Love is the moving force of the Universe. And we have chosen Feb. 14th as a special Day to celebrate the Heart Response to Love. There are many ways in which we can do this. I always love to make raw chocolates and gift them to those that I love. Flowers are another way that we can show that special person we love them. You can purchase a bouquet already made or you can make your own arrangement and find a card that perfectly fits him or her. Make sure you add a drop of your favorite essential oil to the card to scent it with your fragrance. I love the aroma of Ylang Ylang. Rose is also perfect, or Jasmine, Lavender or Sensation Essential Oil blend from Young Living. You know that essential oils have been around since ancient times.
The Romans used essential oils by diffusing them in their temples and political buildings. They were fond of soaking in oil-scented baths, then receiving a fragrant oil massage. Hippocrates in 200 BC used oils in Athens to fumigate the city.
The Egyptians used essential oils as methods of Purification and embalming.
Aromatics, as they were called, were some of the most prized treasures of the ancient world - they were traded for gold, silver, and even slaves.
To understand how valuable essential oils were in ancient Egypt, records show that when Tutankhamen's tomb was opened in 1922, 350 liters of oil were discovered in alabaster jars. Amazingly, the plant waxes had solidified around the openings of the jars, sealing and preserving the oils!
The physicians of Greece came to Egypt to learn about the oils. Even Hippocrates attended the school of Cas.
So essential oils have a long standing history and today they are even more recognized as natural alternatives to the chemical laden products that have come out of the 50's and 60's.
Take this opportunity to explore and discover ways that you can bring natural healing modalities and life giving products free of chemicals that can burden your immune system. Click Here to find out how you can do this
