Have you ever heard of the Aroma Tree? There are many different systems and ways in which one can begin to learn the subtle yet therapeutic science of Aromatherapy, and the Aroma Tree model is one of them. This model classifies essential oils according to the different parts of the plant from which the essential oil is extracted, with each part representing certain therapeutic, psychological, and energetic properties. The Aroma Tree is an introduction to Aromatherapy, a way to understand essential oils in a more simplified yet profound way. It is based on the concept of the Doctorine of Signatures, however unlike the Doctrine of Signatures which focuses primairly on the physical appearance of a plant and its associations with the human body based on appearance (example heart shaped flowers are remedies for the heart, a walnut looks like the brain, so is a remedy for the head/mind, etc), the Aroma Tree model is more complex and it helps to 'recognise the many patterns and relationships between the physical wualities, aroma, phgarmacology, chemistry of essential oils and the part of the plant it comes from.' This wall poster, shown in the picture, is a beautiful image of the Aroma Tree showing: - Roots - Rhizomes - Wood - Resin - Fruit - Seeds - Leaves - Flowers A QUICK (not exhaustive) summary of each of these parts of the plant and therefore the 'energy' behind the essential oil which comes from said plant part: - Roots: calming, cooling, mystery, grounding, nourishing. - Rhizomes: courage, digestion, stimulating, warming - Wood: balance, calm, courage, insight, protection, relaxing, strength, wisdom. - Resin: incense, meditation, purification, sacred, spiritual, wound healing - Fruit: creativity, detoxifying, digestion, hepatoprotective, positivity, uplifting, vitality. - Seeds: creativity, detoxifying, digestion, growth, hepatoprotective, spicy, vitality. - Leaves: analgesic, antimicrobial, breathing, cephalic, confidence, digestion, energy, focus, metabolism - Flowers: compassion, confidence, relaxing, reproductive system, sensuality, sexuality, skincare, uplifting
