Man has used herbs for healing since the beginning of human history.  The “Rig Veda” written more than 5,000 years ago talks of the healing powers of herbs.  The ancient ayurvedic texts describe a fairly sophisticated method used to concentrate the aromas.  At some point in time the extraction method was perfected through the process of steam distillation.

Today, potent aromatic plant substances gained through a steam distillation process are available to improve your health and mental well-being.  These are called essential oils.  Essential oils contain the most subtle, ethereal and volatile aspects of the plant.

Chemical Compositions of Essential Oils

At the beginning of the 20th century, French chemist Maurice Gattefosse analyzed the chemical composition of essential oils and wrote the first book on their pharmacology, which he called “aromatherapy.”  Since that time, numerous studies have confirmed the healing properties of essential oils.  The direct neural influence of the sense of smell on the limbic system makes aromatherapy an ideal tool to improve the emotional and other stress-related imbalances in the individual.

One of my mentors, Allison Stillman, has written a book called The Sacred Art of Anointing, which is a good read for those interested in learning both the history and current knowledge on the sacred art of healing with essential oils.

At H2E we have a variety of essential oils to aid in your healing and well being.  With more than 11 collections you are sure to find the aromatherapy and essential oils to improve your health.

For the last year I have had many requests from my wellness therapists to create a composition to aid in the healing of grief.  After a month of research and educating myself on the five stages of grief, I connected the various plants that would help open and heal the various stages of this process.  I put my alchemist hat on to compose various recipes to test on my body workers.  It was when I narrowed it down from 4 to 2 compositions that I started to get positive reactions to the 4th and final composition. After three of the five therapists experienced hair raising up on their arms, I knew this was the one! 

I am happy to present my Ataraxis Composition, a Custom Blend.
