AIA
The Alliance of International Aromatherapists (AIA) firmly believes that sustainability is not just a choice, but a responsibility. Recognizing the importance of environmental responsibility, we advocate for ethical sourcing and production practices that prioritize the conservation of plant resources and ultimately the future of aromatherapy. The AIA encourages the use of sustainable farming methods, emphasizing organic cultivation and the protection of biodiversity. We believe in fostering transparent supply chains, supporting fair trade initiatives, and collaborating with producers who share our dedication to environmental stewardship. One tangible way we do this is through our support of small distillers. By prioritizing sustainability, we aim to ensure the long-term availability of aromatic plants, safeguarding both the Earth’s ecosystems and the livelihoods of communities involved in aromatherapy production. Through ongoing education and awareness initiatives, we strive to empower practitioners and enthusiasts to make informed, eco-conscious choices, fostering a harmonious coexistence between the aromatherapy industry and our planet.

Our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren should still be able to benefit from the diversity of nature and also essential oils. It is important to protect this and to support those who put their heart and soul into this. And this is exactly what Airmid does – so we are very happy to have them as a collaboration partner.”
