Arabian
Aromatherapy heals and re-balances your soul, your mind
& your body.
Abu Ali Ibn Sina, known in the West as Avicenna, invented
the process of steam distillation and was the first person
ever to distil the oil of rose. It was he who developed the
use of attars for physical ailments using specific
scientific formulas. He designed an elaborate system
whereby attars and flowers were assigned mizaj or
temperaments, which allowed treatment of physical
conditions by considering the inherent imbalance and
temperament of an individual and re-balancing with an attar
of an appropriate temperament. Every item of food,
medicine, herb or attar all has its own mizaj. Something
that has positive effects for one person may be detrimental
to a person of a different mizaj.
After carefully analysing a person's mizaj, we will then
prescribe the appropriate attar or attars to be used on
specific points on the body with techniques specific to
each individual condition. The attars can successfully
treat physical illnesses as well as emotional conditions
and be used for spiritual advancement and meditation.
The sufi tradition developed the spiritual use of
aromatherapy by relating different scents to the stations
the soul passes through on its journey of return to the
Creator
and to the various physical, mental and spiritual illnesses
that reflect the
soul’s growth through the respective stages of the soul.
The use of attars in healing is part of the Unani Tibb
Eastern Medicine tradition,
which is a holistic system of medicine that in addition to
attars, uses herbs,
dietary and lifestyle adjustments to heal and re-balance in
a gentle way
that works with the body and encourages it to heal.
