which have been steam distilled or cold-pressed from flowers, fruit,
bark and roots.
Art

by the intensity of their emotions which are difficult to face either
by themselves or with others. Art therapy offers an opportunity to explore
these intense or painful thoughts and feelings in a supportive environment.

in group situations.
