AN ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO BLENDING ESSENTIAL OILS AND CRAFTING REMEDIES FOR BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT
Jade Shutes & Amy Galper
WITH AMY ANTHONY, AMANDINE PETER, AND ELISABETH VLASIC
Everyone is talking about essential oils these days. You can find ample information on them from a variety of media sources that explore their roles in herbal medicine, mindfulness, natural body care, functional medicine, and the practice of Ayurveda and Chinese medicine. But the real challenge is trusting the information you find. Who is writing it? Whats their experience?
Weve been around a long time, and we have garnered respect from scholars and thought leaders in the field of aromatherapy and beyond. Our students come from around the world. They find us because they want an honest, scholarly, innovative, fun, and balanced approach to learning how to use these remarkable materials.
Our approach is simple: We first celebrate the joy and beauty of the aromas of essential oils. That initial profound connection opens our minds and our hearts to the power (and science) of their medicine. We invite everyone who smells an essential oil to join our mission to connect with our sense of smell and observe how olfaction impacts our well-being and our relationships with plants and with our world.
We love essential oils. This book is our opportunity to share our passion, experience, and knowledge about aromatic plants and their power to impact our lives. Welcome to expanding your journey and deepening your understanding of essential oils!
WHAT IS AROMATHERAPY? The quick and simple answeraromatherapy is the study and application of essential oils. It can also be referred to as Essential Oil Therapy, and thats how we like to think of it. Essential Oil Therapy (i.e., aromatherapy) encompasses the holistic application and use of essential oils to support the health and well-being of the individual. Well use both terms in this book.
But if we dig deeper, its true and genuine definition is still a little murky. Its often misunderstood and undervalued, possibly due to its commercial exploitation, especially in the United States. Think of all the diffusers saturating the market these days, and the thousands of articles and Internet posts touting the magical powers of essential oils. (Thats actually one of the reasons we like calling it Essential Oil Therapy.) And yet, despite the lack of clarity and complexity in its definition, aromatherapy continues to be one of the fastest growing complementary healthcare modalities of the 21st century.
Before we start carving out our approach to Essential Oil Therapy, lets quickly review the history of the human use of aromatic plants. Understanding it can provide great insight into how we redefine it for the 21st century.
Although humans have been using aromatic plants for thousands of years, aromatherapy as we know it today is a relatively young practice in comparison. Throughout this book you will be introduced to the remarkably dynamic and diverse ways in which essential oils can be used: house-cleaning products, therapeutic inhalers, diffuser blends, body care products to nourish and support the health of skin, and medicinal products that support the bodys own innate healing processes.
Our use of medicinal and aromatic plants is ancient. Many of the ways our ancestors used aromatics are similar to the ways in which we use them today. They date back to the origins of humans, when aromatic plant material was first placed onto a fire. Our sense of smell was more attuned back then, and primitive humans may have found the aromas powerfully affecting them in many ways.
Eventually, through their intuition and observations, people were motivated to start writing down their experiences with plants. We can find written records dating as far back as 5,000 years. Cultures in India, Egypt, and China, for example, have rich histories and evidence of using medicinal and aromatic plants. Plants collected for their aroma and extracts were used for medicine, food preservation, religious ceremonies, and embalming the dead.
During the Middle Ages aromatics were used for defense against the bubonic plague. Doctors would use a variety of aromatic herbs and spices stuffed in a mask to protect themselves from infection. It has been speculated that through their use of aromatics, perfumers and glove makers (those who made gloves would imbue the gloves with aromatics) were immune to the plague due to the aromatics they used in their respective crafts.
GROWING INTEREST
Market research studies, conducted by Grand View Research in April 2019 and Market Reports World in September 2019, report that the global aromatherapy market size was valued at USD $1.3 billion in 2018 and is projected to witness a 10.4 percent CAGR (compound annual growth rate) over the forecast period ending in 2025. Rising awareness about therapeutic uses of essential oils is anticipated to drive the growth. Specifically, Grand Views Aromatherapy Market Size Analysis reports that revenues are expected to reach $2.35 billion by 2025.
By the 18th century, the use of essential oils was much more widespread. Research on their medicinal properties captivated the curiosity of physicians and druggists, who were the early precursors to modern pharmacists. And in the 19th century, published studies showing the antibacterial and antifungal properties of many essential oils became more accessible.
Lets take a brief look at how the word Aroma- therapy came into the modern lexicon. It was Ren-Maurice Gattefoss, perfumer and chemist, who coined the term in 1937. Probably the most important thing to remember about Gattefoss and his impact on what eventually grew into the modern practice of aromatherapy is that he clearly meant to distinguish the medicinal application of essential oils from their perfumery applications. As a perfumer, he had a great love and passion for the aromas of essential oils, but by 1918 he grew more fascinated with their application for medicinal purposes.
Today our definition of aromatherapy is much more nuanced. We recognize and implement the dual effect essential oils have on the body and the mind.
This modern perspective was mostly born from the work of visionary Marguerite Maury (18951968), a traditionally trained nurse from Vienna who had a passion for exploring mind and body practices, such as acupuncture, yoga, and meditation.
Her fascination with and great love of aromatics compelled her to explore how best to apply essential oils to achieve a notable and identifiable connection between the mind and body. From this, she pioneered the practice of applying essential oils topically and observing their psychological and physiological benefits.
