Aromatherapy

What is Aromatherapy?
 
Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils applied by a combination of therapeutic massage and Shiatsu techniques to provide relaxing or stimulating treatment to emotional or physical problems.

What Can Aromatherapy Treat?

Aromatherapy treats a wide range of emotional and physical problems; from depression and PMT to addiction and insomnia.

How Does it work?

Fragrance molecules reach the olfactory membrane, the only place where the central nervous system is in contact with the external environment, and ellicit a reaction from the limbic system. Neurotransmitters are released which create responses governing the functioning of sexuality, attraction and aversion, moods, memory and creativity.

Is it Safe?

The treatment itself is considered safe although as with all therapies certain contra-indications can exist. Therefore aromatherapy may not be suitable for all patients, Rosemary will, of course, advise you if this is the case and suggest other treatments.
