Feeling stressed, run down or experiencing poor circulation? Suffering from respiratory problems, skin disorders or immune deficiencies? For those ‘in the know’, relief could be at hand as easily as using a few drops of your favourite oils.

Aromatherapy is a unique branch of herbal medicine that involves the therapeutic use of natural plant extracts called essential oils. The word is derived from aroma, meaning fragrance or smell, and therapy, which means treatment. When used in massage, compresses and bathing, essential oils are absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream. Massage also has a powerful healing and rejuvenating effect on the body and can be either a very invigorating or deeply relaxing experience. Psychological and physical benefits can also be gained when essential oils are inhaled into the lungs; the molecules arouse scent receptors in the brain that influence heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels and hormone balance.
 
Aromatherapy is one of the fastest growing, most widely used holistic therapies in the world, and its aim is to produce a physical, emotional, spiritual and mental sense of well-being. This course will enable you to successfully master the broad techniques and, once you have training and experience, you increase your prospects of starting your own business.
