Essential oils and human beings have a great deal in common: we are both alive – chemically, electrically and in terms of infrared radiation and the chemical composition of DNA in plants and people is basically the same . Ever since man first walked on the planet he has searched for plants to ease his suffering and modern medicine knows this: allopathic drugs are derived from nature. Essential oils have an effect on the brain via two routes: olfaction and essential oil absorption. When applied topically in a base oil or cream they enter the body via the skin and from there they are dispersed throughout the body. Essential oils have a holistic effect and work on the temperament of the person. In the traditional astrology model society is divided into four sectors, each one aligned with one of the temperaments. The temperament is the essence of a person, the point where body meets spirit: it is intangible and cannot be seen, but it can be felt and most certainly exists; classical authors such as Shakespeare and Chaucer referred to it throughout their literary work and the very premise of medicine is based on the four temperaments or humors. The Body Balancing Cream is an essential oil blend corresponding to planetary signatures which govern all four temperaments; it balances personality, mind, sprit and emotions. The body constantly strives to maintain homeostasis: by nurturing all four temperamental humors we create balance which results in wellness on all levels. Composition: 500ml jar; Price: ZAR150; not suitable for pregnant or lactating women. |
Superior quality essential oils blended in an aqueous base to balance the temperament while moisturising the skin. Essential oils are highly aromatic plant oils used in aromatherapy; they work on the body, mind and spirit. A person's essence consists of all four temperaments: sanguine, choleric, melancholic and phlegmatic, with the majority of people displaying a dominant one; balancing the four temperaments (humors) enhances emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing. The scent of the essential oils in the Body Balancing Cream is familiar to the body and brain on a profound level and the fragrance settles: it does not clash with any perfumes like most fragranced body creams. The combination of essential oils protects the skin, the body's first line of defence against illness.
