About this Talk
There are hundreds of essential oils available, yet for those of us who train as an aromatherapist we will have most likely learnt about just 65-70, so how do we get to know a new essential oil? In this session Helen will walk you through her process.
- Subtle aromatherapy (e.g. What messages can we get from spending time smelling this essential oil? What questions should we be asking of it and how long should we work with it for?)
- Botanical information on the plant (what clues does this give us?)
- Traditional use / history of the plant (what can we learn from this)
- Scientific information (e.g. chemistry so we can understand who it is safe to use it with & understand contraindications)
