Here we go!!!

That’s my first lines in a blog.

 

Well, my journey with essential oils started almost twenty years ago but I have always been a fan of natural healing and holistic “Grand’Ma” ‘s remedy. Thanks to my West Indians parents! My Mother who was raised in a sugar can plantation, surrounded by my aunts who were busy at concealing all kind of oils and ointments against the everyday life ailments.
They were a beautiful necessity throughout my pregnancy and delivery when Mum came to Europe to help with a load of them. , That was also perfect for those baby rub downs and overall health, especially when we lived in the cold climate of Austria and it seemed like colds and flus were more commonly passed around in those chilled winter months.
Then, upon our move to China a couple of short years after, I discovered different oils, news sent, new recipes. I could not call or ask my parents to send me regular orders with the oil that I was using. The cost associated with it, and commitment on a regular basis, was not something I wanted to keep up with during the expat life we started to have.

 

This is how I discovered the power of essential oil: concentration of Nature is a tiny bottle!

 

 

The most beautiful gift ever from the Nature for our Wellbeing! Now, it seems that essential oils has become the “trendy” thing. Of course, I’m all about exploring trends, but my re-connection with oil really began upon learning and studying more to avoid mistake and being able to share,  to function properly, to find natural, holistic alternatives that are not only safe, but effective.

The concentrated oil from plant, flowers, trees to sheer up your Health, Mood, Energy! The same thing applies to minor burns and scrapes, muscle soreness and aches, immune support, congestion, and the virtually endless list of normal everyday life experiences that can be supported naturally.

Essential oils are vectors of health, energy and longevity, our natural, gentle and effective beauty. some prefer to use natural, alternative or holistic techniques; for me it is just a gift from nature. To be enjoyed without moderation! The active principles of essential oils are useful and effective in many areas of daily life: they help to digest, to rebalance the nerves, to soften pain or to prepare sleep. Young and old alike can find their own oil.
Our sense of smell is an overly sensitive organ and has a subtle memory. I don’t know about you, but the memories of my childhood are often drawn with smells: The smell of mum’s perfume, and that of Mum’s cakes, even that of my Grandpa’s cream when I had the flu. In addition, essential oils have remarkable antiseptic power, their action takes place at the level of energy recharging of our neuro-hormonal batteries and rebalancing of our body. It should also be noted their particularly important role in cleaning up the polluted air we breathe. They deodorize, perfume, oxygenate, ionize, and disinfect.

INCENS ETC…

1 Comment

Aromatherapy is more and more present in newspapers and TV shows … With it, incense sticks or cones, are popping up everywhere. Beautiful incense boxes are offered, and make great gifts. Incense of all shapes, colors and scents can be found there. But, do you really know  what are these incenses really made of?

Natural incense, the meaning of incense

Natural incense is originally a mixture of resin (taken from the tree called frankincense the famous Boswellia !), aromatic powders extracted from various plants, trees and shrubs as well as essential oils. Cinnamon, cloves, basil, sandalwood, lavender are the most common, but there are many varieties.

Originally, incense accompanied prayers and religious rituals. They represented the way in which the gods conveyed their messages to men. Incense continues to be used in this sense: Hindus, Indians, Africans, Westerners too …

Used since antiquity, incense is a burning fragrance that exists in various forms: cone, ball, stick or spiral.

 

Traditionally, incense powder can be obtained from wood chips or resin, which are reduced more or less finely. The fumigations that escape are the source of their benefits. The Egyptians, great perfumers, were among the first to take advantage of the many virtues of incense. For the best results, we will of course opt for a natural incense. Over the centuries, it has and, still plays a big role in alternative medicine and welbeeing. Most incense contains essential oils, so they are frequently used in essential oil therapy. The generic benefits of essential oils (stimulating the immune system, protecting against respiratory and especially bacterial infections, etc.) are therefore, on a smaller scale, part of the virtues of incense.

 

For your emotions

It is well known that the most powerful of our senses is smell because it acts directly on our emotions. When we consume incense, the scent molecules reach our brain directly and settle in its limbic part, the seat of our emotions. By increasing the way we experience our emotions, incense can also help us improve our spirituality. It is for this reason that it is widely used in spiritual rituals in many countries in Asia.

For the intention

The virtues of incense may also be due to its placebo effect! In the case of a ritual, the objects used have above all a symbolic value. We settle in a quiet place, we carry out the preparations for the ritual, we concentrate on lighting the incense, we contemplate the smoke and we enjoy its smell … We refocus on the essential, we take time for oneself. Even before the virtues of incense are felt, there is a whole intention that takes place and acts on us. This does not detract from the true virtues of incense, but on the contrary reinforces them. Some call it meditation, relaxation, inner self… Pleasuredome !
According to their composition, incense would also have therapeutic virtues. Certain natural resins, embellished with essential oils, transform negative emotions into positive ones. By lighting an incense stick, you can convert your stress into a positive emotion, your impatience into patience, your irritation into kindness.

Frankincense has a relaxing and purifying power. Living in Oman , Country of incense , I did have the opportunity to feel the relaxing atmosphere around! Certain compositions of incense would help to have self-confidence, to concentrate, to think, to stimulate the sexual desire, to meditate, to balance your energies. Visit this page which offers a set of incense-based compositions.

Which incense to choose? Natural incense!

There are different kinds of incense, natural incense that must be heated (on a heat source like a candle) for its essence to propagate.

 Watch out for synthetic incense: these incenses can contain up to 90% sawdust and charcoal, as well as synthetic fragrances and fuel. All these components, inhaled, can only be harmful to your health.

Here in Oman we can still find a real tradition of handmade incense with receipt strictly secretly guarded generation to generation !

.This precision work is carried out by adults of full age using a technique handed down by their ancestor.

It is not easy to choose among this wonderful sent and divers fragrance that we can offer from Oman !
