Q. What is Aromatherapy?

A. Aromatherapy is the use of plant derived essential oils to heal the body, mind and spirit.

Q. How much does our sense of smell define how we experience the world.

A.  Smell has essential importance in tasting food, feeling love, and experiencing friendship – more than we ever could realize.   Just think, a certain aroma can evoke vivid memories, and produce whole body sensations.

Q. Please discuss olfactation in greater depth.

A. To begin with our sense of smell works both slower and faster  than any of our other senses. Sight, hearing and touch produce instantaneous registration but the sense of smell may not. Olfactation may require a carrier such as a bypassing breeze, or a pocket of air enriched with an aroma or volatile molecules that can be read by our nasal-based odor receptors.  On the other hand s new signals detected by our eyes and our ears must first be assimilated by a complex structural system called the thalamus before reaching the brain’s interpretive regions, odiferous messages move quickly on dedicated pathways directly from the nose t into the brain’s olfactory cortex, where they are processed instantly.

Q.  Discuss the anatomy of the brain and the sense of smell.

A. Importantly, the olfactory cortex the center of the sense of smell within the brain is embedded within the brain’s limbic system and amygdala, where emotions are born and emotional memories stored. This is the reason why scents, emotional feelings and memories become so easily and intimately entangled and why a simple scent can bring long repressed or forgotten memories to the surface. 

The olfactory epithelium, the yellowish mass of mucous membrane located about three inches above our nostrils, contains about 20 million smell receptors each designed to isolate odor molecules delivered either directly through the nostrils as in when you smell ammonia or lavender oil or through the back of the mouth and upward giving specific foods meaning.

google_ad_region = ‘test’;

Q. Discuss the the connection between the sense of smell memory and the emotions?

A. Scientific research indicates that our memory for scents is long and resilient, much longer and more resilient than visual memories. Many of our earliest odor associations often remain with us when visual meories are forgotten.

This fact is important since it means that scents can be of value treating dementiadepression, and other emotional and memory conditions associated with ageing.

Q.  How can the sense of smell be used as a therapeutic tool?

A.  This is a complex question since there are so many techniques both in folk medicine, hydrotherapy and massage that use aromatic oils therapeutically. In the specific psychological approach known as “Inner Child Work” the sense of smell seems to be very valuable. There have been a number of studies where researchers offered three different sets of the same 20 memory cues — the cue as a word, as a picture and as a smell. These researchers found that while word and visual cues produced associations largely from the subjects’ adolescence and teen years adulthood, the cues related to the sense of smell  evoked thoughts of early childhood, under the age of 10. The researchers pointed out that it seemed that individuals describing these early childhood memories were much likelier to report the sudden sensation of being brought back in time and described the associated memories in exceptionally rich and emotional terms.

Q. Please explain what is meant by exceptionally rich and emotional terms?

A. When they smelled he spice, they were transported to a kitchen from their youth. The scent of tar brought back strong images of Tarring a roof or the bottom of a boat with dad or a friend.

Q. Is there an explanation for why the sense of smell is more profound in bringing back early childhood memories?

A. There is no definitive answer for this but the answer might be found in the fact that first of our senses to mature is olfactation. It is later that vision, words, and touch develop.  The cortical link between the sense of small (olfaction) may be the a key  to why early sensations keep their form all lifelong.

To explore these ideas in greater depth see a Conversation on Inner Child Work

Q. How influential is out sense of smell to our sense of taste?

A. Very Here is an exercise you can experiment with to understand how the sense of smell works and how it connects to taste.

Get a bag of assorted multiflavored jelly beans
Sample each of the flavors in the bag systematically. It is important here  to distinguish the flavor of one from another.
Now pinch your nostrils shut and repeat the exercise again.
You should notice that the distinct flavors of each type of jelly bean has disappeared. Every bean will still taste sweet, but there no distinction between one bean or another. It is as if without color they would be the same. It is you sense of smell that actually gave you the distinction.

As you can see by this exercise much of what we know as taste is actually more smell.

As a person who has come across many cancer patients, I constantly ask myself, can cancer be healed? How much time will the treatment take before you see results? How efficient are those treatments and how do they manage to use these medicines to heal many cancer patients. You might have the same concerns in mind.

I have searched quite a few alternative cancer treatments and healing techniques, and I am happy to share the little information I have found from reading some articles and asking some cancer patients. This consists of alternative cancer treatments and how it has helped many cancer survivors.

