I originally recorded these two lectures for the Aroma Summit 2023 (a 5-day online aromatherapy conference by Naturopathic CE).

I share them here because I think that you will find them useful and interesting.

If you would like more info about AromaSummit2023 then please click here. The recordings are still available to purchase.
