Hi Steve,

 

Yes, i've heard of this integration you speak of. I'm also scheduled

to attend two hospitals as part of my clinical practice in Beijing

next month.

 

Perhaps you could explain what the situation is like in mainland

China, as quite a few members are students expecting to go to China

for training. Is there also a real scare amongst TCM students in

China that TCM may disappear as you said?

Hi Tiffany! Great to have you aboard You folks are in Austin, TX -

correct? One of these days I'm going to get over that way to visit

Carrie Boyles over at Scent Garden and Margie at Hill Country Haiku.

I'll have to swing by to see you folks too. Maybe I'll just have to

I've got some recipes for stuff like sugar wax, but its used like any

Congratulations mama! I've carried two, at different times, and by 34

weeks I was actually looking forward to labor (and its not like labor is

something one thinks about looking forward to usually). I can only

imagine what it'd be like having two in there at the same time. You must

be ready to go *lol*

You're totally right! I'll keep my eyes out for that one!

Welcome to the list Linda!

 

Another Texan Glad to have you aboard. Make yourself comfortable and

at home!

 

I'm glad to read that you gave yourself a chance to relax a bit and it

benefited you in a noticeable way. Relaxation is an important thing! I

myself am trying to figure out ways to fit it into my routine. I've

lived in my new house for 4 months now and fir the FIRST time since I've

been here I finally got to use my Jacuzzi bathtub over the weekend. I

made a nice aromatherapy bath, and while I was in there, with everything

submerged under the water except my nose, I realized just how much I

need to do that more often, and how detrimental it is to not relax

enough (or hardly at all, in my case). No matter how busy we are, we

have to make SOME time, at least a few times a week to give the body,

mind and soul a recharge!

 

I hope you like it here!

Introduction

 

 

My name is Linda and I'm very new to the idea of essential oils.

I've dabbled in some homemade lotion and probably have enough shea

butter and cocoa butter sitting on my shelves to keep any new

entrepreneur happy. However, it still lines my shelves, unused,

which tells me that my interest and time has veered off the initial

path quite a few times.

I've been suffering from neck and upper back pain since November last

year and seeing a Chiropractor about two to three times a week. They

keep telling me it's my muscles that are giving me my pain as they

are tense and I just need to learn to relax. This has led me to your

door and the new idea of essential oils and their uses. Now this is

a very new thing for me, but for the last week, I've been

experimenting with Lavender and Rosemary. Wow! I cancelled my

Monday appointment with the Chiropractor and have actually been an

active individual for the last week. I've seen quite an improvement

in the pain management end of it. I've always been an active person

and find it hard to just sit around and let this thing get the best

of me. I know I've got alot to learn and hope to be able to gather a

lot of information from those that have been benefiting from all the

great results of the EO's. Thank you for allowing me into your

group.

Introduction

 

 

Hi Everyone

 

I've just joined and wanted to introduce myself. I live on the far

south

coast of the east coast of Australia in a little place called Brogo with

a

little over 350 residents.

 

I've been making CP castile soap for a little over six years. My

partner

and I run a business from our home, on a little over five acres. We

have a

mudbrick house and our claim is that we are Australia's first solar

powered

soapmaking facility.

 

Gradually my interest has spread to all things herbal, and the use of

essential oils. I use essential oils in my soaps, mainly for the

aromas.

Whether they add therapeutic benefits or not, we can't make any claims

about

using essential oils in Australia without rather expensive and time

consuming procedures, and a mountain of paperwork!

 

I recognise quite a few of the members names here already and I look

forward

to taking part in the discussions and broadening my knowledge in this

area.

This list was recommended to me by Virginia and I can already see that

it

has a nice balance of discussion topics.

 

Lastly, I'm glad to see that Kathleen continues to post her famous jokes

here. Kathleen, yours are some of the best I've seen and one in

particular,

is my most favourite ever:-)))

Hi Anne. My MIL is from France, and she is going to be taking my 15 yr old

son to Paris, Epernay, Bar le Duc, and the S of France for 10 days this summer.

