Aromatherapy is a skilled and controlled practice using essential oils, for physical, emotional health and well-being.

Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine that uses unpredictable liquid plant materials, which is known as essential oils (EOs). And it is for psychological and physical well-being.


Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of plant-derived, aromatic essential oils to promote physical and psychological well-being. It is sometimes used in combination with massage and other therapeutic techniques as part of a holistic treatment approach.


The Distance Learning Aromatherapy course covers the history, philosphy and purpose of aromatherapy. You will learn how to blend essential oils to create different treaments and how to offer treatments safely and professionally.
