The course offers a unique insight into not only plant knowledge specific to aromatherapy, but how the oils are produced and how they are used.
Aromatherapy is a holistic healing treatment that uses natural plant extracts such as resins, balms, and oils.
Essential oil distillation goes back to the Persians in the 10th century, but first published as an aid to health in the 16th century in Germany. It is now widely regarded as beneficial for overall health and well-being.
There are a number of mediums used in the use of aromatherapy practices and include an oil burner or diffuser, steaminhalations, body applications using oil or lotion applied therapeutically to the body, infused tissues for inhalation and oils used directly into the bathwater.
A trained Aromatherapist can offer treatments and relief for a number of specific ailments, as well as balancing and restoring emotional well-being, improvement in mood, and temperament.
