It is important to always expand the knowledge base. As aromatherapy has "come into its own", more research and more information is becoming available. Safety and effective usage is possible through best practices and evidence-based use.
Here are a few ways to dig deep into aromatherapy:
- Get your education from multiple sources. There is always a bias in information. Being familiar with a wide variety of philosophies is helpful.
- Find a mentor who is an experienced clinical aromatherapist. This can include getting an education from a solid school of aromatherapy. (Vintage Remedies, and others)
- Read evidence based books by solid experts in the field (Len and Shirley Price, Jennifer Peace Rhind, and others)
- Learn to fact check research citations. Note: Evidence-based resources will be well cited!
- Become familiar with the "best practices" laid out by Alliance of International Aromatherapists, National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy and similar organizations.
- Set up a consultation with a certified aromatherapist.
