“The microbe is nothing, the terrain is everything” - Louis Pasteur
Louis Pasteur, brilliant scientist and the father of the “germ theory” of disease, spent a lifetime studying “germs” and ways to eradicate them for optimal health. On his deathbed, he was purported to have said the above, and so we see how important our inner terrain, or soil, proves, and turn to ways that support the growth of the right microbes, or the “good flora”.
Aromatherapy, or Photo-Aromatherapy is the ancient, timeless use of phytochemical compounds, powerful chemo-types, found in all plants and trees, as medicine for our multi-dimensional beings. Our skin is our largest organ of elimination and absorption, and our sense of smell is a powerful sensory system that has a direct route to vital command centers of the brain and the gut. Photo-Aromatherapy works with our sense of smell and our skin as application methods. Humans and plants have evolved for thousands of years alongside one another, and speak the same language, on a cellular level. Modern pharmaceutical companies, in an attempt to duplicate the power and efficacy of plant and tree medicines, often extract singular and particular active compounds from them. Their chemists then attempt to manufacture that active ingredient in a laboratory to treat or diagnose a disease, often times with devastating failure rates and lethal consequences. Why not go back to the source, to the ancient, tried, and tested use of plants and trees as medicine in a form that has no side-effects because it incorporates the whole plant part, and has been used with great success since time immemorial?
More and more people are becoming increasingly disenfranchised with the dangers of drug interactions and lethal side-effects. Photo-Aromatherapy greatly supports, harmonizes, balances and regulates all the systems of the body, and allows us to find our true homeostasis and point at which our bodies can once again become their own best healers. To support and supplement the health of the soil, or our Micro-Biome, is indeed a powerful approach to long lasting health and vitality, unlike working to weed that same proverbial garden, daily, of all the things we do not want…..including the symptoms our bodies are so intelligently and appropriately gifting us, as valuable indicators that something is out of balance.
Allow the plants and trees, and their supremely intelligent immune systems, as represented in the essences, to support and enliven your vitality from the inside and from the ground up!
