<p>I am a massage therapist who wants to get certification in aromatherapy. I work ALL weekends, so I'm trying to find classes that are offered during the week. All I find are weekend classes. I did find an online class that's affordable. Anyone know of "The Aromatherapy Advocate Home Study Course" by Naomi Ball? Any suggestions and advice is appreciated.</p>

<p>Of course, some discussions will naturally evolve regarding favored brands, and that's understandable. Let's just do our best to respect the opinions of others and keep brand marketing to a minimum.</p>

<p>I received a small catalog from Universal Companies and found several EO brands that I had not heard of before. Several of the massage perodicals/journals contain ads for unheard-of EO companies. Biotone, TheraPro...so many known companies that produce massage oils and cremes have now gone into the EO business. All claim to sell quality products...not adulterated...not "cut." But yet, when I have tried them or smelled them, they smelled funny or had no effect. Prices are all over the chart, from high to low. So using the old addage that "quality means you pay more," well...that doesn't help.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have been impressed with YLEOs so far. I even have some Nature's Sunshine (NS) EOs to use for treatments (Tx). When I smell them, I don't detect an alcohol or "off" smell. NS EOs have an "earthy" smell to them. Not sure why so different from YL.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I would like to learn about quality EOs from the companies that you have worked with and trust. I also would like to know about EOs that you stopped using and why. Thanks for taking the time to comment on my post.

What sort of blends do you use in your practice? Do you use pre-blended massage oils, add EO blends to your carriers, or mix your own blends from recipes you've developed? If you mix your own, do you make up bottles of standard blends or customise to each client, or both?

I like Julia Lawless' <u>Complete Illustrated Guide to Aromatherapy</u> and Kurt Schnaubelt's <u>Advanced Aronatherapy</u>.<br />
Franzesca Watson's <u>Aromatherapy Blends and Recipes</u> is the very first aromatherapy book I got ten years ago and I still refer to it regularly.
