What Are The Best Essential Oils For Menopause?
We Asked The Expert
When we wanted to know what the best essential oils for the different needs of menopause were, we asked the master.
Dr Bo Hendgen DO ND AM was born in Germany and raised in France where she studied aromatic medicine. In addition, Dr Bo’s a doctor of osteopathy, a naturopathic doctor and she holds a PhD in paediatrics.
Aromatic medicine is the science of therapeutic plant oils and Dr Bo subsequently used her knowledge to create Absolute Essential. This is a company that designs 100% organic plant oil products of the highest therapeutic value.
