    Historical Use of Aromatic Plants in the GardenBy Sharon Falsetto, CA, BA, (Hons)

    "If one way be better than another, thatyou may be sure is natures way."Aristotle

    Gardens, or "yards" as they are more commonly

    known in the United States, have been around for

    literally thousands of years; they are a place of

    tranquility and relaxation, a place to unwind from

    the stresses of life. Whatever shape, size or form

    gardens take, they all have many things in

    common; the visual stimulation of a bright array of

    owers, the feel of the cool shade of a welcome tree

    in the heat of the midday sun, the sound of a

    trickling fountain or waterfall or the fragrant aroma

    of roses. All of these things touch one or all of ourve senses.

    The Egyptians show evidence of gardening on

    tombs dating back to 1500 BC. The Egyptians used

    many aromatic plants and herbs for both medicinal

    and perfumery uses. Kyphi was a well know

    Egyptian fragrance blended from plants such a

    juniper, peppermint, myrrh, cinnamon and saffron

    Persia was also renowned for its fragrant gardens afar back as 2,500 years ago. Indeed, the mo

    famous of these gardens must surely be th

    Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Seve

    Wonders of the World. They were built in the 6t

    century BC by Nebuchadnezzar II for his wife

    Mayitis, who was apparently homesick for he

    native country, although other writings sugges

    that they were built by another Persian King, Cyru

    for a courtesan. Whichever of these stories is tru

    descriptions concur that these gardens were vision

    of water, cool terraces and an exotic blend o

    fragrant trees, owers and herbs.

    The Romans learned about gardens mainly from

    the Greeks, notably from Discorides, but were als

    aware of the Egyptian ideals. They were in the hab

    of building large gardens and devoted a lot o

    reverence to the rose. Banqueting guests wer

    showered with rose petals in an attempt to comba

    any drunken shenanigans; Nero apparently had h

    banqueting oors strewn with rose petals. The roswas seen as somewhat of a "status" symbol in th

    Roman garden. The ancient wall paintings

    Pompeii in Italy, laid undiscovered under the lava o

    Mount Vesuvius for centuries, also show th

    elaborate gardens that were prevalent at that tim

    and the number of aromatic plants and herbs tha

    were in everyday use.

    The Roman Empire extended to the conquest o

    Great Britain and consequently the Roman

    introduced a number of now well known plants antrees such as cherry, peach, parsley, fenne

    rosemary, sage and thyme. The herbs that th

    Romans introduced to Great Britain became a

    essential part of the medieval monastery garden

    and remain today an integral part of an Englis

    country garden.

    Gardens in England varied over different historic

    periods; for example, the Tudors were heavi

    inuenced by the Italians, whereas the Stuarts wer

    more inuenced by the French style. Large garden

    were normal for huge, stately country piles;

    however even small cottage gardens were

    crammed with herbs and aromatic plants, used forboth culinary and medicinal purposes. It was only

    with the onset of the Industrial Revolution, when

    people left the country for the cities in search of

    their "fortune" that gardening declined to a lesser

    scale and the medicinal value of plants were

    forgotten for a period of time.

    Hospitals are realizing the benets of providing a

    garden for their patients recovery and many are

    putting money into providing a garden because of

    this. One study, the Joint Commission for theAccreditation of Hospitals Organization, found:

    "Patients and visitors need connections with nature

    through exterior spaces, plants, halls and TL

    (therapeutic landscaping)" (1999). (Source: Journal

    of Mediterranean Ecology Vol. 8 2007)

    An aromatherapy garden focuses on the scents of

    the plants and owers in it. The scents released

    from plants, trees and owers are the basis for the

    essential oils used in aromatherapy. Essential oils

    are volatile (from the Latin volare, meaning to y),which means they evaporate at or above room

    temperature. Heat releases the fragrance of the oils

    (essentially the plant's perfume or avor), hence the

    more noticeable fragrances generated by a walk

    through a summer garden. In the winter these

    fragrances are less noticeable as the cooler air

    prevents easy evaporation of the oils from plants.

    Flowers for an aromatherapy garden

    "I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds onmy neck" Emma Goldman

    There are lots of owers that you can choose for an

    aromatic garden, depending on your location, size

    of space and personal preferences. These are a few

    of my favorite owers for an aromatherapy garden.

