Olfactory neurons have the ability to regenerate, which is rare within the nervous system. New neurons in the nasal cavity must project axons to the olfactory bulb within the brain itself. Olfactory Ensheathing Cells surround the growing axons, assisting in their regeneration and also engulfing debris from dead and damaged cells. The ability of OECs to promote neural regeneration has led to studies of their potential in the treatment of spinal cord injuries and the neurodegenerative disorder amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

What Does a Session Involve?

  1. Initial assessment concerning diagnosis, symptoms reported by client, medications & goals

  2. Custom essential oil formula based on intake information

  3. Receive & review exercises as well as instructions for using blend
