Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy combines therapeutic treatment with the use of essential oils

Essential oils:

• are extracted from the leaves, flowers, roots and stalks of plants, most commonly by steam distillation
• contain differing therapeutic properties and are easily absorbed through the skin
• restore balance and harmony, treating the person rather than a particular condition
• are blended individually each time, so provide a different treatment for each person
• may relax or stimulate, but above all, support the body

aims to:

• promote health
• enhance overall well-being
• relieve stress
• aid the regeneration & rejuvenation of the body
• provide a positive influence on emotional well-being
• provide a calming relaxing effect on mental health
• support those receiving palliative care
• relieve muscle ache & promote sleep when combined with massage
