Here are some answers from Mikael
Zayat and excerpts from articles he wrote and published in Canada. They
include some suggestions on how to help relieve common ailments, and maintain
good health, things you would normally treat at home. This is not a replacement
for the diagnoses, advice and treatments provided by competent professionals,
but could help you.
MBA: How can aromatherapy help us reach other dimensions?
NEW!
MZ: “It is all a matter of definition. Some people believe that other dimensions are in the invisible. I personally think it is a state of mind. If you free yourself from the past by forgiving (cf. the “Forgiveness” book by Dr. Jerry Jampolsky, MD) and trust the future to get rid of FEAR, we can experience compassion in the present. The Essential Oils with their aroma stimulate the sense of smell which is the central sense between hearing and seeing on one side and taste and touch on the other. By being connected to the present moment, we are connected to ourselves and it is only from there that we can sense the true reality (what is real). We belong to the mammals kingdom. From the time of birth, mammals depend on the sense of smell to recognize their babies and guide them through each step in their life. On the other hand, since the early written history, man used incense and other aromatic plants to help them raise their spirit. We find this in many if not all religions. Think of the difference between the smell of a smoky pub (3rd dimension) and the smell of a sacred temple or monastery (4D). It is a big shift! If you want to investigate this subject more deeply, or get scientific data and research (like Dr. Daniel Penoel, MD), I give workshops and seminars, in French most of the time."
Q: If most of the virus infection, sicknesses are
due to a lack of oxygen in our blood, how can essential oils help?
MZ: The best are Red Pine (Pinus Resinosa), White
Pine (Pinus Strobus), and of course also Balsam Fir, Canadian Tsuga etc.
I also created OXYGEN UP to help!
Q: What are the oils good for teeth issues?
NEW!
MZ: If you suffer from ache, rub a drop of peppermint or
clove; it will relieve the pain and disinfect. If you have sensitive gums put a
drop of lemon or cinnamon on your finger and rub your gums. Or if they are
inflamed, use a mouthwash with warm water and 1 or 2 drops of Clove, or Lemon.
As they are antiseptic, the gums will heal more rapidly. If you want to
strengthen your gums, use our Gum Tonic morning and evening.
Q:: What do you recommend to make
candles?
MZ: The heat of the candle will destroy the Essential Oils. That is why
candles are usually made with synthetic fragrances which we must avoid. I
recommend only unscented candles. I prefer the use of an electric diffuser to
purify and add a natural aroma to your surroundings.
Q: And for making soaps?
MZ: Traditionally Lavender was used to perfume soap because of its
cleansing effect. You can also use conifer oils like Balsam Fir and White
Spruce, or even Lemon, Sage, especially Clary Sage. For an excellent result,
Rose oil is incredible if you can afford it
Q: Is Ravensara Aromatica good for hepatitix symptoms?
MZ: Yes. Try also our VIRIS. Put a drop on the inside ankle or the wrist
as it enters the blood immediately.
Q: You do not seem to be a big fan of OREGANO. Why?
MZ: Oregano is good for its phenol content, but I prefer
to use Marjoram. Oregano should be used with great caution because it is
dermo-caustic. Take a drop on a lump of sugar or with some honey.
Q: What are the essential oils acting as a natural
immune system defense?
MZ : I like THYME a lot, because it acts fast,
but you absolutely have to dilute it, or take a teaspoon full of honey
in which you mix 1 drop of Thyme, very rich in phenol. But most of the
firs are also good: Black Spruce, Balsam Fir, ArborVitae etc..
You can use our blend of CONIFER.
Q: What do you recommend for eliminating FUNGIS?
MZ: Oregano is very strong on bacteria but on mushrooms ArborVitae (Thuya) is better. Sometimes Common Tansy is more adequate.
Don't forget that cotton socks can keep humidity on the skin and retransmit
fungis spores back to the toe nail. Mohair wool is very much indicated
to maintain humidity at its lowest. You can also put 8 to 10 drops of fungis in the shoes.
Q.: What is the difference
between a floral water, a hydrolat and a hydrosol?
MZ: Floral waters are
a generic name for hydrolat and hydrosol. It is a precious by-product of
the steam distillation of essential oils. Many people use the terms interchangeably.
We can say that a hydrolat is the water recovered from the distilLATion
of the essential oil, a hydrosol is the essential oil diSOLved in water.
Floral waters include some of the water-soluble molecules of the plant,
and have some of the properties of the essential oils.
The first batch of a floral water
has a higher concentration than later ones. It is gentle, fragrant, and
suitable for all ages. These refreshing body and environmental mists will
soften your skin and delight your senses. Use as a spray or splash for
facial cleansing or refreshing your body for a fresh, light scent. You
can spray into the air to dispel stale air and freshen the home or office.
Spray on the face to energize and to overcome fatigue and drowsiness or
add to facial masks.
We carry Neroli, Rose, Lavender
and Red Spruce (for chills) …
Q: What is the best way
to use an oil if you want a fast relief?
MZ: If the oil is not
dermo caustic (skin sensitive) like Thyme, Oregano, Cinnamon, Bergamot
etc.. the skin would be the best way to use a drop and rub it on the wrist
to test the oils as it is a pulse point . Veins go through there, so it
goes immediately into your blood. Or use any other pulse points like inside
your elbow, the sides of your neck.. For more, read my interview.
Q: HOW MANY OILS at once
can I take safely?
MZ: For blends, I recommend
to take 3 at a time. It is best to space the oils. But you can use them
throughout the day – in moderation.
Q.: If you do not like an
oil, what does it mean? For ex. I have a hard time with your wonderful
peppermint!
