Quick Questions
How can the oils be used?
There are several ways of using essential oils: by massage, bathing, hot or cold compress, inhalation or by vaporizing oils with the aid of an oil burner. Essential oils should never be taken orally and never put neat directly on to the skin. For massage, they should always be diluted in a carrier oil such as sweet almond oil.
What happens in a typical aromatherapy session?
The aromatherapist will ask about your medical history, general health, and lifestyle, to help decide which essential oils are most appropriate for you as an individual.
Can aromatherapy massage cure my condition?
Aromatherapy massage does not claim to cure. By inducing relaxation of both mind and body, it helps release the body's own healing potential and can be of benefit in conditions such as anxiety, stress-related problems, musculoskeletal difficulties, and symptoms of depression.
Can Aromatherapy do any harm?
Aromatherapy massage is extremely safe, but care must be taken selecting certain oils as they are potent substances. Always check your practitioner is a member of a professional organisation and fully insured.
How much does a treatment cost?
Prices vary depending on length of treatment, but the average cost is between £40–90 per session for 60–90 minutes.
How many treatments will I need?
This depends on the individual — in chronic conditions the full benefits may not be felt for four treatments, whilst others may see quite dramatic results over a few sessions.
Is aromatherapy an aid to stress management?
Yes. Aromatherapy can help support the immune system and encourage a more balanced lifestyle, which may reduce that run-down feeling and help people cope better with stress.
What is the difference between a spa massage and an aromatherapy massage?
Aromatherapy massage is a more individual treatment: oils are blended specifically for the client's emotional, physical, and mental needs, rather than using pre-blended routine spa products.
What are the differences between essential oils and fragrance oils?
Essential oils are aromatic, volatile substances extracted from a single botanical source; fragrance oils are synthetically made, standardised products and are not suitable for aromatherapy practice.
