The Importance of Education and Conservation

Essential oils are highly concentrated substances that can have deep effect on all of our bodily systems. While we enjoy their aromatics, the true benefit of plant essences is in their unique chemical compositions that dictate which actions they may have on our bodies. This is where aromatherapy education is important because the proper formulation of essential oil blends within specific parameters regarding safety and efficacy is scientific and complex. Always consult a certified aromatherapist when you are looking to achieve the benefits of essential oil therapy.

If you are interested in pursuing education in the growing field of aromatherapy I highly recommend the Internationally recognized Essence of Thyme College of Holistic Studies. Whether it be basic information to enjoy aromatherapy on a personal level, you are looking to build an essential oil business where you can offer practical, trained and safe advice on the proper use of essential oils or if you are already a professional aromatherapist looking to grow your foundation EOT has a program for you:

The sustainable harvesting of essential oils is imperative if we are to continue to indulge in the magic of essential oils. In truth, this magic distilled or pressed from the leaves, petals, barks and peels of plants, fruits and seeds is chemically substantiated and rooted in science and not magic at all. Undoubtedly, we all see the magic in plants and their miraculous growth from tiny seeds into prolific fruit/seed bearing leafy structures. Plants are truly to be respected and admired. The act of harvesting plants for their medicinal value is an ancient practice but as automation and demand grows we must adapt to harvest essential oil bearing plants responsibly and sustainably so that we can continue to enjoy the volatile essences of these bountiful plants. It is always best to seek the advice of a certified aromatherapist who will be up to date on threatened and endangered essential oil bearing plants so that you can source your oils responsibly and ethically.
