Research on Innovative Approaches in Aromatherapy

Abstract

This research aims to discuss and study the innovative approaches in aromatherapy. The “NAHAII Advanced-Level Course in Aromatherapy†developed by the International Association of Aromatherapy was selected as the study reference for future educational and vocational training programs in aromatherapy. The authors conducted this study using innovative approaches on multiple cases, including in-class observations, interviews and analyses on related documents. The results showed that the trainees praised such curriculum highly and benefited from the approach greatly due to its practicability, asynchronous online learning, situated teaching approach, interactive forum and internship programs.
