Topic:  Beyond Aroma:  The Remarkable Therapeutic Potential of Essential Oils - Science, Clinical Evidence, and Practical Applications.

Aromatherapy – the science and therapeutic application of pure essential oils – has really stepped into the limelight in the last decade.  In their pure state, essential oils are some of the most concentrated natural extracts known to man, exhibiting a fascinating array of significant and immediate therapeutic actions.  These include antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anti-depressive, antibacterial, and hormone-balancing effects, as well as calming, sedating, uplifting, and positive emotion-stimulating properties.

In clinical practice, essential oils have been shown to have a profound influence on the central nervous system, helping to reduce or eliminate pain and release muscle tension. The chemical structure of a pure essential oil allows it to rapidly penetrate cell membranes, travel throughout the body, and enhance cellular function.  For health professionals who have used pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils in their practice, it is very clear that the oils have an unmatched ability to enhance results for their clients.

In this workshop, Izabella Tabarovsky will summarize research and clinical evidence underlying the modern practice of aromatherapy.  She will discuss how hospitals worldwide are incorporating aromatherapy into patient care, share clinical pearls from her own practice, and discuss how anyone can safely use essential oils at home for optimal health and well-being.

Please come prepared to enjoy the tantalizing and healing aromas of some of the pure essential oils that we’ll be discussing first-hand.
