AROMATHERAPY

Aromatherapy is "the art and science of using pure plant essential oils". Aromatherapy has been used for thousands of years and dates back to the Eyptian times.

The stress of modern life can take its toll on the body, mind and spirit. Aromatherapy massage is a gentle form of massage using pure plant essential oils - "the oils do the work!".

First of all I would start with a consultation to discuss any medical problems or common ailments and determine what you are looking for or want to achieve from the session. You would then be involved in the process of choosing what essential oils you would like, so the blend is tailor-made specifically for you and your needs.

The types of conditions/common ailments aromatherapy is good for, although there are many more, are:

Stress, anxiety, muscular aches and pains, skin complaints like acne, athlete's foot or just perfect for unwinding, relaxing or pampering yourself.

It should be noted that although essential oils are taken from plants, not all essential oils are safe to use. There are several essential oils that are toxic and should never to used in aromatherapy. Essential oils should never be ingested; only under the guidance and control of a medically qualified doctor.

Essential oils have so many healing properties that more and more people are deciding to have this fantastic therapy to aid their wellbeing.
