Essential tree oils, such as phytoncides found in forest air (pine trees and cypress tend to be the richest), increase energy levels by more than 30 percent.The smell of these tree oils conjures a general state of...

    I love all the new info coming in and seeing all the different ways people are making an impact. I’m trying to get better about logging in but the takeaways that are coming from this challenge are so much bigger than just one competition.
