(Aromatherapy Practitioner)

Aromatherapy, commonly associated with complementary and alternative medicine is the use of volatile liquid plant materials, known as essential oils, and other aromatic compounds from plants to affect someone's mood or health.

When aromatherapy is used for the treatment or prevention of disease, a precise knowledge of the bioactivity and synergy of the essential oils used, knowledge of the dosage and duration of application, as well as, naturally, a medical diagnosis, are required. In the Anglo-Saxon world, even among "natural" practitioners like herbalists or naturopaths, aromatherapy is regarded more as an art form than a valid healing science. from Wikipedia.
