You love essential oils!

But how do you know if it’s time to take an aromatherapy class?

At Aromahead Institute, we’ve talked with hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world who are passionate about essential oils. We can often spot when someone is ready to take an aromatherapy class based on a few key factors.

In this post, you’ll learn 6 common signs you’re ready for an aromatherapy class, and discover where to start.


6 Signs you’re ready for an aromatherapy class

1. You’re not sure which oils to use.

We see this one a lot!

Different oils should be used for different purposes. Each oil has its own unique chemistry, and it’s an oil’s chemistry that determines its physical and emotional effects.

Knowing which oil to use for what, why it works

and how to safely use it does require education.


2. You’re confused about essential oil info online.

This one is very common these days!

A quick online search turns up a ton of results on essential oils. It’s tempting to believe you don’t really need an aromatherapy class, or that you can guide yourself.

But while that content may be shared by well-meaning people, it’s not always based on science or research. The “facts,” “advice,” and “recipes” shared are sometimes ineffective . . . or even unsafe.

Without aromatherapy education, it’s impossible

to spot this misinformation for yourself.

As a result, you could be using oils in ways that don’t work, or even causing serious negative reactions (like phototoxic burns, sensitization, and headaches).


3. You’re not confident your blends will work.

Have you ever used an oil and not gotten the results you intended?

Nothing can affect your confidence faster! More often than not, this happens because you haven’t chosen the right oil for your needs, or you’ve used the oil in an ineffective way.

For example, did you know there are different types of Lavender? Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and Spike Lavender (Lavandula latifolia) are both in the “Lavandula” genus, but they’re distinct oils that will create dramatically different blends. Lavender is famously relaxing, while Spike Lavender is actually more energizing.

An aromatherapy class can build your skills &

confidence from the ground up, so you have

more consistent success with your blends.


4. You want to understand WHY essential oils work.

You’ve heard Tea Tree oil is excellent for natural cleaning. Is that true, and if so . . . why?

And it’s well-known that eucalyptus is one of the top oils for respiratory support. Again . . . why?

Understanding some basic essential oil science

can help you make more effective blends.

It also means you’ll have reliable information to share with friends or relatives when they ask you how essential oils work. (Not having reliable, proven info can seriously sink your confidence!)

With science-based aromatherapy classes, you’ll discover how simple it is to understand essential oil chemistry.


5. You want to use essential oils for your family.

We love this goal! Shifting to a more natural lifestyle honors the planet while supporting your family’s wellbeing.

Essential oils can play a big role in that shift! You can use them to make products for cleaning, immune health, caring for kids, calming minor aches, and more. Your natural products can reduce your family’s exposure to harsh substances that can cause health issues, like allergies.

If you want your homemade products to be effective for your family, start with essential oil education.


6. You want to start a business with essential oils.

Owning your own business is a big reason to take an aromatherapy class!

Taking classes means:

  • Your blends will be more effective

  • Your advice to others will be on target

  • Your products & advice will be safe

  • You’ll become a trusted, reliable resource for your clients

Developing knowledge of safe, effective blending

and essential oil science sets you apart in a crowded field.

Your clients will take note of your dedication to provable facts, and will respect you more for it.

With aromatherapy becoming more popular every year, there’s no shortage of careers you can thrive in!
