Dear Brethren,
I have wanted to post this for some time, but have not had the time to refine and reread my post so it has sat in my document file until now. I had the time needed today to post it so here goes, I hope it's a blessing and helpful to someone.
Blessings to you all, ~ sister Darlene ~ `
Aromatheropy...
We are conserned about New Age practices and New Age medicines and herbs that christians are unaware of. We do not want to touch the unclean practices of those who are occultic. Aromatheripy, Homopathic, Reflexology, Iridology,etc. Yoga is one alot of christians think is ok , because it is just stretching, but they are very mistaken. There is a balance, Stretching is fine and good, but when you add a spiritual aspect to it, it is not of God...(1Timothy 4:8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.)
There are extracts you rub on topicaly, and things you inhale that are medicinal like Menthol, Eucalyptous oil, camphor, these are used in caugh drops, caugh syrup, blue ice rubbing compound for arthritus pain and muscle pain, If you inhale Menthol and Eucalyptous it opens your air ways, there are drawing salves, creams, etc that all go on topically that have herb extracts in them. These are all fine and good, but when you get witchy about it like say in the practice of Aromatherapy, you take that which is good and change its use and meaning for that which is not of the Lord and that which Gods children should have nothing to do with.
Aromatherapy: Natural Health Dictionary II on Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy:
Aromatherapy means “treatment using scents”. It is a holistic treatment ( ho·lism (h½“l¹z”…m) n. 1. The theory that living matter or reality is made up of organic or unified wholes that are greater than the simple sum of their parts. 2. A holistic investigation or system of treatment. --ho“list n.)of caring for the body with pleasant smelling botanical oils such as rose, lemon, lavender and peppermint. The essential oils are added to the bath or massaged into the skin, inhaled directly or diffused to scent an entire room.
Aromatherapy is used for the relief of pain, care for the skin, alleviate tension and fatigue and invigorate the entire body. Essential oils can affect the mood, alleviate fatigue, reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. When inhaled, they work on the brain and nervous system through stimulation of the olfactory nerves. Sounds fairly harmless But is it???

Aromatherapy: Wiccan Pagan Dictionary on AROMATHERAPY Not good!
AROMATHERAPY - the art of healing & wellness using essential oils and oil blends. Depending in the remedy, application may be internal, external or as an inhalant.
Now, that sounds ok, but remember satan takes that which is good which in this case is extracted oils of plants/ herbs and then he twists and adds to it and makes it an evil twisted practice.

What does it have to do with your spirit? They are refering to spiritual things alright. Not the spirit of God though. I can see how your mental outlook might be better if you feel good, ''but that's not what these folks are refering too!

Aromatherapy: Massage Bodywork Dictionary on AROMATHERAPY
AROMATHERAPY
The use of essential oils (which are extracted from herbs, flowers, resin, woods, and roots) in body and skin care treatments is known as aromatherapy. Used as a healing technique for thousands of years by the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, essential oils aid in relaxation, improve circulation, and help the healing of wounds.
That I agree with, Plant extracts used for medicinal purposes. I do not agree with smells being emotionally, or physical healing and especially I do not believe it heals the soul. What does it have to do with the Soul? Because they are using it ( Aromatheropy) to practice witchcraft. I believe that Aromatheropy is the word they use to discribe the use of essential olis used in practicing witchcraft.
Aromatherapy diffusers are utilized to fill the massage room with the scent of the oils. Specific essential oils are blended by the aromatherapist and added to a carrier oil, such as almond oil, to be used during the massage. Each of the oils has its own unique characteristics and benefits.
Use of this technique declined as the modern pharmaceutical industry developed. However, the French chemist Gattefossé revived the art by coining the term aromatherapy and by publishing a book on the subject in 1928.

