Aromatherapy is a modern name given to an ancient form of healing using natural essential oils. Well documented from the Roman times essential oils have long been used for the treatment and prevention of illness and disease.

Whilst best known as a massage treatment, Aromatherapy can take many forms including direct application, inhalation, bathing, hot poultices and cold compresses.

When seeing a patient for the first time the aromatherapist will take a full medical history, ask about work, leisure and social activities. This information will be considered when choosing which aromatherapy oil to be used and what method of application is best.

The most common form of treatment is to apply the oils to the body by massage, although they can be used in creams or lotions, baths, compresses or by inhalation. A full body massage will take approximately one hour, and the aromatherapist will supply all equipment and oils needed to carry out treatment.

Clinical Aromatherapists have undergone training of the highest standard. These professional level courses are normally of 12 months duration and include studying anatomy and physiology as well as essential oils and their application. Practitioners will have studied several massage systems including Remedial or Swedish Massage as well as the traditional Aromatherapy Massage.

Clinical Aromatherapists are able to prescribe and dispense essential oils for the treatment of medical conditions, to use as a stand alone treatment or to compliment conventional forms of treatment.

Aromatherapy, although very popular for relaxation, can be used to treat and prevent a vast array of conditions from A to Z, including anxiety, arthritis, burns, digestive problems, eczema, fungal infection, muscular aches and pains, nausea and PMT.
