Alchemy and Essential Oils

 Hi!  Lisa Franklin here, aromatherapist and owner of Alchemy Massage and Bodyworks and Alchemy Crystals and Aromatherapy.  I have been fascinated with herbs since my teens and when I discovered essential oils in my twenties, it was love at first sight!  Small, portable, powerful concentrates of all the plants I didn’t have room for in my garden!  After 40+ years of studying herbs, plants and essential oils, I finally took the time to take a 750 hour aromatherapy course to be recognized officially as an aromatherapist. 
Some of you may know me from previous partnerships with Complete Wellness, others of you I have not had the pleasure of meeting – yet.
Currently my line of essential oils is available at Complete Wellness.  There is a wide variety of 19 different essential oils for sale at reasonable prices.  Each variety comes in a 10 ml bottle, double the industry standard of 5ml.  All essential oils are researched, sourced, purchased, bottled and labeled by me…well, to be honest, my husband does the labeling sometimes – he loved to label my various products…and who am I turn thwart someone’s desire to label bottles???  He is a huge help, much neater and tidier than I am in getting them placed properly on each bottle.
Each essential oil is chosen for its’ efficacy, fragrance, and purity.  I do not do the distillation process as I am not trained nor skilled in that process.  Instead, I look for reputable sources to purchase quantities of essential oils.  I want the essential oils to be of the best quality I can buy and keep at an affordable price for my customers.  If I can purchase organic and/or pesticide free, I happily do so.  Not all essential oils are grown, harvested and processed the same.  It varies based on the plant, the grower, the country and the supplier.  It’s quite a maze to navigate sometimes.  With the current state of manufacturing and distribution it makes it difficult to order things regularly. 
With each newsletter I hope to provide you with a short description of an essential oil and a recipe of some sort to share with you.  So, stay tuned and check the next newsletter!
 
Also, I will be teaching essential oil classes at Complete Wellness through the end of the year.
