Last week I attended a wonderful intensive on a subject I am deeply passionate about -
French medical aromatherapy.
French medical aromatherapy.
Our class included many spirited nurses, naturopaths, herbalists, and aromatherapists. Rhiannon Lewis is the lovely and brilliant instructor who came all the way from France to share her knowledge. We were incredibly grateful to Rhiannon (pictured below) for making the trip.
Here's a glimpse at some French medical aromatherapy supplies and medications . . .
After 4 days of studying chemistry, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and much more, it was exciting to finally begin formulating! Here we are making sure our measurement is exactly precise . . .
Our class formulated essential oil remedies in the form of ointments, inhalers, gels, oral capsules, sublingual tablets, suppositories, and more . . .
We also managed to get out and briefly explore Canandaigua . . .
It was an intense week of study, but a friend and I managed to make it to Niagara Falls on our day off!