    Rose (Rosa damascena): rose is perhaps my most

    favorite ower as it reminds me of England;

    however, rose is actually a true native of the Far

    East, brought to England in the trading of spice

    and other exotic goods. Some hardier varieties o

    rose tolerate the sub-zero temperatures of ou

    Arizona winter and provide lasting colo

    throughout the summer and fall. Extraction of rosessential oil is difficult and thus costly, making i

    subject to adulteration by some suppliers. It take

    about 60,000 rose petals to produce one ounce o

    essential oil, so take advantage of the natura

    fragrance of a rose in your backyard for a fraction o

    that cost!

    The Healing Power of Scented Gardens

    "The greatest gift of the garden is threstoration of the ve senses" Hanna Rion

    All of our senses are stimulated by the sights

    sounds, smell, touch (and even taste!) of a garden.

    Vincent Van Gogh spent time (at his own

    admission) at the Asylum of Saint Paul de Mausole

    in Saint-Remy, France and this was where he

    painted one of his most famous series of paintings

    Iris. He was apparently inspired and healed by th

    surrounding gardens of the Asylum.

    Trees for an aromatherapy garden

    "Of the innite variety of fruits which spring from

    the bosom of the earth, the trees of the wood are th

    greatest in dignity" Susan Fenimore Cooper

    There are also a large number of fragrant trees from

    pine forests and cedar woods to the more exotic

    fruity fragrances of the citrus trees to choose fromfor your aromatherapy garden; here's a couple of

    my favorite trees for an aromatherapy garden:

    Orange (Citrus sinensis): orange is my favorite

    citrus tree, simply because it is so uplifting and

    nearly every part of the tree is used for

    aromatherapy, (leaves - Petitgrain (Citrus

    aurantium var amara), owers - orange

    blossom/neroli (Citrus aurantium var amara) fruit -

    sweet orange (Citrus sinensis).

    You can also both eat and drink the fruit!

    Orange reminds me of Spain, where there a lot of

    orange trees growing, but it is also grown in other

    Mediterranean countries as well as worldwide,

    including several states of America (Florida and

    California). However, orange was an original native

    of China. An orange tree grows to about 2 ft. Sweet

    orange essential oil is usually liked by children,

    pregnant women and the elderly due to its gentle

    nature.

    Pine (Pinus sylvestris): there are a number of

    varieties of pine tree but the Scotch pine is usually

    the favorite for aromatherapy use. Pine is a native

    of Eurasia; it is also found in the cooler climates of

    Eastern United States, Europe, Russia and a number

    of the Baltic States, in addition to Scandinavian

    countries such as Finland. Pine trees can reach 131

    feet. Pine takes its name from Scotland, where it is

    thought to have covered a lot of the countryside at

    one time. The fragrant aroma of the pine tree isknown for its many healing properties including

    respiratory, sinus, anti-viral and anti-bacterial.

    Cyprus (Cupressus sempervirens): cypress is an

    ancient species of tree; it takes its Latin name

    (sempervirens, meaning evergreen) to heart, as

    some cypress trees are thought to be over 2,000

    years old. Consequently, a number of folklore and

    traditions are associated with it. Cypress is a highly

    aromatic tree found in a number of European

    countries, although other species of the cyprus tree

    are found throughout the world, fo

    non-aromatherapy purposes, including the Arizon

    cypress tree. The properties of cypress in

    aromatherapy use include calming the nervou

    system, circulatory problems, antiseptic andastringent properties.

    Plants for an aromatherapy garden

    Other plants for an aromatherapy garden include:

    Peppermint (Mentha piperita): peppermint i

    cultivated worldwide and is a favorite in many herb

    gardens; it has been used for centuries. The uses o

    peppermint in aromatherapy include a treatmen

    for respiratory and digestive problems. It is alsoused in skin care, as well as being useful for the

    nervous system.

    Continued...page 6

    Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens): geranium is

    often referred to as the poor man's rose because of

    its similarities in fragrance of true rose; however,

    geranium is a worthy plant in its own right.Geranium essential oil is actually extracted from the

    leaves of the plant and not the owers. It is a

    popular choice for women in treating a lot of

    "women's" problems (including PMS, menopausal

    problems and excellent for skin care for all ages).

    Geranium is available in a large variety of colors and

    species for the garden and will continue to bloom

    throughout the summer and right through fall in

    the state of Arizona.

