Welcome to Natural MD Radio, your place to hear the whole truth on health and medicine for women and children and get the tools you need to take back your health naturally starting now.

I'm Dr. Aviva Rong. Four decades of experience in the natural products industry and healthcare industries have made

Mindy Green, my my guest today a genuine national authority on botanicals.

Mindy has been involved particularly with herbs and aromatherapy both as an esthetician, herbalist, and aromatherapist since the 1970s.

This woman has legacy.

She is incredibly respected throughout the herbal world and the aroma therapy

world having served on the board of directors of the United Plant Savers from 2004 to 2010 in the Botanical Research Division of

R&D as the clinical aromatherapist developing functional blends and providing

training on essential oils for a Veda corporation and she has

taught extensively at both massage colleges, aroma therapy schools, herbal conferences, and

universities and colleges throughout the country.

Mindy is someone who believes that plants in all their forms create healing globally and individually.

She's a prolific writer and individually.

She's a prolific writer and lecturer

who's committed to sharing this information

with all of us and has authored over 65 published articles

on herbs, aromatherapy, skin care, holistic health, and integrative care.

She is the co-author of aromather, a complete guide to the healing art, and such a treasure

to me as a foremother even to me in the herbal world it is

without further ado that I welcome today's guest Mindy Green. It is such a pleasure to have you with me today, Mindy.

And I will tell you, essential oils are such a huge controversy

and there's really nobody I trust more
