Wellness with essential oils
Saturday, Sept. 14 at 10 a.m.
Stress affects our nervous system health, and long-term stress leads to disease. Three types of stressors affecting the human body are physical, emotional and chemical. Physical stressors can impair the function of your body, emotional stressors can alter your mental state and chemical stressors can cause toxicity within your body.
Essential oils enable innate and natural healing from the effects of stress. This one-hour class will discuss myriad of concerns, from ADHD to cancer to grief to infections to seizures, etc., and how you may utilize essential oils to receive natural healing sustainably.
