“When in doubt, just smell the oil.” Olfaction doesn’t get the credit it deserves. People tend to forget that when we inhale essential oils, we are taking those vapors into our body, and we are reaping their benefits. There is so much disconnect from olfaction in the current paradigm of aromatherapy education. That needs to change. In this episode, Amy talks with Certified Aromatherapist and Artisan Distiller Amy Anthony. They cover topics ranging from making aromatherapy training and education more accessible, to how they both feel frustrated by the overemphasis on aromatic chemistry rather than olfaction, when it comes to aromatherapy certification training. Amy Anthony is the host of her own podcast, Essential Aromatica, and the founder of NYC Aromatica.
