Comment from one of our Aromatherapy students:

"This course was very interesting, challenging and very worthwhile" N. Mills

Most people know essential oils by their common names, such as Lavender, Thyme or Eucalyptus; however, unless you are aware of the botanical names, you cannot be sure of the source of the oil you are using.

Enrol today and take a step toward better understanding herb oils and their use.
