Some healers understand the connection between plants and cosmic activity. Essential oil scents derived from plants, herbs and flowers can provide a health treatment for physical ailments or mood disorders. Try these essential oils on their own or make a blend for intense healing. Each essential oil is associated with its relationship to its zodiac sign.

Modern medicine is an allopathic system that combats disease by administering drugs to treat symptoms also known as pharmacology. Symptoms may be relieved, but the problem remains. The first medicines were plants. Celestial influences can affect activity in our bodies and the curative properties of herbs have already been discovered.

Astrology is an empirical science based upon observation over time and can’t be proved under a microscope so that’s why it is considered irrelevant in healing diseases. The power of the mind is also closely connected when it comes to natural and unnatural substances. Many people experience harsh side effects from chemical substances and in order to avoid that, they turn to plant medicine. Plants can be distilled, smoked, tinctured, boiled into a tea, and eaten. This article explains aromatherapy and the benefit of plant-derived oils taken in by smell for healing.

• A bath