    Thyme (Thymus vulgaris): there are a number ofspecies of thyme but sweet or common thyme

    (Thymus vulgaris) was one of the earliest known

    medicinal plants in Western herbal medicine. It

    grows extensively throughout the world including

    the Mediterranean region, the United States, China,

    Russia and Turkey. Thyme leaves emit a pleasant

    aromatic aroma and is used in culinary dishes too.

    Thyme is used in aromatherapy for digestive,

    respiratory, antiseptic and antibacterial problems.

    It grows to a height of 18 inches.

    Flower Essences: Bridging Body and SpiritRobert Rogers & Laurie Szott-Rogers

    Alberta Wild Rose

    The color of Albertas Wild Rose ranges from white

    to intense pink. It is related to the heart chakra,

    both in its color and in the shape of individual

    petals. It has been known through time as the

    ower of love. While the ower opens it forms a cup

    shape, receptive and gentle. As the 5 petalled

    ower blooms it releases a magnicent scent. Its

    perfume to me, is one of the most appealing in the

    prairie summer, delicate enough to attract devas

    and encourage the birds and butteries to mate in

    blissful union. Yet the rose is a study in contrasts,

    gentle color and scent, erce barbs for protection

    and a determined forceful root system, allow it togrow in situations that are less than optimal for

    many plants. The Alberta Wild Rose is a ower of

    replenishment. Its physical properties reect its

    use. The gentleness of the color and odor mirrors its

    ability to bring hope. Its tenacious roots show an

    aptitude to hold on, even when it feels bleak or

    hopeless. The Wild Rose barbs represent the self-

    preserving, instinct useful for protecting itself and

    others around it.

    This ower essence may be applicable if there is a

    tendency toward apathy. The person may indicate

    that they are in a life situation that deadens them

    rather than nourishes them, but they need to hang

    on and survive until the situation improves.

    This essence also helps us deal with the most

    difficult transition in our experience death. This

    essence may aid us when facing that grief. In this

    case it can help connect us to the Source and ou

    personal belief in soul continuity. This also applie

    when parts of us are repressed or dead. This dead

    ening feeling can happen after trauma, a barelationship, or as a consequence of long term, lo

    self- esteem.

    When we get too bogged down by routine, o

    duties we might forget to laugh, dance, and sin

    We may also neglect to connect to ourselves an

    others, especially in a heartfelt way. These frozen o

    dead parts of our psyche can revive, as the sprin

    does after winter. Alberta Wild Rose helps awake

    numb parts.

    Case StudyOne woman noted that when taking Alberta Wi

    Rose essence that her heart seemed to thaw after

    few years of isolation in her signicant relationshi

    Not only that my husband also took the essenc

    and went through a transformation where h

    decided our relationship came before his career an

    recommitted. I felt joyous and alive.

    Alberta Wild Rose is a ower essence of compassio

    relating to the heart chakra. It helps release bitte

    ness by recognizing the beauty that does exist one's self, one's life and one's choices. It is a

    essence that lets us see our life is a reection of o

    choices, and if we change our choices, we chang

    our life. It may help us feel young when we thin

    we are too old to move on. It reminds us of ou

    youth. Not that which has gone by, but that whic

    lies ahead. Alberta Rose ower essence also help

    us overcome grief, allowing joy to emerge.

    It is difficult to be apathetic or bored around Wi

    Rose essence, because it brings out the curiou

    hopeful child in us all. It allows us to grasp the powerful truth- that we are responsible for the decision

    in our life and we have the power to make th

    changes, necessary to have our life reect ou

    consciousness.

    Alberta Wild Rose is related to the planet Venus. I

    loveliness helps us renew our commitment to ou

    life and who and what we love. It is an essence o

    hope, joy, and tenacity. This queen of the Canadia

    Prairies is a ower of self- empowerment an

    sensual beauty.Continued...page 10

    Make a list of what you are bored or under- involved

    stances? If so, what are they? Have you learned

    them? If not, what do you need to do to let them go?

    Are you ready to move on? When and where in your

    life are you excited, happy and enthused? What do

    these situations have in common?

    What is stopping you from being enthused, hopeful

    and happy more often? How can you shape your life

    so you fall back in love with it?

    Honeysuckle

    Honeysuckle ower essence is related to the soul

    qualities of hardiness and perseverance. There can

    be a thin edge at times between stubbornness and

    mental xation. It is important that thoughts and

    action are completed for the appropriate reasons.

