Intro to Medicinal Uses of Essential Oils

Essential oils are a wonderful way to incorporate plant medicines in your everyday life. During the winter months, when fresh medicinal herbs are not available, essential oils offer a way to use the many benefits of the plant medicines. Learn how to harness these benefits of natural plant essences in their most potent and pure form.

Participants will learn:

How essential oils are made
Essential oil safety
Various application types
Medicinal properties of the oils
Everyday applications for essential oils
Simple recipes that everyone can use

There will be hands-on activities and each person will take home a small essential oil bottle with a custom blend.
