We are settling in to Greatness...

As the end of yet another week comes to a close, we at the Aromatic Institute are getting our groove on. We are settling in to the new studio and ready for full formulations.

There have been several themes whirling around with clients and customers as of late. One is "Busy mind syndrome," that keeps you from sleeping fully, which creates a depleted immune system, which will lead to sickness. I want to let you know of one of our Inhaler Blends called "Night Night Sleep Tight." This synergestic remedy is perfect for the busy mind as it grounds you and allows your mind to rest on one thought, sleep.

The next the swirling and whirling is a result of the above syndrome, which is a weakened immune system. We have a blend called "Enviro Support," which is available in an Inhaler, a Room and Body Spray and a Diffuser Oil. This remedy has incredible boosting essential oils and great fighters of germs to support and assist in restoring your body to optimum.

I am pleased to offer you a coupon for 20% off your next order at Aroma Pharmica. Simply type the word "Thanks" in the coupon section of the checkout process and you will be well on your way to natural health and wellness. Enjoy, be well and laugh often!

Until next time,

New blends, New Day, New, New, New...

As we all continue to flow through the energies of late, I have been blessed with the assistance of nature through the use of incredible plant botanticals in the form of essential oils.

As the Aromatic Alchemist, I was commissioned to create a collection to assist in the dramatic shift that we are all experiencing in some way, shape or form. We are each creating new realities that serve our highest good, which has created uneasiness, fear and uncertainty for many.  This is because we are entering into a new spectrum of the rainbow that we have never experienced before. This color is Purple. We have lived in the Red aspect for the last 1000 years, no wonder we are feeling unsure.

Aroma Pharmica has just released these to be masses, it is called the Power Up Kit. Now you can conquer, release, replace and renew with ease while smelling incredible AND creating powerful immune building components to your incredible vessel.

Essential oils are God's greatest gift to us as they are energetically comprised of the plant from which it came, thus empowering wee mortals with the components and constituents that have sustained and survived the elements. Embrace the gifts, continue to grow, life your very best life now, 'cause we only get one go in this Earth School.

Aromatic Kisses and Heavenly Wishes,

Getting over the Big Box Image of Aromatherapy

In the United States, big business has created an image that Aromatherapy comes in a Glade Plug-in, a Yankee candle or a Phthalate filled reed diffuser. Most Americans are not privy to the medical application of Aromatherapy where certain essential oils have powerful anticancer activity with tumor cell specific cytotoxicity.

With that being the thought process, Aromatherapy's image problem is this: when people hear or see the word, they believe it has to do with "the smell of things, rather than the things that smell."

Aromatherapy is the complete branch of medicine that uses the chemically volatile constitutients of plants for treatment of a wide variety of ailments.

I will tell you just as any other professional Aromatherapist, the incredible medical promise of Aromatherapy does not reside in their pleasing aromas, but rather in their ability to treat a wide range of infectious illnesses like MRSA, their action as chemotherapy agents, anti-inflammatory agents, wound healing agents and other medical applications.


Aromatherapy is making huge advances in the scientific community through the studies and research of the medical therapeutic applications of essential oils.  Vital studies are being released every month showing the strong efficacy of certain essential oils in treating serious bacterial infections.

Now, when you google Aromatherapy, thousands of results come up and there are sites that belong to allopathic professionals who chalk it up to New Age spiritualism or folklore.  With very limited investigation, aroma medicine has been lumped into the psycho-emotional aromatherapy healing. Many of these practitioners of conventional medicine have chose that natural medicines are ineffective at best. The well educated natural therapist is not necessarily being recognized by our traditional medical system and the FDA demands that instructions for these treatments be in the most vague form possible.

The ONLY reason Americans correlate Aromatherapy and Glade Plug-ins is there is a lot more money pushing the Glade Plug-in concept. Essential oils can not be patented as medicines, which means big business profits are negligible.

Gone are the days of Granola crunching, Peace loving hippies being the only people to benefit from nature's medicine. I, Heather A. Howell vow to educate and provide natural medicine in the form of essential oil infused products, Aroma Pharmica to every human being on this planet.

You need to know that plant medicine has kept human beings alive for millennia.  Essential oils provide a system of medicine support that is in biochemical harmony with the human body. Essential oils are just very active molecules produced by plants and Aromatherapy is so called as it deals with the therapeutic applications of these aromatic molecules.

Now you have it, an article that properly informs you in the versed truth of Aroma medicine. Pick up your phone, search the internet or email a trained professional Aromatherapist and be on your way to wellness, Naturally.
