The Power of Aromatherapy
Aromatic essential oils offer a fragrant and natural way to support health and well-being. My own journey into holistic therapy began with aromatherapy in the late 1990s, and to this day, I continue to use these incredible gifts of nature in daily life.
Aromatherapy provides us with scents that not only delight the senses but also promote healing for the mind, body, and soul. Qualified aromatherapists often work alongside healthcare professionals in clinical settings, including advanced disease care and end-of-life support, offering comfort to patients and their families.
I have always been amazed by the powerful yet gentle healing properties of essential oils. A single drop carries immense potential, transforming the atmosphere and bringing natural balance to our lives.
What You’ll Learn in This Course
In this class, you will explore various essential oils and their applications, including creating personal products.
