It’s time for a big re-think of what we classify as a medicine

Posted on: August 26th, 2015

Our BE RELIEVED is in the same category as Panadol and Nurofen,we pay an annual fee as a 'Listed Medicine' yet it is still looked on as an alternative medicine. It's time for a big re-think of what we classify as a medicine. As Kurt Schnaubelt in Medical Aromatherapy Healing with Essential Oils reveals: "Modalities such as aromatherapy, which acknowledges the phenomena of the soul, will be vastly more successful in treating the real problems of our times than conventional medicine. Medicine as it stands is part of the problem, therefore it can do very little for its solution". He goes on...

Because of their vast complexity and human...

Posted on: July 2nd, 2015

Applying certain essential oils to the ear canal appears to be an effective treatment for ear infections, findings from an animal study suggest.

Most times, pain can be quickly and easily relieved naturally (without pharmaceutical pain killers) by dealing with the inflammation and encouraging the removal of any (toxic) excess fluids, thereby returning the tissues to the same state that they were in...
