Essential Oils 101
Please watch this space for future essential oils classes. Pre-registration is required – www.DoverTwpRec.com
There are about 300 oils on the earth, but you only need 10-20 of them to get started. You don’t need to be an aromatherapist to use them safely. There are several ways to use essential oils and thousands of reasons why. Come learn the hows and whys of essential oils.
We will touch base on essential oil history. We will find out if they work. Are they safe? There are different categories of essential oils. Are they authentic? Have they been manipulated? Are they synthetic? How are they made? Come find out the answers to these questions and many more.
At the end of the class, get scanned with The iTOVi, a class II medical devise that will scan you and tell you what essential oils your body needs for your health and wellness.
We are looking forward to seeing you and sharing some very valuable information about essential oils.
Hosted by Michele Hummel, Young Living Wellness Coach
