Did you accidentally bump into the coffee table and bruise your leg . . . again?
Do you have a sore neck after sleeping in a funny position last night?
Do you have aching joints and soreness in your fingers and wrists?

Aromatherapy Certification has changed my life for the better in so many ways.
A few things I love are:
- Working with essential oils every day! (Such a dream come true, right?)
- Helping others learn about essential oils and earn their own Aromatherapy Certification. I just love seeing the paths my students take after they graduate from the ACP!
- The amazing community of kind, generous, open-hearted people from all around the world who share my interests. I have made friends with authors, bloggers, teachers, distillers, business owners, magazine publishers, shop owners, farmers, and more.
If you feel curious about becoming a Certified Aromatherapist, I have great news!
If you follow The Aromahead Blog, I’ll bet you love essential oils! You might even be the one friends come to with questions like, “What’s a great way to use Lavender essential oil?” or “Why exactly does Tea Tree work for natural cleaning?” Have you ever thought about becoming a Certified Aromatherapist so you could answer these questions with more confidence, improve your understanding of how essential oils work, and help others live healthier lives?

Hydrosol body spritzes are so refreshing! Hydrosols are created during the process of distillation at the same time as essential oils. After the plant material has been distilled, then we have both the essential oil and the water portion of the distillate. The water portion is the hydrosol. Hydrosols are aromatic and offer their own therapeutic effects, distinct from the essential oil that came from the same plant. (Nature never ceases to amaze me!) I like to use pure hydrosols for things like natural cleaning blends and body spritzes. It is so refreshing to spritz yourself with a few sprays of hydrosol if you’re feeling busy, stressed, or if it’s a hot day. And you can use your Lavender hydrosol body spritz as a surface cleaner if you like! Aromatherapy is beautifully versatile and always there for us. […]
As someone who loves essential oils, how often do you make blends or recommend oils for your family and friends? This can be one of the most fun, rewarding parts of Aromatherapy! It’s so fulfilling to be able to help the people you care about with your knowledge of essential oils. I receive emails daily from people who want to help others with essential oils, but don’t feel fully confident about their ability to do that. They want to be sure they make or recommend something that’s effective and safe! […]
I’ve visited Morocco, where the spice markets are full of baskets overflowing with raw Frankincense resin. It’s such a gorgeous, exotic sight, and the aroma is unforgettable! It’s no surprise that people have been burning Frankincense resin as incense throughout history. Today, we can also distill the resin to get Frankincense essential oil. […]
