WHAT IS AROMATHERAPY?
Aromatherapy is an ancient healing art, which is enjoying a revival in popularity today. Its' ability to treat the stresses of modern life as well as many other ailments, distinguishes it as a therapy which is very beneficial to our hectic lifestyles.
Aromatherapy involves the use of aromatic ‘Essential Oils', which are extracted via distillation and other methods from plants. The Essential Oils are very concentrated and effective and only a few drops are used during each treatment.
Each Essential Oil contains many natural chemicals derived from the plant, which give it diverse therapeutic properties, enabling it to be used for a variety of conditions. The Aromatherapist is therefore able to tailor the choice of oils to suit the specific needs of the individual client.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
In order to be effective, the Essential Oils must be introduced into the bloodstream so that the therapeutic elements may be released.
This can be done in a number of ways, the most popular being by way of massage.
Massage itself is another ancient therapy, which promotes the healthy functioning of the body. It stimulates circulation and helps the blood and lymph to eliminate toxins thus boosting the immune system and allowing the body the chance to heal itself. In addition, the actual process of touching is in itself beneficial - being reassuring, comforting, relaxing and de-stressing.
One can also benefit by using Essential Oils in the bath, in body lotions, and in inhalations.
