The VibRadiance™ organic essential oils, infused with Five Element Planetary Gem Essences™, utilize a creative synergy of Oriental medicine principles, Five Element philosophy, planetary archetypes and Western gem and essential oil theory and practice.

The Five Elements

In Oriental medicine, the Five Elements, or Five Phases, are a system of relationships which describe humanity’s connection to the environment. In primordial times, our early ancestors lived in a respectful and mutually supportive balance with nature, and not only observed, but also honored, the perennial changes of the seasons.
They understood that their interaction with the cycles of the natural world was mirrored in the internal workings of the human organism, and manifested outwardly in its most harmonious state as abundant health and well-being.

Five Element Planetary Archetypes™

As did all ancient peoples, the ancient Chinese sought to harmonize the structures and rituals of their culture with the manifold and mysterious symmetries that they observed in the heavens. They viewed the five planets of their cosmography, i.e., those that were to be distinguished from the Taiyang (the Sun) and Taiyin (the Moon), as being related to the Five Elements, and subsequently documented these associations in the Nei Jing, assigning the elements to the planets as follows:

Venus; Metal
Mars; Fire
Mercury; Water
Jupiter; Wood
Saturn; Earth

Each of us embodies a unique blending of these Five Element Planetary Archetypes™, and an identification of their key qualities can provide us with a greater awareness of our fundamental constitutional makeup, health, tendencies to react to stress, lifestyle choices and emotional balance/imbalance.

Five Element Planetary Gem Essence™

Each VibRadiance™ essential oil bottle contains a specific number of gems, which represent the essence of the particular Five Element Planetary Archetype™. The following attributes are considered to be part of the archetypal expression of the planetary gem: color, mineral content, indications, folklore and vibratory properties. The particular quantity of each Five Element planetary gemstone present in an individual VibRadiance™ essential oil bottle has been determined from a consideration of Vedic planetary yantras (magic squares).

Since time immemorial, precious stones have been used in magical amulets and talismans, and for their purely esthetic appeal as personal adornment.  In Chinese medicine, Western astrology, and especially in Vedic astrology, many of the esoteric powers of gems are considered to be a direct consequence of cosmic vibration, and they are specifically recommended to ameliorate negative influences.
 
Five Element Planetary Essential Oils™

The individual synchrony of the VibRadiance™ organic essential oil blends has been ascertained from a consideration of Western herbal lore and practice, Chinese medicine theory and Five Element principles. Each Five Element planetary blend relates to the meridian system, and each has specific actions, chemical components and healing qualities.

Aromatic plant essences have been part of the healer’s pharmacopeia down through the ages; they have many properties and target all of the body’s metabolic systems – respiratory, digestive, endocrine, circulatory, immune and nervous. They can also be used to address psychospiritual issues, and, because of their phytoestrogens, many are employed in cosmetic formulations for dry, mature skin.
