The Holistic Look at Aromatherapy and its Impact on Stress in Pregnancy and Beyond

In the UK figures for mental health problems are increasing as is awareness in relation to anxiety and stress, particularly work-related stress according to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) statistics. A significant proportion of those affected is female and possibly pregnant. Studies have shown stressful work situations in pregnancy increases the risk of miscarriage, preterm labor and birth, low birth weight babies and pre-eclampsia. So in response to this, Sue wants to understand and explore the causative factors and discuss aromatherapy and the role of essential oils holistically to make the journey into parenthood easier and also to create strong roots for introducing new life into the world.

This involves her personal work and life experiences in this field, and which she will share in this presentation.

Flower Power for Pets - Exploring the Use of Hydrosols for Our Animal Friends

With the rise of the use of aromatherapy with both humans and their animal friends, it is important to be mindful of safe use for everyone, but even more so with animals. This presentation offers a view to exploring the use of hydrosols aka ‘gentle waters’ with our animal friends.

These naturally-sourced botanicals are often overlooked when seeking safe and user-friendly options for both physical and emotional balance. The beauty of hydrosols is that they both can be quite effective with many issues. Included in the presentation will be easy-to-use information applicable for skin and minor wound care, fear-based behavior and for use during times of grief and transition.

Robin B. Kessler 

Frankincense Resins: How to Use and Incorporate Into Your Aromatic Practice

Dr. Kelly Ablard 

Healing Threatened Aromatic Medicinal Plants: Conservation, Sustainability, & Education

Earth is undergoing its sixth extinction, meaning that threatened species – including essential and carrier oil-bearing plants, are being lost at a rapid rate that far outruns the origin of new species. Unfortunately, this extinction is one in which the human race is nearly entirely responsible. Research shows that at least 19 oil-bearing plants are threatened (critically endangered, endangered, or vulnerable) of which 37% are facing extinction primarily because of being over-exploited for their essential and carrier oils.

In this lecture, we will explore the concept of conservation, sustainability, and biodiversity. We also review: 1) how threatened and trade-protected species are defined, 2) which oil-bearing plants are threatened and/or trade-protected, 3) ways you can help to protect and sustain them, 4) a good model of sustainable farming, 5) the problem with adulterated oils, and 6) guidelines that will help you make responsible decisions when purchasing oils sourced from threatened and/or trade-protected essential and carrier oil-bearing plants.

Aromatherapy changes from day to day. Every month new research opens our eyes even wider. Natalie ponders on the need and importance of continued education for therapists.

The English Aromatherapist (Nuala Wilkes)  

Unravelling Essential Oil Controversy

Throughout our aromatherapy journey, we’re very likely to come across advice or information that we disagree with – whether we find it unsafe, inappropriate or simply incorrect. It’s not always easy to know how to react in these situations. How should we deal with advice we disagree with? When should we step in and offer our opinion? What if it’s a friend promoting such advice? And what if it involves babies and children – do we have a duty to speak up? It’s a common dilemma that we all face at some point. The English Aromatherapist discusses her perspective on dealing with dissent and differences of opinion.

Nyssa Hanger 

More Than Essential Oils: Journey Into Holistic Phytotherapy

As someone who has identified as an aromatherapist for over a decade, Nyssa is beginning to consider herself less of an aromatherapist and more of a phytotherapist — one who works with all parts of the plant. When she realized that she was more comfortable with concentrated plant extracts than the plants she interacted with in her everyday life, she began a search to learn more about plants themselves.

Nyssa learned about the plants that her oils were coming from, then she continued on to the vast pharmacopeia of non-aromatic plants. As she embarked upon this study, the world came alive in new and expected ways In this talk you will learn:

♦ Why we (and our planet) need to move beyond the “essential oil trap”,

♦ Why you might actually need fewer oils,

♦ Her top 10 ways to make natural medicine a daily habit.

Marge Clarke 

Essential Oils for the Emotions

Since the early 90’s Marge has been fascinated by the emotional and/or spiritual uses of the oils. When Liz asked her to share with you all, that seemed the obvious topic.

Some of what she has learned over the years research-based, but mostly what she shares this time was experiential. (Some of it very private, and she is amazed that it came out in this session.) Marge hopes that her shared experiences will help someone else with their struggles.

