Course Description: The information in this course will guide you down a path to better understand the basics about aromatherapy and how essential oils can be used to manage health care.

Course Purpose: This course will provide you with basic knowledge about Aromatherapy so that you can share the benefits that essential oils provide with patients, students or even friends and family.

Over the last 20 years or so, there has been renewed interest by both the general public and health practitioners to utilize natural solutions, including essential oils, as treatments for growing health concerns. Truthfully, the use of essential oils has never stopped, but the scientific revolution did minimize the popularity and daily use of them when the age of "modern medicine" took hold. Today's heightened awareness of synthetics, coupled with the increased availability of aromatherapy information found within books, courses, and scientific articles easily accessed over the internet, has reestablished the use of essential oils for medicinal use.

Today, trained professionals such as: aromatherapists, physical therapists, massage therapists, nutritionists, dentists, family practitioners, surgeons, nurses, and alternative medical practitioners, use essential oils in their practice. It's expected that in the coming years, essential oils will be used more and more to support health and wellness worldwide.

Goals & Objectives:

  • What constitutes an essential oil
  • The history of essential oils
  • How to use essential oils in your every day life. Aromatic, topical and internally.
  • What categories of plants you can turn to for your health concerns
  • Essential oil safety and purity
  • Basic essential oils and how to use them
  • Essential oils for mental health and mood
  • And DIY ideas that will transform the way you manage your home health care

Using Essential Oils: There are many different brands and varieties of essential oils. Rebecca recommends use doTERRA Essential Oils because they are Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade. Every quart of doTERRA essential oil undergoes seven different professional tests conducted by biochemists before the product is bottled and put on the market. For this reason, it is the essential oil brand most used in hospitals and for medical research. The information in this course is based on using pure essential oils that have undergone this type of testing.

Testimonials


"I would like to consider essential oils defused in the nursing station of the psychiatric hospital where I work as well as with individual patients. I will be trying several myself, especially for sleep. Biggest take away... cannot cause allergic reactions ." -Norma P.


"I found this course to be more informative and interesting than I thought it would be. I am excited to employ the use of aromatherapy for myself, my staff and for the residents in my facility" - Lynn H.


"I work in the mental health field. I am excited to begin using citrus essential oils in uplifting mood and tree oils to ground people. My teenage daughter has female issues and anxiety so it will be great to try the flower and grass oils to manage hormones and calming. My husband is recovering from quadruple heart by pass surgery and will be using Ylang Ylang. Thank you for this information" - Barbara A.


"I do believe that based off the information I've learned in this course, that yes, essential oils can help support the overall well being and health of others. I use essential oils at home and always diffuse Lavender oil at night for my children. As well, I work in a Nursing Home and one specific unit (the Dementia Unit) also diffuses Lavender in the evening to provide a calming environment. Also- I suffer from Migraines and will often put Peppermint on my forehead when I feel a headache coming on and it helps relieve the pain. I took this class because we are building a sensory room in our facility and my boss wanted me to become more knowledgeable on Essential Oils and felt I would benefit from it since I already enjoy using oils. So what I took away from this class is the realization that oils more amazing and more beneficial then I've ever realized. And- you can do so much with oils and use them different ways...I learned to research more into oils and their uses....and that the $5.99 bottle of "essential oil" at the Grocery store probably isn't synthetic and to put my money into oils that I know are! Great course :) " - Michele Z.
