Steam bath is one of the most important time-tested water treatments which induces perspiration in a most natural way. The patient, clad in minimum loin cloth or underwear, is made to sit on a stool inside a specially designed cabinet. Before entering the cabinet, the patient should drink one or two glasses of cold water and protect the head with a cold towel. The duration of the steam bath is generally 10 to 20 minutes or until perspiration takes place. A cold shower should be taken immediately after the bath.

Very weak patients, pregnant women, cardiac patients, and those suffering from high blood pressure should avoid this bath. If the patient feels giddy or uneasy during the steam bath, he or she should be immediately taken out and given a glasss of cold water and the face washed with cold water.

The steam bath helps to eliminate morbid matter from the surface of the skin. It also improves circulation of the blood and tissue activity. It relieves rheumatism, gout, uric acid problems, and obesity. The steam bath is helpful in all forms of chronic toxemias. It also relieves neuralgias, chronic nephritis, infections, tetanus, and migraine.

What are those little blue or brown bottles on the shelves in the health food stores?
They are called “essential oils”, but what is it, really. Let’s take a closer
look at what AROMATHERAPY really is.

The use of aromatic plant material is quite ancient, about 5000 years old and was lost, but
resurfaced in the last few decades, specially in France, Italy and England. The father of
modern aromatherapy is the french chemist Rene-Maurice Gattefosse, who came up with the term
aromatherapy and used it as the title for his book, which was published in 1937.
He was extremely interested in how the essential oils worked on the skin cosmetically and
medically. A french doctor, Jean Valnet, was very impressed with his book and in world warII
he used essential oils to heal and disinfect wounds. In 1967 he published his book,
“Aromatherapie, Traitement des maladies par les essences des plantes”. Valnet is teaching,
in particular medical doctors, how to use essential oils. From France it came to Enland,
Marguerite Maury and Micheline Arcier, students of Valnet, introduced it there. Nowadays aroma-
therapy is very popular in the UK, even the royal family is very open towards aromatherapy.

Between 1920 and 1930 scientists in Italy were doing research regarding the effects of essential
oils on the psyche. In 1922 Dr. Renato Cayola and Dr. Giovanni Gatti published an article on the
effects of the essential oils on the system. Professor Paolo Rovesti from the university
of Milan did research into the psychological effects of the essences. He used essential oils to
treat patients with depression and hysteria. He recommended mixtures of the essential oils.
To treat depression for instance he used a mixture of Yasmin, Sandelwood, Orange, Verena and
Lemon. For anxiety he used, Bergamotte, Neroli, Cypress, Petit Grain, Lime, Rose, Violet leaves
and Majoran.

Aromatherapy is not the end of all diseases but it can certainly be a great complimentary therapy.
Aromatherapy works well with most other therapies and particularily well in combination with
Bach Flowers, but doesn’t work at all with Homeopathy. When essential oils are used in combination
with homeopathic remedies, the remedies will not work. While under homeopathic treatment essential
oils should not be used at all.

Aromatherapy might not cure terminal illness but it is a great way to bring a natural scent into
your home. To give you a few examples, citrus oils, like Lemon, Orange or Mandarin give a room a
happy and alive feel, Sandelwood or Patchouli can give a moody, mysterious feeling.

And as an inhalation for the common cold and cough it can bring great relief.

The original idea of getting ps146 compliance training was a good concept. After getting the ps146 compliance, the plan was to go for an interview with AMP. AMP was at that time hiring junior financial planners but since I had no experience, it was a long shot. The only way I could get in to the financial services industry was to go for this. In no way was I was going to give up. Ready, set and go. I went into the room expecting to be bombarded but I didn’t realise that I was ready for this. My facilitator for the diploma of financial planning was in the room. I felt a little bit easier. Yet a little bit surprised. Guess how I actually felt. Yes. I felt like the sky was falling. The interview went on for ten minutes before they finished up with me. It was pretty general questions about how a role play was to be performed and gave me a few scenarios. Fortunately for me, the course prepared me well and I was able to go through the questions pretty easily. I guess after the technical questions, they were just looking at my personality perhaps and asked me about the moon and the sky. I gave the best I could and after a week or so, I had a call telling me I was accepted in.
