Aromatherapy Massage

Aromatherapy is a holistic treatment using essential oils blended in a vegetable oil known as a 'carrier' oil, before being applied to the skin. The treatment promotes well-being of the spirit, emotions and the physical body. These effects are achieved both by inhalation and smell, your sense of smell is the most powerful of all your senses and what you smell can have a dramatic effect on the way you feel, and also by absorption through the skin into the bloodstream.

 Essential Oils

Essential oils are highly aromatic natural extracts taken from plants in a concentrated form. These oils can come from flowers, leaves, stalks, seeds, roots, rinds and resins and each have their own unique therapeutic properties e.g. relaxing, uplifting, energising, soothing, antibacterial, digestive, pain relieving. There are a large number of essential oils available such as rose, lavender, frankincense, sandalwood, bergamot, and this enables the most appropriate oils to be blended to suit your needs and preference.
