Aromatherapy
For centuries essential oils have bridged the gap between ancient medicine and modern science, but it's only now, during the twenty-first century, that science has started uncovering what our ancestors already knew; Essential oils are more than just lovely fragrances.

Herbal Remedies
"Herbalism is a practice found in every culture worldwide that uses plants to help people as an effective part of a holistic approach to mind-body-spirit care. It is noteworthy that the first written records of herbal medicine appear on Sumerian clay tablets dated over 5,000 years old, and archaeological evidence suggests that medicinal plants were used as far back as 60,000 years ago. We’re old friends, for sure. Quite simply, people and plants are meant for each other." --The Herbal Academy of New England
