Aromatherapy

What is Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy uses essential oils to promote healing on all levels, both of body and mind. It combines the physical and emotional benefits of massage with the therapeutic and immune-boosting properties of essential oils. The oils chosen and method of application are on a bespoke basis for each person to suit their particular needs.

What can it do?

Specific physical and emotional conditions can be treated as well as being an excellent way to de-stress, relax and restore energy in a busy world. It can help treat muscular, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, hormonal and skin conditions as well as emotional issues.
Aromatherapy seeks to restore harmony between the mind and body and thus promote healing.

What are essential oils?

They are highly concentrated, volatile substances extracted from various parts of aromatic plants.

How is the treatment applied?

One of the most effective ways of applying essential oils is via body massage. This way the skin absorbs the oils quickly and effectively into the body.
Bathing, inhalations or compresses may also be recommended depending on your needs.

What kind of massage is used?

Aromatherapy massage is a relaxing, gentle massage applied with pressure to suit the individual. Deeper tissue massage can also be used as appropriate.

Can I use the oils at home?
