EH105 - Introduction to Aromatherapy for Companion Animals ::
The use of essential oils dates back to ancient times, but through research and clinical application, they are being used far beyond "recreational” aromatherapy applications.
With this class, you will be given an Introduction to Essential Oils, their history and current usage. Applications for dogs, cats, horses, birds, and other companion animals will be discussed. Benefits of the oils, and how to select quality oils, will be highlighted.
Animals respond to essential oils much the same as humans, and we have some amazing stories to share. The oils are regenerating, stimulating, and oxygenating. Many oils are muscle relaxants, digestive tonics, and circulatory stimulants. All essential oils will enhance immunity to work with the body to heal itself.
When treating animals oils must be pure and of the highest quality. This class will explain how to approach your animal for treatment, and how to decide which oils to use for different issues. Included will be valuable tips for starter oils so that you can begin to utilize them, and experience the benefits first hand.
This is an introduction to the art of aromatherapy. More in depth courses on this topic are scheduled through ASN for Spring 2010 (see course codes EH125 (Level 1 series) and EH225 (Level 2 series).
