aromatherapy
Since time began, aromatic plants have been used in various ways to perfume and to heal. They have taken many forms such as infused oils, extracts and distilled oils. The practice of aromatherapy uses natural plant extracts, such as essential oils, hydrosols, and carrier oils, in a variety of ways to heal the body, mind and spirit. It is the promotion and harmonisation of emotional, physical and spiritual health through the application of these extracts. Aromatherapy is described as both an art and a science because it takes the knowledge of the scientific aspects of the plants and oils and combines it with the art of producing a beneficial blend. Aromatherapy can be used topically and via inhalation.

Indian Head Massage
Also known as Champissage, it has been practiced in India for thousands of years. It was originally used by women as a daily grooming ritual.
Massaging the shoulders, neck, scalp and face improves circulation and stimulates the hair follicles. It is also perceived to ease headaches, relieve sinus congestion and ease eyestrain. It leaves you feeling revived and relaxed.

Reflexology
A holistic approach is practiced, intuitively treating the physical, mental and emotional levels of the body. The aim is to return the body to its harmonious state of well-being.
Reflexology is the study of foot reflexes ('pressure points') that in turn correspond to every part of our body. By applying pressure to these reflexes using specific thumb techniques, the body undergoes a physiological change which stimulates the body's own healing process. This process helps the body regain its natural state of equilibrium. Reflexology is particularly beneficial during pregnancy and childbirth.

What Are Essential Oils?
If you have ever enjoyed the scent of a rose, you’ve experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils. These naturally occurring, volatile aromatic compounds are found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. Essential oils provide plants with protection against environmental threats and play a role in plant pollination. In addition to their intrinsic benefits to plants and being beautifully fragrant to people, essential oils have long been used for food preparation, beauty treatment, and health-care practices.
How Do I Use Essential Oils?
Essential oils are used for a very wide range of emotional and physical wellness applications. They can be used a single oil at a time or in complex blends in one of three methods:
Aromatic
Certain essential oils, when diffused, can be very stimulating, while others can be calming and soothing. Diffusing essential oils can also cleanse and purify the air of unwanted odours.
Topical
Essential oils are easily absorbed by the skin and can be safely applied topically.
Internal
Certain essential oils have a rich culinary history and can be used as dietary supplements for targeted wellness.
Essential oils are both exciting and promising when it comes to taking care of your own and your family’s health. Whether you’re applying essential oils topically, enjoying the aromatic benefits through diffusing, or taking essential oils internally, the positive effects of essential oils are boundless.
That’s why you’ll want to ensure that the essential oils you are using are capable of delivering on their promise. You’ll want to make sure that you are choosing essential oils for their potency and their purity.
