How are the oils absorbed?
The tiny aromatic molecules the essential oils contain are readily absorbed via the skin, and whilst breathing they enter the lungs. They next enter the bloodstream and are carried around the body where they can deliver their beneficial healing powers. Essential oils can be added to the bath, massaged into the skin, inhaled directly or diffused to scent the whole room. When inhaled, they work on the brain and nervous system through stimulation of the olfactory nerves.

What does the treatment consist of?
Aromatherapy can take many forms, but one of the main reasons for consulting a practitioner, is to embark on a course of massage treatments. Length of treatments can vary greatly depending on the area or the problem that is to be treated. Although just one treatment can relax you and make you feel good, it is often advisable for you to complete a short course of treatments or to consider a regular treatment plan. This can be discussed at your initial visit.
