Fwd: Aromatherapy as Energy Medicine Introduction

[Guest guest]

Here is a link to a very interesting website on using aromatherapy with TCM.

 

>http://www.aromatherapy-studies.com/energymedicine-intro.html

 

The website advertises a course, but like all good websites there is some

interesting information scattered throughout it.

 

The course consists of 3 modules. Module 1 is Aromatic Energetics and the 5

Elements. Be sure to to the 5 elements page. I know next

to nothing about aromatherapy except that Bob Flaws in some of his books

says that AT has been used in TCM.

 

The author of this website and course says there are 9 main categories of

Essential Oils (EOs). They are woody, rooty, green-hebaceous, fruity,

floral, spicy, citrus, resinous, and pungent-camphoraceous. He gives the

example of species in the Eucalyptus genus. These tend to affect the Metal

Element according to the author. The Yin Metal Organ is the Lungs, and the

Yang Metal Organ is the Large Intestine. In particular species of the

Eucalyptus genus " invigorate Lung-Chi " , " open chest " , and " counteract

feelings of oppression, withdrawal, and melancholy. " (Lung Qi imbalance is

not the only possible Root of feelings of oppression, withdrawl, and

melancholy, but it is one of the possible Roots of these feelings. And,

people who are depressed do tend to breathe swallowly from the top of the

lungs.

 

Module 2 is Essential Oil Energetics and Oriental Diagnosis. It goes into

the energetic and psychological properties of some EOs.

 

The 3rd module is Aromatic Acupressure and Advanced Tongue Diagnosis. I

found some of the information in this section very interesting. It had

never occured to me when I'm using accupressure and massage to combine these

with EOs. This is something I definitely want to experiment cautiously

with.

 

The first module is being offered in Scotland, London, sites in the U.S.,

and sites in Australia. I only saw London for the other 2. I'm trying to

find out if the info covered in the courses is covered in a book.
