Today – I answer an emailed question from a visitor to my website – “What is Aromatherapy and how can it help me?”
We delve briefly into the history of macerated oils to steam distillation techniques that have existed since 5,000 BCE, the alchemy of healing perfumes used in Ancient Egypt, Greece and throughout the Roman Empire.
Aromatherapy is part of two healing fields: the field of energy medicine and the field of phytotherapy. It has been used since before 5,000 BCE.
Many Ancient Egyptian medical Papri discuss the healing properties of macerated and distilled aromatic oils to treat the mind, body and spirit.
Priests & Egyptian Alchemists were experts in blending perfumes, elixirs and oils used in ritual and celebration, as well as to help the Ka of any person to find healing, balance, peace and wellbeing.
Essential oils have a unique living energetic signature and resonance that can affect your health by stimulating your body’s own natural healing systems.
We also discuss why aromatherapy is now considered one of the most immediately beneficial and powerful resources for healing and personal transformation today.
