What Is Aromatherapy and What Health Challenges Can It Assist?

Aromatherapy entails using essential oils, also known as the lifeblood of nature's oldest inhabitants, flowers, plants, fruits. The oils are extracted through distillation and their healing properties are then used in a gentle and safe manner to assist your health concerns. The essential oils have certain qualities such as antibacterial, anti-fungal, antiseptic, antibiotic, antidepressant, and/or many other qualities that assist your holistic (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual) health. A trained person can work with these qualities to educate you on how to use these essential oils for your own personal benefit. When inhaled and/or placed on the skin, there is an effect within the body. There are different ways of using essential oils: as a massage oil or cream, air spray, mouthwash, in a douche and more. A massage oil or cream is the method I find most efficient and my clients have found most effective. With a massage oil or cream, essential oils are combined with a carrier oil, such as olive, canola, and almond or in an unscented cream. I educate you in the appropriate essential oils to use and how to use them.

Is It Really Medicine?

November E-Newsletter

Dear Friend,

Thank you for reading the first of several upcoming e-newsletters within the month of November.

While watching a commercial promoting a medication for a skin disease, I was prompted to revisit the concept of medicine. The commercial was visually attractive in its presentation, the ‘subject’ was surrounded by nature and loved ones, and she appeared happy in her mood as the list of potential side effects scrolled along the side of the tv screen. Cancer, respiratory failure, liver problems were some of the potential diseases you could experience if you take this medication.

I thought - If it has 'side effects' warnings of possible harm if use, is it really medicine? Medicine is defined as "the science or practice of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease". Also - "the science and art of healing. It encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness". If medicine is defined as the above, then would it cause potential harm in the healing process?

I chose the natural/holistic health field as a career because of the love and appreciation I experience when doing this work and being in service to others. I am committed to providing information and education on this approach to health to assist you and your family's health, wellness, and holistic healing journey. The health modalities that my practice offers comes with no warnings, just 'common sense' awareness like 'keep aromatherapy blend away from eyes', and in the event that should happen - washing the eyes will address it.

Still, whether choosing my practice or another's as your health care provider, I encourage you to be educated consumers. Research, ask questions, find out exactly what you are choosing as your medicine. An educated consumer is a conscious, responsible participant in his/her life and soul journey.

Yours in holistic health,
Nicole A. Tucker, Lic. LCC

Your Holistic Child: Back To School Guide

Your Holistic Child: Back To School Guide

~ When packing lunch, consider the appropriate food grouping for proper digestion and strengthening of the entire body (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual). Protein + Green Vegetables = Yes, Starch + Green Vegetables = Yes. Protein + Starch = No, Green Vegetables + Fruit = No.

~ If your child experiences a lack of appetite, add a piece of grapefruit to her lunch bag/box to eat or inhale the aroma. Essential oil of grapefruit provides appetite stimulant support.

~ Send her to school with her own essential oil (Aromatherapy) hand sanitizer. Containing all natural anti-bacterial, anti-toxic, and antiviral properties, she will like the aroma and the way it feels on her hands.

~ Gently encourage communication about your child's day at school. Find out who her friends are, if there are any challenges with other students and teachers, and so on. Start this process at an early age to increase your child's belief system about healthy self-expression, and communication.

~ Introduce and maintain a holistic lifestyle for your child. This approach to wellness, first, supports healthy living values and commitments for your child, as well as, minimizes sick days from school.

*this newsletter information also applies to home schooling environments.

Make holistic living fun and empowering for your children

Holistic living means to actively and consciously participate and create life choices that support your healthiest physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual (belief system) health. Encouraging this option of living for children helps them to be healthy and grow into adults who consciously choose natural and safe resources to support their best health.

Holistic living options for your child(ren) can include:
- Send them to school with their own essential oil (Aromatherapy) hand sanitizer. Containing all natural anti-bacterial, anti-toxic, and antiviral properties, they will like the aroma and the way it feels on their hands.

- Schedule time together to clean toys. Get a bucket and mix water, clear vinegar, and essential oils of lemon, tea tree, and pine - a gentle, safe cleanser, while your child has fun playing in the solution and being responsible for the care of his toys.

- Camouflage spinach or other green leafy vegetables in cacao, dark chocolate, or carob smoothies (make sure that your child has no sensitivity to these options). Fruit smoothies work well too - s(he) may find the green color interesting and fun! Use a juicer. If your child is transitioning from drinking store/fast food bought beverages, save the container. When you make the smoothie, add it to the container, until he is comfortable with the full transition.

- Give him or her the opportunity to play in dirt, or better yet soil. Encourage your child to assist you to plant and pick herbs that you can use to cook with.
