The journal has grown from an 8 page newsletter in the late 80's to a 30 - 40 page journal. This has been possible by the input of members and friends of the association.The journal is comprised of informative articles, case studies, products reviews, upcoming events, reports from council, book reviews, competitions and much, much more. Articles are written especially for the journal so they are designed to inform and educate aromatherapists as well as people generally interested in aromatherapy. Companies and individuals advertise their products, skills or other services in the journal, which allows readers to be kept up to date with new products and courses relevant to aromatherapists.
