Reiki pronounced as Ray Key, is a natural system of hands in healing used since thousands of years. Reiki is a Japanese word comprising of two parts – Rei and Ki and these are Japanese Kangi characters.

Rei means universal spiritual wisdom or consciousness –the wisdom that comes directly from God or the Higher Self. It is not only God –conscious but is also all knowing. It understands each person completely, with the root cause of the person’s problems and difficulties, and knows how to heal him. Ki means the life fource, and this is referred to by the Chinese as the chi, by the Indians as prana and by the Hawaiians as Mana. Anything that is alive has a life force circulating and surrounding it, but the life force departs when it dies.

When the life force is high and free-flowing, one is less likely to get sick, and vice versa. It animates the body and is also the primary energy of our emotions, thoughts and spiritual life. Ki is present all around us and can be accumulated and guided by the mind.

Many of the techniques of alternative healing that have become popular today trace their origin to ancient systems of knowledge. Their scientific basis and relevance in modern life are only now being recognized and appreciated by medical research.

Aroma therapy is a method of treatment that involves using essential oils to promote physical and emotional well being. It is an ancient discipline that has withstood the test of time.

This book captures the essence of aroma therapy and explains how certain oils can be effectively used to treat physical ailments. Aroma therapy is a safe and natural method to restore the balance of the body and promote good health.

The word aroma therapy means 'treatment using scents'. It refers to the use of essential oils in Holistic Healing to improve health and emotional well-being and in restoring balance to the body. Essential oils are aromatic essences extracted from plants, flowers, trees, fruit, bark, grasses and seeds. There are more than 150 types of oils that can be extracted. These oils have distinctive therapeutic, psychological and physiological properties that improve health and prevent illness. All essential oils have unique I healing and valuable antiseptic properties. Some oils are antiviral, anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, antidepressant, stimulating, relaxing, expectorating, support digestion and have diuretic properties too.

Essential oils get absorbed into our body and exert an influence on it. The residue gets dispersed from the body naturally. They can also affect our mind and emotions. They enter the body in three ways: by inhalation, absorption and consumption.

From the chemist's point of view, essential oils are a mixture of organic compounds viz., ketones, terpenes, esters, alcohol, aldehyde and hundreds of other molecules which are extremely difficult to classify, as they are small and complex. The essential oils' molecules are small. They penetrate human skin easily and enter the blood stream directly and finally get flushed out through our elementary system.

A concentrate of essential oils is not greasy; it is more like water in texture and evaporates quickly. Some of them are light liquid insoluble in water and evaporate instantly when exposed to air. It would take 100 kg of lavender to yield 3 kg of lavender oil; one would need 8 million jasmine flowers to yield barely 1 kg of jasmine oil.

Some of these aroma oils are very expensive. They are extracted using maceration. The purification process called defleurage is employed, and in some cases fat is used instead of oil. Then this process, called enfleurage, is used for final purification.

Some of the common essential oils used in aroma therapy for their versatile application are:
• Clarysage (Salvia Scarea)
• Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus Globulus)
• Geranium (Pelargonium Graveolens)
• Lavender (Lavendula Vera Officinals)
•. Lemon (Citrus Limonem)
• Peppermint (Mentha Piperita)
• Petitgrain (Citus Aurantium Leaves)
• Rosemary (Rosmarinus Officinals)
• Tea-tree (Melaleuca Alternifolia)
• Ylang Ylang (Cananga Odorata)
