Role of Essential oils in Uplifting Health!

“The universe is the body of God; every particle in it is filled with God, His glory, His might, His inscrutability. Essentially, there is no conflict between man and creation; just as a child is entitled to enjoy the milk from its mother and the bee is entitled to enjoy the honey from flowers, there can be no objection to man enjoying the resources of nature…Man should realize, there should be no excessive indulgence.”…Sathya Sai Baba¹                                   

1. What are Essential oils?

Potent plant extracts: Essential oils (hereafter referred to as e-oils) are complex organic compounds derived from plants that are naturally rich in phytochemicals capable of combating viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. They are most commonly extracted by steam distillation, a process that requires vast quantities of plant material to produce a small amount of oil. For example, about 25 kg of lavender flowers yield just one 100 g of oil, while nearly 500 kg of rose petals or lemon balm are required for the same quantity.

Because of this concentration, e-oils are highly potent, aromatic, and considered powerful botanical medicines. They possess a much stronger fragrance than the plants from which they are derived and contain higher levels of active constituents. Made up of very small molecules, they are readily absorbed through the skin, enter the bloodstream quickly, and may support healing processes. Generally, essential oils are not intended for ingestion and may be toxic if consumed without expert supervision. Their most common and safest applications are topical use (after dilution) and aromatherapy, one of the oldest natural healing practices.^1-5

1. 2. “Frequency” of essential oils and of Human Body

All matter, plants, animals, and the human body, is composed of atoms and molecules that vibrate at specific measurable frequencies, referred to as molecular vibrations, measured in hertz (Hz), or cycles per second. Any imbalance in these frequencies may influence physical or chemical functioning.^6-8

2.1 Physical frequency of the human body

At a physical and measurable level, studies using electroencephalography (EEG), which records brain-wave activity, show that the human body operates within a frequency range broadly between 4 and 13 Hz or more, depending on the body part, posture, and physiological state. These brain waves include - Delta (0.1–3.5 Hz): deep sleep; Theta (4–8 Hz): relaxed meditation and prayer; Alpha (8–12 Hz): calm, relaxed alertness, and Beta (13–30 Hz): active thinking and wakefulness.

Research has shown that individuals with learning or attention difficulties may exhibit reduced 13 Hz activity in certain brain regions, affecting sequencing abilities and mathematical processing.^6-8

2.2 Cellular vibrational frequency and essential oils

Some non–peer-reviewed studies suggest that essential oils possess exceptionally high vibrational frequencies, reportedly ranging from 52 to 320 megahertz (MHz). These frequencies are believed to create conditions in which disease-causing organisms and negative emotional states may find it difficult to thrive. When absorbed through inhalation or topical application, e-oils are thought to support healthier overall vibrational states in the body.

For instance, rose oil, often cited at around 320 MHz, is widely used in aromatherapy. One study on rose oil inhalation reported an increase in grey matter volume in the brain, supporting cognitive function and potentially reducing dementia risk.^7-10

2.3 Vibrational frequency and health

It is believed that the higher the body’s vibrational frequency, the lower the susceptibility to disease. According to some reports, a healthy human body may exhibit an average cellular frequency of about 62–72 MHz, while a drop to around 58 MHz may increase vulnerability to common infections such as colds and flu. Further declines have been associated, in theory, with more serious illnesses. While essential oils can help harness the protective and beneficial qualities of plants to support physical and mental wellbeing, it must be clearly stated that there is no robust scientific evidence confirming a direct increase in human cellular or vibrational frequency through essential oil use.^7,8,11

3. enefits of Essential oils

Many essential oils are recognised for their ability to reduce inflammation, ease nausea and pain, relieve stress and anxiety, alleviate headaches, support skin and hair health, improve mood, enhance alertness and performance, and promote restful sleep. However, these benefits depend greatly on how the oils are used.

