What is Aromatherapy?

The word ‘aroma’ means fragrance and ‘therapy’ means a treatment designed to bring about a positive change in an individual. Aromatherapy is the controlled use of essential oils by different methods to enhance physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being. It uses pure essences from plants, which may help with common ailments and complement conventional medical treatment in the healing process.

Often referred to as the ‘life force’ of plants, essential oils have a wide variety of therapeutic properties and research has shown they can be stimulating, anti-infectious, anti-inflammatory, relaxing, calming and uplifting.

The fragrance of essential oils affects our olfactory sense, sending a strong stimulus to the brain where it is analyzed and gives rise to a positive emotional response.

There are many ways essential oils can be used to positive effect outside of a massage. These include:

• Bathing
• Gels, lotions and creams
• Perfumes
• Compress
• Diffused into the atmosphere to create a mood

Safe use of essential oils

Essential oils are concentrated, volatile plant extracts that vary in strength due to their naturally occurring individual chemical components. They can enter your bloodstream and should therefore be diluted before being applied to the skin.
