AD: Martin's AT Course and EO Monographs ** Was: Cheap Courses - Beware

[Guest guest]

Hey y'all,

 

Since this is Ad Day .. I'm gonna make an advertisement for someone else.

 

Before I touch on Martin's Essential Oils Monographs .. I'm gonna top post a

short discussion on his Aromatherapy Course. I have posted this info to

another group so this will be redundant for some folks. I review dozens of

web sites each month and rare it is that I can't find totally incorrect

information on Essential Oils and safe use of same. The old rumors that

plague this industry are difficult to stifle because folks pick up on them

and use them for marketing purposes. Its hard to say if they do this out

of greed or ignorance .. probably a combination of the two because one does

not have to remain ignorant .. but gaining correct information can put a

crimp in one's marketing hype. ;-)

 

It is my (less than humble) professional opinion that his course is the best

one around .. its totally professional and allows one to learn the correct

information the first time around .. which is better than having to

" unlearn " the crap that is out and about .. that course is Martin Watt's

Course .. http://www.aromamedical.com/coursedetails.html

 

Martin's Course is $458 - $497 .. depending on whether you want hard copy or

CD. Other courses are generally much higher .. but if they were much lower

they would have a tough time meeting the standards of his course. I've

taken his and one other .. long, long ago.

 

I had to tell you folks this cause the rascal doesn't promote his own

course. He depends on word of mouth from others who have taken the course

and/or purchased the Monographs. ;-)

If you check out the Essential Oil Monographs at

http://www.aromamedical.com/paper.html you'll see that there are a total of

354 pages covering the 57 Essential Oils most commonly used in AT. My set

is dog eared now. A wise investment it is for sure. When I see folks on or

off list asking questions on various EO I know that they do not own the EO

Monographs. ;-)

 

I have absolutely no commercial interests in Martin's AT Course or his EO

Monographs .. nor do I receive a commission from sales! I do, however,

have an interest in seeing folks in this industry learn the facts about

Essential Oils and safe use of same .. it makes my job a lot easier when I

sell them and when I reply to numerous off line inquiries each day. :-)

In fact, I care about this industry and have long been disturbed about the

direction it is heading .. rumors, marketing hype, misinformation and

disinformation seem to be more common than credible information. One of

these days I'm gonna post a trivia contest with questions on Essential Oils

... its gonna upset some folks when they try to justify their WRONG answers!

On the other hand, its gonna open the eyes of those who aren't opposed to

having their balloons burst and don't object to replacing long held rumors

with facts.

 

As I said, I do care about this industry .. but not as much as I used to.

Each day I find myself more and more wondering why I am sitting in front of

this PC monitor instead of spending more time dealing with my gardens and

playing games with my son. ;-)

 

Y'all keep smiling. :-)

Thank you both for responding about the monographs. I am going to

look into getting them as I have Plant Aromatics and refer to it

often. And Butch, thanks for still squeezing in your replies-but

enjoy that garden and your son, your time with him is priceless. Susan

Does anyone have any experience with Sylla Sheppard-Hanger Atlantic

Institute course? A friend of mine always recommends her reference

manual...

 

I wonder how these two compare.

 

Take care,
