  • The importance of balancing the effects of the right essential oils with the right dose. (Note: Please make sure you are working with an expert and/or are knowledgeable about proper applications of essential oils when using them. Especially seek an aromatherapist or health provider if you are on medication and/or using essential oils internally.)

  • Dr. Paterson’s essential oil DIY: An essential oil outdoor bug spray and repellent which mixes a blend of essential oils with water and witch hazel. The oils include oregano, thyme, clove, lemongrass, citronella, and rosemary oils. (Caution: These are hot oils, so please dilute appropriately if applying directly to the skin vs. clothes.)

  • The importance of advocating for yourself and finding a doctor who is literate and familiar with your diagnosis.

  • Closing questions: What Dr. Patterson does for self-care daily and what she feels we should ditch and replace with instead for improved overall health and nourishment.
