient healing modalities call this location the “path to the soul.” The inner ear does not interfere with detoxification or chemotherapy. However the program has been so successful in reducing chemotherapy side effects, I expanded my rose oil blends to every patient. The program is voluntary throughout the hospital’s healing program for patients.
The benefits of organic rose oil for chemotherapy side effects include pain reduction. One female patient did not want to use pain medications because she suffered side effects. She used the Harmony as needed to reduce pain throughout her treatment. She refused all pain medications by using Harmony and successfully completed treatment and therapy. (See the Healing Power of Flowers documentary.)
As patients continued to improve, live longer and suffer less side effects, I was asked to make organic rose oil blends for several other programs. For cancer programs, I developed Self Image rose oil blend to reduce the psychological suffering of hair loss and lessening of self-esteem. For chronic pain and sickle cell programs, I developed Stop Suffering rose oil blend. Fatigue rose oil blend was created for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients. Cravings was blended for food and substance abuse programs.Transitions was developed for palliative care. Maternity for expectant mothers requiring hospital treatment. Relaxation and Recovery are used before and after cancer and day surgeries. Deep Sleep helps restore natural sleep patterns. Regenerate helps reduce scarring. Mobility reduces bone and arthritic symptoms. Grief helps recover from the loss of life, body parts, limbs and loved ones. Each blend is unique, all containing organic rose oil and catalyze the natural self- healing process.
The Harmony and rose oil blends have since traveled to different hospitals and many countries. I have lectured at the “NEAT” breast cancer program at hospitals in Fort Worth, Texas and cancer support groups of every nature. The rose oil blends have traveled to conferences in Findhorn, Scotland; Zurich, Switzerland and London, England. In London, I lectured with Dr. John Lee, pioneer of natural progesterone therapy.
The rose oil blends are available at www.aromahealthtexas.com. Please direct your questions by phone to me at 1-800-496-2125.
The benefits of organic rose oil to reduce chemotherapy side effects can be applied to most illnesses and symptoms. These aromatherapy products may be used along with medications.

Weight Loss and Special Diets

THYROID AROMATHERAPY

Chronic pain, fatigue and fibromyalgia can include an underlying thyroid problem. Common symptoms of lower thyroid include “brain fog” or senility in the elderly; malaise and fatigue often misdiagnosed as depression; dry, brittle hair, skin and nails or thinning hair; constipation; cold hands feet or susceptibility to coldness, low body temperature under 98.6; weight gain or inability to lose weight; heart attacks and symptoms of heart trouble, especially in women; miscarriages and infertility; unresolved nerve pain.   Pain aromatherapy is a topical solution to help with these matters.  Our thyroid aromatherapy blend may  safely be used along with over the counter and prescription medications or these pain aromatherapy blends may be used on their own.

The thyroid is the body’s main metabolizer. It allows nutrients from foods available to be absorbed. We are not only what we eat, but, more importantly, what we metabolize. The thyroid is affected by stress and “aging”, which may lower optimal capacity.

Toxic Thyroid is a blend of essences and essential oils, applied topically that can enhance the thyroid’s performance. It is not hormonal or a substitute for thyroid hormones. It may be used as an adjunct to hormone therapy and to reduce symptoms of low thyroid.

Toxic Thyroid has also helped those suffering from symptoms of hyperthyroid: rapid heartbeat, anxiety and inability to gain weight are major symptoms. Always contact a physician when symptoms occur that may require blood work and medical supervision.

LOW DOPAMINE AND WEIGHT GAIN

Low dopamine levels in the brain lead to weight gain. Dopamine gives the brain power and the body energy. Low receptors and levels in the brain cause abnormal hunger, sugar cravings and fatigue.

Petite fleur Essences catalyze balance and healing in brain chemistry. Applied daily they enhance chemical messengers bringing balance and correction in the brain, increasing energy and stamina, while reducing cravings and abnormal hunger.  The Petites have been researched for the past 30 years and featured in The Healing Power of Flowers documentary available at my website and shown on cable television.

Knotted marjoram reduces compulsive eating; binges.
Pink Rose  the need to substitute food for love.
Country Marilou  reduces uncomfortable feelings about how you look.
Weighless  reduces appetite
Weight  balances blood sugar and promotes weight loss.
Cravings reduces abnormal hunger.
Lighten Up  helps overweight children reduce excess weight.
Energy  reduces fatigue and increases dopamine levels and uptake.
The Petites work quickly to encourage healing and natural weight loss without side effects of dependency.
