o   Depression often brings feelings of fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and a lack of enjoyment of things you normally find pleasurable. Mild depression keeps you from functioning well and feeling your best, but with treatment, symptoms usually subside. If depression persists despite natural treatments, seek professional help immediately (Althea, 118).

Cancer, Chemotherapy, Radiation and Essential Oils

While there is promising research on essential oils and cancer, it is important to note that at Selah Essential Oils we recommend aromatherapy (the use of essential oils) as a compliment to conventional treatments.  

As always, everything you choose to do or use should be cleared with your licensed physician before use. This even applies to massage.
