What To Expect During Your Treatment
Aromatherapy can be practised as a stand-alone treatment or in conjunction with other therapies. Treatments are 90 minutes and conducted on a normal massage treatment table. Your therapist will take details of your medical history and your current concerns and discuss the benefits of various essential oils.
These oils can be used in a variety of ways. The most common applications include direct application to the skin, ambient (such as an oil burner or scented candle) and through direct inhalation. The therapist will often use a combination of these methods. The oils are usually blended for your specific purpose and used in conjunction with massage, facial treatment or some other form of bodywork. Sometimes you will take a blend home with you for further self-treatment and to reinforce the therapist's work.
Aromatherapy
You may have heard Aromatherapy dismissed as a "feel good" indulgence without any therapeutic benefits. Not so!
Scents have a significant effect on our physiology - perfume is an obvious example. And without smell, food becomes tasteless. Scent-based pheromones are well-documented social necessities found throughout the animal kingdom - they induce changes in the behaviour or physiology of another. Scents stimulate change.
Think of freshly baked bread or new-mown grass or summer rain - scents can evoke memories and feelings that have become dormant or suppressed. Their effects are often surprising and distinctly physical.
Benefits
Aromatherapists do not claim to cure, however they have successfully treated a wide variety of disorders including colds, influenza, nausea, headaches, migraines and insomnia (to name just a few) where conventional treatments have proven temporary or ineffectual.
When you make your appointment, be sure to tell the receptionist it's for a 90 minute Aromatherapy treatment.
