Aromatherapy - Ravensara Gentle Anti-viral Remedy
By KG Stiles Platinum Quality Author
Ravensara ( Ravinsara aromatica ) has a soft, sweet aroma with a lightly camphorous scent, similar to Eucalyptus.
Ravensara has a reputation as a universal healing oil to be used for a broad spectrum of conditions.
It is especially beneficial for treating any type of respiratory illness like: bronchitis, sinusitis and flu.
Ravensara is an immuno-stimulant and promotes detoxification.
Its anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties make it an excellent aromatic mist for use in a room. Or try a few drops in a bowel of steaming hot water.
Ravensara's very gentle action as an immune support make it one of the safest anti-infectious oils to use with children!
Ravensara also acts as gentle and nourishing support for the nerves making it especially good for treating chronic conditions.
Good results may be obtained for infectious mononucleosis, shingles and cold sores.
For shingles I recommend blending it with Sandalwood and Myrrh for inhalation.
Ravensara's tonic effect on the nerves make it useful for treating mental and physical fatigue.
May be beneficial in a blend with Neroli and Sandalwood for treating Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
PLEASE NOTE: There are many cheap, synthetic copies of aromatic oils, but these are not recommended for therapeutic use. For best results purchase the highest quality oils you can possibly find. Use certified organic essential oils, or oils that have been tested and are pesticide free.
Holistic MindBody Therapy, including pure essential oils, are gentle, noninvasive complementary forms of health care for balancing and synchronizing your body, mind and spirit and a natural, safe and effective way to enhance your health and well-being. Holistic health care may produce satisfying results where other methods have failed. Please consult with your physician regarding serious health concerns and do not attempt to self diagnose.

A combination of Essential Oils and Massage Oils are comprised from various plants and used in the treatment and cure of many ailments. Massage Oils are very therapeutic and help in the release of stress and anxiety which enables you to relax and also rejuvenate your body.

Stress Relief With Essential Oils
By Nick Arrizza, M.D. Platinum Quality Author
I report on several recent studies that assessed the potential use of essential oils in the alleviation of stress related conditions.
1. A significant study done by Atsumi, T and Tonosaki, K. (Department of Oral Physiology, Meikai University, School of Dentistry, 1-1, Keyaki-dai, Sakado-shi, Saitama 350-0283, Japan.) showed that inhaling lavender or rosemary essential oils for 5 minutes significantly reduced the levels of the hormone cortisol in saliva samples as well as significantly increasing the body’s natural free radical scavenging ability. Cortisol is a hormone that is normally elevated in stressful states. Additionally one finds elevated levels of tissue damaging “Free Radicals” in stress states. Free radical scavenging is the process by which the body “mops” up these dangerous chemicals and prevents tissue degeneration and reduces the risk of developing cancerous conditions.
2. In a study done by Hwang, JH from the Dept. of Nursing, Geochang Provincial College, Geochang-gun, Gyungnam, Korea. The researchers found that “an inhalation method using essential oils can be considered an effective nursing intervention that reduces psychological stress responses and serum cortisol levels, as well as the blood pressure of clients with essential hypertension.” The essential oils used in this study were a blend of lavender, ylang-ylang and bergamot used once daily for 4 weeks.
3. In a third study Hongratanaworakit, T, Buchbauer, G. Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Srinakharinwirot University, Nakhon-nayok 26120, Thailand. Reported that through the use of ylang-ylang essential oil absorbed through the skin their study group rated themselves as being calmer and more relaxed than the control group.
