Why is essential oil chemistry important? Essential oil chemistry is important because it provides aromatherapists with a breakdown of the naturally-occurring chemical compounds, naturally extracted from plants.

Allergies: How I Treat My Allergies with Aromatherapy

Aroma Notes began back in August 2016, when my daughter came to visit from England and I was studying to become an aromatherapist. I didn’t realize at the time that she had been watching my every move as I worked towards certification.

Don’t get me wrong, I am extremely computer-literate and love all the digital what-nots. Just not so great at remembering the hashtags, the pictures, the memes and the never-ending stream of things to do.
Well, one day I came in from work and “Surprise,” my lovely daughter presented me with “Aroma Notes,” on her phone.
As I looked through the website, read the blog posts she had written, and saw the love she had put into this truly amazing thing (all before I had time to cook dinner) I was filled with … well … love … tears … joy … and everything else you can think of.
Today, I am somewhat better at this aromatherapy blog thing. The hashtags, the pictures, the memes and the never-ending stream of things to do, but I would never be here without my lovely daughter by my side, fondly known as eCherie82.
I hope you enjoy the Aroma Notes we share along the way …
