flower remedies and aromatherapy
Talking about flower remedies and aromatherapy
Is a bit like talking about music
one can talk at great length about music
But is only by listening to music to what all the rave is about
Let us first talk about flower remedies
The Subtle energies of flower essences work their way through the physical circulatory systems and nerves to reach the meridians
Dr Bach the pioneer of flower remedies correctly perceived that the illness- personality link was due the out growth of dys-functional energetic patterns within the subtler bodies ??
Refer to PDF
Some flower essences are so ethereal and universal that they do not interfere with other vibrational remedies
These flower remedies include cherry larkspur, lilic, lotus mango, papaya, yarrow and all roses
The colour of the flower is usually a good indicator to chakra of association
If your planning on ingesting flower remedies
which of course you can
the instruction usually say about 2drops to per glass of water.
Again as with chillax herbal tea blend may not be correct dosage
Gurudas flower remedy book says
up to 9 drops flower remedy in a glass of 'still water'
So go with 5 drops at first of single or combo flower remedy and adjust as you see fit
In the candle burner blend given further down below much less is needed.
two drops combo plus a drop of single flower remedies [up to 5 different one ]more than sufficient, because the method works directly with the subtle anatomy
Note: to many remedies taken at once would tend to over stimulate the release of toxins from the system
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy are natural non synthetic fragrances
Which reach the olfactory nerves in the nose
which are directly linked to the brain and subtle anatomies energy.
Aromatherapy acts powerfully to
revitalises , polarises and dis-charge cells ,
replenishes electronic shortages
by recharging - the bio-electro magnetic glance of the human body
and dispersing cellular residue
by dissolving the vicious and
diseased substances of body fluids

Such the fragrant heavens
In the butterfly expression pdf a unique chemistry feature is pinpointed known as "Sesquiterpene" that some E.O. Possess
“sesquiterpene’ - is the chemistry structure of some essential oils
that has a very this interesting feature
as it is able to crosses the blood/ brain barrier
The blood/ brain barrier is the membrane between the circulating blood and the brain
that prevents certain damaging substances from entering the brain tissues and cerebrospinal fluid
As well entering the brain tissues and nourishing,
it increases oxygen around the pineal and pituitary glands
that has a profound affect on attitude and emotion
this allows on subtler level the unique capability of deleting faulty information in cellular memory,
plus all of them are immune stimulant
The list Essential Oils that have this unique chemistry in abundance have been listed in the pdf attachment
cedarwood, patchouli, sandalwood, ginger, blue cypress, myrrh, vitever chaste tree, chamomile german, black pepper, spikenard,
Ylang Ylang , this blood brain barrier and bring increased amount of
healing properties essential oils to the limbic system of the brain
present also in the limbic system of the brain is a gland called amyglada [also known as the brain solution center]
Which is directly connected to the ol-factory bulb
which is stimulated by sense of smell and by our thought.
The essential aroma reaches this level of the body and aids in releasing patterns that are not serving us well
That our cells often have incorrect perception imbedded in their memories
The anecdotal evidence shows that oils are amplified by our intent,
the intent of the user will move molecules
of essential oil where it is needed to, more quickly
Look at page 24 table body area and emotion
Page 64
Another chemistry feature to be looking for is Aldehydes
it is the main
Main feature of oils such melissa, lemongrass citronella and lemony of eucalyptus are calming to the nervous system and are ant-inflammatory
Which brings us to Anti-inflammatory properties
A link has been made over stressed nerves (over heat? ) /nerve cell inflammation and depression and why food/ supplement of good essential fatty acids are a must ,
I must admit an huh itty bitty capsule a day for all them agitated/ inflamed nerves cells , or overly charged cell, in which case you might be better off doing the Aryuvedic - oleation therapy because every nerve cell is layered by fat cells
so another feature the essential oil you plan on using
should ideally have have anti-inflammatory properties too.
