What is Aromatherapy and how could it help you?
Aromatherapy is the careful and calculated selection, blending and application of essential oils to meet an individual’s needs and help address physical and emotional symptoms, usually through massage and/or inhalation.
A pleasant fragrance is a therapy in itself because of its profound effects - calming the nervous system and, in doing so, reducing pain and stress. By combining a gorgeous aroma with the nurturing bodywork of massage, the body, mind and spirit are offered the welcome chance to rest, let go, recharge and refresh.
In this way, aromatherapy can be effective in treating a wide range
of disorders mostly associated with stress and tension, such as
headaches, insomnia, digestive problems, back
aches and muscular pain anywhere in the
body. Professional aromatherapy is a safe complementary therapy for
people of all ages and can give gentle relief for those
with chronic or serious conditions such as arthritis, heart disease
and cancer, without side effects.
Essential oils are made in the leaves of aromatic
plants and then stored in a variety of places - in the flowers,
leaves, fruit, seeds, roots or wood, depending on the plant. The
essence of the plant, the essential oil, is then extracted in
different ways and each has its own unique chemistry and character.
This chemistry and character can calm, uplift, detoxify, de-stress
and invigorate.
Uniquely, my tutor, Gabriel Mojay, discussed each essential oil in
terms of its therapeutic affinity for specific bodily organs and
their corresponding Meridians of vital energy as well as its
ability to promote balance and yin-yang equilibrium.
Gabriel’s attractive and informative book, “Aromatherapy for
Healing the Spirit, Restoring Mental and Emotional Balance with
Aromatherapy,” describes this
approach beautifully. It has been found that a subtle shift in
mental and emotional balance can have a profound effect physically
and essential oils work wonderfully at this deep level.
Because essential oils are so concentrated, they must always be diluted to be applied to the skin safely; for this, a carrier is used, often with its own healing for certain conditions. All my essential and carrier oils are either organic or wild crafted to ensure their premium quality and effect.
I match the unique healing properties of essential and carrier
oils, to meet your specific requirements.
