Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the systematic use of essential oils in holistic treatments that seeks to improve physical and emotional well-being.
Essential oils, extracted from plants are thought to possess distinctive therapeutic properties, which may be utilised to improve health and prevent disease.
These natural plant oils are applied in a variety of ways, such as massage, bathing or vaporising.
An essential oil is an aromatic, volatile substance extracted from a single botanical source by distillation or expression.
Essential oils have been utilised in fragrances, flavours and medicines for thousands of years and there are some 400 different oils extracted from plants all over the world.
An Aromatherapy Treatment
The treatment starts with a full consultation about your previous medical history, general health and lifestyle. This enables me to choose the most apropriate essential oils for you.
The pure essential oils are then mixed with a pure carrier oil and massaged slowly into your face and body. The treatment will last about 1 1/2 hours.
A relaxing Aromatherapy treatment is thought to produce both psychological and physiological effects and is mostly used for stress and stress related conditions.
