So even if you're just using essential oils for room spray, putting a little bit in your shampoo, or for any superfluous reason, you're already increasing the health of your body by increasing the amount of oxygen it gets. Fitzsimmons has been practicing aromatherapy for the past 9 years. She owns Aromatherapy Solutions, a custom essential oil blending business. During the school year, she also teaches a course at the Williamson County Recreation Center in Franklin. I want them to start using essential oils because once they start seeing the benefits they receive, they could significantly change the overall health of their lives.
Essence describes the concentrated oil of various flowers, fruits, herbs and plants.
She said using essential oils is even more beneficial than buying ready-made products in a store. Now, you can have a product that doesn't need additives or buffers, so the chances of negative side effects are reduced. Fitzsimmons recommends a starter kit of 12 oils that can be mixed and matched to create hundreds of blends. Fitzsimmons said she is available to make presentations and teach classes to groups of at least eight at any location. Fitzsimmons will discuss and sign Aromatherapy Through the Seasons at Davis-Kidd Booksellers on Thursday, June 7 at 6 p.m. This event is free and open to the public.
