To properly combine herbs and essential oils, it’s important to understand different therapeutic categories of medicinal plants, and whether they're compatible with the unique characteristics of the highly concentrated aromatic oils.
For example, aromatherapy works at a deep level in the nervous system — yet essential oils do not work safely (or effectively) at deeper organ or tissue levels, which is where complementary herbs can help.
David will share with you some of the formulas, reasoning, and rationale to help you understand why specific herbs and oils are used together... and how to combine them for exceptional results.
For example, to effectively treat specific health conditions, the underlying principles of both herbal medicine and aromatherapy enable you to use both, safely and effectively. David will touch on these principles as well during this free event.
Whether you’re a plant medicine novice or an experienced practitioner, you’ll receive scientifically backed information and practical guidance for combining essential oils and herbs. You’ll also be among the first to hear about an upcoming program with David, which will give you a deeper understanding — and simple instructions for daily applications — of this powerful, innovative method.
