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
