Aromatherapy Consultation
What is Clinical Aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is a wonderful healthcare complement, supporting clients in achieving their physical, emotional, and psychological wellness goals. Emotions greatly affect our physical wellbeing and vice versa. In clinical aromatherapy, essential oils and hydrosols are blended according to the client’s need, to help bring back balance to the body systems affected.
Clinical applications include:
- Inhalation – direct inhalation of essential oils through a personal inhaler, steam, nebulizer, or diffuser. Inhalation applications are effective for physical and psychological support – such as stress management, respiratory support, neurological support, emotional support, etc.
- Topical – via massage, compress, bath, foot soak, body scrub, liniment, suppository or gargle. Topical applications are effective for physical and psychological support – muscles and joints, skin, reduce tension, uplift emotions, increase energy, reduce feelings of stress, etc.
How can I prepare for my consultation?
At the consultation you will be asked to provide medical information and history which includes current medications, herbs, and supplements you are currently taking along with the dosage. This information is important because there are essential oils that should not be used if you have certain medical conditions. Allergies and aroma preferences are also major considerations. Consultations may take anywhere from 30 mins to 45 mins.
