Is there a type of license needed to practice aromatherapy?
No. At this time there is no STATE licensure or laws for aromatherapy. Most qualified aromatherapists incorporate their aromatherapy training with another profession that they are ‘licensed’ in, ie; Massage Therapist, Registered Nurse, Licensed Acupuncturist, Medical Doctor, Naturopath Physician etc. Any topical application of essential oils would require one to have a professional license ie; massage therapy. Depending on the STATE that you reside and offer your services in, you would need to contact the STATE Board of the particular profession for more information.
