THE THERAPIES - AROMATHERAPY

For centuries many cultures have used plants as an aid to healing.

By using essential oils derived from plants the Aromatherapist is able to help treat many conditions including:

• Anxiety and Stress

• Digestive problems

• Headaches

• Muscular aches and pains

Essential oils are normally blended with a base oil such as almond or grapeseed oil and then massaged onto the skin. They can be also be added to baths, mixed in creams and lotions and applied as hot or cold compresses.

During your first appointment the Aromatherapist will carry out a detailed medical history and will also ask questions relating to your lifestyle such as sleep pattern, eating and drinking habits.This will enable him/her to assertain the most suitable essential oils to be used during your massage and ensure that the blend of oils are specifically suited to your requirements.
