Introduction to Aromatherapy may work slightly differently on different browsers and/or devices. If the course does not immediately appear below, you can also go directly to the course on Versal to take it there. Please note that you may need to create a free account with Versal to begin the course.
On mobile devices, as well as the embedded version below, you can navigate the course at the bottom of each screen by clicking “Next Lesson” (on the bottom right) or select a specific lesson by clicking or pressing the button on the bottom left to bring up the lesson menu. The lesson menu is always available to the left of the screen on the desktop version of the class when you are logged into the Versal website to take the course.
Some lessons have quizzes and you will not be able to go to the next lesson until you answer them correctly. We’ve made these as fun as possible!
We hope you enjoy this free mini course and learn some of the basics of Aromatherapy.
Let’s get started! (If it doesn’t work on the first try, you may need to refresh your browser a few times, try a different browser or device or try going directly to Versal.)

This was a perfect course for me. I’m a beginner and finding you and your site has been a godsend for me. There’s so much information that’s hard to trust when you’re a newbie, so you were EXACTLY what I was hoping to find. Thank you SO MUCH!!
