Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is the use of pure essential oils renowned for their therapeutic properties in holistic treatments, to help promote health and enhance wellbeing, on both physical and emotional levels, aiding relaxation, restoring balance and revitalising mind, body and spirit.

Extracted mainly by means of distillation and expression from a single botanical source, essential oils are aromatic, highly concentrated, and have distinct therapeutic properties. Some are classed as calming and sedative, others are uplifting, stimulating and a tonic to the nervous system, and are helpful aids for stress, and stress related conditions.

Essential oils benefit various conditions and systems of the body, including the nervous, muscular, circulatory and lymphatic systems, and are absorbed into the body by means of inhalation, or absorption of the oil into the skin.

Massage during aromatherapy treatments, further aids the absorption of oils into the body, helps improve skin condition and speeds up lymphatic drainage, eliminating excess toxins from the body, stimulating the body’s natural immunity, and helps relieve stress and tension to promote a feeling of general relaxation and well-being.
