Rest and relaxation is vital to good health but a stressful life can make it difficult to get enough R&R.
When stressed the sympathetic nervous system is activated and it puts the body into fight or flight mode causing blood circulation to be diverted from digestive and other regenerating systems in the body to the muscles for flight or fight. This is helpful if you are in the middle of crossing the road and suddenly see a truck bearing down on you! However ongoing stress means the body is chronically in a state of fight or flight and the other systems in the body don't have a chance to recuperate. 
The relaxed state induced by heavenly scents and massage activates the parasympathetic system, and so brings rest and recuperation. This can in itself be enough for the body's own immune system and healing abilities to kick in. An Aromatherapy treatment can be a perfect antidote to the stresses and strains of today.
AROMATIC HEAVEN
In addition the Essential Oils used in Aromatherapy are made up of chemical molecules with healing abilities.

Lavender is analgesic, antibacterial, antidepressive, antifungal, anti-fectious, anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic, antispasmodic, calmative, a mild cardiotonic, cholagogic, and cicatrisant. It eases nervous tension, frustration and irritaliblity, allays feelings of panic and hysteria, and instills calmness and composure. |
So an Aromatherapy treatment with a qualified Aromatherapist, who has studied these properties is much more than a pampering experience with heavenly smells. Essential Oils can also be used to promote health and well-being, physically, mentally and emotionally .
As a holistic health practitioner I take all these properties into account in selecting the right oils for each individual in their Aromatherapy treatment.
Essential Oils enter and exit the body leaving no toxins. The oils I use are certified 100% pure from reputable suppliers and are mostly organic. Combined with the therapeutic benefits of massage and acupressure they can be used to relieve many complaints and illnesses.
COMMON COMPLAINTS That Can Be Addressed With Regular Treatment With Essential Oils include: stress, anxiety, nervous conditions, digestive problems like IBS, constipation, stiff aching joints/muscles, arthritis, rheumatism, respiratory problems like Asthma, susceptibility to coughs and colds, catarrh, sinusitis, urinary problems, menstrual and menopausal problems, skin conditions like exzema, psoriasis, cellulite and TATT (Tired all the time).
At other times a more long term programme of treatments with oils selected especially for that individual and their particular complaint is needed.

SELECTION OF OILS
In addition to training in therapeutic remedies for treating common ailments I have trained in Chinese Medicine and the energetics of plants to select the best oils for a treatment. I also recently went to France to study Quantum Aromatherapy with Dr Daniel Penoel, a medical doctor who has been using Essential Oils successfully for over 30 years in his practice.