I am pointing out following chakra as they are the most affected by stress; and energetic blockages as well the allocated E.O. For them
Crown chakra
antopogon, cedar wood, fir siberica, frankincense , jasmine lavender, melissa , neroli, pine sandalwood spikenard, rose
Throat chakra
cedar wood, chamomile [Egyptian, roman ,german] cyress, basil, fir siberica, frankincense, helichrysm , myrrh, peppermint, petitgrain, rosewood, sage, sandalwood
Sacral or naval chakra ,
Cedarwood, clarysage, cinnamon bark and berry, coriander, fennel ,frankincense ,nutmeg ,orange sweet, oregano, patchouli, sage, sandalwood tea tree , tea tree Ylang Ylang, zanthoxylum, benzoin, cardamon, fennel, sandalwood, elemi
Page 105-103 essential oil for various emotion
Water therapies i.e. bath tub / footbath are one of the best form to utilise Aromatherapy and flower remedies

Water magic healing bath recipes for the body and soul by Mary Muryn
Use the same number of flower remedies drops as used for candle burner method
If you haven't as of yet bought an essential oil (E.O.)
consider doing so now.
Ideally go by the fragrance that you like
as the saying go,
the nose knows -
needless to say some stores do not allow you to sample the fragrance in sample bottle
in which case a little research is called for on your part,
From Julia lawless book , I have listed the oils that have an affinity
for the nervous system
All spice, angelica ,lemon balm ,basil, bergamot, cardomon, cedar wood , cinnamon leaf, coriander, elemi, cypress, frankincense geranium, helichrysum,
hops, hyacinth hyssop jasmine , juniper true lavender, lemongrass, linaloe, linden, mandarin,
sweet marjoram ,mimosa,
mint [peppermint and spearmint]
orange [sweet/ bitter] neroli, petitgrain, scotch pine, rose [cabbage and damask]
Rosemary, rosewood clarysage, sandalwood, hemlock spruce, valerian lemon verbena, vetiver, violet, yarrow ylang ylang, citronella
if you were enrolling onto an aromatherapy course you'd be told to buy 12 essential oil,
how ever I'm aware some of you may be on budget/ or indeed true sceptics’ . So improvise and get four for now with the following qualities as well chemistry properties mentioned above
if your really pushed than *geranium essential oil* is quite versatile
1st muscle relaxing essential oils I have listed option in the pdf
French basil, chamomile, coriander, eucalyptus , ginger, helichrysum, lavender, lemongrass, sweet marjoram, pine rosemary sage etc
2nd E.O. That has an affinity for the lungs
usually derived from the leaves
I have listed option in the pdf
and yes we are focusing breathing ...your options eucalyptus , cypress , pine, thyme cedarwood etc...
The 3rd E.O. base note grounding quality
essential oils would be the pricier one ideally be the grounding / calming
I have listed option in the pdf
E.O. Frankincense , patchouli , vetiver , lemon balm, lavender , sandalwood, basil etc
If you have bought earthing sheet/ mat it too will naturally polarises and dis-charge cells , replenishes electronic shortages by recharging - the bio-electro magnetic batteries of the nerves system
4th esssential oil uplifting quality
One citrus E.O. Your probable options are grapefruit, bergamot , orange( I prefer mandarin )lemon , lime
(if your gona be using a diffuser, it doesn't allow for citrus E.O.
Choose another i.e. lemon grass or spearmint, citronella ... (Note:not Peppermint maybe too warming) 1
Note :Make sure you have cross checked for contra-indication.
Use them individually at first to use for 'now' in diffuser / oil candle burner.
than consider combining a drop of two E.O. each ...
Than using a drop from all four E.O.
Adjust to how you see fit
As for flower remedy - just go for Bach rescue remedy for now, and add two drops of that in addition into diffuser / oil candle burner.
:
a candle burner with a large dish to which you have added Water / herbal water
a good haphazardness free place to put it
up 5 drops of essential oils of your choice
2 drops of the 5 drops essential oil would good idea if they had affinity for the lungs.
i.e. cedar-wood eucalyptus, pine etc
the tea light candle burner it must have a good size dish if plan to place small crystal
a combo flower remedy i.e.
A Vogel Jan De Vries Bowel Essence 30ml
Bach rescue remedie
In addition must be included
1drop comfrey oil
1drop grapefruit seed extract []
and a piece itty bitty pieces of Dandelion coffee/extract / or some left from root coffee tea
Extracts / tinctures/ powders / seeds
Some herbs are not easily available as essential oil or available as flower remedies at last look online .
