The Health Garden - Aromatherapy & Health Bookstore

Discover the metaphysical and energetic healing properties of 40 single essential oils and how they can be used to manipulate qi, the body’s vital energy, to stimulate healing from negative emotional and mental states. Some forms of nervous tension, for example, are caused by stagnant qi energy, which can be released with essential oils. This book provides help for a wide range of common emotional and mental complaints including depression, low energy, lack of concentration, poor memory, anxiety, and low self-esteem. It also gives fantastic detail on the spiritual effects of each essential oil. Easy-to-reference charts and full-color illustrations teach simple aromatherapy massage and acupressure techniques that restore balance to the body and psyche.

Essential Oils can be very effective in helping to release emotional patterns - and this book shows you how. Studies at New York University have proven that the amygdala (the part of the brain which stores emotional trauma) does not respond to sound or sight or touch. It will only release emotional trauma through aromatic stimuli - through the sense of smell. In this book you will discover an "A to Z" of over 270 emotional issues (everything from Abandonment and Co-dependency, to Despair, Humiliation and Fear of Love). Each emotional issue is cross-referenced to the essential oil that can assist with transforming that emotion, and the acupressure "alarm point" on the body where the oil should be applied (diagrams clearly demonstrate how to find these points). This is empowered further by a chapter on muscle testing (kinesiology), which teaches you how to "speak" to your own body, confirming what it needs.

This in-depth text explores the spiritual and emotional blessings of 61 essential oils. Drawing understanding from Chinese Medicine, Reflexology and Craniosacral therapy, massage therapist Deborah Eidson shows how essential oils and Bach Flower Remedies can be used to identify and free up emotional blockages that underpin our health problems. She describes the effects of each oil on life transformations and healings, indicating how each oil impacts on energy blockages, relevant organs, and the chakras.

Linda Smith is the founder of the Healing Touch Spiritual Ministry Program and has taught over 300 workshops nationally and internationally.

Combining ancient and modern uses of essential oils with scriptural and scientific viewpoints, the use of healing oils and healing hands is explained.
She lists 18 aromatic oils mentioned in the Bible, along with their chemistry, scriptural references and modern uses, and discusses prayer psalms and essential oils to use for healing. With extensive scientific references, Linda teaches about our vibrational self and the subtle energy fields that affect our health and emotions. This is an excellent guide to spiritual uses of essential oils.

This book documents more than 500 scriptural references to thirty-three essential oils, their uses, and the plants from which they were derived in Biblical times.

The book concludes with complete instructions for a Bible Oils Program you can do in your local community.
