 What is aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is a holistic therapy, taking account of the mind body and spirit of the individual seeking treatment. The holistic approach looks at treating the whole person rather than the symptoms of the illness or disease. 

A properly trained Aromatherapist will have a very good knowledge of the therapeutic properties of essential oils and their chemical properties along with a sound knowledge of the bodies systems and functions to perform effective massage.

Essential oils are often balancing in their effects, helping the body to retain a balanced state which in turn can help to avoid illness and disease.  Some examples of a lack of balance could be extremes of heat - fever or hyperthermia, high blood pressure or low blood pressure, over production or under production of a variety of hormones.