Although generally considered safe when used correctly, essential oils are highly concentrated mixtures of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and may cause irritation or adverse reactions if used indiscriminately. Even a single drop can have a powerful effect. To maximise benefits and minimise risks, proper dilution is essential.^2,5,12

4. Role of Carrier oils

Carrier oils are derived from the fatty parts of plants, such as seeds, nuts, or kernels, and are used to dilute essential oils before topical application. They help enhance absorption, reduce the risk of skin irritation or allergic reactions, and ensure safe use on the skin and scalp.

Among the many available carrier oils, commonly used ones include almond, argan, arnica, castor, coconut, grapeseed, jojoba, neem, olive, and rosehip oils, each offering distinct skin and hair benefits.^5,13-14

5. Commonly Used Essential Oils

There are more than 100 essential oils known for their therapeutic properties, including support for infections, pain relief, skin conditions, nervous system balance, and emotional wellbeing. Some of the most widely used oils include bergamot, chamomile, clary sage, clove, eucalyptus, frankincense, ginger, lavender, lemon, peppermint, rose, rosemary, sandalwood, tea tree, and thyme, each valued for specific physical or emotional benefits.^2,5,15

6. Safety Guidelines 

• Never apply essential oils directly to the skin or tongue.
• Always dilute: a safe range is 0.5–2.5% (approximately 3–5 drops in 30 ml of carrier oil).
• Perform a patch test before full application; avoid broken or sensitive skin.
• Keep oils away from eyes, mouth, and intimate areas.
• Store oils in dark glass bottles, away from children and pets.
• Discard oils if their smell, colour, or consistency changes.^2,5,13-23

7. Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is the most common use of essential oils. Much of the available research focuses on individual oils. When multiple volatile compounds are combined, secondary pollutants such as formaldehyde may form, potentially causing irritation of the nose, throat, or lungs. Hence, it is advisable to choose oils clearly labelled “for aromatherapy use.”

Safer methods include diffusion in well-ventilated spaces, dry evaporation using cotton, or gentle steam inhalation. Direct inhalation from the bottle is not recommended, especially for individuals with asthma or respiratory conditions. Prolonged exposure to high concentrations may affect heart or lung health, and aromatherapy may not be suitable for individuals with dementia or loss of smell.^{2, 17--23}

8. Practical Tips

• Select oils appropriate to your individual needs; consult a healthcare professional if you have medical conditions or are on medication.
• Use oils sparingly and intermittently rather than continuously.
• Exercise extra caution with children, pregnant women, elderly individuals, and those with compromised immunity.
• Avoid using expired or improperly stored oils.^{2, 17-23}

9. Important note for Sai Vibrionics practitioners

Essential oils, due to their strong aroma, can interfere with the subtle vibrations of Sai Vibrionics remedies. It is therefore advisable to keep essential oils at a safe distance from remedies and to maintain a time gap of at least one hour between their use and vibrionics remedy.

2. Workshops & Seminars

AVP workshop 26-28 Nov 2025, SVIRT office, Puttaparthi

Twelve participants, eleven from India and one from the USA, qualified as AVPs* and reverentially took their oath before Swami on 27 Nov. They expressed gratitude for the enriching learning journey that began in Aug 2025, under the guidance of their e-course teachers and two senior trainers. The face-to-face workshop included live clinics that provided valuable practical exposure and hands-on training in preparing remedies in different mediums. The participants appreciated the opportunity to interact directly with patients and gain practical insights into building rapport, sensitively eliciting case details, planning treatment, selecting appropriate combos, administering remedies worshipfully, and maintaining diligent patient records.

During the valedictory session, the founders shared words of guidance and inspiration. Dr Aggarwal emphasised that self-transformation is the true purpose of vibrionics seva, reminding participants that healing flows through love, humility, purity of thought, word and deed, and complete absence of ego. He reiterated that it is Swami who heals, while the practitioner serves as an instrument, supplementing the remedy with sincerity, faith, and compassion.

Deeply inspired, the participants expressed heartfelt gratitude and resolved to sustain the enthusiasm generated during the course. One participant volunteered to coordinate monthly meetings for the batch, to be guided by mentors in rotation.

