Get Trained in Aromatherapy and Essential Oils

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils from plants for healing. Essential oils are concentrated extracts taken from plants’ roots, leaves, seeds, or blossoms. Each contains its own mix of active ingredients, and this mix determines what the oil is used for. Essential oils have been used for therapeutic purposes for nearly 6,000 years. The ancient Chinese, Indians, Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans used them in cosmetics, perfumes, and drugs. Essential oils were also commonly used for spiritual, therapeutic, hygienic, and ritualistic purposes.
