Instructor: Beth Schrager

If you’ve been asking yourself “What are essential oils?”, this class will give you a brief
overview and introduction to essential oils. Essential oils are not just a pretty scent in a
little dark glass bottle that only your crunchy granola friends use. Essential oils are
highly concentrated natural oils in plants coming from their roots, leaves, stems,
flowers, or bark.

Essential oils have the characteristic fragrance and properties of the plant from which it
was extracted and contain the essence of the plant it came from. This includes the
smell, but also the plant’s healing properties and other plant characteristics. We will
discuss how a highly potent extract of a plant can be useful for many purposes from
healing to stress management to other everyday uses. Did you know you could cook
with essential oils? You will learn how to use them in your kitchen and in your cooking. I
will share which 10 Cooking Essential Oils you may want to consider adding to your
pantry right away. Each attendee will leave with a gift/sample included in the price of the
class.

The second class offering will touch on how to use essential oils in your fitness routine! The class will not touch on how to use oils in your cooking.
