Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy literally means, ‘aroma’ being the fragrances of essential oils, and ‘therapy’ being the way in which the fragrance is applied to relieve physical symptoms and promote mental well-being.

The oils can be used simply for their fragrance and its effects on mood and emotion, but in professional practice their physiological effect is central. This is generally obtained through the oils being used in massage treatment. This approach is notably beneficial for the treatment of stress-related disorders and requires a substantial degree of training, both in acquiring massage techniques and in understanding the many and varied properties of the essential oils that may be used.

In professional medical practice, it is the substances or oils themselves and their bio-chemical effects that are central. I find the pharmacology of essential oils a fascinating subject, and I am qualified to make a personal formula that is unique to each client so it will truly benefit the client in a holistic way.

I am also able to make personal and unique bath and shower gels so that the client will benefit from the selected essential oils at home. These personal and unique formulas cannot be bought on the High Street.
