AROMATHERAPY
AROMATHERAPY with AUDREY WILLSON, MAR
HOW IT COULD HELP YOU
Many people believe Aromatherapy is simply a soothing massage using lovely scents. But there is much more to it than that. Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of concentrated plant essences (essential oils) to relieve stress, enhance health and well-being, prevent problems and support the healing process.
Essential oils are highly fragrant, volatile (quickly evaporating) fluids that occur naturally in aromatic plants growing the world over. They can be distilled from flowers, leaves, seeds, roots, fruits and woods, depending on the plant. Essential oils that are commonly used in Aromatherapy include Lavender, Geranium, Bergamot, Frankcense and Rose.
Each Essential Oil has distinct therapeutic properties that can improve the body's natural functioning and so help to prevent disease. Enhancing the health of both mind and body, they have been shown through research to possess stimulant, anti-infectious, anti-inflammatory and relaxant properties, among many other things.
The ability of Essential oils to have a psychologically calming or uplifting effect is directly linked to the influence of their wonderful aromas - one that depends on the close relationship between smelling and the brain. During aromatherapy massage the aroma of the essential oils can calm the mind and relax the nervous system. Relaxed and refreshed, we are able to face life's challenges with a renewed sense of balance and confidence.
IS AROMATHERAPY SAFE FOR EVERYONE?
Essential Oils are naturally highly concentrated and must be diluted b efore being applied to the skin. They are very powerful and should always be used with care under the guidance of a professionally train Aromatherapist.
Aromatherapy can be of benefit to everyone. It can be used to help treat a wide range of disorders including
* Stress and Tension
* Headaches/Migraines
* Insomnia
* Backaches & Muscular Pain
Professional Aromatherapy is a safe complementary therapy for men and women, children and the elderly. It can also be helpful for those with chronic or serious conditions such as
* Arthritis
* Heart Disease
* Cancer
While it is not a replacement for orthodox heathcare, in professional hands Aromatherapy does not interfere with medical treatments and will actively support the body's own healing process. Each treatment is tailored to the individual person, a shorter treatment being given to the elderly, babies and children
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR FIRST TREATMENT
Combining the benefits of Essential Oils with those of therapeutic massage produces a pleasurable yet effect method of healing. Together they can enhance the circulation of blood and lymph, relax and tone tense, tired muscles and promote a sense of overall vitality.
Your first appointment will begin with a consultation when you will be asked about your general health, medical history and emotional wellbeing. This detail is necessary because each treatment is highly individual and designed to your own particular needs. All information will be held in the strictest confidence.
A blend of Essential Oils in an unique therapeutic combination tailored to your special requirements is made. During the massage, your privacy will be protected at all times - you will be completely covered with towels and only the area being worked on at the time will be uncovered. All you need to do is relax.
