Dear Christina,
This is dedicated to my customers who want to feel there very best, "Always".
If anything here I write applies to you I encourage you to print for your own records at hand.

What are PURE, THERAPEUTIC-GRADE essential oils?
Essential oils are the volatile liquids that are distilled from plants (including their respective parts such as seeds,bark,leaves, stems, roots,flowers, fruit etc.) It can take up to One ton of Plant mass matter to make one little vile of oil.

How Do you Benefit with essential oils, you may ask?
1.} Essential oils are the regenerating, oxygenating, and immune defense properties of plants.
2.} Disease begins when the cells lack the oxygen for proper nutrient assimilation. By providing the needed oxygen, essential oils also work to stimulate the immune system. (Hint) Prevention of getting sick, and get over being sick. Just to graze the surface for you, here you go.

Change Your Mind.

Last Night I experienced for the first time a 'Self Hypnosis. I have to say that this is the most relaxed I can remember feeling. Give by a friend of mine, "Art McMurtrey", who has been in demand at Hypnotherapy Conferences across the US with discussion on varied topics including his work in the Prison System, Hynodontics, a successful way to lose your fear of the Dentist, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome, to mention a few. He has been practicing for over 30 yrs. I have learned that there is more to hypnosis than learning to quit smoking or losing weight. Any problem you think about can be addressed through hypnotherapy. Art specializes in complementary and alternative health, using the team approach for health care; to help sports enhancement, especially golf. With his patients in mind, his is constantly studying and learning to improve his methods. Art has given me a gift, -n- for this I will be forever thankful for my friend. I plan on using this method as I strongly want to achieve a natural child birth. I will keep you posted on how this pans out for me. In the meantime digest this thought and know soon, but not soon enough I will be having Art coming to the shop doing Workshops on his expertise. Keep your Mantra's Happy!
