Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is the use of plant essential oils for therapeutic purposes. Essential oils have been used in fragrances, flavourings and medicines for thousands of years and there are around 400 different oils extracted from plants all over the world. Each oil has its own special therapeutic properties, and can be used or applied in a variety of ways, including:

• Body massage, with a blend of essential oils 
• Adding a few drops to warm bath water 
• Through steam inhalation or vaporisers
• In compresses

What to expect

I will begin with a full consultation, asking various questions about your health and lifestyle, to ensure the most suitable oils are used for you. This will enable me to select a small number of essential oils, appropriate to your individual needs, which will then be blended into a carrier oil and applied to your skin as part of the massage. The areas treated will come down to your personal preferences, but would typically be a full body massage with a focus on any areas of particular concern. At the end of the treatment, I may recommend that you use certain essential oils at home.