MZ: If you do not like
an oil, try another one. In your case, you may be already hyper, that is
why pure peppermint is too strong for you. Try it with other oils, like
Energy, Memory, Kidney, Gall Bladder or Sinus.
Q: What is the difference
between a natural oil and a synthetic one?
MZ: True natural Essential
Oil will help you recover or maintain your health. On the other hand, the
ones manufactured from chemically reconstructed molecules, using petroleum
products etc… smell very strong and last for a long time. I am talking
about peach/apple/lilac/lily of the Valley/gardenia/ magnolia / honeysuckle
are NOT NATURAL. Even lotus goes into that category as I have yet to see
someone distilling some. They can destroy your sense of smell permanently.
Q: Are your blends of Pineal, Pituitary and Thymus and/or the Endocrine help stimulate these glands?
MZ: Absolutely. These synergy oils have proven very helpful to
stimulate the glands.
Q: What oil would you recommend for super-active children?
MZ: Lavender comes to
mind. I also created one for this purpose Concentration, but you can
also try Relax, Memory, Healing......
For children, just remember to dilute them. Put 10% to 20% of Peace, Lavender
in a massage oil. or use Child Relax.
Q: And for the elderly?
MZ: For relaxation, use
Lavender, Relax, Peace, Sleep Well. Give them a foot massage with our Circulation
Massage Oil and use FUNGIS under the toenails if they have any. If they
suffer from Bed ache, use our St John’s Wort. And to help them with a peaceful
transition, give them some Canadian Tsuga (or any of my products that carries
it).
Q.: And for cramps?
MZ: I recommend them to try Red Pine and/or Circulation massage oil.
Clary Sage.
Q: And for Baby Teething?
MZ: Interestingly it is
the same combination as our Pregnant I, which carries Lavender and Chamomile.
Q: I saw you last time with
your own deodorant! What did you put in it?
MZ: Like every other synergies,
I used pure E.O.: Lavender, Balsam Fir, Clary Sage, Rosewood, Orange leaf,
Peppermint & Cypress. Try it, it is now available.
Q: Tell us about your St.
John’s Wort maceration?
MZ: We let the fresh flowers
macerate in olive oil and put them in the Sun for two lunar months. It
is totally natural and can be easily ingested or used for massage as it
makes a wonderful carrier oil. A few drops mixed with honey or on a
piece of bread will help you fight the blues and give you an energy boost.
It
also helps with burns, cuts and bruises etc. If it hurts somewhere, go
get your bottle of SJW. I recommend everyone to have some at home for emergencies,
along with some Lavender and Canadian Tsuga. Many friends have tried SJW to fight
lack of joy
and see good results and absolutely no side effects whatsoever. It is most
effective if you are active after taking it, go for a walk, play, meet
people. The worst is to sit home and watch TV. If you add some "Fearless"
blend, you should be able to conquer the world!
Q: Please describe the benefits
of Lavender for us.
MZ: Lavendula Vera from
Provence is a universal oil which will soothe any discomfort you experience.
If it is a headsore, put a drop on your temples, if you are stressed, tense
or suffer from lack of sleep, breathe some in or put it in a diffuser. In case
of burns, rashes, it will calm the ache immediately. It is also good
for muscle cramps and heart irregularity. Whenever you want to feel clean,
relax, calm, or when your kids have too much energy, reach for Lavender.
Put it on the feet, in a diffuser, on a handkerchief, or make a compress
and put it on your forehead, etc.
Q: And another favorite
of yours, Canadian Tsuga?
MZ: Yes I love Canadian
Tsuga. I use it a lot as it helps people breathe better, sleep, adjust to new
surroundings (including jet lags), avoid fear, bring harmony. Many good results have been reported to help dying persons
make their transitions in peace as it opens subtle doors. Good for mental
fixation… Use on the feet, 5th chakra.
Q: What is Shea Butter for?
MZ: Karite Butter comes
from the nuts of a Madagascar tree. It has natural vitamins A, D and E
which rejuvenate, protect and smooth your skin. It also fights wrinkles
and dry skin (lips) without leaving your skin oily. Shea Butter is also
known to help itching. Good for all skin types.
Q: Do you use any mineral
oil?
MZ: Absolutely none. All
essential oils are 100% pure and my neutral massage oil is made of sunflower,
sesame, jojoba, olive, colza, borage & safflower oils, carefully selected
for their therapeutic effects. There is no solvent, no mineral substance
and no allergen.
Q: You have wonderful and
pure, genuine oils, but how can we choose?
MZ: The ones I just mentioned:
pure Lavender & Canadian Tsuga or blends like Fearless, Self-Esteem
. It depends of your needs: Sleep Well (or Energy), Breathing
in winter (or Moskito/Allergix in summer). For feeling good: Garden,
Women’s Bliss, Valentine, Relax, Harmony. To help focusing: clear or
concentration; energized: Energy, Adrenals
or Memory. And don't forget the maceration St. John’s Wort or its
blends in heal thy self, Ache relief etc.
Finally, I create all my blends
intuitively, but remember to be careful with BERGAMOT & CINNAMON as
they BURN THE SKIN if you expose to the sun.
Q: Besides your wonderful
blends of Breathing, Conifer and Sinis which help open the lungs, what
do you recommend for CHILLS?
MZ: Congestion
& Stuffed Nose:
Externally: Put 1 drop of Ravensara
under your nose. If irritated, use some Shea Butter on the inside of your
nose. Put 2 drops of Lavender and 2 drops of St. John's Wort on a cotton
ball and place in ear.
Internally: 1 drop of Peppermint
in 1/2 teaspoon of honey, 6x a day for 7 days.
