Woodside Healing - Aromatherapy

What is AROMATHERAPY?

Aromatherapy is the enhancement of the body, mind and spirit using the essences of flowers, herbs, fruits and seeds (essential oils). Through a relaxing, healing massage, the therapeutic properties of essential oils encourage healing on a physical, mental and emotional level.

What are the benefits of Aromatherapy Massage?

Aromatherapy combines the soothing, healing touch of massage with the therapeutic properties of essential oils. This benefits the whole person, having a profound effect on the mind, body and emotions. In treating the body as a whole unit, the full body massage is one of the most luxurious therapeutic treatments available today. Aromatherapy is particularly good for stress-related problems, muscular and rheumatic aches and pains, digestive disorders, menstrual and menopausal complaints, anxiety, insomnia, and depression. It also helps improve circulation, eliminate toxins, and improve lymphatic drainage.

Essential oils are gentle, yet powerful healers on the physical level. They are emollient, softening, healing, nourishing and rejuvenating to the skin. When properly blended, they can have a positive effect on just about any physical condition.

On the mental, emotional and physical levels, we depend on the first sense developed in the baby; the sense of smell. When we choose the appropriate oils for the circumstance at hand, we can positively affect any emotional, mental or spiritual concern.
