David Crow – Combining Herbs & Essential Oils

Receive expert insights into the science behind combining herbs and essential oils — when to combine and when not to — to treat common health conditions.

Equip your home pharmacy with essential-oil-and-herb pairings… including protocols to help heal the respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems.

Safely integrate commonly available herbs and oils… in easy applications backed by centuries of empirical evidence and modern scientific research.

Are you feeling stressed or tense as a result of biochemical imbalances or life’s challenges (or both)?

Maybe you’re experiencing a low level of anxiety throughout the day, making it difficult to sleep at night…

Sipping lavender tea and inhaling diffused lavender oil can be a calming dual-remedy — and this is only one of the many herb-oil combinations for treating nervous system imbalances.

You can also pack a lot of healing power into specific herb-oil combinations to address common (as well as chronic) health conditions…

There are also plenty of pairings of essential oils and herbs that can help you detoxify.

These remedies are readily accessible, easy to combine, and are beneficial additions to your home pharmacy.

Yet, you may be wondering…

Should you apply a particular remedy to the skin, drink a tea, use an essential oil in a diffuser, take a tincture of an herb, or use steam inhalation of an oil?

What are the correct dosages of the herbs, the proper dilutions of the oils, how long should we use them, and are there contraindications or potential herb/drug interactions?

To guide you, we’ve invited plant medicine pioneer David Crow to share a concise, yet comprehensive “Home Formulary” — his first-ever training on integrating medicinal plants and aromatherapy.

In this in-depth 8-part training, David will address these questions in clear language — and share the science, protocols, and do’s and don’ts of integrating herbs and essential oils to:

• Reduce stress and tension
• Address nervousness and irritability
• Improve sleep

• Heal hydrochloric acid imbalances and esophageal reflux

The key to increasing the therapeutic power of both herbs and oils is learning which to pair — and how to apply them safely and effectively.