    If the reason is mainly to control self and others due

    to constant fear, less pleasure is experienced in life.

    Honeysuckle is the ower essence for those whofear failure or the responsibilities of success. It helps

    those individuals who will avoid completion at therst sign of challenge or obstruction. In some, this

    has become ingrained to the point of inertia in both

    thought and action. At these times, the honey-

    suckle ower essence acts as a catalyst.

    It is particularly indicated for those who feel the

    need to be employed in "safe" employment situa-

    tions. Not only is this illusionary; but it prevents th

    soul from expansion. This can create physica

    disease in the body if left unattended.

    It also relates to holding onto the past, as if it ibetter than the present. There is a tendency to

    remember foods, actions and events from the old

    days being sweeter. Idealization of what wa

    prevents the individual from moving forward in

    their lives and being grateful for the gifts they do

    have.

    health care or psychological program. Flower essence

    will not, however, take the place of medical or psycho

    logical treatment. Do not replace your medications wit

    Flower Power for Pets to the Rescue (sm)Bach Flower Essences for Fear IssuesBy Kelly Holland Azzaro, RA, CCAP, CBFP, LMT

    Does your animal friend have fear issues? If so, you

    may want to consider trying the Bach Flower

    Remedies. Natural ower essences can be helpful

    with so many emotional issues, including fear

    based behaviors. Our animal friends can suffer from

    gunshots and thunder), separation and travel

    anxiety, phobias and more.

    Bach Flower Remedies are derived from the essence

    of a plant, ower, water or mineral. The essences

    essences are typically taken in drop form diluted by

    way of water and placed directly on the tongue or

    mouth, or placed in water to drink.

    Flower Essence Remedies are all natural, non-toxi

    and do not interfere with any other treatments

    therapies, supplements, herbs, oils etc. There are n

    animals and people. They are not a substitute fo

    medical treatment. Flower essences are

    supportive natural tool that can also be combine

    with other therapies such as acupuncture

    aromatherapy, massage and energy therapies.

    The Bach Flower Remedies were created in the earl

    1900s by Dr. Edward Bach, an English physician

    homeopath and bacteriologist. Dr. Bach wa

    searching for a more natural and holistic approac

    to healing for his patients. He also created seve

    nosodes; a homeopathic alternative to vaccines. DBach passed away in 1936. All of his works an

    wealth of knowledge is still being shared to thi

    day, and is preserved by the Bach Centre in Mt

    Vernon, England.

    What are Flower Essence Remedies used for?

    Flower Essence Remedies are typically used fo

    aspect to the positive for balance and harmony.

    Red Chestnut: over-concern for others, family

    members etc.

    Rock Rose*:panic, terror

    Star of Bethlehem*: shock and trauma

    Rescue Remedy Formula: overall anxiety, stress,

    fear and trauma

    (*These ower essences are available as individual

    remedies or via the Rescue Remedy formula.)

    With the use of any of the ower essence remedies

    it is important to note that they are not a substitute

    for medical or emergency care. Remedies should be

    used as a supportive and complimentary tool. Fea

    issues are a constant part of life, and certai

    anxious-type behavior may need the use of thes

    supportive tools on an as needed and continue

    basis. We must also take into consideration an

    outside factors that may be contributing to th

    anxiety and fear issues and behaviors. Som

    outside factors may include: new surroundings or

    new family member, change in routine or diet, th

    death of a loved one past traumas or recen

    adoption/rescue situation etc.

    Consulting with a professional Bach Flowe

    Practitioner is one of the best ways to ensure tha

    correct ower essences are chosen for you or you

    animal friend/s. A Bach Flower Practitioner will tak

    the time to do a complete consultation/evaluatio

    and work with the client to select the proper owe

    essence remedies for home use.

    Launching Your Personal Care Product BrandTim Johansson

    Finding the very best private label skin care manu-

    facturer is perhaps the single most important deci-

    sion you will make as you launch your personal care

    product brand. To assist you in this decision here

    are some things to consider:

    First, remember that you are seeking a strategic

    partner that will be responsible for the manufactur-

    ing portion of your business. You are counting on

    them to manufacture a safe and effective product.

