Hi, i am doing aromatherapy at colleage and been told to look up the aromatherapy legisaltion, but can not find it anywhere, can anyone help me?
thanks
Hi Froggy
The problem is there is no such thing as aromatherapy legislation.
Are you talking about the production and use of essential oils or the aromatherapy profession itself? Because in terms of the profession it may go VSR, but that's not statutory.

Hi Froggy,
I'm not sure which course you are doing, I did the ITEC course and we covered legislation as part of the course. I can't find my notes, but if you check the following link to the ITEC sylabus it lists some of the aromatherapy legislation:
[DLMURL] http://www.itecworld.co.uk/Syllabus/Aromatherapy/Aromatherapy%20Syllabus.pdf [/DLMURL]
See section 27. Some of which you may already have studied, health and safety etc.. But other legislation covers labelling on products, not stating that the products will have a medical benefit, use of products, etc..
Also see the website of the Aromatherapy Council:
This should get you started..
Good Luck
