What is aromatherapy?

---

Aromatherapy is the controlled use of essential oils extracted from plants, to promote and maintain a balance of both the body and mind. Aromatherapy combines the soothing, healing touch of massage with the therapeutic properties of Essential Oils. Aromatherapy is a holistic treatment which can have a profound effect on the mind, body and emotions.

Many of the oils used in Aromatherapy have a long history of therapeutic use. Aromatherapy works on our sense of smell and by absorption into the bloodstream.

When you inhale essential oil molecules, messages are transmitted to the limbic system and affect heart rate, stress level, blood pressure, breathing, memory, digestion, and the immune system.


Why use aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy Treatments can help with a range of problems from illness and injury, to stress-related conditions. No matter what your complaint, there is likely to be an aromatherapy treatment that can help. Whilst it is important that patients understand that aromatherapy cannot always cure an illness, medical professionals are beginning to recognise the benefits of treating a condition in a more holistic and natural way.

Aromatherapy massage is particularly suited to conditions involving stress or improving emotionally-related conditions such as stress, insomnia, headache, digestive disorders, premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and back pain.

Massage has a powerful effect on the body and the emotions; combined with the therapeutic qualities of essential oils; massage can be a very invigorating or a deeply relaxing experience. Aromatherapists practice holistically (treating the whole person) and try to find treatments and oils that suit their client’s individual physical, emotional and mental needs.
