Queremos crear conciencia de cuán importante es nuestra salud promoviendo una saludable manera de vivir. Somos fruto de lo que comemos e ingerimos.

During this last trimester studying naturopathic medicine, essential oils have become my faithful companions.
Especially in the last few weeks, Laurel Leaf Essential oil has become a truly support.
Scientific name: Laurus nobilis
Its leaves are normally used as a seasoning in soups, stews, meats, and others in our Caribbean cuisine, but I have discovered very special properties for our benefit.
Its leaves contain essential oils such as eucalyptus, terpenes, and methyleugenol contributing to its flavor and aroma.
In Eastern Orthodoxy liturgy, they are used to symbolize Jesus' destruction of Hades and freeing of the dead.
Its essential oil has antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and analgesic properties. It supports the lymphatic system, and is used to treat hypotension and Lyme disease.
Supports courage, heroism, stamina, spiritual backbone, and courage to love oneself.
It is the latter that I have found support in achieving these last few weeks of my first year of my doctorate in naturopathic medicine.
