Jennifer Lawson BS, IAC, CGFI, Aromatherapist at Mother Jai, Group Fitness Instructor

Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine that uses plant materials known as essential oils and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of altering mind, mood, cognitive function, or physical health. Aromatherapy does not cure conditions but helps the body to find a natural way to cure itself and improve immune response.

A holistic approach
Today, aromatherapy is one of the most popular of all complementary therapies, offering a wide range of highly effective treatments to both the acute and chronic stages of illness and disease. Regular use of aromatherapy treatments and home-use products can help to strengthen the immune system, thereby establishing a preventative approach to overall health.

One of the reasons that aromatherapy has been so hugely successful is because it uses a holistic approach, whereby the aromatherapist takes into account a person’s medical history, emotional condition, general health and lifestyle before planning a course of treatment. The whole person is treated – not just the symptoms of an illness – and this is in direct opposition to the modern trend of just treating the presented condition.

Backache, irritable bowel syndrome or headaches, for example, are often the result of stress and not actually a physical problem. No amount of pill-popping is really going to provide a long-term solution since it only masks the symptoms without addressing the problems. By looking at the causes of the stress and providing treatments to ease and manage it, the aromatherapist will alleviate the condition in a much more efficient manner.

I have been hand-blending Aromatherapy products for 6 years. I offer an entire hygiene regimen that is hand-made and chemical-free to help cancer patients heal during and after their cancer treatments. The set includes water-based mouthwash, activated charcoal toothpowder, all natural beeswax-based lotion hand sanitizer, healing bath and body oil, chemical free cleanser/toner, honey lip balm, water based air freshener, and glycerine free coconut oil soap that can be used as shampoo, body wash, face wash, and hand soap. Each set is blended according to each individual’s specific preferences and situations.

I hold a Bachelor’s of Science in Integrative Therapies, an Integrative Aromatherapy Certification from the Institute of Integrative Aromatherapy in Boulder, Colorado, as well as an ACE Group Fitness Instructor Certification.
