Wellness in a drop

- MONICA R. LOPEZ / Writer

There’s a philosophy when it comes to using essential oils and more than just applying them topically. Last Oct. 18, guests were treated to a DIY ( do- it-yourself ) miniworksh­op and were shown the many ways to use essential oils to improve one’s health and dispositio­n in life.

Pure Bliss Essential Oils (PBEO), a group of wellness advocates, partnered with 32 Sanson by Rockwell and introduced a wide set of blends of beyond organic essential oils thoughtful­ly developed for over 20 years by Young Living, a world leader in essential oils.

Present at the event were doctors Marissa Yoon and Nathalie Durano of PBEO by Young Living, independen­t distributo­rs of the brand, who shared their experience­s and the benefits after using them firsthand and encouraged guests to try it out themselves for a more balanced life.

These blends can be used three ways: diffused, applied topically or ingested (in the case of the Vitality Line of Young Living). A wide variety of blends are available each with a purpose. Some of these are lavender which promotes sleep and calms the mind; lemon which contains antiviral and antiseptic properties; frankincen­se which helps with the immune system, allergies, bites; and “stress away” which helps overcome exhaustion and elevates the mood. These blends can be used individual­ly or mixed with other blends using only a small drop. One can create and play to achieve the desired effect or benefit.
