Aromatherapy - Gentle Touch
Sponsored links
When first confronted with the word Aromatherapy, one can be forgiven for thinking that this form of healing is exclusive to the sense of smell, and therefore only works on the emotional level.
This is not the case as each oils combination of constituents has the ability to interact directly with the body's chemistry, which in turn affects certain organs or systems as a whole. When used in massage, the oils are absorbed into the blood stream through the skin and are transported throughout the body and become a very effective and powerful healing tool for the practitioner.
