AROMATHERAPY
Aromatherapy is based on the ancient healing art of preventing illness by strengthening the body's self-defence mechanisms, usually through massage, inhalation, baths or compresses.
The massage is firm, yet gentle, so as not to bruise the oils which are of the highest quality, pure and essential. The oils are tailor made for you, blended and decided at your appointment. Your individual blend will enlighten your nasal senses, plus the touch of the massage will help lift you to the place you want to be transported to.
As a holistic treatment, aromatherapy can have a profound effect on physical and psychological wellbeing. There exists the belief that scent; as the most enduring of our senses, has the power to transform our emotions, and heal our bodies.
Some common oils and their uses include:
-
Eucalyptus: for congestion/colds
-
Geranium: for menopausal problems & PMS
-
Lemongrass: for sore or injured muscles
-
Lavender: for relaxation
-
Peppermint: for quick energy
-
Rose: a uterine tonic and aids contractions during childbirth
-
Sandalwood: for relaxation, digestive troubles (esp. due to tension), dry skin
-
Tea Tree: a strong disinfectant, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal
Aromatherapy is often used in conjunction to mainstream medicine to help treat common colds and flu, insomnia, nausea, skin conditions, migraines and headaches and many other ailments.
​Aromatherapy massages are tailored to suit you at your appointment, including pregnancy massages, and children of all ages (subject to health and following your Consultation).
It is important that they are used by a qualified practitioner and not used directly on the skin, as burning or rashes could occur.
