What is an herbalist or aromatherapist legally able to do?
At the time of this writing, there was no licensing for aromatherapists or herbalists in the United States. Minnesota does regulate complementary and alternative practitioners. The diplomas and certificates offered by ACHS are not naturopathic degrees. Please understand that a diploma or certificate does not constitute a license to practice medicine. Unless you are already a licensed health care practitioner, it’s important not to present yourself as a physician in any manner. Many of our programs at ACHS cover legal issues. We also offer a continuing education program: Nat 306 Natural Health Consulting, which addresses these very issues. Students should investigate the laws within the state where they reside.
