David Crow – Ayurvedic Aromatherapy

Discover the practical, time-tested healing powers of Ayurvedic methods for using essential oils to restore your energy, increase your vitality, foster optimal wellness and advance your spiritual growth.

Are you ready to discover how to use essential oils to enhance your immune system, cultivate more life force, dispel inflammation and relax your mood?

Then you’ll want to know more about Ayurveda, an ancient healing science from India that gives us a sophisticated understanding of essential oils and their effects on our physical and subtle bodies.

Ayurvedic practitioners have long married insights into the energetic levels of our being with practical wisdom on how our body functions, as well as the effect our senses have on our body.

Ayurveda could be said to be a system of “eco-physiology,” meaning that it describes the functioning of the body in terms of ecological and environmental phenomena. These include cosmological energies such as agni (solar heat and metabolic fire), soma (cooling and moistening lunar influences), the pancha mahabhutas (five elements of earth, water, fire, air and space), prana (life force) and the gunas (sensory qualities and mental states).

Using these systems and concepts, we can classify the wide range of essential oils into broad categories of therapeutic functions, which allows us to easily learn and understand the primary nature of these oils so that we can apply them safely and effectively.

What is the Right Oil for Your Energetic Type?

Central to Ayurvedic practice is a recognition that true health requires balancing our constitutional type, or “dosha,” with the right combination of diet, activities and specific remedies.

The primary doshas are vata, pitta and kapha, and there are 15 sub-doshas underneath those three. Each dosha requires a different approach to balance or support it in order to create the foundation for radiant health.

Addressing and correcting imbalances in your system results in enhanced vitality, a resilient immune system and calmer emotions.

Put simply, you feel better!

That’s because when you get out of energetic balance, your system becomes dis-harmonious and prone to disease and dysfunction. Something just feels “off.” You might become moody, sluggish, depressed or anxious, depending on your dosha type.

For example, vata types are prone to feeling ungrounded and cold, with flighty temperaments, unless they are properly balanced. Pitta types can get too fiery and emotionally unstable, whereas kapha types are prone to sluggishness.

Left untreated, imbalances in our energy system can sabotage our health and undermine our optimal performance.

That’s where essential oils come in. They offer one of the easiest ways to put us on the path to good health.

The aromatic substances in essential oils can have a profound effect on our body, emotions and mind, helping to trigger the brain and immune system to respond in specific ways. There is now solid research that shows that aromatic compounds trigger our neurochemistry in specific ways, which then affects how our whole body relates to stressors.

Ayurveda illuminates how these effects are related to different constitutional types. The same oil might be aggravating to a pitta person or soothing to a kapha person.

This level of specificity enables us to customize our approach to healing and well-being. We can begin to diagnose HOW we are out of balance and apply specific, non-invasive essential oil remedies that revitalize us and restore our balance and natural health.

A Breakthrough in Healing on the Subtle Levels

In the exciting brand-new online program, Ayurvedic Aromatherapy, you have the chance to learn from David Crow, one of the most respected botanical medicine pioneers in the world, who will teach you how to approach healing safely and effectively with essential oils using Ayurvedic principles.

Note that while we will study ancient remedies specifically from the East, we’ll also explore how to apply an Ayurvedic understanding to essential oils that were not even known in ancient India.

You’ll discover what’s important for each energetic type as well as how to receive the most benefit from specific remedies using oils such as rose, vetiver, sandalwood, agarwood, jatamansi, lentisque, dwarf juniper and helichrysum.

You’ll understand how to improve your concentration and memory, ground and calm yourself, heal your circulatory system, treat skin conditions, access higher consciousness and much more. You’ll also discover how to reduce stress and promote deep and restorative sleep.

On a practical level, you’ll explore the safe topical and diffuser applications of oils as well as how to use aromatic baths, medicated oils, steam treatments and other therapies inspired by Ayurvedic methods.

We’ll also go beyond formulas to a much deeper, richer and more multi-faceted understanding of medicinal botanicals. In the modern West, we’ve been raised to think of plants as objects that exist chiefly for our pleasure and consumption. We use them to nourish our bodies and beautify our gardens and homes.

The truth is that plants, and the essential oils we derive from them, are so much more than that. They can help us evolve on many levels. They can detoxify our bodies, purify our minds, rebalance our emotions and reboot our energy. They can help us heal disease and expand our vision. Plants can also reveal to us an entirely different relationship with the natural world.

As you learn to open to the deeper blessings of plants through the wise use of essential oils, you can receive more of their healing and medicinal powers and put yourself on a path to higher consciousness.

Ancient seers, mystics and healers discovered many hidden aspects of the plant kingdom and passed down that knowledge in the Ayurvedic lineage. Now you can harvest the best of this healing tradition to create a new, expansive and natural approach to healing for your health and wholeness in David’s new 7-module program.
