Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of concentrated plant essences (essential oils). The natural chemical compositions of the essential oils have been shown through research to posses: stimulant, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, analgesic and relaxant properties.

The most common method of applying essential oils is through massage. Aromatherapy massage is a combination of therapeutic massage and application of a blend of essential oils in vegetable/carrier oil. A detailed consultation is carried out at the end of which a blend of essential oils is chosen to address the needs of the individual as a whole: mind, body and spirit. The depth and sequence of the massage is also tailored to their individual needs.

Aromatherapy massage:

• relaxes and tones tense, tired muscles
• relaxes the nervous system and calms the mind
• reduce the symptoms of stress
• gives relief to chronic health conditions
• gives relief to musculoskeletal disorders
• supports the body’s own healing process

There are other methods of applying essential oils. These are: hydrotherapy, inhalations, topical applications and compresses. These can be provided in the form of home care treatments.

• Hydrotherapy (bath/shower gels) relieves pain and muscle spasm, symptoms of stress and insomnia
• Inhalations (dry or moist) relieve symptoms of sinusitis, colds/flu, respiratory conditions, symptoms of stress and insomnia
• Topical applications (lotions/creams/gels) relieve muscular pain and spasm, inflamed joints and skin conditions
• Compresses (hot/cold) relieve muscle and joint injuries, headaches and migraines
