Renew Your Mind

I love making products and receiving feedback (even constructive criticism). While studying towards my Zoology degree, we did a course in phytotherapy - the use of plants as medicine. This delves into the realm of traditional medicines, old wive's tales, shamanism (also known as a sangoma in Africa) and other ancient remedies that have been discarded for the more scientific and processed drugs. I

realised that science, while a useful tool, does not have ALL the answers. But, having a scientific background I still believe in the scientific method and evidence based studies. I took my interest in natural medicines along a more popular direction, studying Aromatherapy and Reflexology. By applying my studies in Zoology and Environmental Sciences to the field of Aromatherapy, along with some natural curiosity and a fair amount of good old fashioned (new fangled) cyber-sleuthing, I have found some very interesting information. Maybe you will find it interesting too. While my interest lies in Science and Aromatherapy, I am not willing to eliminate God from my life. Aromatherapy has a lot of eastern philosophy mixed up with it and I aim to untangle that aspect and provide a Christian basis for aromatherapy. After all, God made all things: plants, their chemical composition, their physiological attributes, and He inspired the science of discovery of their uses and extraction.
