Aromatherapy is more than essential oils—it’s an invitation to connect with nature and the chemistry of the botanical world.
On Essential Aromatica, certified aromatherapist, herbalist, distiller, gardener, and educator Amy Anthony explores the intricate relationship between plants, their aromatic compounds, and their profound effects on us. Essential oils are not mere fragrances; they are chemical messages influencing our emotions, physiology, and state of mind. The Latin word sentir—meaning both “to smell” and “to feel”—reminds us that aromatic molecules are deeply entwined with experience.
Essential Aromatica is an aromatherapy podcast exploring aromatic plants, essential oils, seasonal rhythms, and the intelligence of the natural world. I’m Amy Anthony of NYC Aromatica — aromatherapy practitioner, educator, and lifelong observer of the subtle — inviting you into a space where plants, cycles, and our inner and outer worlds meet.
This podcast isn’t about “an oil for that.” It’s about perceiving. Attuning. Remembering that our nervous system and emotions are the meeting point between mind‑body‑spirit and the wider world — and that aromatherapy can support that relationship.
Episodes explore aromatic plants, story, ecology, and lunar and seasonal themes. We sit with plants like Myrrh, Juniper, Lavender, and Scots Pine not as tools, but as allies and teachers. We tap into folklore, archetypes, and the liminal places where transformation becomes possible.
You’ll also hear from practitioners, distillers, and aromatic thinkers who share their lived relationships with plants and practice.
Whether you’re an aromatherapy practitioner, a curious seeker, or someone drawn to deepening your relationship with the natural world, Essential Aromatica offers a place to slow down, breathe, and connect — with me and the essential oils as your guides.