Aromatherapy: Holistic Health Therapy Dictionary on Aromatherapy
AROMATHERAPY: uses essential oils from flowers, trees, roots, herbs, berries and fruits, to treat emotional disorders such as stress and anxiety as well as a wide range of other ailments and to promote physical, mental and emotional wellness. Oils are either massaged into the skin in diluted form, inhaled, placed in baths, or applied on and around the body.
Aromatherapy is often used in conjunction with massage therapy, acupuncture, reflexology, herbology, chiropractic and other wholistic healing.
What is aromatherapy?
It is the controlled use of natural essential oils in the process of physical and emotional healing. ( Physical and Emotional Healing???) You may have discovered that in some ways, you've been experiencing aromatherapy most of your life without even knowing it.
We have all experienced memory recall triggered by a particular scent; perhaps the scent of a favorite flower, or the perfume your grandmother used to wear, or an aunt's linen closet. The event can produce positive or negative memories. Certain scents may trigger negative thoughts of a person or place in your past. Whatever the case, the importance of scent in our lives is quite profound and in some ways, unique to each of us. Aromatherapy is a way to enjoy a controlled use of natural oils to enrich and benefit your life.
Perfume??? Perfume is pleasant, but not healing... Benifit? or delight the smell...
What are essential oils?
Whole, pure essential oils come from nature; they are the "essence" of plants. They are droplets of water-like fluid contained in the leaves, stems, bark, flowers, roots and/or fruits of different plants, and give the plant its unique scent. Essential oils are volatile, whereas they easily transfer from a liquid to a gaseous state at room temperature or higher. The amount of essential oil found in most plants is 1 to 2%, but can contain amounts from 0.01 to 10%. They can change in composition and location with a particular plant. For example, orange trees produce neroli oil in their blossoms, orange oil in their citrus, and petitgrain oil in their leaves. Essential oils are also very concentrated and extremely potent, and sometimes 75 to 100 times more concentrated than say, the herb it is present in. This is all the more reason to use these oils with thorough knowledge of their potency.
How are essential oils extracted?
There are two common procedures for extracting true essential oils:
Steam distillation
Expression
The process of steam distillation has 5 steps:
Steam plant material
Collect steam carrying aromatic molecules
Cool in cold-water bath
Produce floral water and essential oil
Separate essential oil, then bottle
This process is also the most popular for obtaining the essential oils from plants. The steam is forced into a vat containing the plant material, which ruptures the oil glands and releases the oil. The volatile oils are cooled, separated from the water content, and bottled. It may take hundreds or thousands of pounds of plant material to distill a single pound of the essential oil. Bulgarian Rose oil requires about 4,000 pounds of hand-picked flower petals to make 1 pound of oil, obviously making this one expensive oil!
The second method, extraction, has 4 major steps:
Have citrus peels
Machine press
Obtain essential oils and fruit waxes
Separate oils, then bottle
This method is primarily used in the perfume and food industries, and does not produce a 100% pure essential oil. Solvents are used in the process to pull out the soluable molecules; therefore making them incomplete oils. Resins, concretes, absolutes, and pomades result from this method.
How are essential oils taken in?
Essential oils are absorbed into the body two ways; through the skin and through nasal inhalation. Our sense of smell, controlled by the olfactory system, is some 10,000 times greater than any other sense. The olfactory system is directly linked to the limbic system, which is responsible for our emotional state, memory, and certain regulatory function.
Essential oils also penetrate the skin, or the integumentary system. Because essential oils have a low molecular weight and are organic in nature, they are absorbed through the pores and hair follicles of the skin, and unlike synthetic chemicals, they do not accumulate in the body. Absorption can take place anywhere from 15 minutes to 12 hours, and take from 3 to 6 hours to be metabolized in a healthy body. Excessive fat or toughened skin may slow down the rate of absorption; whereas heat, water, exercise, or broken skin may speed it up.
How are essential oils used?
Aromatherapy is used to self-heal and soothe common, everyday health challenges. It is by no means a replacement for the opinion of a licensed physician, and should always be used with respect.
As with all things derived from nature, some essential oils are considered hazardous, and under certain circumstances, should be avoided. Some are phototoxic, neurotoxic, or carcinogenic, and safety precautions should always be considered when working with and administering any essential oil.
Here are common-sense safety points to note:
Avoid essential oils deemed as hazardous
Keep all essential oils out of the reach of children.
Remember essentail oils are very potent.
Do not take orally.
Follow dilution guidelines carefully. Never use an oil without first diluting.
Use 1% or less dilution during pregnancy.
Be aware of others with sensitivities or allergies.
Do not use on or near the eyes.
Do a skin patch test if prone to sensitivities.
Use extra care on broken or damaged skin.
Avoid phototoxic essential oils if history of skin cancer.
Keep them away from light and heat sources.
Use only therapeutic genuine and authentic essential oils.

I found all of this informative and interesting information from this New Age sight. Some of it sounds innocent the way they explain it, but we are concerned with the added teachings and meanings here.
Aromatheropy is a New Age practice and it's teaching, practice, and meaning of words and phrases goes much deeper than it looks. Looks are decieving.
Satan often takes that which is pure and good and twists it to have other uses or meanings.
We need to steer clear of anything New Age or occultic.
We need to be careful the companies we by herbal products from. There are good ones out there but you have to look.
Beware of New Age symbols and phrases. I'll post more on this later.
Before doctors were plentiful people use to doctor themselves and their children with herbs and salves made from plant extract and that is the way God entended them to be used. Anything added ar taken away is not of God. ( what I mean by that, is they add a spiritual meaning and aplication to these herbs and extracts, and how Homeopathy takes away by diluting the herb 100 times or more and says it is able to heal. That is supernatural and not of the Lord.)
Thats what satan does with the word of God he takes that which is pure and good and adds something to or takes something away thus changing the purpose God intended for it to be used.
