Clinical Aromatherapy Course for Healthcare Practioners

Are you a Health Care Professional eager to use essential oils in your practice, but not certain you know enough to use them safely and effectively? We have the solution!

Nature's Gift is proud to announce that we have been chosen not only to supply the essential oils and supplies for the Foundations in Clinical Aromatherapy course, but have been chosen to distribute the course itself. Dr. Jane Buckle has been one of my aromatherapy mentors for years. I have used both of her books as reference, been fortunate enough to attend a seminar that she presented, and am honored to be able to make her Clinical Aromatherapy course available to our health care professional clients. If you are a doctor, nurse, nurse practitioner, esthetician, massage therapist, respiratory therapist, acupuncturist, occupational therapist, physical therapist, chiropractor or naturopath, if you have a license under which you may use the essential oils in treating your clients, then this is the course of study that you need.
