Aromatherapy Massage

French scientist Rene-Maurice Gattefosse first coined the term aromatherapy in 1937 when he carried out research into essential oils and their healing qualities. However, aromatic essences were used for their health-giveing and mood-enhancing properties back in ancient times. Half a century ago carrier oils were used to dilute the essential oils and used in combination with massage. People were now being prescribed for the first time aromatherapy oils according to their physical and emotional needs. Aromatherapy was now a holistic therapy.

The oils come from the many different parts of citrus fruit. Chemically they are very complex and have a wide range of actions. Fragrances can be enhaled through the nose or absorbed through the skin.

Whne a client comes in for a consultation the aromatherapist will take a case history and choose one or more oils to meet the client's requirements. Oils will be usually be applied using massage.
