The last time that Northeastern
Junior College offered a course on essential oils, more than 40 learners
gathered in the Tennant Art Gallery in the student center to find out more about
this topic. As they passed around the various oils, the interest level piqued
when the instructor noted that whatever scent you kept returning to clearly
represented something your body likely needs. This summer, the Extended Studies
Department at Northeastern will once again offer such a class.
During a class to be held on Monday,
June 17 and Tuesday, June 18th, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. nightly,
instructor Jan Scott will help her students investigate over 50 essential oils.
This class will begin with a brief history of essential oils and then will cover
a number of uses for them, including gardening use, weight loss applications,
ways to purify the air and how to replace a medicine cabinet with body-friendly
oils which boost the immune system. Oils have long been credited as being
alternative medicine for the healing of many ailments. The two-night class will
address the physical and emotional effects of essential oils and their uses
topically, internally and aromatically. Various diffusers will be examined.
Recipes will be given such as; deodorant and soothing blends for children. Cost
of the class is $40. Students wanting to enroll must do so by Thursday, June
13th by calling 521-6900.
