Energy aromatherapy: rebalancing your energy flows with essential oils
Energy aromatherapy is a therapeutic discipline aimed at restoring the energy flows that connect the body, mind and emotions through essential oils . This alternative therapy is based on the energy theories present in many ancient medicines and beliefs, including Ayurveda and Chinese medicine .
This holistic approach considers essential oils as energy regulators that can act on the psycho-emotional sphere of individuals. It shares and complements other parallel practices such as olfactotherapy or energetic space purification rituals .
What is energetic aromatherapy?
Just like scientific aromatherapy , energetic aromatherapy uses essential oils to treat symptoms. While in the first case these are more nervous, epidermal or functional, in the second case they are psychological , emotional or spiritual .
Energy aromatherapy is based on the theory of bodily energy flows . It aims to influence the energy intersections called chakras in traditional Indian medicine. This shares many similarities with the theory of vital energy (QI) in Chinese medicine.
In the latter, the body is composed of 12 main meridians and 8 secondary ones, energy channels that carry vital energy. The obstruction of one of these meridians causes physical and emotional disorders . Acupuncture is then used to stimulate specific points along these meridians. It is sometimes reinforced by moxibustion , the burning of dried plants on the body.
Digital acupressure , also called digitopression or acupressure, is based on the same principles, but does not use needles. In this sense, it is similar to reflexology . All these disciplines also incorporate the use of essential oils to reinforce the stimulation of these energy points .
In energy aromatherapy , essential oils are considered the soul of plants and are endowed with specific energetic properties . Therefore, certain plants will be used for their specific virtues on a chakra or a meridian.
The different fields of action of energetic plants and essential oils
Essential oils are obtained from the distillation of aromatic plants . They can be inhaled dry or wet, used in massage on the skin, orally or in baths and in cosmetics. However, they must be handled with caution and should always be subject to medical supervision in case of doubt or serious illness.
Energizing essential oils, on the other hand, are essential oils specifically recognized for their energetic benefits. Examples include sandalwood, patchouli, cinnamon, myrrh, and sage.
Scientific aromatherapy
From a strictly scientific and medical point of view, the healing properties of essential oils are explained by their chemical composition . The origin of the plant, its growing conditions, the extraction method and the part of the plant used all influence this chemical composition. While there are many of these, we can nevertheless cite some large groups:
- monoterpenes;
- sesquiterpenes;
- monoterpenoids;
- sesquiterpenoids;
- phenols;
- aldehydes;
- ketones;
- esters;
- oxides.
Their therapeutic properties are varied: antifungal, antibacterial, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, relaxing... These extracts are also used in the composition of pharmaceutical drugs.
Traditional aromatherapy mainly uses essential oils through inhalation, skin or hair application, massage and oral administration.
Olfactotherapy
Olfactotherapy uses essential oils to stimulate the limbic system, which is involved in emotion management , hormone production, and the nervous system. These are olfactory exercises designed to access the unconscious to deconstruct certain emotional or psychological blockages .
Olfactotherapy is regularly used in energy therapies, sophrology, osteopathy and naturopathy.
Energy aromatherapy
In energy aromatherapy , essential oils are used for breathing or massage on energy points . Energy aromatherapy takes into account the vibrational energy of essential oils. In this discipline, the essence of plants influences energy circulation and the auric body , also called the etheric body .
Energy aromatherapy shares common values with yoga and meditation . Candles, incense, and the diffusion of essential oils are used during sessions to help achieve a heightened state of consciousness .
Energy phytotherapy
Parallel to energy aromatherapy , energy phytotherapy is a therapy initiated in particular by the studies of Doctor Bach. In this discipline, the energies of plants are captured in floral elixirs (Bach flowers) obtained following a methodical process. This is what is called floritherapy .
Energy phytotherapy uses traditional maceration of different plants to create a synergy intended to regulate an organ or function.
The place of energy aromatherapy in energy therapies
Energy aromatherapy focuses on the subject's vital flows to regulate, correct, and unblock vital energy circulation channels. Its action therefore focuses on the individual and not on the space around them. However, traditional Eastern culture considers the circulation of flows as a whole that takes into account the vibration of the elements. This is the case, for example, of feng shui , which recommends good practices for the arrangement and maintenance of living spaces to harmonize their energy currents.
Energy cleansing of the house not only allows you to chase away bad vibes , but also to protect yourself from external influences. These purification rituals allow you to establish a harmonious relationship with your environment to promote inner well-being and psycho-emotional balance .
