ESSENTIAL OIL

During May, I shared with my clients the advantages of essential oils. Although aromatherapy has been around for centuries, I didn't consider it helpful for health and fitness until recently.

Earlier this year, my family and I traveled to Beacon Hospital in Malaysia for a comprehensive check-up. Our decision to choose this hospital was influenced by its director, Mary, a dedicated Christian who has devoted much of her life to answering God's call to assist the underprivileged and the ill. Our primary objectives for the trip were to have our physical health evaluated and to have the opportunity to meet Mary in person.

I have been fortunate enough to witness Christ's work firsthand through Mary. She introduced us to her friend, an aromatherapist named Andrea ( Adventist Christian!), who kindly provided us with some oils to help treat my mother's head injury resulting from a fall due to vertigo. Along the way, we learned more about the wonders of essential oils.

In the Bible, oil is regarded as a symbol of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, I have a strong sense of imparting blessings and love when sharing oil with others. However, if I explore essential oils, a new field for me, I must learn from people with strong moral values. For this reason, I have chosen to follow the example set by Beacon Hospital and her team.

Andrea and I stayed in communication after our trip, and she expressed interest in attending a pain management workshop in Brunei. Despite several setbacks, we set a date for May 7th, 2023. The day prior, we picked Andrea up from the airport, and we had some concerns about her luggage during the customs screening due to the 100+ oils she brought along. However, everything went smoothly, and we proceeded with our hotel check-in without issues. We went to weekend mass for the rest of the day and enjoyed our dinner at Thiam Hock.

The workshop was held at Bright Tuition Centre, owned by a kind friend who generously allowed me to use the space free of charge. There were approximately 20 attendees present, and during the workshop, we focused on teaching them how to create their DIY pain creams using single concentrated oils.

I aspire to introduce essential oils to people who genuinely need them. I am actively developing prototypes of our OEM oil blends, specifically targeting fitness-related concerns.
