What Customers say about Healing Inteligence and Plant Language

I must say, the Plant Language Course has had a very deep and positive effect on me. The knowledge that an infinite amount of help and healing can be derived from even one single plant, is mind boggling and awe inspiring. Since my true "aromatic adventures" recently began with the Plant Language Course, I feel closer to God and really have begun to appreciate the wonders of the universe.

Sue C., NY

again a huge thank you as a dear friend of mine who was stricken with not one but THREE bouts of TTP (a rare blood disease) followed by not one, but THREE INDEPENDENT cancers, not metastases! i believe the cancers were resultant from the TTP, (lung, head and neck and bladder). anyway, this has all been going on over the past eight years, yet while on his third course of chemo for the bladder cancer (scheduled for a total of four) was able to train and run a race called the turkey trot, this past thanksgiving and looking great. being a cancer professional and treating these people for 20 years, i know this is unheard of! last year by his 8th week of chemo/radiation for the head/neck, he looked like a patient going into week 3; amazing stuff and i know it has been the cocktail of your essential oils myself and his wife made for him compliments of your work and dr. giraud-robert's case studies. there is no other explantation!

Essential Oils as Antiviral Agents

atural essential oils are effective against viral pathogens such as Herpes, Shingles or Flu viruses. There is a fair amount of research that proves it and it is well established through the collective experience of the aromatherapy community. However, rather than recommending a blend of oils and pretending it would be a magical cure, we believe that some education about the antiviral effects of essential oils is most useful for the treatment of viruses. The following thoughts are directed to everyone who wonders what could be done preventatively and for treatment (if needed) within the realm of aromatherapy or alternative medicinal approaches.

aroma The International Magazine for Essential Oils

aroma goes beyond the common denominator of mediocrity and searches out the oils of distinction. aroma features the women and men who distill true essential oils. In our opinion the best way to establish identity (and consequently provide the best assurance of authenticity) is by telling the story of the culture and region where the plants are grown and also of the passion of the individuals who distill them.
