Aromatherapy, an ancient practice, is increasingly recognized for its benefits to health and well-being. Using essential oils extracted from plants, this technique offers a preventive and curative approach to improving our quality of life. At the Academy of Professional Naturopaths and Naturotherapists, we invite you to explore this fascinating field through our aromatherapy course.
This course begins with a comprehensive introduction to aromatherapy. You’ll learn about the practice, its history, and how it has evolved over the centuries. We’ll also look at the differences between classical and clinical aromatherapy, and emphasize the importance of ethical and responsible use of essential oils.
Not all essential oils are the same. Each has unique therapeutic properties that are often related to their biochemical composition. In this course, you’ll discover the different biochemical families of essential oils and their properties. Whether terpenoids, esters or phenols, understanding these families will enable you to select the right oils for your or your client’s specific needs and contraindications.
One of the keys to using essential oils safely is knowing how to blend them. Vegetable oils play an important role in aromatherapy. They act as diluents for essential oils, making them safer and more pleasant to use. We’ll teach you how to choose the right vegetable oils and create blends for a variety of uses, from relaxing massages to creating skin care products.
The course includes a detailed presentation of over 60 essential oils. For each one, we’ll explore therapeutic properties, indications, contraindications and application methods. You’ll learn how these oils can relieve common ailments such as stress, digestive disorders or muscular pain. This section of the course is essential for acquiring a solid foundation in aromatherapy and developing your practical skills.
