From Certified Aromatherapist and Well Scent Founder
 
One of the things I love most about about working with essential oils is that, for many, it resonates with an ancestral knowledge of plants, a time when we intimately knew the landscapes we walked and enjoyed gathering plants for our food and medicine. Cultivating that innate sensibility and checking-in with your intuition supports healing and wellness but getting there is a process. Use the product information on each page as a guide and check-in with your wellness practitioner for new ways of using aromatherapy to support your journey towards health of body, mind and spirit.  
Smiles, Stacy Shuman

Your Holiday Shine with Nature-Based Dental and Oral Health Care

Holistic dentists and many wellness practitioners believe that wellness begins in the mouth. Your gums and your teeth have a connection to major organs and systemic functions in your body, including (but not limited to) your cardiovascular system, your digestive organs, your lymph and even your brain. So, a simple way to support the health of not only your mouth, but your entire body today?
Ditch your toxic toothpaste.

Your new toothpaste rule: If you wouldn't want to swallow its ingredients,
don't use it on your teeth. 

Conventional toothpaste contains potent toxins linked to endocrine suppression, neurotoxicity and even cancer. Some of those harmful ingredients to look out for? Sodium fluoride, which can also be found in industrial pesticides. Triclosan, an anti-bacterial chemical carcinogen. Sodium Laurel Sulfate, a damaging detergent that causes the body to act like a sponge for nitrates and toxicity. DEA, an inflammatory foaming agent known to burden the kidneys and liver.

We know that wellness advocates are equally concerned about keeping the mouth free of bacteria, cavities and gingivitis, so what's the solution to the toxic toothpaste conundrum? Using plant-based antimicrobial and anti-flammatory ingredients derived straight from nature.
Here's how:

Here's to taking another step toward wellness, and assuring that from the inside out, you Shine!

Smile, Glow, Pause for Peace & Shine!
Holiday Gift-Picks from the Well Scent Girls

Well Scent Girl: Stacy Shuman, Certified Aromatherapist & Well Scent Founder Holiday Gift Pick: Smile - Mood Support Why: Because jasmine and rose are indulgent and geranium balances hormones, so I will be gifting my girlfriends a non-toxic perfume that supports neurotransmitter health and is utterly feminine. 

Well Scent Girl: Candice Mitchell, Social Media Manager Holiday Gift Pick: Glow - Radiant Serum Why: I like to remind my loved ones of their innate beauty, so I'm planning to gift Well Scent's radiant serum this season. Its tamanu and rose oil are nourishing to the skin in winter, and restore its natural vitality. With the help of essential oils show your loved ones that from the inside out, they glow.

Well Scent Girl: Melissa Cox, Instagram Manager and Contributor Holiday Gift Pick: Pause for Peace - Relaxation Support Why: I'll be gifting Pause for Peace to my loved ones so they will be able to create a space of reflection and joy by staying grounded during the Christmas season, and inspired by the approaching new year. 

Well Scent Girl: Kayla Denny, Photographer and Contributor Holiday Gift Pick: Shine  - Mineral Rich Dental Polish Why: I love gifting our dental blends to family & friends, firstly to influence them away from conventional toothpastes that are full of toxins and sugar, and secondly because I know that these blends will positively impact their overall health. Shine is hundreds of times more powerful than toothpaste, whitens teeth, and can even reverse cavities over time. Who wouldn't want that?

RECENT TESTIMONIALS


I have been using Balance for the past several months, personally, and also with my clients in my healing practice. Balance creates a palpable energetic shift almost immediately. It is tonifying and strengthening to the system, while creating an energetically unfavorable environment for pathogens. The effect is dramatic and it smells good, too. I have been using Stacy's oils for years now and am so appreciate how clean and tolerable they are, even for the most sensitive. I'm lovin' you Stacy, and am always in awe of your magical ways with the oils. 
Tifphanie Turner, LMT



I have been using your oral health & Lyme treatment products including Shine, Watch Your Mouth, Balance and Renew for a few months. I appreciate so much the care you have taken in formulating these safe, effective and delightful products.
 
I recently had oral surgery to remove infections and a cavitation that have been poisoning my system for a long time.  The after-surgery recovery process was challenging, with a lot of lymph swelling and a Lyme rash that broke out all over my body and lasted for weeks!
 
Balance (recommended by my Sophia Clinic doctors) was so important to me during the acute phase of my recovery. I gently massaged Balance (and, later, Renew) twice a day across my forehead and sinuses, around my tender jaw line and down onto the swollen lymph glands in my neck to help disinfect the tissues and encourage lymph drainage.  I loved the smell and therapeutic effect it provided every time I used it. I appreciated even more the unexpected benefit of feeling a definite energetic imprint of "loving kindness" in your product.  At the time I had never seen your website or brochures - I had no idea about your company.  But the gentle "caring" invested in your products was obvious to me.
 
Thank you so very much for creating medicine that is natural and nurturing to the spirit as well as the body. Wow! Blessings to you and all of your team at Well-Scent.  Keep up the great work!
R. Martin