    Finding a credible manufacturer requires due

    diligence. A personal recommendation is always

    helpful but if you do not know an industry insider

    you may consider an industry trade group. Industry

    trade groups tend to be unbiased and thus a moretrusted source of information for and about the skin

    care industry and has access to a database of

    private label skin care manufacturers.

    Once you have sourced some credible candidates

    start with the basic questions like how long have

    they been in business. Like a candidate in a job

    interview, experience in private label skin manufac-

    turing matters and you are putting your money

    your brand reputation and your formulations int

    their hands. So before you ask any other question

    ask them how many years they have been in bus

    ness.

    Next, be certain to pay attention to the service yo

    are receiving BEFORE you have a signed contrac

    The kind of care and attention that you are receiv

    ing as you explore says everything about what kin

    of care and attention you will receive after you hav

    a signed manufacturing contract. A high qualit

    manufacturer will care about your business befor

    before you are customer. If they are responsiv

    during your exploration process they are likely bresponsive when they are your chosen manufa

    turer.

    Of course the price of the private label skin manu

    facturers services matters and your ability t

    deliver your product protability will determin

    your long-term success. But also remember that th

    nished price is not always the true nished pric

    Launching Your Personal Care Product BrandTim Johansson

    Continued...page 14

    Hidden costs to your nal product cost are impor-

    tant to note and this is no more prominent than in

    the minimums that the manufacturer requires.While higher order minimums often reduce the

    per-unit cost they also require signicantly more up

    front investment capital and cash to carry the prod-

    uct as inventory. Sometimes lower minimums with

    a higher per unit price tag may actually be cheaper

    if you explore these factors. In addition some

    private label skin care manufacturers charge for

    additional services like supplying the shipping

    containers and many even reuse shipping boxes in

    a manner that risks damage to your product once it

    leaves the dock. Also, know that the geographiclocation of the manufacturer will impact the

    nished price by adding transportation costs asso-

    ciated with longer shipping distances.

    Finally, the exploration into your private label skin

    care manufacturer will deepen your experience and

    knowledge of the personal care products industry

    and you will begin to get a better sense of who the

    savvy private label skin care manufacturers are.

    These manufacturers are on the cutting edge of the

    industry and are working with the hottest brandsand helping them to launch lines with unique and

    effective raw materials. This is the manufacturer

    you want!

    Aromatherapy and Travel Ailments:Essential oils for use while travelling

    Green Valley Aromatherapy

    Ways to use Essential Oils While Travelling by

    Land, Air or Sea

    Essential oils are considered to be little miracles inbottles and are helpful in many situations. They

    lend themselves well to helping with travel aches

    and pains.

    Essential Oils and Traveling by Airplane

    When traveling by airplane remember to pack a

    basic kit of essential oils in the checked luggage.

    Oils to consider are Eucalyptus essential oil,

    Lavender essential oil, Geranium essential oil,

    Ginger essential oil, Peppermint essential oil,Rosemary essential oil and lavender hydrosol. If

    airline rules allow, keep a small bottle of eucalyptus

    essential oil and lavender hydrosol in carryon

    luggage. Current rules allow non-ammable

    materials of less than 3 ounces.

    Preventing Ear and Sinus Discomfort

    According to the American Academy of

    Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Inc., ear

    problems are the most common medical complaintof airplane travelers, and while they are usually

    simple, minor annoyances, they occasionally result

    in temporary pain and hearing loss. To avoid o

    reduce the discomfort associated with ea

    problems when traveling, deeply inhale Eucalyptu

    essential oil prior to take-off and again whe

    landing. The decongestant properties of eucalyptu

    essential oil will help to ease popping ears an

    sinus discomfort.

    Refreshing with Lavender Hydrosol

    Lavender hydrosol is wonderfully refreshing

    particularly after a long, hot ight. Use it to freshe

    up your face and for removing make-up. It may b

    used undiluted in a compress on the neck,

    shoulders and forehead to help reduce headaches,

    tension and stress. Hydrosol is safe to use on

    children so use it to wipe their sticky hands and

    faces.

    Reducing the Risk of Infection with Lavender and

    Eucalyptus

    The air system on airplanes tends to circulate

    everyones germs leading to increased risk of

    infection. Because Lavender essential oil is

    anti-viral, use it and Eucalyptus essential oil (which

    is anti-viral, anti-fungal, and antibacterial) to boost

    the immune system. Make sure to drink lots of

    water while ying and avoid diuretics and

    stimulants.

