"Aromatherapy, also referred to as Essential Oil therapy, can be defined as the art and science of utilizing naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to balance, harmonize and promote the health of body, mind and spirit.  It seeks to unify physiological, psychological and spiritual processes to enhance an individual’s innate healing process." 
​
- National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy
To understand the powerful link between fragrance and the health of our bodies, one must appreciate how fragrance is the external piece of molecules of emotion, how we smell not just with our brains but with our entire bodies. 

​- Candace B. Pert, PhD

Did you know? 
  • Essential oils come from a variety of plants from all over the world and include various plant parts: leaves, roots, stems, flowers, bark, and even blossoms.
  • It takes at least 60 Roses to make 1 drop of Rose Essential Oil
  • Research shows that essential oils have the capability to heal at the cellular level.
  • While used widely for their physical health benefits, essential oils can also play a powerful role in emotional and spiritual healing.
  • There are over one hundred verses in the Bible that mention the use of oils and incense.
  • Essential oils are chemically complex, made up of one hundred to four hundred different chemical compounds from it's parent plant.

​Aromatherapy can be experienced in a variety of ways. Essential oils are a very popular and readily available resource. While there are many resources for purchasing essential oils today, there are very few regulations and standards in the industry. If you're curious about safely using quality oils, begin reading and researching and explore what works for you and your family. I suggest investing in high quality products as well as companies that you have researched and trust. Look for those who provide third-party testing, honor and encourage high safety precautions, and protect the integrity of indigenous plants. Try not to get too hung up on the promises from certain companies or other people. Begin using your oils safely and pay attention to your own body's response. While there are a variety of trusted essential oil companies available, I currently partner with Imani Natural to offer you quality medicinal oils.

There are also many great certifications, courses, and books that are accessible to you today for growing your own knowledge and understanding. However, I believe your best resource is truly your own experience and intuition. See below for starter kits from Imani or order directly from imaninatural.com with coupon code "exploringpeace" and you will receive a free bottle of essential oil.

Mind-body health is achieved when our thoughts, our emotions, and our physical bodies are in harmony, inspired by our inner spirit.​ Essential oils that work simultaneously on all levels are the perfect instruments to bring this about. They are the gifts from God in the plant world that magnetize us toward this optimum state of balance.
