2. Aromatherapy
& Herbalism
Imagine if a whiff of a particular scent could shift your mood, reduce stress levels, or provide you with a dose of much-needed zen. This is the fundamental belief behind aromatherapy, an ever-growing wellness trend. Aromatherapy is considered both an art and a science. Recently, it has gained more recognition in the fields of science and medicine.
Aromatherapy is a holistic healing treatment, considered complementary medicine, that uses natural plant extracts to promote health and well-being. It employs aromatic essential oils medicinally to improve the health of the body, mind, and spirit. It enhances both physical and emotional health while promoting relaxation, a sense of well-being, and healing.
Some studies suggest that aromatherapy can benefit our sleep patterns, help us cope with anxiety and depression, and improve the quality of life for those with chronic health conditions and pain. It can also help relieve certain side effects of cancer and its treatment, such as nausea and vomiting.
Since aromatherapy is a complementary therapy, you should still consult a doctor and follow medical instructions when necessary. That way, your essential oil therapy can be tailored to work in conjunction with any medical care or treatment you’re receiving.
You may wish to meet with a trusted aromatherapist, especially when you’re first getting started with aromatherapy or if you have specific issues you’d like to address. Let us guide you through the aromatherapy path!

Uses & Facts
How Does It Work?
When absorbed through the skin, essential oils enter the bloodstream and affect the nervous and lymphatic systems, among others.
The molecules of an odor interact with the receptor proteins of cell membranes, thereby creating physiological changes, such as relaxation or stimulation.
How Old is Aromatherapy?
The use of plant oils can be traced back over 6,000 years. Ancient cultures in China, India, Egypt, and elsewhere recognized the therapeutic properties of essential oils and plant extracts.
Is It Safe?
Most essential oils are safe and free of adverse side effects when used properly. However, as with any substance you are introducing into your body, it is important to use them intelligently. That's why it's so important to have the help of an aromatherapist to create the right formulas and dilutions for your health problem or specific condition (pregnant women, nursing mothers, kids, and pets).

Herbalism
Herbalism uses plant treatments to restore health and harmony without using unnatural or possibly harmful drugs. Herbalists focus on the whole person and the underlying causes of the illness, not just the symptoms.
Here at The Universe Stuff, we cover the holistic herbal healing part. We care about how your physical body and its mental, emotional and spiritual aspects can be cared for with the help of Mother Nature.
Herbs can be part of your daily life in so many ways. You can comfort your body and sooth your mind with a cup of herbal tea. You can also benefit from herbs with energetic baths. They promote energy cleansing and bring balance to the body, mind and spirit.
Spiritual & Energetic baths can be used for different purposes besides cleaning and balancing as you can see in our store, and their ritual brings a connection between the 4 elements of nature and the fifth element: the Spirit.
The Earth element is represented by herbs, the Water element through the bath, the Fire and Air elements through candles, incense, and their smoke (commonly used for the energetic bath ritual), and the Spirit element through you and all the Spiritual forces that govern your life.
Spiritual & Energetic Bath
Why are they SO special?
01
Energetic Bath is MAGICAL
Water is magical and has the power to hold your intention and heal you.
You should know that your body is made up of about 60% water, while the blood that runs through you is 90% water. Water does a lot for us; it transforms, calms and nourishes us in ways we are often unaware of.
02
Energetic Bath HEALS
Therefore, energetic baths combine the healing and supernatural power of water with various herbs, spices, flowers, fruits, minerals and essential oils to improve quality of life and to influence self, others, conditions and the environment.
03
Energetic Bath is SELF-CARE
You'll step into the bath like a person and come out refreshed. You'll feel clean on all levels, grounded and inspired. And taking a spiritual bath is a beautiful act of self-care to treat yourself to, especially if you're feeling tired, stressed, overwhelmed, or anxious.
