The average person applies 300 chemicals to their body EVERY SINGLE DAY! We are literally poisoning our families everyday with the stuff we can't pronounce thatis inside ofthese products! Health and safety data only exists for about 15% of all chemicals outthere, even though so many are known to cause health issues.
Essential oils are a better way! They are totally pure, steam distilled or cold pressed from pure plants. There is nothing in them other than the oil itself! During this free class we will go over what essential oils are and how to safely use them on your children.
