aromatherapy

Aromatherapy, and the use of essential oils, is another way of treating holistically: taking into account the ‘whole person’ with the aim of bringing into balance ones physical, emotional and spiritual being.

Essential oils are extracted from plants: roots (ginger), seeds (carrot), leaves and branches (petit grain), flowers (rose), fruit (orange), even resin (frankincense).

Each essential oil has its own properties, indications and sometimes contra-indications, but all act as antiseptics. Applied by massage, they are quickly absorbed by the skin and act on our circulatory and lymphatic systems, as well as the body's energy.

It is wonderfully relaxing to experience an aromatherapy massage and the effects of it can be far reaching. It is aimed not only to offer temporary relief but, by working on the body’s energy system and while applying the carefully selected essential oils, it can relieve all kinds of symptoms.
