AromatherapyWhat are Essential Oils?An Essential Oil is the “Living” element of a plant. The purest essences are used in aromatherapy so that the therapeutic properties are maximized. Essential oils are extracted from an array of plant sources including petals, leaves, seeds, bark, stalks and resins from trees. Each essential oil is unique in its fragrance and effects on the body. A blending of oils strengthens the effect of the remedy, such as, the anti-inflammatory action of Chamomile is enhanced when combined with lavender. Essential oils are natural antiseptics, anti-bacterial and anti-viral. These highly potent oils enter the body physically through the skin or inhaled through the olfactory system (sense of smell). This can be achieved through massage, baths, steam inhalation, and sprays. Aromatherapy MassageAn Aromatherapy massage uses the therapeutic powers of essential oils combining the sense of smell with the healing value of touch. It is a firm and soothing massage that relaxes and stimulates the body and mind. Essential oils mix well with fatty oils such as Grapeseed oil and jojoba oil, which absorbs readily through the skin. Once the oils come into contact with the skin, they are immediately assimilated into the circulatory system where they are carried to the various body systems and organs (muscles, joints, respiratory, digestive, immune, the lymphatic and the nervous system).
Aromatherapy is a companion Treatment Aromatherapy is holistic therapy that can promote and maintain health and vitality. It is not meant to replace medical advice or care. One should always seek a medically qualified practitioner for illness - mentally and physically. TestimonialsI have been using essential oils in personal blends for many symptoms like sore muscles, stomach cramps, and stress in my neck and shoulders. It’s helped me a lot. - Janice I try and have an Aromatherapy treatment every 6 weeks. I could never live my life without one. There is no doubt that I am healthier because of regular treatments - it is my stress release. I am a firm believer that essential oils contribute to a healthy immune system. - Karen
