Description

What is Aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is the therapeutic application of fantastically fragrant essential oils, extracted from aromatic medicinal plants, in ways that will help your body and mind to rebalance and feel refreshed. Smelling the oils triggers a series of chemical responses from the brain, which may be experienced as a change in mood. Some essential oils thus appear to stimulate and enliven us, while others are more sedative and soothing. Essential oils contain substances which are believed to act as hormones in the plants from which they are extracted. Essential oils are highly concentrated and are therefore blended with a carrier medium, such as a vegetable oil for use in aromatherapy massage.
< BR>In contrast with the gentle full-body massage routines traditionally associated with aromatherapy treatment, SB Holistic uniquely employs aromatherapy in conjunction with holistic therapeutic massage, deep tissue massage and holistic sports and remedial massage, to meet your needs.

If you are not keen on massage, but would still like to experience the restorative benefits of aromatherapy, then you may prefer a non-massage aromatherapy consultation. This is an hour-length appointment, in which the therapist conducts an in-depth assessment of your needs and provides aromatherapy products for you to use at home. A bespoke aromatherapy prescription is formulated for you and your products are freshly prepared while you wait. A wide range of products are available, including massage/bath oil, foam bath, cream, lotion, gel, skin toner and local wash mixtures. Your therapist will discuss the most suitable products for you to use.
