An 8–10-page research paper is a requirement for NAHA and AIA certification. This is a great opportunity to explore a topic that interests you!
You can choose from many Aromatherapy related topics. Here are a few ideas to get you thinking. Feel free to use any of the ideas listed, or come up with a topic of your own.
Research an aspect of Aromatherapy that captures your interest. (Energetics of essential oils, plant botany, chemistry, massage and oils, plant families, history of Aromatherapy…)
Research how essential oils are being used to treat or prevent certain diseases or health challenges that interest you. For example insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome, stress-related muscular pain, Alzheimer’s, various skin issues, bronchitis, burns, PTSD, etc.
A combination of a literature review (for example, exploring research, information from Aromatherapy journals and books) and personal reflection are both part of your paper.
Using the compiled research reference as a springboard to make a case for your own thoughts on what you have learned while exploring your topic is an important aspect of the paper. Be sure to use add experiences related to the topic to your conclusions.
* Papers and case studies on the use of essential oils on animals or the internal use of essential oil can not be accepted as these topics are not covered in the Aromatherapy Certification Program.
Be sure to cite/reference all material used in your paper from another source. Papers submitted without citations can not be accepted! When discussing essential oils, be sure to use the common name, correct Latin name, and when appropriate, chemotypes. Use 12pt fonts (Times New Roman, Arial, Bookman or Courier) and double spacing.
