When we pursue happiness, it eludes you. However, when you recognise that happiness is the natural state of the soul, all you need is to eliminate all that comes between your happiness and you.
Since long there has been a continuous search for newer and harmless methods
cure for stress and stress-induced diseases. Various therapeutic methods
of Naturopathy
are found to minimize the effects of stress such as unfocussed anxiety,
depression, hypertension, chronic lethargy, infectious diseases and neuro-hormonal
imbalances. Natural elements such as colors, aromas of plants, herbs (our
site) and flowers find their use in treating stress related disorders.
In the last century French chemist Rennee Maurice Gattefosse developed
aroma as a therapy when he discovered the therapeutic power of essential
oils extracted from lavender flowers. At present, nearly fifty varieties
of essential oils distilled from plants and flowers are used for healing
various health disorders, especially stress-induced ones. As part of holistic
assessment, a patient's physical conditions: digestion, sleep, and support
system, are taken into consideration including the conditions of heart,
mind and spirit. The oils prevent the stress effects and precipitate the
healing of diseases by increasing a sense of well being in the patient.
Aromatherapy
also incorporates other complementary therapies such as acupuncture, acupressure
and massage to increase the effectiveness of the essential oils.The
sedative effect of essential oils on the central nervous system promotes
emotional release and reduction of physical and mental stress (muscle
relaxation, anxiety, tension et al).The medicinal effect of aromas can
stimulate the digestive and glandular functions. Now aromatherapy
has also found wide clinical application all over the world.
The Bach Flower therapy seeks to address the perturbed spirit caused by
stress and set right the resulting disorders. "This remedy brings
us nearer to our souls and by that very act bring us peace and relieve
our sufferings," defines Dr Edward Bach, the British homeopath and
the father of this flower
essence therapy.
When
the soul is disturbed due to various external demands, its inherent noble
virtues such as courage, love, equanimity of mind, humility and strength
take a back seat. This gives rise to negative qualities such as possessiveness,
fear, indecision, depression, impatience, cruelty and hate. This 'dis-ease'
state of the soul, as explained by Dr Bach, should ideally find its cure
in the same sphere itself.
Bach
flower therapy uses 37 archetypal soul states in flowers and plants whose
therapeutic applications restore the balance in the soul and the defiled
mind-body (personality). It primarily addresses the emotional and spiritual
issues of a patient, but eventually alleviate psychosomatic symptoms induced
by stress.
For its effectiveness, the flower essence relies on the vibrational energy
of the plant. It has 38 remedies (37 with flowers plus one with rock water)
in its repertoire. Bach flower therapy believes that a flower is a plant's
regenerative organ, a harbinger of life itself.

Color is another component of naturopathy, which is applied to relieve
stress-induced physical and psychological disorders. Colors, among many
other things, influence our moods and behavior. Every color is said to
have a specific emotional effect on people. For example,the blue color
is said to have soothing and calming effect on our nerves. And the yellow
color stimulates our intellect.
Therapists use these color aspects to restore our mind-spirit balance
and to stimulate the healing processes in body. Color with acupuncture
is used as the method of color puncture for clearing emotional and energy
(chi/Qi/life force) blockages restoring healthy energy in stressed out
mind-body.
