TIPS
"Aromatherapy is a very expensive modality. A tiny half-bottle of jasmine can cost $30 wholesale. Pure oils will always be in amber or cobalt-colored glass bottles. If all the oils are listed at the same price, they have probably been diluted with jojoba oil., which is not bad, but if you mix your own, you need pure." -- Mary Brown. Brown is available for therapy, lectures and workshops. She may be reached at (330) 568-0419.
