Aromatherapy

     The word aromatherapy means treatment using scents. It refers to the use of essential oils in holistic treatments to improve health and emotional well-being and restore balance to the body.
     In our search for ways of keeping fit and healthy without needing the use of synthetic drugs, aromatherapy oils offer the advantage of their complete naturalness and their general safety and simplicity of use.
     During the course of massage, essential oils will be absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream to affect the nervous system, as well as other parts of the body directly, by toning, sedating, or stimulating. Aromatherapy massage has a great deal of success in relieving stress related problems. Supported by a comforting and supportive relationship between patient and therapist, it can provide a vital key to breaking the stress cycles of anxiety, insomnia, and nervous fatigue, which underlies so many common physical complaints.
