The NAHA Aromatherapy Journal

Themes of the NAHA Aromatherapy Journal

For the year 2024, we are featuring the following themes:

Spring: Mint and Sage, synopsis: Studying some lesser-known mint and sage herbs in the mint family

Summer: Summer Berries, synopsis: The juicy, fruity goodness of berry oils in all formats

Autumn: Spicy Seeds, synopsis: Seasonal spice with seeds

Winter: Boreal Forests, synopsis: Honoring the sacred and long-lived trees of the boreal forests

These themes fit within the broader theme of seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter), the seasons of life (infancy, childhood, adolescents, adulthood, aging, the elderly, end of life) and seasons of an illness (early stages, middle stages, end stages).

Articles about common conditions that arise during a given season, preventative health before a season arrives, and other pertinent information are also included in this concept. Articles about other topics (not related to the seasons) will be woven into each journal as well.

• Aromatherapy applications and uses.
