Who is this course for?
Any unpaid carer who is looking after someone with a long-term illness, special need or impairment is invited to join this online course.

What the course will cover:

The programme will continue to explore the health benefits of some essential oils (e.g., lavender, peppermint, tea tree, lemon), please bring your favourite essential oils. You will also need massage oil or cream; this can be baby oil or prescribed moisturizing cream (Sebamed, double base gel). Please make it sure to conduct a patch test at least 30 minutes before the start of our first session. This will help you minimize the chance of a negative reaction: apply a small amount of your essential oils and massage oil (or moisturising cream) you will be using on the inside of your wrist. If you noticed a reaction (e.g., redness and itchiness), please follow the instruction of the products you used and consult healthcare provider appropriately.

The programme covers the following:

• Ear reflexology
