Aromatherapy for Wellbeing Series Presented April 15

Karen Balistreri will explain how to use essential oils in healing and pain management in a three-part series on April 15 at Junction Center for Yoga & Zen.

Balistreri acquired Certification in Herbology from the School of Natural Healing, in Provo, Utah in 1994 and earned her International Certification in Aromatherapy in 1997 at the Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy. She has been a Reiki Master for more than two decades and has taught in Wisconsin at Aurora Health Care, UWM School of Nursing, Marquette University School of Nursing and in California at St. Jude Hospital in Fullerton.

The workshop will cover three specific areas of therapeutic use of natural essential oils in personal, family healthcare and patient management:

• Part 1: Pain Management – A comprehensive study of essential oils that are beneficial in treatment and how to use them for pain management of the muscular, skeletal and nervous systems will be taught.

• Part 2: A Dozen Antiseptic Essential Oils for Infection Control – Learn how to keep yourself and clients safe by using essential oils in a knowledgeable and precise manner.

• Part 3: Raindrop Therapy – Raindrop Essential Oil Treatment continues to grow in popularity as clients seek to experience its profound results. This treatment of various oils is applied along the spine and the back in a systematic order to achieve greater health and wellness for the individual by the release of virus, bacteria, discomfort and misalignment of the body.