  3. Our Collective Centenary Offering to Bhagwan

Deciding on a gift for our beloved Lord on His 100^th Birthday posed quite a challenge. After much contemplation, we chose to present a compilation of vibrionic seva contributions from practitioners across the globe. This initiative was first proposed in the March/April 2024 newsletter, leading to the formation of three dedicated teams tasked with collecting, refining, and editing the submissions. Our heartfelt intention was to showcase the work of as many practitioners as possible worldwide.

Initially, contributions were sparse, but thanks to the tireless efforts of the teams in reaching out to practitioners and inspiring them to share their experiences, we began to see submissions trickling in, though still falling short of our target. It wasn't until late October 2025, crossing all deadlines, that we experienced a surge in write-ups. The teams worked diligently through the nights to prepare everything for publication.

Challenges persisted, including the difficulties with artwork and missed printing deadlines. However, we have learned that when we surrender in faith, the Lord often intervenes at the last moment. Ultimately, on November 19th, we sent the final material to the printer, and an initial batch of books was delivered to Puttaparthi on 23 Nov. Our task then was to bring the heavy parcels into the ashram amidst the surging crowds and almost no vehicle access. Fortunately, SVP ⁰²⁶⁹⁶ one of the governors of SVIRT arrived and successfully facilitated the delivery of the books to S4-B1 where this offering of gratitude was made at the altar, culminating in a cake-cutting ceremony led by Dr Aggarwal and the UK coordinator, later shared with all visitors and attendees of the AVP workshop.

On 25 Nov, we were honoured to offer the books at Swami’s Sannidhi. On the men’s side, Dr Aggarwal presented the books, while on the ladies' side, Hemji and VTs ^10375&11422 had the privilege of making this offering. We extend our eternal gratitude to the Lord and to everyone who contributed articles and supported this project over the past year. We also appreciate the assistance from those outside of Sai Vibrionics who stepped in to help us meet our tight deadlines.

    4. Camps & Clinics

    4.1 Gayatri Vidyaalaya, Neredmet, Hyderabad, TS, 3 Nov 2025

At the initiative of Practitioner ¹¹⁶²⁷ and facilitated by the Service Coordinator of Sainikpuri Samithi, an awareness program was organized on 3 Nov 2025 at Gayatri Vidyaalaya, a school established in 1999 with a current strength of 198 students. This inaugural event drew a large gathering of 70 parents, teachers, and students, and began with an introductory session highlighting the benefits and precautions of Sai Vibrionics.

This was followed by a vibrionics health camp, during which Practitioners ^{11563, 11614 & 11627} attended to 32 patients suffering from a wide range of ailments, including diabetes, joint and body pains, digestive disorders, sleep disturbances, allergies, migraine, skin, eye, and ear conditions, as well as stress-related issues. The school staff extended wholehearted support throughout the program. Since its inauguration, the camp has been held regularly on a fortnightly basis, conducted on the first and third Mondays of each month by the same dedicated practitioners.

4.2 Vibrionics Seva at Prasanthi Nilayam Railway Station: A Special Centenary Offering

Since 2009, a vibrionics medical camp has been held every year at the Prasanthi Nilayam Railway Station on the occasion of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s birthday. During Swami’s Centenary Year celebrations, this humble seva was offered on a much larger scale, with the camp conducted for ten continuous days from 15 to 24 Nov 2025 instead of the usual three.

Led by SVP ⁰¹²²⁸ and supported by a dedicated team of 10 practitioners*, the camp served 3,325 patients, rendering a total of 234 seva hours. Devotees arriving by trains since early morning were lovingly received, their health concerns patiently heard, and appropriate vibrionics remedies provided. The most common ailments treated included colds and flu, gastrointestinal complaints, and body pains.

The practitioners were deeply moved to witness vibhuti materialising from two photographs of Swami throughout many days of the camp, continuing until the final day, experienced by all as Swami’s silent blessing and acceptance of this centenary offering. Photographs could be taken only sparingly, as the practitioners were fully engaged in serving the continuous flow of patients. Yet the sweetness of the vibhuti and the sanctity of the moment remain etched in the hearts of those who witnessed it.

