RE: Courses vs. Self-Taught

[Guest guest]

Good evening all,

 

I know that if a person wishes to work with eo's or herbs that a lot of

care must be taken to do it properly. Is it necessary to take courses to

do this or can one be self-taught with reliable sources of information?

I'm not advocating one over the other but I am curious to know other's

thoughts on this. I think this was covered before, sorry for asking yet

again!

I hope everyone is well and having a better eve' than me; I am about to die

over this weather and I'm a native Floridian!! Warily watching the

southern Bahamas, too...

TIA,

 

Andrea

Hi Andrea,

 

My opinion is it would be virtually impossible to be self-taught in

this business because you will have to wind up with a teacher at some

point whether it be in college or a neighborhood wisewoman, etc. If

you mean self-taught in regards to buying a book on aromatherapy,

you'll have to be very careful which books because most of them are

incorrect and do not offer correct and/or up-to-date contra-

indications of the EO. I went this route, only to find years later

that most of what I knew was wrong or dangerous to do because I was

going by what I read in books. I now take Martin Watt's aromatherapy

course and I'm so glad I did before I either hurt myself or someone

else.
