Individuals interested in learning about essential oils, which have been used for thousands of years for mind and body wellness, are invited to attend a free, two-part class at Living Acupuncture and Healing Arts Center, located in the Victorian Plaza in Barnegat. The first class, on Wednesday, April 15, from 6 to 7 p.m., will discuss some of the most common oils used and the different ways they can be applied.

Essential oils are often utilized for their cosmetic purposes as well as their spiritually and emotionally uplifting properties. Taryn Parascand, owner of Living Acupuncture, who has been studying essential oils for 15 years, will teach participants the importance of the quality of oils as well as what precautions to take when working with them.

“The ways that people can use oils and the ailments for which they treat are endless,” said Parascand, who is in the process of becoming certified as a clinical aromatherapist. “This is a way to reach people and help them understand the value of using essential oils. It is safe, effective, and there are no side effects,” she added.

Participants will also be able to smell and sample the over 35 Snow Lotus single oils and blends that are available in the office. Any purchases will receive a 15 percent discount.

A second class, on blending oils, will be held May 13, from 6 to 7 p.m.
