What is aromatherapy and essential oils?

Aromatherapy dates back to Ancient Egypt, where plants and flowers were distilled to provide essential oils.  This tradition has been used worldwide, including during the second world war where French doctors applied essential oils to treat soldiers’ wounds.

These same essential oils are now used as part of an aromatherapy massage, enhancing the health boosting properties of massage with the therapeutic benefit of the oils used.  Each essential oil comes from either plants, roots, flowers, leaves or bark, and can contain up to one hundred different chemical components which can have a strong effect on the entire being.

The reason essential oils can have such an impact on your health and well being is due to their smell.  As humans we can distinguish up to 10,000 different smells, which enter the body via the fine hairs that line the nose, stimulating the limbic system in the brain that controls our moods, emotions, memory and learning.  Each essential oil has a different stimulating effect on the brain, such as lavender, which can increase relaxation due to the effect on alpha waves in the back of the head, or jasmine which raises beta waves producing the sensation of alertness.

What does an aromatherapy appointment involve?

Your aromatherapist will being by discussing your medical history and what you would like from the treatment.  This will enable them to decide on the best mix of oils for you and the best massage techniques to use. They may use a combination of different essential oils, producing a blend that suits your individual needs on the day.

Your treatment will be conducted on a therapy couch in our beautiful aromatherapy  massage rooms in the heart of Norwich.  Your therapist will use towels and blankets to cover you during your treatment, only uncovering a small portion of skin at a time as they work around your body.
