Can the "King of the Zodiac" handle being ordinary? ♌🦁

In this episode, clinical aromatherapist Elizabeth Ashley (The Secret Healer) and Adam Barralet step into the spotlight to explore the vibrant and complex world of the Leo Zodiac sign.

From the "Kingly" energy of Sweet Basil to the heart-stabilizing properties of Ylang Ylang, we explore how essential oils can support the physical and emotional heart of the Lion.
