Ellen, Medical Herbalist and Aromatherapist from AmberLuna Apothecary will show you how to create two of your own personal AND effective natural remedies to take home.
Products will be tailored to your health needs: whether it's more energy, good digestion, better sleep or a calm, focused mind you need, Ellen from AmberLuna Apothecary will help you create the right remedy for you.
What’s aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is the practice of using aromatic plant extracts such as essential oils, aromatic waters and therapeutic oils to improve our wellbeing. This could be through massage, skincare products or using inhalers and diffusers. Aromatherapy works on a physical and emotional level and is considered a branch of herbalism.
What’s herbalism?
Herbalism is the wider practice of using herbs internally and externally to promote health and prevent disease. It has been used by eastern and western cultures worldwide for thousands of years. Herbalism's focus is to treat the cause of the illness holistically, and not simply focus on treating the symptoms.