She did this 3 yrs ago with my 17 yr old also. Wish she would take me, but she

never will. My daughter that is 7 is counting down the yrs until she is 14 so

it can be her turn, LOL.

Anyways welcome.

Hey Anne, Welcome to the list. That little detail shouldn't be a problem for

anyone, this is a very international list. :-)

 

As for that " certain EO company " , Glad you were sceptical. I wish more people

would actually think about things before they dove in with their heart

leaving their brain behind them... but this is one subject that I try to avoid

as

much as possible... I'm a ranter and a raver and a foamer at the mouther on this

I'm glad you decided to " out " yourself. There is indeed plenty of room on the

Start having unbirthdays and deducting years until you're 14 again.

When your MIL asks why tell her you're trying to get to 14 so it'll be your

Good one Bill, the only thing is I am afraid she would be dead before I

reached 14.. I could give it a shot in a couple of weeks, instead of turning 36,

I

could be 34? Do you think it will work?

my doctor (who really did a great job to this point) has absolutely

nothing to offer to optimize the long-term healing process. At 6-8

weeks you're pronounced " healed " and " ready to go back to

their mouths you hear that healing will take the better part of the

next 11 months or so. I know that even though I'm doing well, my

body is still going through a lot of changes and I've still got a

ways to go to truely get back to " normal " (if there is such a

And, I'm REALLY interested in cooking with essential oils. I've

tried a little bit-- I made some GREAT tuna salad with olive oil,

tarragon, oregano, basil, black pepper. And I've used some of the

same for bread dips and dressings. I'm really interested to hear

more ideas, recipes and experiences with this!

Hi, Sharon,

 

Thanks! I will try it. I'm almost 8 weeks post op now, " doing

great " but I'm told I will still be healing for the next 4 to 11

months-- and I believe it! So I'm really interested in things that

will optimise the long term, internal healing process.

Hi Catherine,

 

Were you using modalities related to Chinese medicine? What kind of

results were you seeing? Were you able to identify any recurring

pattern differentiations to the various eating disorders?

 

Rebecca

[Guest guest]

Hi Rebecca,

 

Yes, I was using principles of Chinese medicine. Mostly using acupuncture.

Very few herbs because the women were taking so many meds and supplements.

 

I also used tuning forks and pulsed colored light instead of needles for

patients who were very needle-sensitive. I created kind of a sanctuary in my

treatment room. Using colored lights (I had theater lights and gels -- more

or less using Dinshah color therapy) and diffusing pure essential oils --

generally lavender, sometimes a blend, and playing music. I studied sound

healing with tuning forks with Fabien Maman, who is both a musician and an

acupuncturist and he has a CD he created using tuning forks and instruments

he created.

 

I also used cupping and guasha for back pain. And almost always used a TDP

lamp.

 

The patterns varied -- almost always a mix of excess (Liver usually,

sometimes Stomach, Heart) and vacuity (Kidney, Spleen). Always Spleen

vacuity, but not as a root problem. Usually as a result of the disordered

eating. And always shen disturbance.

 

Mostly I treated emotional stuff -- they almost all had histories of trauma:

physical, sexual or emotional. A lot of anger, anxiety, fear, depression.

 

Most frequent physical symptoms -- headaches, constipation, stomach pains,

menstrual pain or irregularity or amenorrhea, and back/shoulder tension.

 

I think Chinese medicine is very helpful for eating disorders, but it was

frustrating at Mirasol because the women received so many different

modalities I didn't get much feedback on my work with them. They had

frequent neurobiofeedback, polarity therapy, hypnosis, etc. As a whole

Mirasol has good results with ED but I think it's the synergy of everything

that does it, and I think it's pretty impossible to know what specific

modalities are most effective.

 

Are you working with eating disorders in your practice?

 

I'd be happy to answer any other questions.

 

Catherine
