We are still in the midst of winter, but at least the days are getting longer and the snow drops are pushing through telling us that spring is on the way. We have taken our Christmas trimmings down and are now decorating for Valentine’s Day.

Christmas was very busy for Green Valley. Everyone seemed to want to get on board with this ‘new’ healing therapy. The popularity of aromatherapy continues to grow.

Since we added the retail store to our business in May of 2016, we are now available to more retail customers. It is amazing what you learn from them and it is exciting to be able to help them on their journey to learn all about aromatherapy. Many new customers have been to, or have had home parties. They get excited about the nice aromas but many do not understand the full value of essential oils or the cautions. There are a lot of books on aromatherapy and of course we have the internet to turn to for information. However, it is not always easy to tell the accuracy of the information on the internet. All of the books that Green Valley carries are from trusted authors.

Grapefruit’s general properties include antidepressant, detoxifier, digestive stimulant, diuretic and emotional stimulant. Rose Geranium is an antidepressant, is uplifting, calming and emotionally balancing.
