If you want professional advice or treatment you should visit a certified aromatherapist. This is important as aromatherapy is something that can be studied and carried out by anyone, provided they have good, reliable information and read all instructions carefully before using any essential oils or aromatherapy products.

You can get a list of certified aromatherapists in your area by contacting a recognized aromatherapy alliance, federation or institution. For UK based aromatherapists, contact The International Federation of Aromatherapists on (UK 020) 8742 2605. For US based aromatherapists, contact The American Alliance of Aromatherapy on (US 707) 778 6762.

An aromatherapist can be employed to treat practically any condition you have, although this in no respect means that any conventional medical treatment you are receiving should be suspended. Some people simply visit their aromatherapist for a massage, as the essential oils used by the aromatherapist are often found to enhance and improve the therapeutic qualities of the massage.

Whether you are seeking treatment for a medical condition, or simply to find out more information about aromatherapy and how it can benefit you, you should expect the following standards and care.

The traits of a good aromatherapist: things they should always do…

1. Sit down with the patient and discuss what he or she hopes to get out of the visit, regardless of whether this is the first or the tenth consultation.

2. Note down any physical symptoms, as well as the general mood and temperament of the person, as this can be indicative of a specific problem.

3. Enquire about the patient’s medical history, including details of any allergies or health conditions that they have, as well as any medicine – prescribed or otherwise – that they are currently taking.

4. Take contact details of the person’s doctor or health adviser, as well as personal details such as their address, age, weight, diet, exercise regime and general fitness, etc.

5. Give the patient full details of any treatment or products he or she feels the patient will benefit from, whether this treatment is to be dispensed by the aromatherapist or by the patient him or herself.

6. Maintain complete patient confidentiality - any details that you share with your aromatherapist should be kept completely confidential.
