Is there college classes relating to a natural field of study?
I'm wanting to learn and study about essential oils, herbs, and perhaps vitamins; and their effect on humans, animals, etc. Is there such thing as a career or even a major associated with any of these topics? I've been studying these natural products and their effect on myself in treatments for acne along with many other uses. Any ideas?
Please keep in mind that I've already gone to classes relating to massage therapy, and this is not the area of study that I'm looking for. I would like to achieve a higher level of education from a standard college. Thanks again!

Hi,
Yes I have worked as an aromatherapist for 18 years, but I am not a massage therapist. I treat people with essential oils and vitamin therapy using creams and lotions.
You will find it very rewarding, and a lot less tiring than doing massage.
I would recommend visiting the websites of the International Federation of Aromatherapists, http://www.ifaroma.org
and the international federation of professional aromatherapists
http://www.ifparoma.org/
who have member schools and an agreed syllabus and accreditation scheme.
Make sure you look for a school that focuses on home treatments and dispensary. There are also a number of universities in the Uk that do a degree in complementary therapies that has a very broad skill set.
Hope that helps.
