23.01.2022 No other flower has been exalted in literature and mythology and used for so many sacred purposes as the rose. In both ancient art and literature, the rose was the predominant flower symbol. Its blossom symbolises beauty, love, youth, perfection and immortality It is not surprising that many aromatherapists agree that rose oil is effective in all levels of life, for the soul, spirit and body. Many pharmacological studies involving rose oil have been published. I have chosen ...a selection of studies that support the traditional and clinical uses, which you can read in the full monograph here https://salvatorebattaglia.com.au/essential-oils/87-rose What do you love most about Rose essential oil?

19.01.2022 Book now for the Zoom webinar with me on Re-shamanising Aromatherapy. Many aromatherapists suggest that aromatherapy is a shamanistic practice. The central theme of this webinar is whether essential oils are used for sacred purposes purely as a symbolic offering ‘to the spirits’ or whether they play an important role as an entheogen.

16.01.2022 During the Re-shamanising Aromatherapy webinar, I mentioned an episode of Radio National Health Report with Norman Swan. In this episode, Norman Swan discusses research examining the benefits of using psilocybin in the treatment of depression. It would appear much of the therapeutic efficacy of the psilocybin is based on the degree that one experiences an altered state of consciousness (ASC). As I explained in the webinar, essential oils are not likely to have the same enthe...ogenic effect as many of the traditional psychotropic plants used in traditional shamanic practices. While essential oils are not able to elicit the same degree of ASC, I do believe essential oils can play just as important of a role as psychointegrators, a term coined by Winkelman, which I discussed in the webinar.

14.01.2022 In the Aromatherapy and Chakras Masterclass I stated that aromatherapy can play an important role in the prevention and management of mental health conditions. Recent statistics indicate 45% of all Australians are likely to experience mental health issues within their lifetime. Depression and anxiety disorders are the most common forms of mental illness. In this 2-hour webinar we will:... Identify the factors that contribute to mental health disorders Identify the early symptoms to look out for as possible signs of a mental health disorder Discuss a range of treatments including aromatherapy Examine the clinical evidence to support the use of aromatherapy for the management of mental health disorders Examine a range of essential oil blends for a range of mental health disorders A set of notes will be also be included.

12.01.2022 Ingestion of essential oils is always a controversial topic. To begin, I want to clarify that as a traditionally trained aromatherapist, I am not against ingestion of essential oils. Essential oils have long been used for enhancing the flavor of food and are commonly used internally for their therapeutic purposes. However, I must stress that anyone who recommends the oral use of essential oils for therapeutic purposes should be suitably qualified.... I can understand why the media is often critical of therapies that tout quick-fix cures for serious conditions such as cancer. Unfortunately, the media tends to mock or criticize the entire aromatherapy industry for this, not just the companies making outrageous claims. Read more of my thoughts on this topic on my blog https://salvatorebattaglia.com.au//89-ingestion-and-therap
11.01.2022 In my recent Aromatherapy and Chakra Masterclass I spoke about the importance of having strategies to cope with the mental health disorders that are occurring as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the Masterclass, I introduced a beautiful Japanese word: Ikigai. Researchers have confirmed that having ‘purpose in life’ provides us with better protective mechanisms to manage mental health issues. While there is no direct English translation for the term, ‘Ikigai’ more or ...less translates to 'purpose'. Ikigai means doing what you love doing, and it gives us purpose and passion to live and get out of bed every day. It is more important than ever that we have strong Ikigai. The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic which have led to social isolation, increased anxiety, depression, stress, economic hardship, uncertainty, and lack of clarity are having an impact on our mental health. I believe the impact of mental health disorders on our health and wellbeing potentially represents a greater long-term risk to physical illnesses than the virus itself. Any holistic prevention strategy must be a multi-pronged approach. Government policies play a critical role in providing the social infrastructure and support to those within our community, thereby reducing the risk of mental health disorders. However, it is also important to incorporate the development of other qualities, such as Ikigai and resilience. I also believe aromatherapy can provide a very effective and safe modality to reduce the risks of mental health disorders. There is extensive evidence to confirm essential oils have both a biological and neurological basis in the management of mental health disorders. There has however been a reluctance to integrate concepts of spirituality in traditional biomedical healthcare. Most holistic models of healthcare, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) or Ayurveda, have always observed a holistic framework that considers the spiritual, physical and emotional dimensions of wellbeing. I believe essential oils are uniquely positioned to influence our mental health at a physical, emotional and spiritual level. I do sincerely look forward to you joining me for my next webinar, Aromatherapy and Mental Health. During this webinar, we will discuss the factors that lead to mental health disorders; examine common healthcare strategies to deal with the long term implications of mental health; find out why essential oils are so effective in managing stress, anxiety and other mental health disorders, and learn how to formulate essential oil blends that can be used to treat a range of mental health disorders using holistic principles from TCM and Ayurveda.

09.01.2022 In my post yesterday, I spoke about the important a multi-pronged approach to any holistic prevention strategy, and that it should incorporate qualities such as Ikigai and resilience. I recently came across a truly inspiring TED talk by Dr Lucy Hone on the topic of resilience that I wish to share with you.
08.01.2022 Researchers have confirmed that having ‘purpose in life’ provides us with better protective mechanisms to manage mental health issues. While there is no direct English translation for the term, ‘Ikigai’ more or less translates to ‘purpose'. Ikigai means doing what you love doing, and it gives us purpose and passion to live and get out of bed every day. ... It is more important than ever that we have strong Ikigai. What is your Ikigai?
08.01.2022 As 2021 slowly unfolds and we leave behind a tumultuous 2020, I sincerely hope the perseverance and resilience we all demonstrated last year will continue to give us the strength and courage to overcome any adversities that may unfold this year. Many of the 2020 international aromatherapy conferences which were postponed or rescheduled for 2021, will now wisely be turned into online events. With people in many parts of the world still experiencing hard lockdowns, it is more i...mportant than ever to maintain a sense of community for professional aromatherapists. Online platforms provide a great opportunity for this. I have been in discussion with the IFA, NAHA and CFA, and am very excited to be participating in special online events and masterclasses for members. As details are finalised, please make sure you stay connected with your professional association and my messages. I am so excited to announce The Complete Guide to Aromatherapy, Volume III Subtle and Psyche is very close to completion. Over the coming months, I look forward to sharing with you the fascinating information in this new volume. There are only two chapters from the second edition that are in Volume III, and these have all been revised and rewritten. All the other chapters are completely new. One of the chapters will present an interesting framework that I have developed to explore and understand the spiritual dimension of scent. In the coming weeks I will announce dates for book launches in May and early June. In Australia, we should be able to have a face-to-face event in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. I will also be having a special online book launch. I am also excited to announce very shortly, the 2021 schedule for all my online masterclasses. I have been developing an advanced aromatherapy program based on the contents of Volume III. The program will take approximately 80 -100 hours to complete. There are eight units with online masterclasses, readings and assessments to complete. The numbers for this program will be strictly limited so that we can also facilitate communication with fellow participants. I hope that 2021 is a year in which we can all flourish. Flourish is such a beautiful term that is also used by health professionals to describe the state of our mental health and the degree of our emotional, psychological, social and spiritual wellbeing.
