Aromatherapy - Body Massage & Facial Treatments
Aromatherapy is a powerful and enjoyable holistic therapy which speaks to you at the level of mind, body and spirit. The word Aromatherapy was first used in the twentieth century, but the use of aromatic oils in massage and to scent and change the mood of a room can be traced back to the Ancient Egyptians, who used essential oils and plant extracts in cosmetics and to send the spirit to the other world. The Greeks and Romans used oils in their luxurious bathing routines and the Bible mentions the use of plants and essential oils for the treatment of illnesses as well as for their use in religious rituals.Modern Aromatherapy was born when a French pharmacist burned himself and reached for a bottle of lavender oil to soothe the burn. It healed well without scarring, and this led him to research further into the use of essential oils in healing. Another French person, Marguerite Maury, brought Aromatherapy to Britain and developed and promoted its use in massage and treatments for the skin.
Aromatherapy Body Massage works on the soft tissues of the body to help the nervous, muscular and respiratory systems to function at their optimum level. Your massage session will focus on relaxing areas of tension trapped within the muscles and connective tissues. Aromatherapy massage also improves the general circulation of blood and lymph, assisting the body in detoxing and cleansing itself. Combined with Aromatherapy, massage techniques are enhanced both by the effect of the essential oils on the physical body and the work that they do at a mental and emotional level.
The benefits of Aromatherapy Body Massage include:
For your Aromatherapy Body or Facial Massage session, essential oils will be chosen and blended freshly for you into a carrier suited to your needs. You will have the opportunity to smell your oils and express your feelings about them before they are blended. Your oil blend will be truly personal and will both express you and help heal you at every level.
Aromatherapy is useful for a huge range of conditions and a full consultation about your current needs and any prior or ongoing conditions will enable the best and safest oil blend to be created for you.
Aromatherapy Facial Treatment is good for mature skin, teenage problem skin and dry or sensitive skin. It helps tired skin and will restore freshness and colour to your complexion, whatever your age or skin type.