Lauren Bridges

(The Aromapologist) Essential Oils for Children's Winter Ailments

Every year at the onset of cold and flu season, we see a plethora of information flood the internet on how you should be using essential oils to keep your children healthy. Unfortunately, we more often than not find suggestions that are either not appropriate for children or suggest using essential oils in a way that does not support the body’s natural defenses. Aromatic use can be safely and effectively implemented in the home to support the natural processes their bodies require to healthfully navigate winter wellness.   

Join us as we run the gamut of holistic winter wellness. Walk away prepared to tackle this season head-on, confident in effectively being able to support your children’s health!

Jane Lawson 

Keeping Blending and Essential Oils Simple

It can be very easy to get confused about how to use essential oils. Conflicting and overzealous data can make us nervous about using aromatherapy in our every day lives. I believe in keeping therapy simple.

In today’s talk, I chat with Elizabeth about how to create the very simplest care plan to choose oils. How to choose objectives for the treatment and basic ways to use the oils to feel much better about life day to day.

The Evolution of Aromatherapy and Aromatic Medicine: Reflections on Our Roots and the Next Generation

The traditional English practice of aromatherapy has clearly evolved and seemingly faster than our definitions and understanding of what that evolution has evoked can keep up. Through this lecture, we will dive into our roots – from traditional English aromatherapy practice to French aromatic medicine approach – to understand our history and our foundation. We  compare and contrast blending approaches (e.g. morphology, chemistry family, chemical component, botanical family, etc.) to understand more deeply the pros and cons of these different approaches to the art and science of blending and formulating.

And finally, we  move into the next generation of aromatherapy, both in professional practice as well as in layperson use. Moving away from the biomedical approach yet holding firm to the concepts promoted by holistic aromatherapy, we take a look at the integration of aspects of both the English and the French models of aromatherapy practice and develop an understanding of how a more physiology-based approach may be of service. Borrowing from concepts from herbal medicine, a system of approaching the education and formulation skills, we contemplate the next generation of aromatherapists.

Emily Carpenter

Sylla Sheppard-Hanger

Safe Blending for Aromatics

Sylla has lived a plant-aromatic-filled-life for 40 some years! She learned about essential oils early on as an LMT and began teaching in 1989. Since then we have seen the rise of MLM and injuries.  Some sources make it so scary people may be afraid to start. In this talk you will learn: 

♦ Safe blending guidelines why inhalation may be best for many things – mental, pain, how and whys of dilution for topical in water/oil when to use internally – list of safe oils to start with – big guns and when to use.

♦ The importance of knowing our aromatic routes and roots! Routes – the path of using these gifts of the earth for holistic healing, treating all parts together in a safe and efficacious way.

♦ Roots: who came before us, what part did aromatics play in history, medicine, who are the experts who have come before us, esp. in the USA; What have we done – ARC, injury reporting, community service.

Synergy of the Seasons

When was the last time you truly felt the joy of being alive? Felt connected to the earth and her rhythms, or to yourself and your rhythms? Our ancestors used to live their lives according to the seasons, but nowadays we ignore that, following the same routine day in day out, even though the patterns of the seasons still underpin our daily lives. In this interview we’ll be exploring how we can tune into the patterns of the year and use essential oils to foster and maintain a joyful, healthy balance, reducing the amount of disease, disharmony, and distress in our lives.

Penny Price

Asthma and Aromatherapy

Asthma is a chronic condition involving the respiratory system in which the airways occasionally constrict, become inflamed, and are lined with excessive amounts of mucus, often in response to one or more triggers. With the modern environment being so polluted, asthma is becoming much more prevalent and so easy, on the go aromatherapy treatments can be immensely helpful in keeping the lungs healthy and viable.

Asthma may also be triggered by an allergen, environmental tobacco smoke, cold or warm air, perfume, pet dander, moist air, exercise or exertion, or emotional stress. The symptoms of asthma, which can range from mild to life-threatening, can usually be controlled with a combination of drugs and environmental changes. Penny’s teaching session will talk about how essential oils can interact with medication, how to use essential oils to best effects and which essential oils are proven to help control asthma. 

She explores several treatment plans using essential oils for childhood asthma and adult asthma, and discuss the unique chemistry of oils that enables them to be pharmacologically active for treating asthma.

