Urbana, IA (PRWEB) November 13, 2007 -- Thursday, November 15, at 7:00 p.m. CST, aromatherapy expert Tim Blakley will kick off a series of monthly hour-long online chats from Aura Cacia®, America's leading aromatherapy company. The chats are designed to provide how-to information and interactive discussion of a variety of aromatherapy topics. In the first chat, Blakley will discuss now to easily add a new dimension to holiday celebrations with simple aromatherapy projects using traditional holiday scents such as pine and peppermint.

The series of chats, an extension of Aura Cacia's popular Ask the Expert Q&A feature on its web site, will continue next month with Blakley's tips on reducing holiday stress with aromatherapy. Future topics will cover natural aromatherapy remedies to combat colds and flu, while in February, Blakley will present aromatherapy love potions just in time for Valentine?s Day.

Blakley, aromatherapy trainer for Aura Cacia, has been deeply involved with herbs and aromatherapy for over 25 years, and he is particularly passionate about aromatherapy?the use of pure botanical scents to affect mood and well being. He's a certified aromatherapist who makes essential oils a part of his own daily routine and conducts hundreds of seminars on the subject each year.

"The interactive aspect of my in-person trainings is extremely enjoyable for me," says Blakley, "and it allows participants to ask specific questions on topics most useful to them. I'm looking forward to having similar personal exchanges as a part of these live chats, and answer questions that help people incorporate aromatherapy in their everyday lives."

Blakley will begin his program each month by presenting ideas and tips and then will take questions and encourage participants to share their own aromatherapy experiences. He emphasizes that people with all levels of aromatherapy knowledge are welcome to participate. "One of the advantages of the interactive format," he says, "is that we can respond to individual needs."
