Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the art of applying essential oils, usually by massaging the “stress” areas of the body such as back, shoulders, face and legs. Essential oils are extracts that contain the substances that give plants their smell.
Aromatherapy is believed to be suitable for people of all ages, even babies. Aromatherapists treat many conditions, and often see a great improvement in nervous disorders, such as depression, anger, stress and other related symptoms such as headaches and insomnia.
What happens during a treatment?
You will be asked to sit on a special massage chair or lie on a massage couch. You may need to undress, but only the parts that will be receiving treatment. You will be allowed to undress and dress in private and the therapist will keep your body covered with a towel and blanket during the whole treatment. The therapist will use her knowledge and skills to select essential oils that will best help your condition. She will add these oils to a “carrier oil” such as almond or coconut oil and this will be massaged into your skin. The experience is relaxing.
