What is Aromatherapy?
It is the art and science of using oils extracted from aromatic plants to enhance
health and beauty. Apart from the physical benefits, essential oils can have subtle
effects on the mind and emotions. The essential oils taken from plants and used in
Aromatherapy have been described as their "life force" - they are essential to
the plants' biological process, as well as being the substance which gives them their
scent.
Aromatherapy combines the soothing, healing touch of massage with the therapeutic
properties of essential oils. Aromatherapy is a holistic treatment which can have a
profound effect on the mind, body and emotions.
Aromatherapy massage and oils can help to relieve the symptoms caused by tension,
RSI, back-neck-shoulder pain, sports injuries, rheumatic or arthritic disorders, post
operative trauma and scar tissue, headaches, migraine, sinus and lymphatic congestion,
digestive and menstrual disorders.
