Aromatherapy School

You have probably heard about aromatherapy and even tried it yourself. While you can buy the salts, the oils, the candles and the other items from the store, why don’t you make it yourself? This can be done thanks to schools that offer aromatherapy training as a vocational course.

To start, all you have to do is find a school that offers the program. Once you are enrolled, you will be given a beginner’s kit that usually contains 4 to 6 bottles of various scents.

The 4 to 6 oils in the kit are the most common ones used for aromatherapy. While one or two are great for muscle pain, the rest are effective in treating a common cold or some other mild symptom.

Once you know the special characteristics of these oils, other will be introduced and you will be taught that you can mix a few of these together to create your own concoction.

As you already know, oils are not the only thing used for aromatherapy. There are candles, bath salts, incense and even soaps. You will also be trained how to make them so can make these later on your own.

When you finish the vocational course, it is up to you what you want to do with it. You can start your own business and sell these to stores or to customers directly or just use the knowledge to create it yourself for your own personal use.

Some use the training of aromatherapy to move up to the higher levels of the health care practice. A few options could make you become a massage therapist, ayurvedic clinician or even a naturopath.

If you think that the cost of aromatherapy training is expensive, you will be happy to know that most training courses are offered at less than $1,000.

In fact, some say this is a great time to get back into school when the country is in financial crisis and if you happen to be one of the millions who have been laid off, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to shift into this career. But if money is still your concern, don’t worry because you can apply for a scholarship.

If time is another constraint, don’t worry because there are some schools that understand your situation and offer the same program at night or online.

So what are you waiting for? If you want to make some money and feel good at the same time, then now is the time to get into aromatherapy school. You can find a listing of what schools are offering this course online and then reviewing their curriculum and comparing their rates before you decide to enroll in the program. Most of the classes can be completed in 6 months.

Unlike other jobs that require you to have a license, being an aromatherapy practitioner does not require you to have one. After finishing the course, you could earn from $15,000 to $40,000 but this depends of course on other factors especially where you practice.

More people are becoming health conscious which is why aromatherapy is gaining popularity. Given this trend, you should probably strike while the iron is hot because while some see this merely as a hobby, try to see the bigger picture and turn this into a business.
