Aroma Therapies and Herbal Remedies What is Aroma Therapy? Aromatherapy: aro·ma·ther·a·py - noun - The use of volatile plant oils, including essential oils, for psychological and physical well-being. Aromatherapy is a complementary healing modality, which has been practiced throughout the world for at least 5000 years, and is based on the use and application of therapeutic-grade essential oils to enable the body/mind achieve and maintain a state of balance. The name Aromatherapy literally means “therapy through the use of aromas.” De-stressing the body and mind through massage and aromatic oils can optimize your health, well-being, and enjoyment of life. True health is a matter of harmony between body, mind, and spirit, and once this is achieved, the healing can begin through the body’s own innate wisdom. Aromatherapy massage is a powerful stress reliever. It combines the healing power of the world's oldest forms of therapy: massage and the topical application of therapeutic-grade essential oils. The combination is a powerful modality to alleviate stress, chronic pain, depression, PMS, headaches, and more. Aroma-therapy is the use of essential oils extracted from plants and herbs.

I am only accepting meds that help with symptoms I really cannot bear. I suffer from great anxiety that turns to anxiety attacks and rage episodes. My tolerence level is zero. I need something to help me relax. I also fall into deep depressions. I need something to help me lift my spirits. I have mixed episodes where I am hypomanic for a few hours a day, usually at night. I get very little sleep, it is not uncommon to get 2 hours here and there for weeks on end. So I need something to allow me to get a good nights sleep for a change. I also feel incapacitated for much of the day fighting bad feelings and episodes of suicdal ideations. These symptoms tears me apart. The only things the medical community can give me to help with these severe symptoms are addictive or have severe side effects. I would rather smoke pot. Pot is a great on the spot type of drug. It helps tremendously. I'd be dead without it. It has a drawback though. It is not long lasting and so one must repeat the dose every couple of hours. That is not always convenient in today's society. So I thought I would like to supplement that with more natural products that will stay in the system longer and provide a base from which I can regulate the pot... ya-da-ya-da-ya-da... I have put together a list of herbs that help with anxiety, depression and sedation. As I can afford it I am going to fill my cupboards and see if this herbal stuff is as good as they say. |
