The Beginning of Aromatherapy’s Popularization Aromatica’s founder, Jerry Kim, first encountered aromatherapy during his university years in Australia. There, instead of visiting hospitals or pharmacies for every ailment, people embraced a culture of preventing and treating illness through essential oils and herbal remedies.He was deeply moved by the way the life energy of plants, condensed into essential oils, could bring harmony to both body and mind. That moment became the seed of Aromatica’s beginning in 2004.“How can we share the healing power and fragrance of essential oils with more people?” This question continues to shape the foundation of our brand philosophy today. Aromatherapy as a Way of Life For over 20 years, Aromatica has crafted products with pure essential oils, choosing nature’s authentic scents over synthetic fragrances.Our mission has been to help people integrate aromatherapy into their daily lives — not merely as consumption, but as a mindful and healthy lifestyle. As awareness of the potential harm of synthetic fragrances has grown, consumers have begun paying attention to ingredients, leading to a renewed interest in natural scents, essential oils, and aromatherapy. To share this culture more deeply, Aromatica launched “One-Day Aromatherapy Classes” — short, immersive sessions where participants could directly experience and learn aromatherapy.The response was remarkable. From friends and couples to parents and children, people across generations showed genuine curiosity and enthusiasm for the world of aromatherapy. Aromatherapy Workshop: The Mechanism of Healing However, a single day of experience wasn’t enough.Participants often expressed, “I want to learn more.”This feedback revealed the need for a deeper, more structured educational program — something bridging the gap between a simple experience and a professional certification. The result was the launch of the Aromatica Aromatherapy Workshop, which began in September 2025. Aromatherapy is not just a wellness trend or a pleasant scent — it is a field of complementary and alternative medicine, aiming to restore balance across the skin, body, and mind.Through this workshop, participants explore the scientific principles behind essential oils, including their mechanisms of action, the effects of olfactory stimulation, absorption through inhalation and skin, and the neurochemical processes involved.This allows for a deeper understanding of both the therapeutic and cosmetic benefits of aromatherapy. Learning the Art of Everyday Healing The workshop goes beyond theory to focus on hands-on, daily healing practices.Each week, participants craft their own room spray, roll-on, perfume, and body oil, experiencing subtle yet powerful changes in their body and mind.Before turning to medication, they learn to listen to their body’s signals and discover how essential oils can offer natural relief and recovery. It’s a journey toward balance — combining the wisdom of aromatherapy with modern medicine to cultivate a personal, holistic wellness lifestyle.

View Course Details Aromatherapy: Beyond Fragrance, Into Complementary & Alternative MedicineDuring my university years, while traveling back and forth to Australia where my family lived, I was first introduced to aromatherapy. In Australia, instead of visiting hospitals or pharmacies when unwell, people embraced a culture of preventing and healing illnesses with essential oils and herbal remedies. This way of life—using essential oils, concentrated with the life force of plants rather than synthetic pharmaceuticals—left a profound impression on me.As my interest in aromatherapy and herbal remedies as alternative medicine grew, I came to realize that the foods and cosmetics I had been using without a second thought contained synthetic fragrances. Derived from petroleum, these synthetic fragrances are not only harmful to both humans and the environment, but also disrupt the body’s hormonal balance.For over 20 years, AROMATICA has dedicated itself to creating products with natural fragrances—essential oils—rather than synthetic ones, enabling more people to easily experience aromatherapy in their daily lives. We take pride in raising awareness of the dangers of synthetic fragrances, introducing EWG to Korea for the first time, and contributing to safer cosmetic ingredients in the domestic market. Now, we move beyond consumption to propose aromatherapy as a daily wellness lifestyle through learning and practice.Aromatherapy is more than just fragrance—it is a field of complementary and alternative medicine that restores balance to the skin, body, and mind. Through this 4-week workshop, you will learn the true essence of aromatherapy and experience its transformative impact in your everyday life.
