(PRWeb) January 23, 2007 -- The UK's foot health professionals will be meeting up in Newmarket, UK shortly to attend a two-day master class on essential oils for foot and foot related health.
The class which will be run over two consecutive Saturdays (24 & 31 March) and will take place at the British Racing School. It has been organised by the The College of Holistic Podiatrists in association with the London College of Naturopathic Medicine and Health Science.
There are many specialists in foot care (chiropodists, podiatrists and foot health professionals) who prefer to treat patients holistically. Whereas standard care treats foot problems, holistic practitioners believe the cause may lay elsewhere and prefer to treat the whole person. For instance a persistent corn or callus could be due to a back problem causing the sufferer to walk out of alignment.
Essential oils can be potent therefore it is necessary to understand how to use them correctly. The master class will cover:
§ Which oils and blends to use and their properties
§ How to use them safely
§ Contra indications
§ Correct dosage
Practical sessions will be included and those completing the class successfully will be awarded a Certificate of Competence.
Chairman of the College Chris Dodson believes there is a growing need for the training. "Holistic practitioners have long known the benefits of essential oils but also essential is knowing how to use them. The master class will offer that knowledge allowing them to provide a superior service for their patients."
The class fees are £159 for College Members and £175 for non-members which can be paid in installments. Overnight accommodation is available at the British Racing School from £40. Numbers are strictly limited and bookings can be made on 01480 493901.
About the College of Holistic Podiatrists
The College of Holistic Podiatrists was formed in 1999 by chiropodists, podiatrists and foot health professionals concerned their discipline was heading for the straight jacket of regulated medicine.
Holistic practitioners treat 'the whole person' not just the symptoms. They look for underlying physical and psychological causes that may contribute to foot conditions. Many practitioners wish to continue treating patients holistically and the College provides representation, skills development and support to ensure the public has a choice.