Alternative cancer treatment is an alternative and supporting treatment for cancer that isn’t approved or validated by the government agencies who are accountable for the regulation of therapeutic products. These treatments use natural procedures such as diet, exercise, herbs and manual procedures. The reason many government agencies responsible for therapeutic products are against this type of treatment is mainly because they feel that these aren’t tested and supported with hard facts and evidences.

google_ad_channel = “7940249670, ” + AB_cat_channel + AB_unit_channel;
google_language = “en”;
google_ad_region = ‘test’;

Many cancer treatment centers today have different opinions in using alternative cancer treatments. A few of them believe that they must work based on science, meaning they’ll be using the newest formula, chemo, and medicines proven to heal many cancer patients. Some believe the treatments should not merely be based on what has been screened to be effective but something which is applicable and effective to the body makeup of the patient.

But the question at the moment is can it help? Did the percentage of people who have been healed by alternative cancer treatments grow higher than the preceding years? Let’s see…

Based on a web site concerning alternative cancer treatments, they say that every person has a cancer cell in the body. However, it is easily wiped out because of one person’s active and powerful immune system. A healthy body enables you to avoid these cancer cells. Alternative cancer treatments gently eliminate the cancer cells leaving no unwanted effects. While doing so, they enhance the immune system which is very important to avoid and totally kill the cancer cells.

There are over 500 natural treatments to remove cancer cells and these days many people have faith in them. The increase in people resorting to alternative cancer treatments is because it has been proven statistically that only 2-3% of cancer patients benefit from chemotherapy. We all know the negative effects of chemotherapy and more people are willing to risk undergoing alternative cancer treatments than subject themselves, and more importantly, their immune system to chemotherapy.

We have to keep in mind that our body has its distinctive and own method to heal itself. And this will require time, an alternative cancer treatment can get rid of the remaining cancer cells left over after chemotherapy.

Whichever treatment you imagine can heal you doesn’t make a difference, be it an alternative solution or traditional. Your healing begins when your body is ready. The challenge of cancer isn’t easy to overcome, but you’ll soon overcome it as long as you believe you can.

Homeopathy was discovered by a physician in Germany called Samuel Hahnemann at the end of the 18th Century.  It is known as the ‘law of similars’ or ‘like can be cured by like’. These remedies are often toxic (for example the herb belladonna) but they are diluted so much that often only miniscule amounts or sometimes nothing remain. Apparently the higher the dilution, the more effective they are!

It is a form of alternative medicine which has become popular over time and many people swear by its use. Fortunately there are many recognized homeopathic doctors and if you wish to look into this form of treatment if you have arthritis, it is best to visit with a doctor who specializes in homeopathy. This way the doctor can examine you and work out a treatment plan with you and then monitor your progress.

It is also important to know that homeopathic medicine (as with many ‘alternative’ therapies) is not evaluation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. If you go regularly to a doctor of your choice for your arthritis, it may be a good idea to ask him his opinion of seeking homeopathic remedies in your particular case.

There are many homeopathic remedies that could help with arthritis in its many forms, depending on which type of pain you experience.

For example, Calcarea Fluorica can be beneficial when the joints of the fingers have become enlarged or when joints crack when moving and a sharp pain is experienced. This remedy is also recommended when warmth provides relief and when changes in the weather can affect arthritis pain adversely.

Another remedy for arthritis is Sulphur. This can be used when joints are not only painful but are itchy with a burning feeling. Also when damp weather causes additional pain and any form of heat means even more soreness.

Arnica is a great remedy to mention. If you have sustained an injury and arthritis has been a result of this, then Arnica could help you. If your arthritis pain is such that you are fearful of being touched because of the increased pain this may cause, then Arnica could be the remedy of choice. Arnica is good for soreness and is a great remedy to keep in the bathroom cabinet even if anyone gets bruised.

As you can see, homeopathy can get very specific when it comes to symptoms. It could also be why it has enjoyed success. Many people swear by it and others think it is hocus pocus!

This article will explain some of the current popular therapies available that can substitute for the traditional method of visiting a medical doctor to be treated with either pharmaceutical prescription drugs or surgery. These “alternative” treatments can involve physical exercise and movement (yoga, dance therapy, Qi Qong, Tai Chi), manipulation of muscles, spine, or energy fields by a 3rd person (massage, chiropractic, Reiki), mental therapies (hypnotherapy, progressive relaxation), or ingestion of natural substances or preparations (herbs, vitamins, teas, botanicals, oils, microorganisms, minerals, homeopathic remedies, health foods).

