    Health and Medicine Links

    As someone who has worked at a publishing company that specializes in aromatherapy books for over three years, I have developed an interest in this topic. With a bit of skepticism and some cynicism, I've delved into the world of health and found things are not all as "they" would have you believe. I'm no expert, but I've learned a few things about staying healthy.
