Dr Penoel believes Fragonia^TM represents the Yin or female aspect of the Tao and Kunzea, the Yang or male aspect. The Tao indicates the interdependence of Yin and Yang energies. An extreme condition in one will make the other unbalanced and a state of ill health can arise. ‘The combination of both oils seems to reunify the Tao and to provide a new level of results that cannot be obtained just with the individual use of each oil’. The combination will depend on the needs of the client.
