Aromatherapy
"Aromatherapy is the systematic use of essential oils in
holistic treatments to improve physical and emotional well-being.
Essential
oils, extracted from plants, possess distinctive therapeutic properties,
which can be utilised to improve health and prevent disease."

Most commonly the treatment involves the application of blended essential
oils in a massage of the body. However,
the essential oils can also be applied through inhalations, baths,
creams and lotions.
Facial treatments are also available and usually include cleansing,
exfoliation, facial massage using acupressure points and a clay mask
with essential oils, followed by the application of a freshly made
moisturising cream.
