Aromatherapy Massage & Oriental Medicine
Aromatherapy combines the use of essential oils and therapeutic massage. Aromatherapy works on the basis of allowing the scent of essential oils to be inhaled through the nose. The aroma is picked up by the olfactory receptors in the nose, which pass a ‘message’ to the mood centre of the brain. A small amount of oil penetrates comfortably through the skin too.
Aromatherapy unites a sound scientific perspective with the basic principles of Oriental Medicine — the world’s most highly-developed holistic healthcare system.
A practitioner selects the most appropriate essential oils for a wide range of ailments, together with minor conditions where no clearly-defined disease exists. Rather than focus solely on a client’s symptoms, the inherently holistic approach of Oriental Medicine concentrates on addressing the underlying imbalances at the root of any health problem.
