What is aromatherapy? The healing properties of natural plant oils has been recognized for more than 6000 years. The sense of smell or olfactory system is incredibly powerful. Scientists know that the sense of smell can evoke emotions and memories they also know that it still does not have its full potential recognised. The essential oils are absorbed by the skin and work on both physical and emotional health. The oils have many different therapeutic properties. Citrus oils help to detoxify the system, some oils such as lavender have a sedative effect and others like rosemary have the ability to stimulate the nervous system or cause blood vessels to dilate, therefore improving circulation to specific areas. This relaxing massage can be a useful tool to help with every day stress, pain or to help you through a difficult period in life.
