Aromatherapy Level 4

Course Description

"Aromatherapy is the fragrant art of using specially selected aromatic oils for therapeutic purposes. It is one of the fastest growing complementary therapies in the world."

All essential oils are antiseptic and have different effects - some regulate metabolic function, some stimulate, whilst some others will soothe irritations and anxieties. Massage is used with the oils to enhance their effectiveness.

Essential oils can be used safely at home for many ailments. Aromatherapy is one of the most widely used therapies and this course will enable you to successfully practice as an aromatherapist.

One of the key features of this aromatherapy course is the inclusion of the anatomy and physiology added qualification.
