Lavender Aromatherapy - the Fragrant Pharmacy Class

Aromatherapy is the art of treating body, mind and spirit with natural aromatic substances harvested from nature's rich store.

More than a trend, aromatherapy is coming into its own as a body of knowledge and practice with specific applications that have a solid scientific base. Lavender is generally regarded as the most versatile essence therapeutically. Drawing on research and clinical studies this in-depth class will explore all aspects of Lavender for these purposes.