Personal discipline goes hand-in-hand with maintaining good health – either the career discipline of the medical practitioner to learn to heal other people or the self-discipline of the patient to take care of his own health factors such as diet, exercise, and hygiene. In recent decades there has been an increased awareness that people should take more responsibility for their own health; there are things the doctors can do and things that they can’t do for a patient. The traditional medical doctor may not have the best approach: they see patients after the problem has come up; there is little opportunity to take preventative measures because the condition remains hidden until it starts causing bodily damage, discomfort, or pain.

Preventing a condition from developing in the first place is one of the aims of alternative medicine. There is wider acceptance today that energy is a major factor in health. Massage therapy helps to balance the body towards relaxation because it is known that stress has a negative effect on body tissue. When electromagnetic energy builds in a person’s system it creates a mini-laboratory complete with waste chemicals that have to be flushed out efficiently or else the system becomes clogged and inefficient.

When we speak of our nervous systems, circulatory systems, respiratory systems, digestive systems, et al., it may be assumed that they contribute to overall health or lack thereof. The word “system” comes from the Latin “systema” which was the word for Rome’s sewer, and developed to the English to mean those components or elements that share structure, behavior, and interconnectivity to a common purpose or function.

Massage therapydeals with the muscular system that allows us to move around and pump blood through the circulatory system. The muscular system is comprised of three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. They have focal points where motor neurons are attached; electrical impulse signals from the nervous system control the muscles. A person’s balance, coordination of limbs, etc. comes ultimately under the direction of the cerebellum of the brain. This can be demonstrated quickly by adding a fifth of vodka to the cerebellum in question…the balance will degenerate in relation to the amount of alcohol in the system.

Massage therapists follow many different schools of though regarding technique, but in general they will press, rub, and manipulate the soft tissue of the body. Massage can be used for rehabilitating sport injuries, easing pain, reducing stress, increasing relaxation, stimulating the body to get rid of waste cells, and eliminating depression. Being touched by another person can be therapeutic for those who suffer mental anguish from the human condition or their place in society; mental and physical factors intertwine constantly and so movement therapy such as Tai Chi ultimately calms the mind. Therapeutic massageand other “holistic” health treatments recognize that energy fields do indeed exist and that mind and body are one.

Diabetes is a disease which is caused due to reduced or insufficient secretion of the pancreas hormone known as the Insulin or due to increased blood sugar level in the body. The only way to control it is by performing the specific yoga for diabetes. It helps to reduce blood glucose level by making the muscles active in absorbing the excess glucose from the blood. Yoga also stimulates the pancreas for normal secretion of insulin thereby curing Diabetes.
Few poses of yoga for Diabetes:
1. Big Toe Pose- It is to touch your feet with your hand keeping your knees and legs straight. It helps in digestion and stimulates the blood circulation to all internal organs thereby liver and kidney damage is reduced.
2. Triangle pose- It is also a standing Yoga for Diabetics with your left hand touching the right feet and vice versa. It helps in improving digestion as well as the internal abdominal organs. This yoga is mainly for keeping the kidneys healthy.

3. Downward Facing Dog- Similar to all the above yoga, it also helps to improve your digestion and to calm the mind. It also helps to alleviate your blood pressure.
4. Hero pose- This yoga is to strengthen the pelvis, reduce blood pressure, improves digestion.
5. Western intense pose- this is to hold your abdomen and touch your feet keeping the lower back on the ground. Therefore it stimulates the pelvic muscles strength. It also improves problems like urinary incontinence and overactive bladder. Lastly it helps in the flow of blood to all the internal organs specially the liver and kidneys.
6. Half Lord of The Fishes- This is to twist your body to your side by keeping the lower part of the body straight. It stimulates the pancreas to secrete proper insulin and improves blood circulation. It also helps to reduce the blood pressure by reducing blood glucose level and keeps your body fit.
7. Fish pose- This is last yoga. It is for making your mind calm. It is a kind of arching by keeping your abdomen up with the help of your back.
8. Corpse pose- This is to lie down straight on the ground with body relaxed. This is to make your heart beat normal after a long yoga session.
Since Diabetes is a silent killer, a special care should be taken to control it. Besides the medicine a regular yoga for diabetes is recommended by most of the doctors. It has no side effects and cures you from the root of the disease. But you have to continue it all through out your life.
