Aromatherapy Massage

Aromatherapy massage utilizes the therapeutic properties of essential oils. These are fragrant, highly condensed liquids extracted from plants.

The oils are selected according to their healing properties and unique character to suit individual needs at each session.

They work simultaneously on the psychological and physical levels.

As the scent molecules enter the limbic area of the brain via olfactory pathways, mood and emotional states can be influenced.

Whilst physically the oils penetrate the skin and enter the blood stream, where they can go to work!

Benefits of Aromatherapy Massage

The benefits of Aromatherapy are the same as for massage generally, however there are certain complaints particularly suited to treatment with essential oils these include:

• Inflammatory skin problems such as eczema
• Menstrual irregularities and P.M.S
• Stress related disorders like insomnia, headaches or anxiety
• Digestive problems like I.B.S, sluggish digestion or constipation
• Problems related to depleted immune function
