A new store featuring CBD and healthy living products has opened in Hanover. AroMed Essentials is located at 6 Allen Street and sells their own line of products containing CBD (cannabidiol) oil, essential oils, and other healthy lifestyle products. CBD oil is derived from the cannabis hemp plant and is widely reported to help those suffering from anxiety and pain.

The Hanover store is the third store for AroMed Essentials owner Lauren Andrews who also has stores located in Montpelier and the Berlin Mall in Vermont. Andrews is a registered nurse, clinical aromatherapist, and a graduate of University of Vermont’s Cannabis Science and Medicine Certification Program. She previously served as a nurse at the Inpatient Psychiatry Unit at Central Vermont Medical Center in Berlin, Vermont and at the Vermont State Hospital, roles which clarified her desire to expand alternative treatments for relieving symptoms of chronic pain, stress-induced illness, and mental health. The growing body of scientific evidence supporting the use of plant medicine in clinical trials inspired Lauren to launch AroMed in 2013 as a way to introduce holistic health and well-being to a wider audience.

AroMed Essentials will offer classes to those interested in learning more about the health benefits of CBD oil and essential oils. Call 802-225-6629 for more information.
