Day One: Introduction to Aromatherapy

Day 1 - 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

The day begins with an overview of aromatherapy and its place in modern herbalism followed by an easy-to-understand explanation of the physiological actions of essential oils, with an emphasis on their effect on the central nervous system. We'll look at practical methods for using essential oils including a comparison of the effectiveness of internal vs. external use (you'll be surprised!) and step-by-step guidelines for safe and effective external use. You'll learn how essential oils act on viral and bacterial infections, pain, inflammation, emotional distress and other conditions. The day ends with an in-depth discussion of some of the most versatile essential oils including lavender, rosemary, eucalyptus, tea tree, peppermint, thyme and chamomile.

Day Two: Essential Oils in Practice

Day 2 - 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Day two is devoted to an in-depth presentation and discussion of more than ten essential oils with a wide range of applications for common health issues. Drawing from her 20-plus years of study and practice, Dr. Joie Power shares priceless information about how essential oils are used in medical settings. Oils to be discussed include bergamot, frankincense, sweet orange, geranium, sandalwood, cedarwood, clary sage, ylang-ylang and others.
