The IJPHA provides the reader with informative articles highlighting the practical application of essential oils, research, sustainability and ethics, integrative health, business skills, professionalism and to provide a showcase for practitioner case studies.

Each quarterly issue contains a variety of articles including (but not limited to) profiles of essential oils that are commercially available (but lesser known), chemistry, research, and how to build and maintain a thriving successful business. Articles often feature therapeutic blends, and/or personal care products; industry news, book/product reviews, and current information on issues relevant to the field of Aromatherapy and integrative healthcare.

The professional holistic Aromatherapist assesses the client’s needs physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Addressing the client's needs goes beyond the use of essential oils alone and may include herbs, homeopathic remedies, flower essences, supplements and advice on nutrition, exercise, and techniques for improved relaxation to address the client’s body, mind, and spirit. When necessary, a practitioner may make recommendations to a client to seek complementary care from another provider or to seek advice from an integrative practitioner or doctor. The IJPHA strives to provide information and resources about integrative and complementary healthcare methods, as well as additional “tools” for the professional holistic aromatherapist.
