Arthritis, Joints & Aromatherapy

Pain is probably the most common reason to seek medical assistance.

It is unlike any other sensation, and cannot be measured like blood pressure or pulse.

For the pain sufferer it is a total experience that cannot be objectively measured.

 This course explores how aromatherapy and essential oils can affect the way we experience and control pain. In-depth and invaluable for those working with people in pain, the course explores different essential oil blends and application techniques that have been used in hospital and hospice settings with the approval of medical consultants.
