Aromatherapy Classes and Certifications at the Northeast Holistic Center

The ancient art of aromatherapy is invaluable in helping us overcome the stresses of the modern day world. Through the use of aromas from essential oils, certain responses can be elicited within our nervous system to assist us with relaxing or energizing, helping one sleep or creating a certain mood. Aromatherapy has been practiced for over 5,000 years, and its modern day resurgence gives us more choices in healing our bodies, emotions, mind and spirit, naturally.

Aromatherapy is a non-invasive, non-toxic, and pleasurable way to enhance our lives. It utilizes essential oils, or the vital, alive part of a flower, plant, fruit, grass or tree that is distilled in order to remove the active, fragrant part of the oil from its other components. This concentrated essential oil is what we work with. Because of its concentration, it is important to understand how to use it properly. When used with understanding, aromatherapy is invaluable for use as air fresheners, massage oils, baths, cosmetic uses and other means that we utilize to heal our body, emotions, mind, spirit and environment!

We offer classes, lectures, and a certification course (called Aromatherapy & You) in aromatherapy. Aromatherapy & You is also offered as a correspondence course. Please visit our calendar for upcoming classes, or call us for more information or to schedule a lecture.

Classes:
Introduction To Aromatherapy is a two-day seminar, exploring the world of blending essential oils. Work with and experience thirteen essential oils. Each oil pertains to a particular body system or function. The experiential work incorporates the use of Lavender for the skin, Ginger for the circulatory system, Marjoram for the muscles and joints, Eucalyptus for the respiratory system, Tea Tree for the immune system, Peppermint for the digestive system, Juniper for the Urinary system, Lemon for detoxification, Geranium for hormonal balance, Lemongrass for the nervous system, Petitgrain for the emotions, Rosemary for the mind, and Frankincense for the spiritual aspect of the body. The possible healing qualities of your blends expand and grow as each oil is introduced.
