For the most part of my life I thought bay leaf was just a kitchen herb. To be pulled out when the biryani was made. While studying alternative therapies over the years I’ve learnt that this humble Laurel leaf was so much more than a flavour enhancer. And has been used for centuries by herbalists, naturopaths and even spiritual ceremonies for its host of powers. Devoid of side effects bay leaves can be used and consumed by everyone but to be avoided if you are pregnant.

Forgiveness is hard but so rewarding. sometimes it takes a few minutes to do. sometimes we hold on to the pain and anger for years. And sometimes it just happens. And when we do experience the liberating power of forgiveness we feel a different energy, a lightness and a sense of incomparable peace that helps this journey of life become a wee bit more bearable.

In continuation with my space cleansing series of articles, Sage incense works well as a quick substitute to burning sage bundles. Within a few minutes the energy shifts and it works better if you’ve got the doors or windows open as well. A natural purifier the scent of sage is anti microbial, mood elevating and the quickest way to detox your living space. After experimenting with various brands, I’ve discovered Hem Precious White Sage to be pretty effective. As with all aromatherapy aides, do be cautious if pregnant or allergic to strong smells and smoke.

Salt has been used for centuries as much more than seasoning for our food. Ancient healers have used salt to bless, purify, cleanse, heal and dispel, de-stress and detox our bodies and our living spaces. And it doesn’t have to fragrant or even dyed either. Good old cooking salt will do its job.

Anger like any emotion is normal, natural and healthy but as I’m learning it’s important to deal with it in a positive way especially for the sake of well-being. How do you manage your anger?
Today’s Tarot reminds – Nothing like a walk to raise your vibe – when you’ve been feeling weighed down or agitated, sluggish or antsy. Not only does it release the happy hormones it improves the way we may be looking at life at the moment, helps us clear past grievances and simply allows us to BE in the moment. And if an outdoor walk is not possible due to quarantine there’s indoor walking to release the blocks to good vibrations. Even if it’s for a few minutes a day.

Considered to be one of the most luxurious oils in aromatherapy, Neroli essential oil is used extensively in healing and in skin care. A personal favourite a few whiffs of pure essential oil and I’m smiling:) Apart from being an uplifting top note, Neroli essential oil works in its gentle and sweet way to reduce pain, suffering, exhaustion and hormone related moods. It blends beautifully with other oils but can be used as is in an aroma burner. Note of caution – Avoid Neroli if you have a citrus allergy and if you need to be alert Eg during an exam as it can make you a little drowsy. And remember aromatherapy is a slow, gentle treatment best used along with allopathy and if not sure, check with your primary doctor. Wishing you happiness 🙂

Not only does it make us feel better it reduces pain and lessens the damages of stress and modern day life and builds better bonds with other people. Make laughter a part of your self care practice. Watch a funny video. Read a joke. Call up that crazy buddy who has you cracking up in no time. Use humour to smooth over disagreements while at work today. Be spontaneous. And heal yourself with Life’s best medicine.
