A Calming Approach to a Better Sleep Using Essential Oils

Posted on: September 24th, 2015

I think everyone at some time in their life has experienced difficulty in sleeping and this is where essential oils and aromatherapy might be of benefit. . We all want to feel restored and refreshed when we wake up in the morning but there are many who are sleep deprived and struggle through the next day. We may put it down to stress, either work or family related or some might have 'always felt this way' and had no idea that it should feel differently. The short-term effects are many:. Decreased Performance and Alertness: Sleep deprivation induces significant reductions in performance...

These cause joint distress and result in the pain and inflammation that sufferers complain about.  Recent case studies are now showing that aromatherapy is one of the most effective treatments for...

It’s time for a big re-think of what we classify as a medicine

Posted on: August 26th, 2015

Our BE RELIEVED is in the same category as Panadol and Nurofen,we pay an annual fee as a 'Listed Medicine' yet it is still looked on as an alternative medicine. It's time for a big re-think of what we classify as a medicine. As Kurt Schnaubelt in Medical Aromatherapy Healing with Essential Oils reveals: "Modalities such as aromatherapy, which acknowledges the phenomena of the soul, will be vastly more successful in treating the real problems of our times than conventional medicine. Medicine as it stands is part of the problem, therefore it can do very little for its solution". He goes on...

Posted on: August 12th, 2015

Why it's important to know about the placebo effect and how you can use it to decrease your pain and increase your bodies ability to heal Also called the placebo response, this remarkable phenomenon in which a placebo -- a fake treatment, an inactive substance like sugar, distilled water, or saline solution -- can sometimes improve a patient's condition simply because the person has the expectation that it will be helpful. Expectation to experience something plays a potent role in the placebo effect. The more a person believes they are going to benefit from a treatment, the more likely it...

Why is lavender essential oil so versatile?

Posted on: July 28th, 2015

Lavender essential oil has a sweet, fresh, floral, herbaceous, and slightly fruity aroma and is one of the most versatile of the essential oils because of its sedative, carminative, anti-depressive and anti-inflammatory properties, in addition to its recognised antimicrobial effects.

Essential oils to keep you warm

Posted on: July 10th, 2015

I've been a lover of essential oils now for over 20 years and by now you must know that I'm very passionate about them. I strongly believe that they are our medicine of the future. Most times, pain can be quickly and easily relieved naturally, cuts and scratches can be treated, including minor burns and fluid and inflammation can be reduced.  I feel strongly that aromatherapy will become first choice as people realise their safety and the many benefits they have over pharmaceuticals that always carry a risk of an adverse drug reaction. Because of their vast complexity and human...

Posted on: July 2nd, 2015

Applying certain essential oils to the ear canal appears to be an effective treatment for ear infections, findings from an animal study suggest. If toxicity studies confirm the safety of (anti-bacterial) essential oil components for use in the ear, then a significant advance can be made in the treatment of ear infections, the investigators conclude in the Journal of Infectious Diseases. The vapours that are released by essential oils, such as oil of basil, have been shown to have rapid bacteria killing effects. Topical therapy for ear infections is usually not recommended because most...
