Flower Remedies and Aromatherapy for Mental Health









Started this over two years ago, still not complete,  but hope it's helpful 




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

Julia lawless ,  
and books by Valerie Ann worwood
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 

Recommended reading 

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.

To keep your mind on track, use cooling oils for daily scalp care coconut, pumpkin, ghee [clarified butter] helps memory
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 

Note in this instant grapefruit extract will not do as it does in the candle oil burner method as extract is far to concentrated  as we need flower essence 


For those of you still loosing head hair  stress over this:  

Option 1
rinse hair in cooled down yarrow tea
/mix cooled down yarrow tea to shampoo  and  use as usual
/or few drops of yarrow essential oil in to shampoo bottle  :)

Option two  
a teaspoon of well rinsed rice ,
soaked over night in glass of pure mineral water

Is a powerful  tonic for the nervous system, 
particularly autonomic  nervous system, 
it increases neurological responses 
and invigorates the activity of synapses between nerve cells .various energy pattern associated  with the nerves are stimulated,
incomplete patterns in the brain naturally associated with the nerve that are unused or regenerate under influence of comfrey , these nerves begin to fill in the pattern that were missing in the hologram pattern of memory and understanding and consciousness , 
that might have been previously lossed, 
help re-channel brain messages, 
this transfer of new  pattern will gradually be established purified  vibration of the mental body allows for penetration  into other [ by me  . Clearing energetic blockages at this level] 
It activate the first  or sacral chakra  these chakra acts a tonic for the nervous system because it is a major reflex point  to the nervous system under a microscope  that some of the plant structure has similarities  to the nervous system

The mental body is  association is indicated by its yellow bloom
When it becomes a white puff ball -emotional body
