Essential oils are the fragrant oils that are present in every plant. Each one is very distinct and potent. The oils are so powerful that they can be an effective healer and trigger the brain to heal the body. They are sold in their natural form as well as diluted forms. Essential oils should only be used in their natural state in order to get the most benefit from the flower essence.
The uses for essential oils can be vast. They are widely utilized in the healing practices of natural medicine. Aromatherapy is a widely utilized technique that is often combined with other all natural therapeutic methods. The uses for essential oils include:
• In bathwater
• Diffusers
• Vaporizers
• Topically: in lotions, shampoos, conditioners, etc.
• And as simple, all natural air fresheners
Now, we know what essential oils are and some uses for essential oils, but can they be used in homeopathy? That really depends on what homeopathic expert you ask. Some are very strict and insist that uses for essential oils should not have a place in homeopathic remedies. Other expert homeopaths suggest that the uses for essential oils can prove to be a highly beneficial aspect to some remedies.
There are some views that are shared in homeopathy. For instance, there are some essential oils that will stop some homeopathic remedies from working at all. They act as an “antidote” to homeopathy. Some of the oils are peppermint, tea tree and eucalyptus. These all suppress any positive results of a homeopathic treatment.
Most homeopaths would agree that aromatherapy and homeopathy can be used together in the healing process. Of course, when doing this it is important to get expert advice so a person does not end up inadvertently taking away all of the healing potential from the homeopathic remedy. The bottom line is that the use of essential oils can either compliment or eliminate the results of this specific natural treatment method.
