Aromatherapy education, home study certification courses about essential oils.

If you are a nurse, nurse practitioner, esthetician, massage therapist, respiratory therapist, acupuncturist, occupational therapist, physical therapist or naturopath, if you have a license under which you may use the essential oils in treating your clients, then this is the course of study that you need. We are proud to present Foundations in Clinical Aromatherapy, by R. Jane Buckle, PhD. Read a full course description at the link above.

If. like most of us, you are not a licensed health care practitioner, but want to extend your knowledge of the safe and effective use of these healing oils, please investigate the courses below.

First of all, it is important to bear in mind that Aromatherapy Certification in the United States, is meaningless. There is no official recognition by any state governing agency of certification. In order to practice any sort of hands on healing therapy one needs another professional license, ie, massage therapist, physical therapist, registered nurse, etc. However, this does not negate the value of either a correspondence or a 'hands on' course leading to certification. No matter how much self study one does, and how much experience we may have with the oils, there are bound to be gaps in our knowledge.

The following is a listing of some correspondence courses based in North America that I am aware of. Listing here by no means indicates that endorsement any specific course.
