Aromatherapy - The art of healing

Aromatherapy is a gentle healing art using massage and scented essential oils derived from aromatic plants and trees to relieve physical and psychological discomfort and to promote health of body and serenity of mind.

It is found to be most efficient when used to heal the whole person and not only a physical condition. It looks into the causes and the prevention of illness. Health problems are looked at in the context of a person's 'whole' life - mind, body and spirit need to be in a state of equilibrium with each other. If one aspect becomes unbalanced, it can lead to physical or mental illness. In many cases emotional disharmony can eventually manifest as physical illness.
Aromatherapy can help to redress the balance.

During the treatment the oils' chemistry, by its pharmacological action, affects the body and the scent of essential oils can have a powerful effect on the emotions. The effectiveness of the essential oils has been tried and tested over the centuries.

Aromatherapy is now widely accepted as a comprehensive complementary therapy by most healthcare professionals.

People of all ages and health states can use aromatherapy!

' The way to health is to have an aromatic bath and scented massage every day.'
