Aromatherapy: How Nature is Our Own Therapy

This is a conversation about aromatherapy and aromatic gardening: what it is and how we can benefit from it. Our guest is Amy Anthony, a certified aromatherapist and educator, herbalist, certified master composter, and artisanal distiller. Amy thrives on connecting with nature and working with plants. She has her own practice in New York City, and is one of the leading authorities on the best essential oils for supporting wellness and vitality. What are the benefits of aromatherapy? Why does our sense of smell play such an important role in our well-being? And are synthetic oils and fragrances as good as plant-based oils? We tackle these and other important questions as we explore how different smells and fragrances enhance our lives.
