A basic principle of Aromatherapy is to strengthen the self-healing processes by indirect stimulation of the immune system. Inhalation of essential oil molecules through the nasal passages, stimulate the olfactory nerve which in turn sends messages directly into the limbic system part of the brain. The limbic system controls emotions and influences the nervous, endocrine and immune system. Therefore when stimulated, physiological responses such as: heart rate, stress levels, blood pressure, breathing, memory, digestion and the immune system may be stimulated or sedated, to facilitate homeostasis.

Essential oils are also believed to be absorbed through the skin, with different oils providing therapeutic properties. The results of Aromatherapy are very individual. While there is general agreement about the actions of certain oils, Aromatherapy texts may vary in their descriptions of the properties and characteristics of an essential oil.

In addition, no two people are affected by the same essential oil in exactly the same way. Even the same person can be affected differently by the same oil depending on surroundings, time of day or mood.

Pure essential oils are extracted from many parts of the plant including the flower, leaf, resin, bark, root, twig, seed, berry, rind and rhizome.

A unique blend of essential oils is used for each client in accordance with their needs that are established in a consultation before the treatment begins.

Aromatherapy massage is particularly suited to conditions involving stress or improving emotionally-related conditions such as: insomnia, headaches, digestive disorders, back pain and premenstrual syndrome.

Aromatherapy and chakra balance massage encompasses acupressure and deep tissue techniques, whilst using a blend of aromatherapy oils (tailored to the individual) to restore and revitalise the client at a cellular level. Deep breathing is also encouraged to help release tension within certain parts of the body.

Aromatherapy and chakra balancing massage is a complete body-mind-spirit therapy that is at once, stimulating, deeply relaxing and rejuvenating. 

Chakras are seven subtle energy centres in the body located from the base of the spine to the top of the head that affect our equilibrium and inner harmony on emotional, physical and spiritual levels. Aromatherapy and chakra balance massage helps to align the chakras to encourage and restore clarity, trust, energy and integration between physical, mental and spiritual self.
