Aromatherepy: Blending Essential Oil

Essential oils are extracted from a variety of flowers, shrubs and trees and contain chemical constituents that can be used in numerous ways to combat coughs, colds, skin problems, headaches, back pain and stress reduction to name a few! Because they are gentle, yet effective they can be used around the house, on pets, in the bath and in some instances internally.

We will experiment with blending essential oils and make our own individual bath blend, as well as learning a basic foot massage. This course is fun, informative and varied, giving us lots of new ideas for looking after ourselves and the planet.

Course highlights: the properties of 10 essential oils will be explored and a range of uses discussed from pets to massage; course notes, and a knowledgeable and experienced teacher on six evenings for one and a half hours.
