Aromatherapy

Description

Aromatherapy is the natural science of healing with essential oils derived from herbs and botanicals. Aromatherapy may be administered through inhalation or skin application. Essential oils are inhaled via a diffusion process, which separates the oil at a molecular level and disperses it into the air. During inhalation, the oils are absorbed through the olfactory nerves and directly affect physical, emotional, and intellectual processes, as well as memory capacity. Essential oils can also be diluted and massaged into the skin, which enhances the body's natural healing process. During skin application, the oils are absorbed into the tissues and blood vessels, and pass through the various systems of the body.

During an aromatherapy session, clients receive an introduction to aromatherapy, custom blended Earthwerkes Aromatherapy oil, some light bodywork, and 20 minutes of meditative inhalation. Aromatherapy may also be administered in conjunction with massage therapy. Earthwerkes Aromatherapy oils are available for purchase in the retail area at Creative Wellness.
