About Kinarome
People often ask me, "Does Aromatherapy work?". I remind them that long before we had pharmaceuticals, we had plants.
In fact, many over-the-counter as well as prescription drugs available today are still derived from medicinal plants.
This point sometimes wins over those for whom a scientific seal-of-approval is necessary to separate the "real" medicine from the snake oil.
That effective healing has been achieved by the use of medicinal plants (and foods) by the world's peoples and animals for thousands of years should be sufficient, but, alas, it is not.
Among those who are "believers" in Aromatherapy are individuals who, through direct experience, saw their health issues resolved without turning to the conventional, western medical doctors and pharmaceutical drugs.
It is my conviction that the less we use chemical drugs the less toxic load we inflict on our bodies and on our planet.
Effective and safe natural medicine practiced at home also lessens the unnecessary burdens on hospitals and health care professionals.
When I discovered Aromatherapy 20 years ago I immediately understood that bringing sensory pleasure and potent healing together in one therapy was a unique and special treasure.
I have witnessed, experienced and facilitated hundreds of successful Aromatherapy treatments and yet I never cease to be amazed by the power and efficacy of essential oils.
Friends, family, students and clients are all delighted to find in Aromatherapy very simple solutions to basic health concerns.
Children in particular are intuitively drawn to smells and are often more descriptive of them than adults.
To realize that these wonderful aromas are also their medicine is perhaps the main reason Aromatherapy is the perfect modality to use with children.
My greatest influences along the way have been the enthusiastic, the scientific, the innovative and tireless teachers who seemed to share an innate commitment to the advancement and proliferation of Aromatherapy. My deepest gratitude is reserved for all the Aromatic plants, without whom our sense of smell would be greatly deprived.
