Are you ready to discover how to use essential oils to enhance your immune system, cultivate more life force, dispel inflammation and relax your body and mind?

Discover practical, time-tested healing methods for using essential oils to restore your energy, increase your mental focus, foster optimal wellness and advance spiritually.

The use of aromatic compounds for healing is an ancient art AND science, stretching far back in the history of India, Egypt and the Americas.

Traditional practitioners used aromatherapy for a simple reason: it works. The way it worked was described according to the principles and concepts of traditional medical systems.

Modern science is helping to bridge the gap from traditional knowledge, showing that specific aromatics can affect our central nervous system, our endocrine system, our musculoskeletal system, our immune system and more.

There is also now solid research that shows that aromatic compounds trigger our neurochemistry in specific ways, which then affects how our whole body relates to stressors.

And if we look beyond the biological science of aromatics, we discover that they have a profound impact on our subtle bodies and energy systems. There’s a reason that frankincense was highly valued in ancient temples; modern research shows that it can help create heightened states of awareness and unitive states of consciousness.

So whether you are aiming to support your physical, emotional, mental or spiritual wellbeing, aromatherapy has an important role to play.

Simply put, essential oils offer one of the easiest ways to get you on the path to good health.

As you become more skilled in working with aromatherapy, you can start to diagnose HOW you are out of balance and apply specific, non-invasive essential oil remedies that revitalize you and restore your balance and natural health.

You discover how to use essential oils more effectively to treat your whole system as well as specific conditions.

This is true whether you’re talking about dental health, skin care, digestive issues, respiratory problems or emotional instability.

A Breakthrough in Healing on the Subtle Levels

In the exciting brand new online program, The Aromatherapy Advanced Training, you have the chance to learn from David Crow, one of the most respected botanical medicine pioneers in the world, who will teach you how to approach healing safely and effectively with essential oils.

You’ll discover what’s important for different constitutional types (using both the Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine systems) as well as how to receive the most benefit from a wide range of essential oils, both common and relatively unknown.

You’ll understand how to improve your concentration and memory, ground and calm yourself, heal your circulatory system, treat skin conditions, access higher consciousness and much more.

You’ll also discover how to reduce stress and promote deep and restorative sleep.

You’ll learn about the safe uses of oils topically and in diffuser applications as well as how to use aromatic baths, medicated oils, steam treatments and other aromatic therapies.

This advanced training will also take you to a much deeper, richer and multi-faceted understanding of medicinal botanicals. In the modern West, we’ve been raised to think of plants as objects that exist chiefly for our pleasure and consumption. We use them to nourish our bodies and beautify our gardens and homes.

The truth is that plants, and the essential oils we derive from them, are so much more than that. They can help you evolve on many levels...

They can detoxify your body, purify your mind, rebalance your emotions and reboot your energy.

They can help you heal disease and expand your vision.

Plants can also reveal to us an entirely different relationship with the natural world.

As you learn to open to the deeper blessings of plants through the wise use of essential oils, you can receive more of their healing and medicinal powers and put yourself on a path to higher consciousness.

Ancient seers, mystics and healers discovered many hidden aspects of the plant kingdom and passed down that knowledge in different healing lineages. Now, in David’s 6-month program, you can harvest the best of multiple healing lineages to create a new, expansive and natural approach to healing for your health and wholeness.

A New Paradigm of Relating to Essential Oils

Rather than sifting through and distilling an endless array of information on your own, you can take this 6-month virtual journey with a master guide who has dedicated his life to exploring, classifying and documenting the practical, medical, psychological and spiritual powers of essential oils and how to safely use them.

Floracopeia founder David Crow, L.Ac. is one of today’s greatest synthesizers of the vast knowledge contained within the plant kingdom. He not only has assimilated the research, he’s spent decades immersed in the ancient healing arts. He can guide you through the hype and misinformation common in this field.

David has journeyed deep into the Ayurvedic tradition as well as the Chinese tradition and studied with masters the world over.

He’s deeply trained in spiritual practices as well as healing traditions, so he shows you not just what to take but how to have a wholly new relationship with essential oils derived from plants.

A Cornucopia of Practical Healing Wisdom

In The Aromatherapy Advanced Training, David has synthesized proven techniques, tips and strategies for accessing the profound healing, restorative, medicinal and spiritual powers of essential oils in 18 information-rich modules.

With all the poor-quality information about essential oils floating around, many people have had sub-optimal experiences with aromatherapy. David will help clear away the misconceptions and show you safe, non-invasive and effective ways to use essential oils to balance your body, harmonize your environment and optimize your wellbeing.

He’ll explain the critical role essential oils can play in purification and detoxification of the body and mind.