Michelle Roques-O'Neil The Art of Numbers, Vibrations and Aromatic Alchemy 
n Essence, everything that exists has a frequency or vibration, and part of the fabric of life; each cell, whether human, plant, animal or mineral has a unique signature. Biochemists can now confirm that a human cell is crystalline in structure, in fact, it is liquid crystal resonating with other crystalline structures to adjust our mineral balance. Plants too are calibrated at different frequencies ranging from high to low, this reflects their energetic function. Here she describes how she has developed a formula thatharnesses numerology to create charged vibrational formulae but can be very specific in intention either for the efficacy of a retail formula or more specifically for individuals. in a similar way that radionics and homeopathy give remedies numeric potency. Each number carries a meaning and action and can be used in blends in many combinations and how to anchor their profound and life-changing energies.

Dr. Florian Birkmayer  Essential Oils for Addiction
Trauma and PTSD are widespread in modern society. Trauma makes us feel ‘cut off’…from ourselves, our loved ones, our community, and Nature. Aromatic molecules, the Molecules of Connectedness can be a powerful approach to healing trauma and overcoming our sense of feeling cut off. Aromas work on the brain in multiple powerful ways and allow our psyches to rediscover our own healing abilities. In my practice, I have used aromas extensively for healing people with trauma and addiction issues. In this presentation, I will share some of my insights.

Dr. Malte Hozzel Enter the Soul With Fragrant Breathing
Life expresses itself through breath and odors. Everything breathes in the relative world of existence. Even plants breathe – yes, even stones. The breathing of plants on our “Planet Plant” prepared the breath of all organic vital expressions on Earth. Without plant oxygen, we would have no air to breathe, no food to eat, no life on Earth. Plants, being rooted in the soil, also have a strong connection with the densest element which is earth. And the Earth is linked to the sense of smell according to the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, the thousands of years old natural medicine of India. No wonder, therefore, that plants exhale scent, odors, fragrances…… They exhale the blessings of Mother Earth. Many of these fragrances are due to essential oils which the plants store in glandular cells and which have numerous functions in the life of plants. Breathing with conifer oils such as Black Spruce i.e., inhaling oils strong in ketones such as Hyssop i.e., smelling oils high in oxides, such as Eucalyptus globulus or feel the inner expansion with oils high in ethers such as Kewra, the “heart opener” – each time we experience an essential oil we experience Mother Nature in a very direct way by getting in touch with her own breath of life. Magical aromatherapy for a new millennium of powerful psycho-spiritual healing.

Anita James The Aromatic Year
As a gardener, grower, and forager I live by the seasons understanding the importance of being able to identify the plants, when they grow and when to get the best therapeutic benefits from them. As aromatherapists and essential oil users, we need to understand the plant to fully engage with the essential oil. By working through the markers of the year and utilizing seasonal essential oils we can bring the body, mind, and soul into true balance with its surroundings. In this presentation, I will look at the concept of working with the 8 seasons and markers, explaining how each one is unique, the differing energies they bring and how they affect our bodies. As a gardener I will explain how the moons energies can affect the power of our essential oils, carrier, and hydrosols, giving an insight on how to use opposite energies and seasons to bring homeostasis to our environments

Dr. Robert Pappas Working With Essential Oil Constituents
Essential oils are a collection of complex components, all having their own properties and benefits. Chemistry makes it possible to isolate these for closer study or to leverage some of their extraordinary capabilities. Over the past few years, Dr. Pappas has been studying and isolating popular and useful constituents such as beta-caryophyllene so production formulators can create even more targeted preparations for their businesses. In this podcast, he speaks about these to Elizabeth from a road trip in his car!

PRODUCTION SPECIALISTS

Jan Kusmirek Sensism and the Biome
Sensory deprivation is an ailment of modern society. While our visual senses overdose on information, the emotional senses of touch and smell are neglected. Indulgence and pampering provide the natural counterbalance. Hence to dismiss cosmetics and perfumes as superficial fashion accessories are to ignore their ability to satisfy basic cravings for a multisensory experience. The creation of materials that touch our skin or enhance our smell should be designed to stimulate pleasure and indulgence. Too often ‘natural’ or ‘organic ‘ products are poorly constructed lacking texture and creative fragrance. Additionally, the effect on the skin whether emotional or biological is not considered only the ingredient. Changing our view to that of an organic cosmetic being attuned to the biome from pH to bio-compatibility is the best way to define an organic material not simply by ingredient however poor quality or lacking vitality. This is human science in action not just an adjunct to sustainability in the land but within the terrain of the human.
Tracy Carlin Using Essential Oils and Botanicals for Soap Making

