Organic Essential Oils for our immune system
Health of body and mind is an irreplaceable present or gift.
Our living body is designed to defend and restore itself all along our lives.
Our natural defences are formidable and present. The skin is an incredible structure like a wall of defence, protecting us constantly form invaders, shock and damage and also protecting our inner self.
Our doors of defences are guarded with filters. Invaders that pass these physical defences meet a range of protective barriers such as mucous linings to the mouth and the nose. If our natural defences are breached the body rushes into action and the repair to the damage caused start immediately. The system uses a natural defence of desyintoxication, detoxifying the system.
The role of organic essential oils is there to assist our immune system to fight better against the encountered infection. They have bactericide, antiseptic, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory properties, they really or should find their place in our every day life.
Essential oils used in perfumery, flavouring and in therapies are capable modification due to their adulteration at source, dilution in transit or by various extraction procedure or also mixed with other essential oils to cut down cost.
It is also possible to replicate aromas and create synthetic oils which are known as Nature Identical and resemble the original oil in some of its components. This is why it is important to purchase the right quality organic oils to obtain the desired results, to make skin, body, mind remedies as illustrated in my latest book ‘The Secrets of Youth and Beauty’ published by Pan McMillan.
We have just launched this week our range of organic essential oils, they are stamped with the Soil Association logo. The organic essential oils were approved by the Analytical Committee dealing with authenticity and purity.
The come in three packs with a brochure giving some guidance on how to use them in the most satisfactory way.
1) Starter Pack
2) Youth & Beauty Pack
3) Mothers To Be Pack
I have just returned from Paris where I spent time with my mother. I love Paris it is the city of my youth and I miss it. Paris is always so inspiring and full of surprises, they are at every corner. I love the little boutiques which abound with luxuries and good ideas.
I always check ‘Raisonnance’ a small chain of shops which specialize in youth, beauty and health, selling essential oils and books on aromatherapy. They continually have intriguing and innovative concepts on display.
It was in Paris, where I started work with Marguerite Maury, still recognised as the doyenne of aromatherapy. I was so privileged to have her as my mentor and moved to London when she started her clinic there.
Marguerite Maury established clinics and schools in Paris, London and Switzerland where she gained an outstanding reputation and awards, through her work and innovative research.
For many years, she researched and firmly believed, that the correct essential Oils have a positive effect on our immune system, health and wellbeing.
The Life Force of Nature for Beauty
What is life force? The wonderful energy which animates all living things?
The energy of the life force comes ultimately from the sun but only plant life through photosynthesis can use it directly.
We all depend on the plants which have been storing that energy for our well being.
The plants breathe carbon dioxide, then release oxygen and store solar energy in chemical form which we use as food and other combinations for our health. Green plants cells tap its energy and make sugars, starches, vitamins, minerals, oils etc.
Prevention is our personal responsibility: Today we are aware that fresh air, good food, exercises and sleep are the basis of good health, but even though prevention is a much applauded concept, few of us actually live their lives as if it were a reality, because people don’t take seriously preventive medicine and rather give the responsibility to others.
I was lucky from an early age to be aware of it. Growing up in France, my parents and grandparents believed in preventive medicine and talked about it and made me practise it and it became so natural to me. One must embrace a good respect for Nature and start to understand how to take care of oneself and also be aware of what you could do to honour your own needs physically and psychologically, taking responsibility.
It made me conscious of what I was eating and also what I was applying to my skin. So when I met Marguerite Maury I had already applied some of the principles of preventive medicine and been aware of the life force in plants. I was a good student as it was natural to me to hear about the cures of certain ailments through the use of essential oils as it was practiced already at home.
After over 40 years using Essential oils and practising Aromatherapy I have found so many solutions to the stressors of today. I refer in many chapters in my last book
‘The Secrets of Youth and Beauty’ giving tips and recipes.
The start of Spring time is the best time to be aware of nature and the changes which happen every day around us, just go to a park it is magic, look at trees, leaves, flowers, birds such an activity.
So start to look after yourself and change your regime.
So what is ageing?: it is losing the appearance of youth, it comes with a great fear, look at magazines , newspapers the media covers those issues weeks by weeks, The number of Anti-Ageing beauty products have increased years by years, I know it sales magazines and bring scar into many of us to stay and keep young.
My book which has been published only few months ago has been so helpful to so many of you. Thank you for all your emails and letters, they all have demonstrated the great interest you all have manifested into the subject of keeping youthful, healthy as long as possible.
I know also the difficulty for most of you to find the right essential oil to make your remedy. After so many demands I have made the decision to sale on line the essential oils most needed. I know that you have been waiting for the Organic range of essential oils patiently. It has been at last agreed by the soil association and bearing their logo. That is why it took so long. It had taken a while also to source the organic ingredients which I wanted you to have to make your own recipes after the frustrating time searching for the right ones.
Here they are. I have made three categories of pack which you can see on the website, so now you will be able to change your beauty routine, save money and enjoy making your own range being aware of what you need. You will be also contributing to save the planet by not using Petrochemicals, Parabens, Chemical emulsifier, Synthetic fragrances, colourings, additives, mineral oils and so on and no outer packaging.
Just remember to respect proportions and use the right base oil.
Best wishes
