Natural medicine

I have been thinking a lot about natural medicine and the philosophy of essential oils lately. I have an idea of how they might work now:
The functions of the body drive what we feel by our 5 natural senses (sight, smell, touch, hearing, taste). But the functions of our body are also modified by sensory input from our 5 natural senses. So we can affect the functions of our bodies by stimulating our 5 natural senses. When we are ill, we can stimulate our 5 natural senses in a way to counteract what we are feeling.
This seems to make sense to me right now. I will continue to think about these ideas...

I am amazed at the range of topics my mind takes to on a regular basis. My interests seem to be in everything around me. Learning is not an activity resulting just in specialization, but also in transformation and the development of capacity - in all areas of our lives. There is something self-actualizing about learning across all domains of human experience.
