Introduction to Aromatherapy Experience
Overview
Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine that uses organic plants where essential oil is extracted for the purpose of altering a person's mind, mood, cognitive function or health.
If you wish, you will also be offered a uniform so you can get dressed up like a scientist for the day and have some fun whilst learning how to improve your health and wellbeing.
Understand how plants are named and given the scientific names of 18 different plants from which essential oils are derived. Learn the difference between essential oils and fragrant oils. Discover how essential oils are derived and the methods of extractions and discuss the benefits of the top 24 global essential oil sellers.
Participants will also develop their own Essential oil blend to improve health or alternatively, develop a blend for a pet animal.
