What determines the composition of an essential oil? Why are essential oils so complex? An “essential oil” is the liquid that is distilled (or expressed) from a plant. This class is a dive into what happens before we harvest aromatic plants to create essential oils. Petra looks at why and how plants create volatile compounds that form their essential oils, and explains what determines both the similarities and the variations in different oils.

You love essential oils, and you got hooked into aromatherapy, but nobody told you there will be math. And looking at all the ratios, percentages, milliliters, drops, dilutions and charts can seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be! Join Hana Tisserand as she guides you through calculations and conversions with ease, giving you simple tools and making sure you get it, so you will never again have to ask: “How many drops is that?”

Hands – perhaps our most essential tools, and yet they are often neglected. Whether it’s spring gardening, washing with soap, sanitizing with high-alcohol gloop, our hands can quickly become parched, sensitive and inflamed. Extremes of weather – hot, cold, dry or humid – all of them challenge the barrier function of our skin. With an essential oil blend devised by Robert Tisserand, our Fresh Lavender Hand Rescue Bar is easy to make, and even easier to keep and use.

Do you want to check a claim for an essential oil, or look for new evidence in a specific area? There are many reasons we turn to published research. This class will equip you with enough understanding of how research is conducted, reported and critiqued, to assess the quality and relevance of the document you are reading. Dr Joy will empower you to become the detective – building your case, evaluating the evidence, and then coming to a conclusion.
Tutor: Joy Bowles, PhD
Do some essential oils improve with age? What is a “still note”? Can an essential oil oxidize if it is also an antioxidant? How do I know if an essential oil has oxidized? Robert Tisserand explains how oxidation impacts both safety and efficacy, how to best protect your oils from oxidation, and what to do once they have oxidized. Included is a printable handout with the shelf lives of most commonly used essential oils.
