continuing to provide you, our enthusiastic readers, with an informative,
educational, and of course, entertaining read!
As always, we invite your feedback and
suggestions regarding both our site, and our newsletter topics. We thrive
on your recommendations, which bring a human side to what can at times
be an impersonal medium. As such, we try to incorporate as many of your
requests as possible, so please, keep them coming!
Since our initial launch in mid-2001,
A World of Aromatherapy has grown into the internet's most popular website
on this popular subject. This has been your accomplishment as much as
our own, and we thank you for your willingness to guide our hand.
This month's feature article, entitled
Aromatherapy Energetics - An Oriental Approach, is a wonderful study
of eastern medicine's perspective on the effects of this popular alternative
treatment. With a range of information on the use of specific oils for
particular conditions, the article by Gabriel Mojay has a little something
for everyone...
Our featured shop for January is our founding,
and sister site, A
World of Good Health. We invite you to browse their selection
of premium quality Chinese formulas, aromatherapy oils, lotions, and

Aromatherapy
- An Oriental Approach
by Gabriel
Mojay
Marguerite Maury was one of aromatherapy’s
foremost pioneers. She was a woman whose profound understanding of people
made her realize that the mysterious qualities of an individual are inseparable
from their unique ones. It is not
surprising, therefore, that she, too, turned to the East in search of
an intuitive and naturalistic way of comprehending the human spirit.
It may at first sight seems strange to
apply to aromatherapy (a therapeutic approach that seems so distinctly
European) the theories of an ancient medical tradition that originated
in China. That is, until we reflect that vital energy, whether we we
call it Qi or Dynameis, is as universal to humanity as are aromatic plants
to the planet...

| Recipe of the Month: |
|
Ashli writes:
"When I finish
showering and turn off the water, I put about 8 drops of black spruce
oil in my hands and rub it all over, especially on my neck and back.
I let it stay on for about a minute, breathing the aroma, letting it
awaken my mind while it improves my breathing and circulation. Then
I rinse quickly with cool water. The scent is fresh, invigorating and
it lifts the spirit!"
