Write for us
In Essence is the IFPA’s quarterly journal, created to inform, inspire and support the aromatherapy community.
Each issue of In Essence has a theme – for example palliative care, children, young people and families, underserved communities, using aromatherapy in unusual ways and CO2’s and hydrolats. If you have an idea for an article that fits with an upcoming theme, we would be delighted to hear from you.
We welcome contributions from both IFPA members and non-members, as long as the content is relevant and educational for our readership of professional aromatherapists and students.
