Clinical Aromatherapy
Clinical aromatherapy is the controlled use of essential
oils for specific outcomes that are measurable. These effects
can occur at both psychological and physiological levels.
The choice of essential oil is often based on the chemistry
of that essential oil which in turn will indicate the safest
method of use.
More information on Clinical Aromatherapy is available
in Dr Buckle's evidence-based book, Clinical
Aromatherapy: Essential Oils in Practice. With
over 1,000 references, this book is intended for health professionals
wanting an evidence-based text. It is used by several universities
and recommended by most schools teaching Clinical Aromatherapy.
The book includes in-depth chapters (which were all peer-reviewed
by experts) on infection, insomnia, chronic pain, nausea,
stress management, and use in specific clinical specialties
such as cardiology, care of the elderly, critical care, dermatology,
endocrinology, hospice and end-of-life, immunology, OB/GYN,
oncology, pediatrics, psychiatric, respiratory care. The
text builds on Buckle’s first book, Clinical Aromatherapy
in Nursing which is out of print. While written for nurses,
the book is valuable for all health professionals, including
physicians, interested in using essential oils in a clinical
setting.

Courses Offered
| We currently have two programs on clinical
aromatherapy: |
| • |
Taught course |
| • |
Home-study course. |
| Both are intended for licensed health
professionals not the lay person. |
Both courses conform to the requirements for professional
clinical training. Contact Hours are available for nurses and massage
therapists. The courses also comply with standards established
by The National Association of Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA)
for levels 1 and 2. There is as yet no nationally recognized
certification exam in the USA. However, Dr. Buckle is part
of to the Aromatherapy Registration Council (ARC) and helped
create the ARC exam. She is also an advisor to NAHA's Educational
Steering Committee.
