Event Highlight: Aromatherapy in Cancer Care

Although we wish it wasn’t the case, most people have had cancer touch their lives in some way, whether they are a survivor, caretaker, relative, or friend. 

We are proud to announce that the Aromatherapy Faculty at ACHS will be presenting a special event this November 2021 on the role of Aromatherapy in Cancer Care.

This series of webinar presentations is designed to highlight the current body of research demonstrating the potential aromatherapy has as a complementary part of cancer care. We recognize the value and need for evidence-based information on this topic for students, alumni, aromatherapists, healthcare providers, and the public alike.

If you have had questions about how aromatherapy can safely support individuals who are undergoing cancer care, cancer survivors, or their caregivers, in an evidence-based way, this is the event for you!
