Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of essential oils to promote healing of the body and mind. The oils are extracted from plants and contain highly aromatic plant hormones or essences which have powerful healing properties.

Each oil has its own unique, organic chemical makeup and individual therapeutic effect.

Before being applied to the body the oils are diluted in a vegetable or nut-based carrier oil as most essential oils are too strong to be applied directly to the skin.

A synergistic blend of up to four different oils is skillfully and sensitively chosen to suit the individual’s needs.

Essential oils affect the body in different ways – they are:

• absorbed through the skin and lungs, finding their way into the blood stream where they are transported to the organs and systems of the body to therapeutically affect the running of the body.
• breathed in through the nose accessing the olfactory system – which immediately stimulates the brain to release endorphines which affect the body, mind and emotions.

Due to the potency of essential oils it is important that they are only used by qualified aromatherapists.

We use essential oils in all of our oil-based bodywork sessions – unless we are asked not to.

We offer two to three hour sessions of Aromatherapy and charge £55 per hour.
