Summary:
Learn how to apply the best of complementary medicine alongside allopathic treatment, in the context of Cancer-care.
Overview
This course, for those either working in the field of Cancer-care or for
those interested in this topic. The Course is geared to qualified and
practising Aromatherapists but we allow anyone to come on it as there is so
much valuable information and much value to be had from using essential oils
for their aroma alone. We clearly define what parts cannot be utilised by
non-Aromatherapists and the mix of abilities works very well as hospice workers
and carers bring in a very different dimension to the course which is
valuable for therapists
It was prepared by one of our Principal Tutors and has the unique
perspective of her experiences with malignant melanoma. Given a 40% chance of
surviving 5 years, she decided to plumb the depths of her resources and gather
what she perceived to be the best of both allopathic and complementary medicine
and use them to her own advantage. So far, she is still very much alive and a
great deal wiser about the human body and psyche.
For qualified Aromatherapists
We also take those with no prior experience
