Color Therapy Part I

Aug 31st, 2009 | By Dee | Category: Color, Crystal Therapy

by Helen Graham

The effects of color on life must have been of great significance to early human beings, whose very existence was governed by light and darkness. Most living things appear to be vitalized by the bright reds, oranges, and yellows of daylight and calmed and rejuvenated by the blues, indigos, and violets of the night. For the ancients, the colors that make up sunlight were each considered to show a different aspect of the divine and to influence different qualities of life. Color is therefore an important feature in the symbolism of ancient cultures throughout the world, and the origins of Healing With Color in Western civilization can be traced back to the mythology of Ancient Egypt and Greece.

IN THE ANCIENT WORLD

According to Ancient Egyptian mythology, the art of Healing With Color was founded by the god Thoth. He was known to the Ancient Greeks as Hermes Trismegistus, literally Hermes thrice-greatest, because he was also credited with various works on mysticism and magic. Teachings attributed to him include the use of color in healing. In the Hermetic tradition, the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks used colored Minerals, stones, Crystals, salves, and dyes as remedies, and painted treatment sanctuaries in various shades of color.

Making Bath and Massage Oils

Aug 29th, 2009 | By Dee | Category: Aromatherapy

Bath and massage oils are made by adding Essential Oils to vegetable Carrier Oil bases. The ratio is one teaspoon of Essential Oil to 4 ounces of Carrier Oil. Use amber or cobalt Blue glass for your oils and keep out of direct light. Do not store in plastic bottles. It is best not to store in the bathroom because of the heat during showers.

Bath Oils

Using Essential Oils in the bath is one of the nicest ways to enjoy their therapeutic benefits. Adding them to a Carrier Oil help to disperse the Essential Oils throughout the water and onto to your body. Lighter oils disperse more readily in the water. To use bath oils, draw your bath first, close the door and then add about two teaspoons of bath oil to your water.

Heavier oils lie on the top of the bath water and will cling to your skin when leaving the bath.

Light oils suitable for bath oils that readily disperse include Sunflower oil and Grapeseed oil.

Marjoram

Aug 21st, 2009 | By Dee | Category: Herbs for Health

Marjoram is the dried leaves from an herbal plant called the Origanium hortensis. The name Marjoram is a Greek word that means “Joy of the Mountain.” Ancient Greeks believed that if Marjoram grew on a grave that person would enjoy eternal happiness. The taste of Marjoram is a bit sweeter than that of Oregano. Many people believe that Marjoram is, in part, a species of Oregano. Marjoram is a pretty user friendly herb that is used quite traditionally in Italian, French, North African, Middle Eastern, and American cuisine. Marjoram compliments quite nicely sausages, various meats, fish, tomato sauces, salad dressings, breads, stuffing’s, and salads.

Marjoram is a relative to the mint family. You get the most flavors from Marjoram if you use the fresh leaves rather than fried marjoram. One big difference between Oregano and Marjoram is while Oregano tends to prosper in taste the longer it simmers in a sauce or stew, marjoram is the opposite and should be added into the dish as late as possible. Although Marjoram is sweet and mild, it is also at the same time minty and has a hint of citrus. The biggest Marjoram exported in Egypt. Marjoram blends very well with Bay Leaves, pepper, and Juniper. While all vegetables can benefit from a hint of Marjoram, it seems to work best on adding and enhancing the flavor of cabbage and legumes.

Aug 13th, 2009 | By Dee | Category: Herbs for Health

Golden Seal is a perennial herb that is part of the Buttercup family. Golden Seal is used for a lot of medicinal purposes in a variety of ways both topically as well as internally. There are actually quite a few ways to purchase Golden Seal, in a bulk powder, salve, tincture, or a tablet. Internally it is a great digestion aid and if gargled with it has been known to remove canker sores.

Golden Seal has been around since times of the European conquest of America but has remained very strong because even today it is used for anti-catarrhal, anti inflammatory, antiseptic, astringent, bitter tonic, laxative, and muscular stimulants. Herbalists say that if you are trying to ease gastritis, colitis, duodenal ulcers, loss of appetite, and liver disease, Golden Seal is what you might want to look into which is available at all herbal supplement stores. Golden Seal is very bitter so it stimulates bile secretions, stimulates the appetite, and aids in digestion.

Ten Natural Healing Properties of Lavender

Aug 8th, 2009 | By Dee | Category: Aromatherapy

Lavender is a beautiful purplish herb that inspires a feeling of calm. Just smelling it can put you into a more peaceful state. But, lavender is more than a pretty flower. This herb has natural healing properties that people have been using for centuries.

Lavender is a component of compounds used for herbal and alternative medicine and aromatherapy. Its sweet essence has made its way into shampoos, oils, and lotions. However, that is not the best way to get its healing benefits. It is best used in tinctures, as an essential oil, in teas, salves and other preparations. Here are ten facts about the natural healing properties of lavender:

1. Lavender oil has antiseptic properties. The oil of lavender is extracted from the actual flower and not the leaves or seeds. It is good for cleaning scrapes and cuts that may contain foreign material. Use lavender oil to clean surfaces in your home to lower your bacterial count.

2. Linalol is an active substance in lavender that heals sores, burns and other wounds. Pain and inflammation are reduced at the site of pain.

Men Have Special Issues That Natural Remedies Can Relieve

Jul 2nd, 2009 | By Dee | Category: Men's Health

There are natural remedies that can help males deal with issues that they have including acne, arthritis, hemorrhoids, managing cholesterol, and quitting smoking.

Acne can occur in both males and females. It is an inflammatory disorder of the sebaceous glands. These glands are the oil glands. They increase during puberty and secrete more sebum then they normally do. The excess sebum becomes trapped under the skin. The gland breaks, spilling sebum, and irritating the skin. The sebum that irritates the skin is what causes pimples to form. Acne can occur on the male’s face, back, neck and chest.

Acne can be successfully treated with natural remedies such as using colloidal silver either orally or applied directly on the affected skin area. You can also use garlic capsules to boost your immune system and kill the bacteria that are often found with acne. You should drink a lot of water to help clear the waste products from your body. It is important to eat foods that are high in fiber to keep your colon clean. Eat shellfish, soybeans, sunflower seeds, and nuts because they are rich in zinc and zinc is a natural antibacterial which helps combat the bacteria associated with acne.
