38. Aromatic Medicine: The only medicine you can apply directly to the brain with Dr Bo Hendgen

Join us as we explore the vast and glorious world of Aromatic Medicine. Essential oils have been used for centuries in religious ceremonies, medicinal settings, and beauty therapy. They are powerful plant extracts that can directly access your brain! Essential oils can sometimes get a bad wrap, labeled as 'woo woo' and alternative - in this episode you'll learn how essential oils are far more than just 'pretty smells' but can be used to treat illness and disease. We are joined by Bo Hendgen, a Doctor of Osteopathy and a Naturopathic Physician with 42 years of experience.

She founded her company, Absolute Essential Ltd, in 1989—a company built on strong sustainability principles to promote health and well-being for our global future. Her company is one of a kind, producing its own professional prescription blends of pure, certified organic essential oils and carriers from the best of the world's medicinal plant harvests.
