But what does FREEDOM look like or mean? Who do you know who suffers from low back pain? Who do you know who seems more distant than they used to be? Who do you know who comes across as being an aggressive asshole? Men struggle with emotional and mental health issues as much as women do. The biggest difference is that men are less likely to share about that internal struggle and seek help. In this inability or uncertainty of opening up and disclosing their internal turmoil, they often find themselves trapped. Trapped in a life that is unfulfilling, in a life full of actions they know they don’t want to be doing, a life of regret, a life of fear, a life of loneliness. To make things worse, when we have unresolved emotional trauma or issues, it can often lead to physical health problems. The good news is men don’t need to remain trapped. They don’t need to struggle alone, they don’t need to remain in that regret, fear, loneliness, or in their struggle. It is possible to remove that mask! There is freedom from emotional and mental health challenges as much as physical challenges. At Brotherhood ARomatics, we are focused on helping Men achieve FREEDOM! We want to see men realize their full potential. We want them to understand that it’s ok for them to reach out. It’s ok for them to seek help, and take care of themselves. We want them to know they aren’t alone! Aromatherapy is a unique method of achieving this freedom because of our physiology. Because our sense of smell is the only sense directly wired to the emotional centre of the brain, aromatherapy is able to help the brain process unresolved emotional trauma or issues. One of the beautiful things about this therapy is that it can occur on a subconscious level. It doesn’t require men to sit in a circle holding hands and singing kumbaya! It can be as simple as using an aromatherapy inhaler, or applying a topical blend of essential oils in a carrier, or receiving an ARoma Massage.
