What is Aromatherapy?
This course
offers full clinical and Holistic Aromatherapy,
incorporating full dispensing skills.
Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils distilled
from plants to promote a well balanced and healthy
lifestyle. Massage, bathing, vaporisation and inhalation
are the usual methods of use.
Essential oils are used by Aromatherapists generally in massage. Essential
oils are blended with a carrier oil to
create a mixture which can be used directly on the body. The blend will depend
of the clients needs and
condition. Often their use is also recommended for bathing and burning in a
water solution over a candle to
clean and purify the air and to effect improvements in a persons breathing
and general well being.
If essential oils are used in skin and body care, carrier oils can also be
moisturising, nourishing and protecting. |
