Expert Profile: Rachel A. Markel

Expertise: For the past 15 years I have been working in the field of Complementary Alternative Medicine with a focus on plant based medicines. Through my educational and supply company, eoilco laboratories,llc., I have trained practitioners from every level of western and non-traditional medicine. Currently, I lecture at Miami Dade College, Barry University and the University of Miami. I have been afforded the opportunity of working with medical professionals throughout the United States. I have also developed protocols using plant based medicines; essential oils and herbs. The use of Plant Based Medicines is experiencing a resurgence in many aspects of patient care and preventive medicine as well. My background and degree is in Health Psychology, I realized years ago as a student at FIU that essential oils had powerful and quantifiable affects on the human body. Research is now showing all of this and more. From the classroom to the lab I have found that today's educated consumer no longer distinguishes between good for your body and good for your soul. Driven by over 70 million consumers, health and well-being is a holistic movement that strives for equilibrium between family, work and self. The new wellness is balance. Currently, I am on a mission to change how my city, Miami is being cleaned. To see the main ingredient that is being used by parks, municipalities, schools, universities and families visit www.GreenTerpene.com. In my spare time I write a weekly blog for www.BalanceBoost.com, a Wellness and Green Social Network. Sign-up to receive the weekly Wellness Guide.

What do you like about this subject? I enjoy this subject because it has a rich history and can be traced back over 60,000 years. Living in a culturally diverse city like Miami I have been exposed to all types of healing and have been fortunate to learn about plant medicines being used all over Latin America and the Carribean.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I am on a mission to eliminate our dependence on toxic chemicals and this can be accomplished by using essential oils.
