toms that come with it that
don’t always offer relief,”
Tennent, who is trained in
Chinese medicine, explains.
“That can be really daunt-
ing for a lot of people. In
my office, we allow people
to see the pattern that is
their body, and we can get
them the tools to make sure
that pattern
is staying intact.”
Tennent says acupunc-
ture (and the addition of
essential oils) can be a good
option for those looking
to address nervous system
concerns through natural
means, such as anxiety or
stress. It’s an industry that
she’s seen grow tremen-
dously in recent years, as
people continue to look for
alternative ways to treat
everyday concerns. Though
she sometimes encounters

skepticism, she says those
individuals usually walk out
of her office feeling much
better after treatment.
As Cedar Rose Botanicals
continues to grow, Tennent
aims to make more prod-
ucts (which she creates in
conjunction with her staff,
who include a trained phy-
sician and herbalist) that
address different areas. “I
want to be able to mix and
make more things for peo-
ple,” she says, “take more
custom orders and even
develop a subscription box
or two.”
“Essential oils are so
helpful for shifting our
nervous system,” Tennent
continues. “They allow our
nervous system to relax
more easily and they’re
great for digestive and hor-
monal aspects as well.”

“ESSENTIAL OILS … ALLOW
OUR NERVOUS SYSTEM TO

RELAX MORE EASILY.”
