Course Reviews

Reginald Nixon

This course was the most thorough I have ever taken on aromatherapy. The complex integration of eastern and western traditional medicine yielded fascinating insights about the power of these distilled essences. The workbook is in and of itself, invaluable.

Chelsea Barrington, LMT

I absolutely loved this course. The book and materials were detailed, concise, and fascinating. In addition to learning about a multitude of herbs and plants from which the essential oil is extracted, I especially enjoyed learning about the five elements of Chinese medicine and tradition, and how this can be applied to aromatherapy. I think that this text does a great job of blending Eastern and Western treatments and philosophies in our goals of healing.

I enjoyed the course more than I expected to. I liked the information related to the 5 elements and the yin and yang. I also look forward to utilizing the info regarding using the oils along with acupressure points. Content was presented in a very utilizable format for me.
