The beautiful, ancient art of aromatherapy combines the healing properties of aromatic plant essences ~ or essential oils ~ with massage, thus making good use of our sense of smell and touch.
   
Add gentle music and a pleasing decor and we also heighten our sense of hearing and sight. Blend some mood-enhancing aromas and apply with tender loving care, and we are nurtured physically, emotionally and mentally.

Scent has the power to evoke distant places and long-forgotten memories, and the perfume from a flower or herb can be instantly transporting.

  

  
It is important to bear in mind that aromatherapy, like other holistic therapies, works best when incorporated with a healthy diet and lifestyle.
   
By aiming to stimulate, rather than suppress the body’s natural defences, aromatherapy helps create favourable conditions in both body and mind for our self-healing ability to come to the fore.
  
However, you need not be ill to benefit from essential oils. Aromatherapy is a natural and pleasurable way to find tranquillity, restore vitality and enhance our aesthetic sense of harmony.