Thank You, Beloved Swami, for granting us this rare and sacred opportunity to serve at Your doorstep and for blessing this seva with Your unmistakable presence.

*Registration nos:  01228, 11660, 11658, 11623, 11650, 11587, 10782, 11659, 11624, 01448. Brigitte Teisseire, though not a practitioner, lovingly rendered seva for seven full days. Vizag practitioners supported the camp by sending ready-filled bottles for easy dispensing.

    4.3 Inauguration of Vibrionics Camp at Alkapuri Samithi, RK Puram, Hyderabad, TS, 28 Dec 2025

While serving at the vibrionics camp at Puttaparthi Railway Station on 23 Nov 2025, Practitioner ¹¹⁵⁸⁷ received valuable support and many referrals from a devotee from Alkapuri Samithi he had just met. On their return to Hyderabad, the Convener of the Samithi, readily accepted their proposal to start a Sai Vibrionics camp at the Samithi premises where they already host regular homoeopathy and allopathy camps on Thursdays and Sundays.

On 28 Dec 2025 at 9:30 am, the camp was inaugurated by the Samithi convenor, and Practitioner ¹¹⁵⁸⁷ gave an overview of vibrionics to a gathering of 50 participants. A total of 26 patients were treated for various ailments including joint and back pains, BP, diabetes, respiratory and digestive disorders, skin allergies etc. The Sai volunteers extended excellent support and hospitality, ensuring the smooth conduct of the camp. The program concluded at 2.30 pm. The camp will be held once a month on every 4^th Sunday.

    5. Anecdotes

5.1 From the Diary of Dr Jit K Aggarwal – Lost Memory Restored in 2 days: A Vibrionics Wonder!

It was May 1995 when my friend Robin came to our weekly Sai bhajans in Oxford and shared some distressing news. His 47-year-old wife, Anne, had suffered a severe fall from her horse and, as a result, had completely lost her memory. The doctors at the hospital gave a rather gloomy prognosis; they warned that her memory was unlikely to return, and even if some recovery occurred, it could take up to two years.

Robin had only recently joined our Baba group and eagerly awaited any news from Prasanthi Nilayam whenever I returned to Oxford. On that particular occasion, I excitedly shared my recent discovery of vibrionics, then known as vibropathy, explaining how Swami had personally guided this healing method and blessed the Sai Ram Healing Vibration Potentiser, a prototype of which I had built and taken to the ashram.

Though sceptical, yet clutching on straws, Robin was keen to try this treatment for Anne. I prepared NM25 Shock, a remedy that fascinated me greatly at the time. To our astonishment, just two days later, Robin called in utter disbelief and said, ‘Anne’s memory had been completely restored’. To be honest, in those early days, I myself was stunned by such a dramatic outcome. To this day, Robin continues to turn to vibrionics whenever he faces a serious health challenge.

5.2. IB - A Breath of Fresh Air in Our Lives

The Practitioner^{11669…India} often has discussions on health and wellness topics with a couple (aged 60, 54) in his neighbourhood, during their morning walks together. In Dec 2024, the husband mentioned feeling low on energy and physical vitality, particularly on days when their morning walks were missed. The practitioner had just qualified as an AVP and suggested trying IB (Immunity Booster), especially as winter was approaching, a time of the year when Bengaluru experiences a rise in viral infections and seasonal illnesses. The couple readily agreed. Over the next three weeks, the effects of IB were not only noticeable but deeply encouraging; they experienced marked improvement in energy level, sleep quality, and overall wellbeing, free from infections of course.

In patient’s own words: We feel blessed to have been introduced to the Immunity Booster by our friend. After taking it for just 20 days, the results have been truly remarkable. We experience a fresh surge of energy and strength, improved metabolism, better sleep, and quick recovery from seasonal infections. Along with these physical benefits, we have also noticed psychological changes, greater calmness, reduced stress and anxiety, and a clearer, more balanced perspective. These positive changes are not only felt by us but have also been noticed by people around us.

This simple yet powerful experience highlights how IB, when taken regularly, can support both physical resilience and emotional balance, even in individuals without major illness, making it a valuable preventive tool in daily life.
