What is Aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is system of caring for the body with botanical oils such as rose, lavender, orange and peppermint. These essential oils can be added to a bath, massaged through the skin, inhaled directly, used with teas, or scented in a room. This therapy is intended to relieve pain, care for the skin, and alleviate tension and fatigue, promote health and wellness. Aromatic essential oils are precious gifts from nature.
Potential benefits of Aromatherapy?
- Can introduce a state of relaxation and rejuvenation
- Relaxes tight and tense muscles
- May improve the quality sleep
- Stimulates blood and lymph circulation
- Reduces tension
- Relieves pain, both specific and general
The therapeutic effects of essential oils vary. Some oils are stimulating, while others are relaxing. Many oils are antiseptic, antibacterial and antifungal such as Tea Tree and help to enhance the protective function of the skin. Certain oils can calm and soothe the skin and others such as Lavender help the skin cells to regenerate. Aromatherapy is an excellent preventative treatment as it helps to relieve stress and related conditions. It stimulates our natural immune body mechanisms and particular oils have an affinity with certain systems of the body helping to alleviate respiratory, digestive, circulatory or hormonal problems. With aromatherapy massage the emphasis is on smooth, flowing movements designed to assist in lymphatic drainage. It increases the nourishment and oxygen to the tissues easing muscular aches and pains and helping with fatigue.
An individual blend of oils will be created for you at each treatment. Team up with a holistic facial and experience an exceptional healing experience. The treatment session is normally one and a half hours, this can however be altered as required. (more time required if you are teaming up the services).
To be used with care:
Essential Oils are powerful and should be used with care. Some oils are contra-indicated for certain health problems and therefore advice should be sought from a qualified Aromatherapist. Essential Oils should always be diluted with a carrier oil and not taken internally or applied to the eyes.
