Plants have always been a part of my life; my family was vegetarian as I was growing up; we used beans as our source of protein, foraged for salad contents, and planted a huge vegetable garden each spring. My mother's Back to Eden and Grey’s Anatomy are still on my bookshelf. There have been times when my love of plants has taken a back seat to the needs of a busy modern life, but I have always maintained the use of plants. While spending time in front of my aromatherapy and herb bookcases contemplating the topic for this paper, the fact that the bookshelf contains books published or republished over the past hundred years (demonstrating my inability to let a book on plants go unread), I asked myself how I have been able to maintain this interest that at one point, while we foraged as a child, I considered it the pastime only of economically challenged individuals. Certainly, one of those reasons is the ability of plants to affect humans on multiple levels.
Essential oils have many benefits, one of which is that they do not appear to lose their effect with repeated applications. They can have a direct impact on our mood and mind, fight infection, stimulate metabolic processes, improve digestion, enhance energy production, and increase circulation.
Energetic imbalances in the bodies can be caused by a vibrational assault of a lower frequency from which the healthy body normally vibrates. A variety of things, such as mental, emotional, and physical trauma or environmental disharmonies, such as pollution and urban living, can cause these assaults. The imbalances can flow from the higher bodies into the lower bodies and finally settle within the physical body if not stabilized.
Some essential oils are considered sacred and vibrate at high frequency. They seek to correct imbalances on all levels of the body's healing system by stabilizing the psychosocial and spiritually energetic bodies, the highest planes of consciousness. Frankincense (Boswellia carterii), myrrh (Commiphora myrrha), sandalwood (Santalum album), and spikenard (Nardostachys jatamansi) are four examples. These oils' effects are spiritual elevation and quieting of the mind in preparation for meditation.