    Combating Nausea with Ginger and Peppermin

    Essential Oil

    When traveling by car, train, boat or bus, nause

    and the resulting headache are often part of th

    journey. Make sure to have some Ginger essentia

    oil at hand. Apply several drops to a tissue or cotto

    ball and inhale regularly. If a headache comes alon

    following the nausea, apply peppermint to a tissu

    and inhale.

    Aromatherapy and Travel Fatigue

    Arriving in airports after hours of ying and waitin

    around can be exhausting and overwhelming.

    Rosemary essential oil is considered a brai

    stimulant and will help to clear a foggy mind. Appl

    some to a tissue and inhale deeply. Staying health

    before and during your travels will help to minimiz

    travel fatigue. Ensure enough sleep is attained t

    heal the body, keep the immune system ghtin

    and feel refreshed.

    Whether traveling by plane, train, boat, bus or car,

    variety of ailments are sure to afflict the weartraveler. Be prepared by carrying a well-stocked

    aromatherapy rst aid kit on every journey.

    From the Aromahead Recipe Bookby Andrea Butje, LMT, Clinical Aromatherapist

    Vanilla Infused Jojoba Oil

    Buy whole vanilla bean pods and add 3 or 4 to a

    large glass jar (16-32 oz. is good).

    Fill the jar with jojoba and let it sit for about a

    week.

    Remove the vanilla bean pods and your left with

    the most luscious vanilla infused jojoba for sugar

    scrubs and other essential oil body-care products!

    Coconut, Lime, Lavender & Vanilla

    Sugar ScrubA fabulous, soft scrub for your skin

    Ingredients

    cup brown sugar

    cup coconut oil

    cup vanilla infused jojoba

    30 drops distilled lime (Citrus aurantifolia)

    30 drops lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)

    Instructions

    Combine all ingredients in a 12 oz container

    Be sure to use **distilled** Lime as the cold

    pressed lime is phototoxic.

    Notes: I like to use a PET plastic container (12

    oz or larger) and leave the scrub in the shower.

    Use a handful on your arms, legs and back. I

    don't use it on my face.

    It can make the shower oor slippery. If it does,

    I wipe the oor with a paper towel after my

    shower.

    Essential Oils vs. Synthetic ChemicalsLiliana Macedo, Integrative Aromatherapist

    Continued...page 2

    Essential oils are highly concentrated substances

    extracted from aromatic plants with medicinal

    properties. The pharmacological activity of their

    constituents, give them a tremendous curativepotential, that mankind discovered centuries ago.

    After a long time of use by apothecaries, alchemists

    and early physicians, a day came when scientists

    started identifying the chemical composition of

    essential oils, and a big enthusiasm surrounded

    these substances. They quickly learned how to

    reproduce these molecules articially, originating

    the modern industry of synthetic drug

    mass-production, which no longer needed the

    plants.

    Our organism, not used to decode synthetic and

    decontextualized elements, starts manifesting

    various side effects, resulting from that mis-

    understanding. After so many centuries, the

    pharmaceutical laboratories are still not able t

    correct this fact and, rather incomplete long lists o

    side effects, are still found inside each dru

    package we buy at pharmacies. Unlike synthetdrugs, good quality essential oils, when correctl

    used, don't have undesirable side effects and don

    leave toxic traces in the organism.

    The natural biochemical language of essential oils

    perfectly understood by our organism, whic

    positively responds to the application. The frequen

    use of good quality essential oils, promotes th

    action of the body's own healing system

    stimulating and supporting our immune system

    our vital strength.

    It should be a matter of serious reection, how

    nowadays people take synthetic drugs s

    frequently, most of the times not even trying othe

    restorative methods. Taking a pill is quick and easy

    but the quick temporary relief has a long-term

    Our negligent use of antibiotics is an example of

    how we are contributing to dangerous mutations in

    these pathological microorganisms, creating newdrug-resistant strains like the

    multi-drug resistant tuberculosis.

    Its about time that we take responsibility for our

    own health, instead of transferring that

    responsibility to our doctor or our pillbox. Its up to

    each one of us to research and learn about ways of

    dealing with our health challenges in a more

    conscientious and committed way, combining

    different approaches in an integrative therapeutic

    strategy.

    Its no longer a matter of individual concern; its a

    matter of global responsibility.
