Aromatherapy is the evidence based, therapeutic use of essential oils to treat, influence or modify the mind, body and spirit by aromatherapists (professionally qualified therapists) to promote health and wellbeing.
Based on the needs of the individual a range of applications are employed by an aromatherapist including inhalation, diluted topical use and massage.
Essential oils have been used medicinally for hundreds of years and are selected for an individual based on their traditional use, clinical experience and from the results of modern scientific evaluation.
