Home Apothecary
In the spa setting, we often apply products topically to absorb through the skin and soothe muscular and joint discomfort. We also access the central nervous system through the olfactory organs utilizing aromatherapy to facilitate relaxation and shift from a sympathetic nervous state (fight or flight) to a parasympathetic nervous state (rest and digest). As your own bodyworker, you can holistically influence all of your tissues and body systems through what you put on and in your body. Working in luxury spas in CA, CO, NV and IL, I’ve been fortunate to offer clients pure, indigenously sourced, fair trade, and sustainably harvested active plant oils that we would call “cutting edge” if they had not already been used therapeutically for thousands of years. Using oils distilled from plants, that our bodies have evolved with and whose chemical constituents our bodies recognize and know how to utilize, you can biochemically support your musculoskeletal system along with all of the physiological systems and processes that influence it.
