Aromatherapy: Nature's Healing Communication II


The human body’s brilliant architect gave us several interactive systems to


help maintain balance and


harmony, and ultimately radiant health. These systems, such as our nervous, respiratory, and digestive systems, interact with each other and respond to stimuli from the outside world, as well as to our internal emotional state, promoting harmony and wellness throughout the body on a physical, emotional, and mental level.


Our perception of the world comes to us through our senses and leaves an impression on our internal world, our emotions. Emotions are the gateway to our external reality,


to how we perceive and


how we interact with the world, and ultimately what kind of a reality we create. In the way that we make an internal connection with the outside world, we are either improving or depleting our healthy radiance.


Previously, in the first part of this article, we saw that mind and body communicate through the release of

Dr. Pert explains how the mind and body are inseparable, and how in fact the mind does “not dominate the


body, but rather becomes


the body” and therefore how the emotions play a direct role on the well-ness or ill-ness expressed.

Essential oils coming from natural, organic,


even resources bring the


“biodynamic” essential


message from the plant to the body, messages such as relax, stimulate, or balance. The body will interpret this message from the plant as part of its own communication and respond accordingly. If the aromatic substance is not from a natural plant origin, the brain may not interpret the message clearly and release the corresponding chemicals. The purity of the essential oils leads to the purity of the message received by the body. The quality of essential oil, which comes from different parts of the plant,


is determined by many


factors, for instance on how and when the seed is planted, the plant is harvested, and the parts of the plant are processed. The ordinary rhythms of Nature indicate when these activities should take place in order to yield the best results, such as when the essential


oils


of a plant are most concentrated. When farmers pay attention to the


seasons, the location, and even the phases of the sun, moon, and planets when they plant and harvest they are creating a deep synergy with the plant life that allows for a greater potential and quality, not only in the plant but also in the soil in which it has grown.

In our own internal communication system, we are affected by similar natural


rhythms throughout the


day, the month, and the year. The Human Body’s “Bio-rhythms” follow an internal clock that is in harmony with the rhythms of nature. We swing through these rhythms throughout the day like a pendulum. During the morning and waking time, from 12am to 12pm, the body begins its intellectual and logic processes, focusing outward and releasing the hormone Cortisol, which helps us to deal with stress. From 12pm to 12am, we begin our internal process of rest and recuperation and the body
