ARGH!! Hormones - here we go! Essential oils can play a major role in mitigating and soothing those raging chemicals in the body, and some of the situations they can cause such as painful menses, acne, and anger. We will also experience oils that can serve study aids, aid in mental focus, ease over worked muscles from sports activities, will help with confidence building and many other situations.

February 5 - Eclectic by Nature, Greensboro, NC (1 PM - 2:30 PM)
The last in this series - Elder Care & Special Populations
Ah, caring for our parents, elder relatives and friends can be particularly challenging both for the care recipient and the care giver. Common concerns are agitation, anxiety, pain management, unwanted weight loss, sundowning, insomnia, memory and social stimulation. All these conditions can be eased through the use of essential oils without the unwanted side effects of psychotropic and sedative medications, increasing the quality of life. And, I fully believe that the care giver deserves relief too, so we'll be addressing that also.
Reservations required, call EBN at (336) 373-0733 Cost: $15 Must have 3 or more for the class to proceed.