In this podcast, we discuss ways to tap into your intuition to mold essential oil mixes into sublime creations. This interview comes from Bali, in the midst of the tropical storm so please be aware there is some time lag between words and lips at times!
Shirley Routley Making Things Better
Shirley’s philosophy and indeed that of Fragrant Earth is to get good results through purity; which means sourcing and using the finest active ingredients not the cheapest and not packing the product full of things that look good on the label but are in such tiny quantities as to be meaningless. It also means they use the best in technology to make their products and keep quality controls tight.  Lastly, Fragrant Earth’s philosophy requires their products to be effective, to perform and do what they say on the pack. Combining your knowledge of essential oils and their philosophy and knowledge of good safe bases, Shirley will reveal how you can make products, which are better in activity than those sold in the high street store: foot creams, acne gels, shampoos, and prescriptive creams and lotions. Shirley’s wish is that people return to the classical use of essential oils in bases bringing the full active benefits of plant extracts back to use and life.
Lola King Dilutions versus Charts
Many of us understand the need for dilution when it comes to essential oils. However, too many individuals have taken charts to be a very literal guide for essential oil use with how aggressively our industry has grown. It is my hope to help share the true intent of charts – as guidelines for some essential oils. I think it is important that our users understand a little bit more about the essential oils that just don’t fit into a one size fits all guideline and I hope to address a few of those that don’t fit into a general chart or set of guidelines and why they don’t.

“Everyone is unique! The essence of traditional aromatherapy is to capture this uniqueness. Holistically blending for individuals. The fragrant pharmacy is continually growing. So as a bespoke blender who creates for large companies along with individual clients, how do I capture the pure essence of aromatherapy and still provide a pre-blended product that will represent the commercial needs of a business without it being just a one size fits all creation? It’s possible, believe me. It’s a signature fragrance a bespoke blend created for the beating heart of the company. Her secrets will be revealed.
Michael Scholes Managing and Understanding Large Number of Essential Oils
How to understand and use up to over 600 essential oils in blending for personal care, healing the physical, for spiritual practices, personal perfumes and in therapeutic formulations? One of the most challenging aspects of aromatherapy is learning the hundreds of essential oils that are available worldwide, their genus, species and sub-species and the many countries of origin where aromatic plants are grown. If this is not enough you have to decide on what oils blend well together, dosages and the different blends that you are making either for the physical, emotional, mental, psychological, spiritual or energetic purposes. While this is a challenging subject to learn there are ways to simplify through the integration of specific ways of organizing the oils and the information. This presentation will help you to see the subject of aromatherapy through an alternative viewpoint from someone who has over 30 years of experience, has formulated over 750 blends and personally trained over 30,000 students worldwide.

Marco Valussi Quality of Essential Oils
Marco talks about the subject of quality in the field of essential oils. His main purpose is to present the point of view of the producers of essential oils to the audience of professional users, to develop a common understanding or at least a common ground for discussion and collaboration. He begins by looking at different definitions of quality and at the difference between the concept(s) of quality and those of purity and “natural”, that is, in fact, many times taken to be almost synonymous. He will then try to give a larger, more inclusive definition of quality, introducing not only cultivation and chemical standards, but also social, environmental and cultural aspects into the definition. By doing this he will stress the difference between negative, statical standards (what NOT to do), and positive, dynamic ones (what you need TO DO). In particular, he will look into the subject of environmental sustainability as a key issue for this day and age, give the unprecedented and increasing use of essential oils in all different markets, a use so massive that we need to worry now about the general sustainability of such a use.
Filip Lissicharov Rose Oil – The Bulgarian Liquid Gold - From the Past to the Future
Bulgaria is recognized worldwide as the country of roses. Rose is the national symbol of Bulgarians. Bulgarian rose oil with over 350 years of history and tradition is a key ingredient in the flavors and fragrance industry. Nowadays, it has found its place and has a growing impact in the aromatherapy, cosmetics, foods, and pharmaceutical industries. Filip in his presentation will introduce you to Bulgarian history, tradition and culture. He tells us about the Bulgarian rose and the rose oils production. You will find great information on the process of harvesting, distillation, and why Bulgarian Rose is no.1 in the world. You will also learn about the uses of this oil, the challenges of adulteration, climate change, and other aspects producers face nowadays. Finally, he is going to introduce us to the workshops and study tours they organize for professional development or just for the love of the plant and its extract.
