Essential Oils with Blanca DePaul

On Monday's show I am excited to welcome Blanca DePual into the KOOP Studios. Blanca is going to share with us about the use of therapeutic grade Essential Oils. Essential oils are volatile liquids extracted from plants. Oftentimes, it takes an entire plant or more to produce one single drop of essential oil. This is what makes that one drop of oil so potent and at the same time, so expensive to distill. The oil of the plant is its “life force.” It is the “blood” of the plant and is called essential because without it, the plant would die.

Blanca is the founder of a shop here in Austin called Herbs and Things, which is located at 204 E. 53rd Street. Herbs and Things specializes in Therapeutic grade Essential Oils, but also carries herbs, spices and Teas.

Blanca DePaul has a Master's in Education and a Bachelor's in Comparative Linguistics from Temple University. She turned to whole food nutrition after a bout with cancer in the mid '80s. She eventually used this new-found knowledge to switch careers and to become a holistic nutritionist which she has done for the past 20 years. Her studies have included everything from studying Chinese herbal medicine to Live Cell Microscopy. Through her work with live blood analysis, she awakened to the powerful healing capabilities of organic herbs and therapeutic-grade essential oils. Her subsequent focus has been on the study of herbal remedies and aromatherapy for transforming the physical, spiritual, and emotional body.

Tune in and learn all about this delicious aspect of Herbal Medicine, Blanca has a wealth of knowledge, and it promises to be an interesting and very informative half hour!
