Do you have a question about aromatherapy or essential oils that you would like me to answer on the “Ask Liz” portion of the podcast? Leave a comment below with you question and I just might read it on the air!
Hi Liz,
I wanted to share with you my enthusiasm about your podcast! I started listening to it recently on my way to work.
I am a cosmetic chemist, I’m from France and I work in Tokyo. I’ve always been very interested by perfume and essential oil and I believe aromatherapy is a complementary skill for my job. I discovered your amazing podcast and decided to learn more about it. I was just listening until yesterday, when I heard you saying in 9th episode that beginner always wait the right moment that never comes. I got inspired and went to a specialized store. I was quite lost on were to start but I found a superb beginner kit with 20 basic essential oil. I am so happy about it! I started by making a spray to help my meditation practice!
Now only one thing to do, let’s practice !
Thank you for all you good advice and for inspiring me to evolve everyday!
Have a good day
Noémie
Hi Noemie, You’ve made my day! I love hearing that the Aromatic Wisdom Podcast has both helped to educate and inspire others to use aromatherapy and essential oils, and your story is wonderful! We are all timid to a degree when it comes to blending and I’m so happy you decided to move forward and make your first blend. I’d love to learn more about your work – what does a cosmetic chemist do? I’d like to hear more on that. Thank you again for sharing your uplifting and inspiring experience! Liz
