Essential oils in my humble opinion this is the nth degree in herbalism or natural alternative healing you use miniscule amounts and the effect is phenomenal
I have a
friend who is in the business of essential oils or aromatherapy and she educated
me a great deal about the uses and potency of these oils what knowledge I had
was really basic and maybe even less then basic but she gave me an eye opener to
the effect they can have on you emotionally mentally physically and spiritually
( based on whatever your belief system is ) it was used in Christ's day as a
way of purification and was used in the Egyptian culture for burial rites and
for cleanliness same in India and other parts of the world...In Europe it was
used in hospitals and during the 2nd world war used as an aid to heal the
wounded
I will put one here as a sample
CINNAMON
stimulant ( circulatory, cardiac respiratory)
stomachic (digestive stimulant)
antiseptic (antiputrefactive it kills Ebirth bacillus {typhoid}
carminative
vermifuge
antispasmodic
haemostatic
lightly astringent
aphrodisiac (mild)
emmenagogue
slightly raising body temp
External use : parasiticide
AS YOU CAN SEE THEY CAN BE HELPFUL IN ALL TYPE OF SITUATIONS.....SOME OF THEM ARE ANTI VIRAL.... WHEN APPLIED EXTERNALLY CAN WARD OFF A HOST OF VIRALS, BACTERIA, INSECTS THAT COULD BE A NUISANCE ( DO I HEAR MOSQUITOS?) CAN BE USED AS AN ANTISEPTIC ,GOOD FOR BURNS OR SCALDING...FOR A PERFUME...OR TO EVEN AID IN ONES SPIRITUAL QUEST SO ANYONE CAN USE THEM ALMOST FOR ANY KIND OF SITUATION
