Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils. In combination with massage, the healing property of the oils come not only from the contact with the skin, but the effects of their aroma, creating a deeper, more effective massage experience to promote natural healing and health.

 

The principle behind orthodox medicine is that illness is seen as something to be treated by suppression of the symptoms, often using harsh, synthetic drugs. This is in stark contrast to the holistic approach used in aromatherapy, which aims to treat the whole person: mind, body and soul (or spirit).

Symptoms of illness - or 'dis-ease' - are seen as an imbalance of energies and treatment with essential oils works in conjunction with the body attempting to heal itself.

 

Essential oils are chosen which have an affinity with certain systems of the body, helping to alleviate muscular aches and pains, fatigue, respiratory, digestive, circulatory, hormonal, stress and stress-related problems. They will also have subtle effects on the mind and emotions, bringing relaxation, balance and harmony.
