AROMATHERAPY

The term "aromatherapie" was coined by Rene Maurice Gattefosse in 1928. He utilized the word to imply the therapeutic use of aromatic substances (essential oils). Since the beginning of Aromatherapy, the practice has encompassed human pathology and the treatment of different conditions (emotional and physical) with essential oils. As Aromatherapy has developed into a practice it has adopted an holistic approach which encompasses the body, the mind and the spirit (energy).

As an holistic therapy Aromatherapy is able to work on several levels of the individuals well being.

Aromatherapy is derived from the ancient practice of using natural plant essences to promote health and wellbeing. It consists of the use of pure essential oils obtained from a wide assortment of plants, which have been steam distilled or cold-pressed from flowers, fruit, bark and roots.

"Aromatherapy is... the skilled and controlled use of essential oils for physical and emotional health and well being." Valerie Cooksley


Aromatherapy can help ease a wide assortment of ailments; easing aches, pains, and injuries, while relieving the discomforts of many health problems.

Aromatherapy also acts on the central nervous system, relieving depression and anxiety, reducing stress, relaxing, uplifting, sedating or stimulating, restoring both physical and emotional wellbeing.


The appropriate oils can have powerful results, both on the body and the spirit.

"Aromatherapy conveys the concept of healing with aromatic substances." Robert Tisserand

 "Aromatherapy is a caring, hands-on therapy which seeks to induce relaxation, to increase energy, to reduce the effects of stress and to restore lost balance to mind, body and soul." Robert Tisserand

 "Aromatherapy can be defined as the controlled use of essential oils to maintain and promote physical, psychological, and spiritual wellbeing." Gabriel Mojay

FLOWER REMEDIES

The healing properties of flower essences can be explained in terms of a philosophy of life which recognises a human being as much more than a physical body. Illness is the inner voice warning us to change our mental state or way of life, or preferably both. Flower Essences were developed to enable us to effect those changes in a gentle and non-invasive, yet powerful, way.

Flower essences work on a vibrational rather than a biochemical level; they do not need to be absorbed into the bloodstream or go through the digestive system to take effect. They are completely safe to use: nontoxic and without contra-indications, side effects, or the possibility of overdosing. Their benefits are complementary to other herbal therapies and treatment. Please note, however, that flower essences do not directly treat physical symptoms.

Through the vibratory rate of the blossoms from which they are prepared, flower essences interact with our willingness and commitment to change. Willingness plus commitment equal energy, the active ingredient in flower essence therapy.

Flower essences activate our life force, the true source of well-being. They act as catalysts, or pump-primers. For this reason we may take credit for the changes we co-create through taking the essences.

"Let us find the one thing in life that attracts us most and do it. Let that one thing be so part of us that it is as natural as breathing; as natural as it is for the bee to collect honey, and the tree to shed its old leaves in autumn and bring forth new ones in the spring. If we study nature we find that every creature, bird, tree and flower has its definite part to play, its own definite and peculiar work through which it aids and enriches the entire Universe". Edward Bach

HERBALISM

Herbal medicine, sometimes referred to as Herbalism, Botanical medicine or Herbology, is the use of plants, in a wide variety of forms, for their therapeutic value. Herb plants produce and contain a variety of chemical compounds that act upon the body and are used to prevent or treat disease or promote health and well-being.

Many of the pharmaceutical drugs we use in this day and age are derived from herbs. However, these drugs are based on what are considered to be the plant's 'active' ingredients (e.g. certain chemicals that have been isolated from the original plant), whereas herbalism utilises the whole plant, or at the very least the seed, root or flower.


It is believed that these so-called 'inactive' ingredients play a significant role in determining the herbs overall therapeutic effect. It is also felt that although some herbs do have side effects, those caused by herbal preparations are far less severe than the reactions experienced when taking pharmaceutical drugs.


Herbalism, like all forms of complementary medicine, treats the person as a whole, believing that the body has its own "vital force" (an ability to heal itself). Herbs help support this system, enabling it to restore balance (homeostasis) in the body.

Remedies are produced by either taking the whole plant, or just the part of the plant required, and often mixing it with other plants. They are usually boiled in water or alcohol, and made into: herbal teas; herbal decoctions; herbal syrup; herbal tincture; infused oils; salves & ointment/creams.

Integrative Psychotherapy & Counselling

Aisha Ali's approach is integrative attending to the whole persons’ perceptions, thoughts, feelings and physical experience.

Change is an inevitable part of life and cannot be controlled. The tendency to hold onto the familiar is to resist change and remain stuck at a threshold. This is the source of much pain, dis-ease and distress that people experience in life. Suffering is the product of holding onto anything, which no longer serves us.
