Aromatherapy means “treatment using scents”.

 

Aromatherapy is a form of massage that uses a blend of natural based oils. As a holistic medicine, Aromatherapy is both a preventative approach as well as an active treatment during acute and chronic stages of illness or disease.

 

It is a natural, non-invasive treatment designed to assist the body’s natural ability to balance, regulate, heal and maintain itself by the correct use of essential oils.

 

The basic elements of Aromatherapy are essential oils. Essential oils are defined as the essence of a plant and are strong and volatile in nature. Essential oils are usually too strong and to be used on their own and require a carrier oil made of vegetables, nuts or seeds.
