Aromatherapy Massage

Aromatherapy is the controlled use of essential oils to maintain and promote physical, psychological and spiritual well being.

Essential oils are the highly concentrated extracts of aromatic plants. The term aromatherapy is a bit misleading, It is not healing exclusively through the sense of smell. Aromatherapy also includes topical (skin) application. Apart from its aroma, each oil also has a combination of properties that interacts with the chemistry of the body and can positively affect certain organs or systems in the body. Essential oils are easily absorbed through the skin or inhalation, entering the blood stream for immediate benefits.

Regular treatments will bring about a dramatic improvement in general health, increased vitality and a visible improvement in the texture and colour of the skin.

Almost all essential oils are antibacterial and promote the production of white blood cells, boosting the immune system and it’s effectiveness at fighting viruses and bacteria. Aromatherapy is also a wonderful treatment for relieving stress and tension, alleviating pain, promoting relaxation, aiding sleep, and reducing the necessity for conventional drugs.

Each essential oil have it's own properties. These properties may include: analgesic, antidepressant, , anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, sedative, uplifting, expectorant, rejuvenating, antiseptic, antibiotic and diuretic.

Because of their different properties, each oil has its own character and individuality. This is why one oil will be used to treat a certain condition in preference to another.

Aromatherapy can help to relieve many health conditions including: allergies, stress, anxiety, bruises, burns, diarrhea, earache, PMS, menopause, fatigue, insect bites, poor digestion, infections, headache, migraines, poor circulation, insomnia, high/low blood pressure, nausea, bronchitis, colds, flu, sinusitis, sprains, wounds, shingles, muscle and joint pain, arthritis, nervousness, restlessness, eczema, psoriasis cellulite and scars. And many, many more.

Essential oils can also affect the mood, alleviate fatigue, relieve depression and anxiety, reduce stress, relax, uplift, sedate or stimulate, and promote relaxation restoring both physical and emotional well-being.

Here are some examples of how the properties of essential oils can work to help various conditions:

Arthritis – anti-inflammatory properties can help arthritis and rheumatism, helping to break down crystals and dissipate the build up of toxins and acids.

Acne – some essential oils are cell vitalising and promote the growth of new tissue.

Back Pain – some essential oils are analgesic, anti-inflammatory, loosen tight muscles.

Menopause – essential oils are balancing, work on the central nervous system to restore balance and promote harmony and well-being.

Infections – some essential oils have powerful anti-bacterial and antiviral properties fight infection and calm inflammation.

Depression – some essential oils stimulate the secretion of neurochemicals which can act as painkillers and induce feelings of well-being making us feel uplifted.

Regular Aromatherapy treatments will bring about a dramatic improvement in general health, increased vitality and an overall sense of well-being.
