The Rise of Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is defined as the art and science of using aromatic plant compounds aimed to harmonize the physical body, mind and spirit. It is a type of alternative medicine that uses varied essential oils to promote health and well-being.  

The term aromatherapy was not used until the 20th Century. But the bedrock of aromatherapy dates back several thousand years ago.

The Chinese perhaps have been the first people to utilize aromatic plants by burning incense to help create an atmosphere of harmony, peacefulness, and balance.

Then the Egyptians came, who created a basic distillation device that allowed the process of heating and cooling to extract oils from different plants. Many of these extracted oils have been used to preserve their dead.

During this period, it is believed that the Persians and Indians have also created primitive distillation devices.

The Greek people mastered a handful of skills from the Egyptians and Chinese but at that time, many of their oils were used as perfumes to their gods. During the Greek era, it is believed that Hippocrates of Kos, known as the "Father of Modern Medicine" practiced fumigations from aromatic plants for medical welfare. Having the basic foundation of knowledge by virtue from the Greeks and Egyptians, the Romans advanced their skills to develop the process of distillation. They were known for lavishly rubbing perfumes to their bodies, and applying to their garments and bedclothes. It was also a way of life for the Romans to use oils in baths and massages.

During the 14th century, it is recorded around 60 per cent of Europe’s entire population were killed due to the disastrous disease known as the Black Death. At that time, the use of aromatic essential oils had been so extensive to fight the terrible plague killer. It is believed that some perfumers may have avoided the disease by their constant exposure with the aromatics.

There is no exact recorded order of chronicle as how aromatherapy emerged on earth, but their long history of use has been advanced in several other countries in Europe, Asia, the Americas, and around the globe to benefit its healing power and energy; and their use has never ended until these days.

And for today’s rise of knowledge on the use of natural compounds, essential oils have been beneficial as complementary to modern medicine.

The Art of a Home Business Based Business

Let me bring you to journey with me why I was lured to joining “EnerUp World Inc”, a direct selling company duly licensed to operate here in Canada. I was a successful Restaurateur in my home town, Roxas City, Philippines before I came to Canada. Business was excellent but a stroke of fate prompted me to pursue a career in Canada to help finance my ailing wife.  She died eventually and I have to find a way to be able to support my two daughters. I was open to anything that could help fend for my current situation so I could earn an extra income to provide for myself and for my daughters whom I had left behind.  When I came to Canada I thought it will be a perfect destination so life will be much better but that was my misconception.  One job is not enough to cover your expenses where we live in a sandwich generation of providing for our own needs as well to our families back home. We need to have a multiple source of income to suffice for our needs and expectations.

This is where the brilliant idea of direct selling came into the picture. I have had invitations from my closest friends and acquaintances but one ruling factor that had convinced me to join in this career is the product and the money aspect.

Why I Joined the Business?

I learned the value of time as a working student. I worked while going to school at the same time as I wanted to be able to afford the things that I wanted without sacrificing my future. I pursued a higher education because I thought that it would help me obtain a stable income. However, the recent economic downturn revealed that a higher education does not necessarily lead to the standard of life that I desired for myself. With my increased responsibilities, simply working hard was not enough. I had to work smart. I decided to join this business as it would help me maximize the use of my time in providing income sustainability. In joining this business, I would be able to achieve financial freedom without sacrificing my time with my family and friends.

This business allows me to maximize my time and have a flexible lifestyle as all it entails is sharing the product with my friends and family. I wholeheartedly believe in Enerup’s products, as I have used them myself and have experienced their benefits. With effective, locally manufactured products like these, these products speak for themselves. As such, it is not hard to share the business to friends and family when I spend time with them.

This business also allows me to meet new people, which fit my social lifestyle. Through EnerUp, I am able to develop as a person by creatively overcoming challenges with people who support each other and share the same goal as I do.

I expect to continue to work hard as joining and maintaining a business is not easy. However, I chose to join a very promising business as it provides more flexibility than a traditional office setting. By joining this business, I also become an entrepreneur. As an entrepreneur, I have more control as to how I conduct my business. I would be more satisfied as an entrepreneur as it is through my own hard work that my business would grow. It is also very wise to invest in a business with a lot of potential while I am still young. In doing so, I put myself in a position where I can grow along with the business and could reap the benefits earlier on in my career, which would help me to invest further and diversify my portfolio of investments.

The idea that a successful life can only be achieved through the pursuit of a higher education and simply working hard is outdated. I have seen and heard of the success of entrepreneurs of great products. Enerup’s line of great and effective products allow me to become a successful entrepreneur who not only works hard but also works smart, while also being able to have a flexible lifestyle.
