MIKAEL ZAYAT - AROMATHERAPY's MAGIC
Aromatherapy is the practice of using fragrant, pure essential oils to enhance the body, mind and spirit. The ancient Egyptians used aromatic spices and oils in cosmetics, religious rituals and as medicine. The use of aromatics was also prevalent in the Greek and Roman civilizations. Today essential oils are used to promote emotional wellness by calming, relaxing, rejuvenating or energizing. Essential oils are obtained by the process of steam distillation using specific parts of aromatic plants. While aromatherapy may involve training and in-depth knowledge of the properties and effects of essential oils, it may also be practiced simply and safely to add beautiful aromas to our environment each day.
Many people are not aware that there are several grades of essential oils, and that less than 1% of the oils that come into the U.S. can be considered of the highest grade, or therapeutic grade for the use of aromatherapy. The lower grades are used for industrial purpose (fragrance, food, laundry detergents, toiletry). They can have an appealing fragrance, but they are synthetic and usually cut with toxic solvents. However, they will not produce the beneficial biochemical and electromagnetic effects that therapeutic grade essential oils will. In fact, if they have been adulterated, they can be harmful instead of beneficial!
A therapeutic grade oil must use a state of art distillation process which must be at low pressure, and it takes much more time. It is done with natural spring water and exclusively in stainless steel distiller. Then the oil is stored to age from 2 weeks to five months in a cool dark place to gain its full aroma. For example the industrial grade lavender takes about 30' to distill 85% of the oil but it can takes one hour and half more to extract the 15% remaining oil. The therapeutic grade lavender would distill for at least two hours to extract the various molecules.
"The extra time and care are worth it. Therapeutic grade oils support us on all levels simultaneously: they work with our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual being to heal, balance, integrate and expand our well-being and awareness, gradually raising our frequencies and grounding joy in our bodies.
Essential oil blends (we have 90) are a combination of essential oils blended to produce a specific effect or feeling
. Some of our most popular blends are: ENERGY put a few drops on your adrenals (just above your waist in the back) and you will feel much more energetic and also you will eat less during the day; ABUNDANCE rub a drop on your wrists and hands and touch what needs joy and money; or VALENTINE put a couple drops on your wrists behind your ears, or on your heart. GARDEN and SLEEP WELL are also favorite. Because essential oils are very concentrated, use drops of it sparingly.
Your essential oils are best stored in a cool (60-70oF), dark place and will stay fresh for up to 3 years (18 months for citrus oils). If you are pregnant, suffer from epilepsy or heart problems, it is best that you consult your health practitioner before using essential oils. Keep them away from children, your eyes and tender mucus membranes
