Aromatherapy – the study of essential oils, their chemistry and their benefits

Aromatherapy is a holistic therapy that treats mind, body and spirit. Essential oils used in the practice of Aromatherapy are for the treatment of a number of different ailments or conditions and act both physically and mentally.  Essential oils act slowly and should be used in conjunction with good nutrition and gentle exercise.  Essential oils, to varying degrees tend to have anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-biotic, anti-inflammatory and anti-septic properties. These oils work through the olfactory nerve (inhalation) and skin absorption. Essential oils are carried through the circulatory system to all the organs and elimination system. Each organ takes only the components it needs from the essential oils and the balance is discarded. As well as being sweet smells, essential oils are also concentrated natural chemicals. The oils are volatile (evaporating readily as their molecules form a gaseous vapour when released into the air) and consist of powerful constituents. They should only be used in small amounts and with care and knowledge.

Aroma means smell and therapy means a treatment designed to cure. The aim of an Aromatherapy massage is to aid oil penetration, relax the body, improve the circulatory and lymphatic system as well as stimulate reflex areas and meridians. Through this improved blood supply, nerve impulses are unblocked, stress and tension are relieved and toxic wastes are flushed out. The body achieves homeostasis and can then use its natural healing potential.

Massage Techniques



Including full body massage, back massage, Indian head and shoulders massage, hot stone massage

Massage is the oldest form of the healing arts. There are various professional massage treatments such as Aromatherapy, Reflexology, Shiatsu and Swedish massage. A massage is soothing, relaxing, stimulating, warming, refreshing and healing. Massaging is neither difficult nor complicated and each person will develop a style unique to them. Giving a treatment should be equally as enjoyable as receiving one. Comfort and tranquil surroundings are important. 

Head massage is commonplace in India – techniques having been passed through generations for thousands of years.  This type of massage has been featured in the earliest Ayurvedic texts which date back thousands of years.

Indian women, who have always been renowned for their long, luxuriant hair, developed the art of head massage.  Together with selected oils, the techniques became part of a beauty treatment.  The art of head massage was designed to stimulate and refresh.
Indian infants often rceive a massage from birth until they are 3 years old to keep them in good health.  From an early age, they are taught to share massage with family members.  Massage occurs across generations as an integral part of family life.

In India today, whether as a tourist or a resident, it is quite common to be offered a head massage on street corners, in the market place or even on the beach fronts.
