Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy massage combines the highly effective therapeutic properties of essential oils with the relaxing therapeutic power of SAFE touch through NO HANDS ® Massage.
Aromatherapy has its roots in the ancient civilisations of Egypt, India, China, Greece and Rome, where perfumed oils were used to promote good health and a sense of well being.
Essential oils are found in different parts of plants: flowers, seeds, roots, leaves, stems, rind, sap, wood or bark. Often referred to as the ‘life force’ of plants, essential oils contain a wide variety of therapeutic properties which give them an affinity with specific body systems such as: digestion, reproduction, respiration and circulation.
Inhaling the fragrance of essential oils also affects our olfactory sense, sending a strong stimulus to the brain where it is analyzed and often gives rise to a positive emotional response.
Essential oils can also be used in the bath, in gels and lotions and for inhalation or to diffuse into the atmosphere to create a mood.
