Using essential oils for relaxation and holistic wellbeing | Shehnaaz Latif

Published on: 17th January, 2022

Shehnaaz takes us through a journey of emotional and physical healing - since young,  her mom encouraged her to look at alternative medicine so she mixes ancient medicine with science to improve her holistic wellbeing. 

It is all about deeply connecting with nature. We learn about different aspects about ourselves and our bodies, about science, about alternative medicine and then connecting the dots -- holistic means treat body mind spirit all of it together. 


She calls it "Whispers of ancient wisdom" mixed with science


"you are the expert in your own wellbeing"  


And it is our responsibility to inform ourselves and to know ourselves so that we can heal holistically. 


In the episode we go through: 


1. How to choose essential oils: 


- Let your senses tell you which ones, and mix it with science. 


- Citrus are mood boosting and energizing  


- Each oil has a multitude of compounds and has multiple effects. 


2. How to pick a high quality oil


- Natural vs chemical oils. Beware of hormone disruptors and check that what you are actually getting is the essential oil


- Certified and tested oils. Did you know there are oils that you can use in water (but only the legally certified to do so.


3. How to use them well 


- Pause, breath, deep breath in


- Use the oils you can trust  to create my perfume and home aromatizer. 


4. Align your chakras with the use of essential oils


 - Oils support the opening of the chakras 


- For example, for the throat: speak your truth, and use a combination of oils that can help you


5. How do I get started and choose my oils? 


- Have a conversation with someone who uses them


- Identify the things that you are challenged with


- Give it a go!!
