Aromatherapy 101

What are essential oils? What are the differences between the various types of essential oils available? What are the benefits of essential oils? What can essential oils be used for? Are they safe to use on children? Are they safe for animals? Can they be used to cook with?

Having been introduced to Young Living Essentials Oils in 2005, I have been a sponge and since that time have been learning the extraordinary health benefits of Young Living Essential Oils. These natural remedies that God and Mother Nature have bestowed upon us are the pure, life blood of plants. In the coming weeks, I will be posting some educational information with regards to these questions above.

Look forward to sharing...

WHAT IS CHAMPISSAGE?

As a Certified Champissage Bodyworker, many people have asked what the benefits are. Also known as Indian Head Massage, this technique was founded by Narendra Mehta who moved from India to London. When it came time for him to get a haircut, Narendra was surprised that none of the hair salon's provided a head massage which was a given in India. He went back to India to create this  amazing ayurvedic technique which addresses the shoulders, upper back, upper arms, neck, scalp, face and ears. By incorporating modern insight from scientific physical therapy and subtle forms of healing energy bodywork, Narendra created this technique which is done seated with the recipient fully clothed. Oils may or may not be used for this and can be conveniently done just about anywhere.

I have had the pleasure of giving Champissages at the New Life Expo, Omega Conference and the Navel Expo as well as in a corporate environment. The wonderful benefits include the following: promotes hair growth, creates a calming and peaceful mind, brings focus and clarity. Soothes, comforts and rebalances energy flow restoring a deep sense of peace, calm and tranquility

WELCOME TO MY HOMEPAGE

Thank you for visiting my community page. I will be sharing information on how to live a healthier lifestyle through nutrition, movement, aromatherapy and healing alternatives. I would also like you to feel free to share what may work for you as well. There is more than the conventional that is safer and easier on the body, mind and spirit.

As a mother, sister and daughter, I have experienced several life-changing situations that have led me on a quest for better health and healing for myself and my family. Having to help family members with Type 1 (sister) and Type 2 (father) diabetes, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (son - who survived a sudden cardiac arrest which also resulted in mild traumatic brain injury), kidney cancer (mom) and breast cancer (myself), I am continually embarking on a journey to find alternatives to help one heal with natural therapies. Although traditional medicine does have its place in the world, I have found that alternative therapies like essential oils, change of eating habits, movement, and emotional releasing work hand in hand to help one heal their body, mind and spirit for total health and well-being.
