NAHA Blog Submission Requirements


• All blogs should be submitted by sending an email to: info@naha.org

• Author is at least a level 2 NAHA certified professional aromatherapist.

• Include a short bio about yourself, and provide NAHA with the links you would like featured. 

• Blog topics should be approximately 600 - 1200 words. We accept, and encourage, longer articles based on the depth of the topic.

• All blogs must be submitted singled spaced in a WORD document format, any pictures included within.  All photos must include copyright tag and permission obtained to use the photo.

• Font size 12 point, Times New Roman, black ink. 

• Both common names and Latin binomials of each essential oil, carrier oil, herb, etc. must be given. Include the common name in regular font and Latin binomial in italic font. For example: Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia). No abbreviations. 

• The common name of all plants and essential oils should not be capitalized, except where punctuation dictates otherwise. The following sentence would be written as: “When you are picking lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) for your distillation...” Do not capitalize the word lavender in this instance. 

• In addition, all plant and essential oil common names should not be capitalized in recipe and blend lists. Therefore, you would list a recipe or blend as follows: “Essential Oils: 20 drops of lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)". 

•  Please include safety cautions/contraindications as applicable, including age groups pertaining to children, elderly, and those with any health issues, etc. Do not include unsafe essential oils or techniques contraindicated in aromatherapy.  NAHA safety standards

• Fact-check your data; especially historical dates and references.

•  Include professional references and bibliography. Cite references using a numbered end note that appears at the end of the document. References should be listed in the bibliography in numerical order, not alphabetical order. Example: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc and not Adams, Brown, Chester etc. This makes it easier for readers to quickly find the appropriate reference in the bibliography.

All submissions are subject to editing, and must contain educational information, rather than marketing a certain product, service, class, etc. Visit the NAHA Writer’s Guidelines for more submission details, and or the NAHA Marketing Guide to learn how to promote your product, business, courses, etc.