He’ll escort you across the threshold of an enthralling new world that empowers effective healing and nourishment of your body, mind and soul — and those of your loved ones.

You’ll never look at essential oils the same way again. When you choose to take this journey with David, you’ll gain a profound understanding that links biology, ecology and spirituality with a felt sense of connection with all of life.

In every class, you’ll gain important information about essential oils that can enhance your physical and emotional wellbeing. Ultimately, you’ll see that each and every plant, herb and flower can open a pathway into a deeper relationship with your body, mind and soul — and thus serve as a portal to personal transformation.

By the end of the journey, you’ll have a solid foundation for a lifetime of safe use of essential oils.

This program is appropriate for anyone intrigued by the healing and evolutionary benefits of botanical medicine as well as professionals in any discipline who work with essential oils.

You’ll benefit from David’s more than 30 years of studying the healing powers of plants in various cultures with many gifted teachers — from the shamanic traditions of the Amazon to the alchemical mysteries of the Himalayas to the ancient wisdom of Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine.

We are confident you will find this unique offering deeply enriching and practical.

More Praise for David Crow...

I wish I was a good writer in order to fully express how since taking the course I seem to have developed a deep love and a relationship with the plants around me. About 5 years ago I had the concrete in my front yard removed. I could not understand why I could not accept planter boxes rather than going through all the trouble anxiety and criticism from my neighbors. Now when I come home I am greeted by a lush array of plants. I now speak to them and thank them for the beautiful healing energy they provide. I am also slowly removing the concrete from the backyard but with great enthusiasm — not with the anxiety I experienced prior.
— Jacqueline, Brooklyn, New York

Many insights from a good teacher. I especially appreciated the experiential part, how David Crow led us to many places which we can now continue to explore on our own. I came away with a profound sense of the interconnectedness and deep wisdom of nature, and life moving through all of it and us.
— Diana Mongeau, British Columbia, Canada

What I liked most of this course is that it made me aware of the importance of the plants in our daily life. How we can communicate with them and obtain answers. It sound a little funny, but, yes, it’s all in paying attention. I liked very much the information of the healing oils and want to learn more about this theme. I really look forward to learn more and be able to pass the information on.
— Maria Elisa Calero, Colombia, South America

I really found this enriching, deep, profound and affecting. Loved the depth of knowledge and insight and level of integrity that came across...! Many thanks.”
— Annie Le Marquand, Cornwall, United Kingdom

“In this course David Crow shares a unique blend of knowledge and perspectives from ancient and modern cultures. I appreciated the practical approach to spirituality and the participatory focus to learning. I look forward to reflecting and further absorbing insights from the course over time.
— Sarah Weber, British Columbia, Canada

The information in this course was extraordinary, and has so many implications for the way we live our lives and for the preservation of our beloved Earth. I feel this could be transformative if truly taken to heart.
— Valerie, Devon, England

This course has profoundly deepened my meditation practice. Fabulous insights and wonderful reverence for the plant world. Thank you so much for this learning experience.
— Silvia Rudzki, Wellington, New Zealand

This course has heightened my awareness of plant life of all kinds as beings and presence. My relationship and awareness, even with my own garden has changed significantly in a way that is intensely spiritual and (though the words aren’t quite right) awe-inspiring. This has been one of the most profound and consciousness-expanding courses I have ever taken.
— Beverly Kune, Santa Fe, New Mexico

I wasn’t sure if anyone in my family would be as engaged as I was. My 84 year-old mom was blown away and listened to four lectures. My sister read through the transcripts. My friends listened to some of the lectures. It was highly interesting and unique material for all of us. I hope to continue with another class, and/or start some personal study of the many topics presented.
— Connie, Chapel Hill, North Carolina

At the risk of sounding certifiably crazy... many years ago I had a very lucid dream in which a "higher being" clothed in a hooded robe was imparting the "secrets of the universe" to me. I knew what I was being told was of supreme importance, and when I awoke the only part I remembered was being told that nature "leans into us (humanity), which allows for our being." I understood this on an intuitive level, but not until hearing David lecture did I understand what this means biologically, psychologically and spiritually. I am very, very pleased with the content and depth of this course and consider the imparted information priceless.
— Bonnie Davis, Dallas, Texas

I’ve always had a connection with the moon, and I could never explain why. I’ve always had a connection with plants, and people thought I was unique. Learning about the connection of the moon and sun with the plants, then incorporating the meditation, WOW!!! My existence isn’t isolated to the physicality of my body here on earth, but my presence has expanded through the plants, animals, and others, and my presence is now of an energy that goes beyond the physical and is now the energy of color, smell, health, and, and, and... this is more of who and what I am. I want to know more, so I can share more. Thank you David!
— Carmen, Waukesha, Wisconsin
