- Feeling A Bit Low? Try This…I was looking at essential oils for seasonal affective disorder (SAD) the other day and noticed that one of my all-time favourite oils is a goodie. Most people have never heard of Eucalyptus Staigeriana, but it is the one I use the most in my office as it is so head-clearing and uplifting. It’s quite …

The last time I bought one, I had to put it in the communal hall of our apartments to let it off-gas for a couple of weeks. Much to the other residents’ consternation, and mine. Not good. But …
- Lab Test Service UpdateNow I have a little less clinic work to do, I have taken the test service back under my wing (by popular demand!).
