4th Edition Course

4th Edition Course

The New Academic Standard

The 4th Edition speaks to the student who is intent on learning the latest developments in essential oils. The goal is to become deeply familiar with authentic essential oils so the student will be empowered to create the most effective therapeutic formulae. While the Classic Aromatherapy Course (formally 3rd Edition Course) represents the foundations of French Style aromatherapy based on organic chemistry, The 4th Edition Course integrates other explanations beyond chemical structures and components found in the Classic Correspondence Course. 

On a personal level, the course can be a source of great joy and progress. By learning how effective essential oils can be, the ground can be laid to move away from chemicals in one’s personal life. Understanding aromatherapy can bring about an extraordinary strengthening of the body’s self-healing abilities.
