Aromatherapy Massage, Aromatherapy Facial Massage & Aromatherapy Preparations
What better way to enhance our wellbeing than by adding the benefits of nature into the mix through the use of essential oils. This is where Aromatherapy comes in.
Nature’s benefits are being proven more and more to help improve our health and wellbeing both physiologically and psychologically. Through the principles of Aromatherapy we can use the benefits of essential oils which come from a variety of plants – including flowers, trees, shrubs and fruits to enhance our sense of wellbeing.
The benefits of Aromatherapy have been around for years. Civilisations in Ancient Egypt and the Roman Empire used plants and herbs for a variety of purposes but the naming of it as a therapeutic treatment only dates back to the 1920s.
Essential oils can be used through massage or through the creation of preparations and using the oils via our olfactory system (our sense of smell) which can have a powerful effect emotionally.
An Aromatherapy Massage or Facial Massage uses the power of essential oils blended with carrier oils to create a specific blend of oils for specific health issues and benefits, or for pure relaxation. Using a synergy of oils can create a far more powerful benefit rather than just using one oil. It also encompasses a variety of massage techniques and some acupressure techniques.
In an Aromatherapy Massage or Facial Massage you can relax from the moment you lie down on the couch and let the worries of your day slip away and focus on nothing but pure relaxation during your session while the oils work their magic!
Prior to your session, we will have had a telephone conversation to take your medical history and find out your needs and aims for the session so that the oils can be planned and tailored to your exact requirements. On the day, you will get to smell the aroma of the oils prior to blending to ensure the aromas and blend meets with your needs and from there you can let the oils do the work.
