In the world of therapeutic aromatherapy, there are three modalities of using essential oils: Topical application, ingestion and inhalation. Sometimes inhalation gets dismissed as not real medicine, but this just isn’t the case. Essential oils still get into your bloodstream if you inhale them (thereby helping oxygenate your blood, as many proponents will attest to) and providing a host of other therapeutic effects. But which diffuser is best? There are so many types available, in a wide range of prices. Which one is best really depends on your goal: to simply enjoy the aromatic pleasures of fine essential oils, or go all the way and get every last health-supportive effect you can from aromatherapy. We’ll look at them all here: warming, fan, nebulizing, and ultrasonic nebulizing.

It’s that time of year again, when the little winged biting creatures make themselves known. Silent or with a buzz, we’re all familiar with the bugs of Summer. With the growing concern of un-natural chemicals being applied to our skin, with the knowledge that the skin absorbs everything that’s put on it, many people are looking to natural alternatives to the common chemicals we find at the hardware and grocery store. Parents in particular are, rightly, concerned for the health of their youngest ones, whose developing physiology is more readily affected by these chemicals. The truth is that DEET is a highly questionable chemical, with many possible dangerous side effects, none of which are worth taking the chance with. Here we’ll look at the ingredients to make both your own healthy topical repellent, and what you can use to repel insects from the space around you.

Many people these days are suffering from hemorrhoids, or piles. This is a particularly frustrating condition. There is a lot of misinformation, because people generally aren’t too comfortable talking about hemorrhoids. Because of this, many people suffer too much, for too long when they really don’t need to.

While acceptance by the mainstream of conventional medicine may be a ways off, essential oils used in aromatherapy are proving themselves to be potential potent allies in the treatment of cancer. The alternative medicine called ‘aromatherapy’ might actually suffer from a misunderstanding of its name — aromatherapy, often confused with the use of a Glad Plug In Air Freshener, is actually an entire branch of medicine with specific treatment protocols for a wide variety of illnesses. This practice is slowly gaining credibility with patients (perhaps more slowly with doctors) partaking in the conventional medical system of the United States. Their healing power, like that of most natural therapies, can not only transform difficult disease states, but can have a long-term positive effect on one’s overall wellness. They are readily available, inexpensive, and just happen to smell nice — but there’s a whole lot more to them than that…
