17. Aromatherapy in the desert

As soon as I arrived in Timbuktu, I had the opportunity to help people with my “Aromatherapy First Aid Kit“.
Belly pain, sore throat, joint pain etc …
I have called my way of healing with essences “first aid aromatherapy” for a long time because the ailments that I can cure disappear immediately, often in a few minutes.

Seeing the effectiveness of my perfumes, people confided in me asking me how to treat the most common ailment in Timbuktu: hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoids make the people who are afflicted suffer a lot from them and they make their lives miserable.
Luckily I know a very effective essence and I have dealt with this problem several times.
It is the essential oil of cypress, distilled from the fruits of the tree that have the shape of hemorrhoids.
After 3 days I ask the people for whom I prepared the cypress oil  and they are very happy. They are jumping like deer and relaxed and smiling.

An amazing result of aromatherapy here in Africa is that I went from a European diet and from clean water to African food (including street food) and well water without the slightest intestinal disturbance while it is known that a European cannot do this without suffering inconvenience for 2 weeks. It is because I don’t drink water without adding 2 drops of mint essence per liter in a bottle that I shake well before use.
Even Ibrahim no longer wants to drink water any other way, he says that without my medicine, water no longer quenches his thirst. He made me promise to leave him a bottle of mint before leaving.

I also use a splash of “Bacetto” in my mouth every time I eat food of dubious cleanliness.
Against the cold infection with which many people I frequent are affected, the “Bacetto” has been 100% effective.
For malaria, the Anti-Shark was more than enough to keep mosquitoes away from my bed.
