Aromas have barakah , goodness and transformational power, when you use them mindfully and with the right intension.

Working with lemon, both the fresh fruit and essential oil can help you focus and clarify thoughts. I realized that for reaching my personal goals I need to concentrate my efforts more precisely to things that most require my attention.

Aromatic plants and our relationship with them continues to be my passion. Through this page I have shared my reflections about aromatics with others, perhaps also hoped to ignite your intrest towards them - there are so many beautiful ways to work with them for your health and happiness!

The hundreds of posts I have shared continue to be available to you but for now on I will continue my work in private.

It has been wonderful to have you here! ♥️

With love,

The aromatic energy of Lemon creates space through light, providing perspective, clarity and detail.

Quote by Peter Holmes, Aromatics, Volume I

Homemade lemonade is an enjoyable way to benefit from the aromatic goodness and baraka of lemons.🍋

Refreshing, energising and excellent for your digestive system!

Using fresh juice of lemons is also far gentler alternative to adding lemon essential oil to your drinking water.

Citrus essential oils, especially cold pressed lemon and lime can easily cause irritation and sensitivity when used topically or internally, so caution is the best way to avoid unnecessary problems.

Summer is perfect time to diffuse oils from the mint, citrus and floral families.

During my travel to Morocco I used lemon essential oil in inhalation. It is refreshing and helps with travel sickness.Holding it on energy point Pericardium 6 eased nauseous feeling.

Light spritz of geranium hydrosol felt cooling and rejuvenating. Keeping cool and hydrated is especially important in hot temperatures.

What are your favourite aromatic allies during this hot time of the year?

"Bless the ability of life to persevere and flourish.
Bless all that endures.
Bless the part of me
that faces challenges yet perseveres.
Bless the life force
that keeps me growing,
expanding, and creating."*

While inhaling the aroma of Fennel express your intention and ask it to be blessed.

The Aroma Energy of Fennel supports emotional and physical fortitude, expression and creativity.
That is the barakah in fennel, Alhamdulillah.

Fennel, Foeniculum vulgare essential oil is a great match after traveling or heavy meals, whether you have celebrated Eid or participated in a summer barbeques during this weekend.🙂

I have been using Fennel, Foeniculum vulgare essential oil to invigorate circulation, energy levels and digestion.After couple of applications with Fennel essential oil I have felt more energetic, fortified and able to focus on tasks at hand.

How I used Fennel's circulating, sweet and pungent aroma energy for transformation:

1. In inhalation from cupped hands
2.on top of my head on energy point Governing vessel 20 for clearing and calming the mind
3. on energy point Stomach 36, about hand with below the knee to settle digestion and energize
4. on energy point Kidney 3 in the inner ankle for grounding and strengthening
5. In a warm compress on abdomen for stimulating digestion

If you don't have the essential oil, get some fennel seeds from your supermarket and chew them. They freshen your breath, invigorate your energy and improve digestion.

Notice that use of Fennel essential oil is not the best match for you, if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, have sensitive skin, suffer from endometriosis, epilepsy, kidney problems/stones, cancer or take blood thinning drugs.

My Eid celebrations have included fun family time, lots of lovely food and sweets, and several outings to local gardens and parks. Lovely break, Alhamdulillah.

Today is the last day and last Friday of June and the last day of Eid Al-Adha and I wanted to diffuse something simple, refreshing, clearing and light.

Lemon essential oil with its sweet, invigorating and expansive lemony aroma is perfect and it was also among the oils in my intuitive selection. Breathe it in and you can feel the clarifying and invigorating effect almost immediately! Brilliant!

Let the baraka of aromatic plants to nurture your heart and lighten up your soul.

Have a blessed Friday! 💛

"Above the lowly plants it towers,
The fennel with its yellow flowers,
and in earlier age than ours,
was gifted with wondrous powers,
lost vision to restore.

It gave new strengy, and fearless mood;
and gladiators, fierce and rude,
mingled it in their daily food;
and he who battled and subdued,
a wreath of fennel wore."

While looking for information of fennel I discovered that it's name comes from the Latin, foenum, a variety of fragrant hay. It is an ancient medicinal herb that was thought to offer total cure and make people younger, stronger and healthier, so it's fortifying affect has been appreciated since time immemorial. Fennel is a lovely looking plant too, the flowers tower high up against the blue sky, just like Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, an American poet describes.

Marking the longest daylight time of the year, the traditional Midsummer bonfires burn today and throughout the weekend, lighting up the nightless summer nights in the Nordic countries.

Summer is our warmest season, time of the energy of the fire. Nowadays we often associate fire with destruction and punishment, so it is important to remember the blessings in it. Lighting up natural incense always brings forth these positive sides of fire to me. Fire gives life joy, warmth and also maturity. The emotion associated with fire phase is happiness.

Fire is associated with movement, intensity and also with excess of energy. Too much fire manifests itself in headaches, dry mucous, thirst and fever. Extreme fire can lead to hyperactivity, inflammation of the joints, infections, diarrhea, constipation, anxiety and insomnia.

Balanced fire element enriches your life, helps you enjoy your relationships and opens you outwards to be more receptive to others.

Fire element organs in your body are heart, small intestine, pericardium, and the the triple heater, which regulates internal body temperature.

My relatives in the north have been complaining about the heat of the summer, they are not used to it. Too much heat can be also straining to the heart.
To maintain healthy levels of fire, protect yourself by staying out of hot midday sun and drink plenty of fluids, cool footbath or shower can feel great too.
Enjoy the blessings of summer season!

My first intuitive choice for gaining back balance, focus and strength after traveling was the essential oil of Sweet Fennel, Foeniculum vulgare. This culinary plant we have had growing also in Alkanz Estate garden. I love the pungent, sweet aroma of the seeds and the essential oil extracted from them, infact the whole plant has a similar anise-like aroma.

If you scroll down my earlier posts you find a description of Fennel essential oil mentioning, how it can encourage your body's natural detox process, balance fluid retention and help to break up cellulitis. I mentioned it can be used also for pain relief for aching joints and particularly effective with helping to ease digestive discomforts.This oil is mentally stimulating, helping you to focus and get things done.

Looking at energetics you can find, that the sweet and pungent Fennel essential oil has stimulating, circulating and warming aroma energy. This explains why it is excellent for digestive system and repelling dampness and dispelling heavy and sluggish feeling. It is also known to increase courage, stamina, motivation and clarity of mind, activating energy flow and bringing fortifying harmony.

Looks like a good match for what I need!