However since we only need the essence of it, for use on the subtle anatomy, meaning using Extracts / tinctures/ powders / seeds will suffice to get its benefit providing You have used other flower remedy drops
in your aroma dish blend
always use flower remedy combo of 2 drop
Or 2-5 drops of single flower remedies combined
hence combo mentioned Bach rescue remedies/
A. Vogel Jan De Vries Bowel Essence 30ml
Other floral combo blends work well to
Pin pointed the A. Vogel Jan De Vries Bowel Essence 30ml one
digestion
assimilation /2nd chakra
and the secret with this
you can be quite versatile
you can add just about anything including small crystals into the dish [just don't use one that gemstone that has too many nooks and crannies [ hard to clean] in your aromatherapy candle burner dish
to benefit from it
It helps increase you subtle anatomies ability to absorb the essences better
Other Thing you could are herbs previously mentioned chillax herbal tea form
Or if you can't get hold of particular flower remedy, its seed will do same job
providing you use always use a flower remedy combo
Or
pinch of kelp powder, clay powder, Himalayan salt ,
magnesium flakes, Zinc oxide etc
Or drops of carrier oil ie Virgin coconut , sunflower etc has tremendous relaxing effect
Small rock crystal / gemstones
Why do I mention consistently the use flower remedy in the oil burner method
Because floral flower remedy brings the vibratory rate to the higher subtle anatomy , meaning that that essential oil are also bought up a level ,meaning finally surpassing emotional body through to the mental and spiritual bodies, sensitive individuals maybe be able to feel major and minor chakra point as well as sensation of stress release at this level
For example the following herbs in their flower remedy form benefit subtle anatomy as described
Comfrey
comfrey integrates the mental body influence evenly through out the nervous system, this allows the intellect to directly enter all level of the body. A good tonic for the entire endocrine system, particularly adrenal and spleen. aid in assimilation of all B vitamins
A healthy nervous system is very important in many forms of meditation comfrey helps one to release tension stored in the nervous system and subconscious mind
Which allows for previous unconscious thought pattern and ideas from the subconscious mind to surface,
and are than much more easily released.
Use drops of comfrey oil , like you would essential oil
Dandelion
Mental body stress often lodges in the muscle, Some Stress in the muscles often comes from the mental body, an aggravated mental body often creates muscular tension
Dandelion Creates tremendous relaxation through out the muscular structure,
as the dandelion essence influences the mental body[ the natural colour of the mental body is yellow] and so there is less/ decreases stress .
Associated with chakra at the base of the feet which is connected to small intestine, activating this chakra stimulates the absorption of various mineral to stabilise person emotionally
Grapefruit Extract
Primarily adjust and aligns cranial plates, which relieves pressure from the atlas,it has a regenerative effect on the body , manifesting clearer thought and the release of tension stored in the temples, head, and jaw bone, [
Eucalyptus as essential oil is fine
Bring balance within the emotional states , the lungs are part involved in The esoteric portion of the anatomy because it oxygenates via the ethereal properties of the lung system, that balances the capacities of heart chakra
And eliminating extreme emotional states ,
stimulates thymus associated with heart chakra
The ethereal fluidium, etheric body and meridians are strengthened ,
this allows other vibrational remedies to integrate closer to the cellular level
Pennyroyal flower
Strengthen etheric body to such an extent that negative thought form cannot penetrate the physical body or psyche
[flower essence form only ]
Yarrow
on the other hand is more is more effective against blocking negative energy waves / obsessed with a by a specific thought pattern I.e. Workaholics mentality
How to use
1 drop un diluted essential oil
Or 2 drops yarrow essential oil that has been blended in 10ml carrier oil1or
1or 2 drop as flower remedy tincture form
Head care
Headaches are caused by blocks and concentration of energy…..
….in which case in addition to the following you will need to learn grounding techniques….[or refer earthing note]
willow bark, birch , wintergreen, meadowsweet are Nature's aspirin for headache[ salicylates] -herbal fore runners of aspirin[ which does not cause bleeding problems, or digestive disturbances, ]
others in flower remedies that are good headaches fox glove and by experience olive and aspen [Bach flowers] combined work well
the hair is the extension of the energy of the spine,
As it acts as an energy antenna and prana regulator
to consolidate the energy coming through the chakras,
it connects us energetically to the environment,
Damage , falling prematurely greying hair is sign of too much pitta
{fire energy }in the head.

Sesame and almond- soft and moist.
Use prepared aryuvedic hair oils
or giving your self Indian head massage! To chosen carrier oil add
Two drops of grapefruit flower essence can be added for really decongesting that stress
