immediately afterwards to help the flushing process.

stems, roots and flowers of plants. They can be used aromatically, topically and internally for
food preparation, beauty treatments and health care practices. At our home, we reach for the
“magic box” of oils when we are dealing with anything from poison ivy to digestive issues, sore
muscles, the flue and beyond!

draining your energy, and creating day to day symptoms including weight gain, headaches,
