What is Aromatherapy?
A therapy using essential oils. Blending the oils to suit each individual and their needs at that time.
It is a silent language. A language that can conjure up memories, maybe of a first love, an endless summer day, a visit to a special friend, a loved one, a childhood memory long forgotten. These, and many more, can be evoked by our sense of smell and the aromas that produce these feelings.
This therapy is not just a therapy of nice smells, in the hands of skilled therapists it could well bring about healing and certainly a feeling of well being. A therapy using essential oils, to help promote well being, healing and prevention of disease. A therapy, which is creative, skilful and yet can be used by almost anyone in some way, there may be restrictions for some people.
Aromatherapy embraces our spiritual well being, a tender loving care which is the most powerful healing force of all, it helps to promote tranquillity, relaxation, joy, peace of mind, a feeling of uplifting and this is turn creates favourable conditions within the body and mind for healing to take place. It also strengthens the immune system; the body's defence system for prevention of disease and illness.
It takes a holistic approach to healing by considering the whole person and looking at emotional well being.
