Aromatherapy is where volatile plant oils (essential oils) are used to affect a person's mood or health. Essential oils provide both psychological and physical benefits and can help to improve health and emotional well-being, restoring balance to the body. Each essential oil has its own unique aroma and therapeutic properties and your Aromatherapist will select the right oils for you based on an initial consultation. Essential oils are most effective when absorbed into the bloodstream through the skin so most Aromatherapists will apply them, diluted in a carrier oil through a relaxing full body massage.
