Aromatherapy & Reflexology
Harness the healing power of essential oils and reflex points
Benefits of Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy doesn't just smell good — it can also benefit you in many ways. Some benefits more commonly known include Stress Relief, confidence building, treating burns, and pain relief. It also has many cosmetic benefits such as stopping hair fall, skin care, and reducing under-eye circles.
1. The Power of Smell
The sense of smell is the most powerful — the body can distinguish around 10,000 different scents. As scents are inhaled, they travel across the olfactory nerves into the Limbic System of the brain, which controls moods, memories, and learning. When stimulated, it releases endorphins and other feel-good chemicals.
2. Topical Application
Aromatherapy also works by absorbing essential oils into the skin and bloodstream. One advantage of topical application of diluted essential oils is that they can go directly to the spot where you need them most. It is a great way to reap the benefits along with the soothing therapeutic benefits of massage.
If you have an aching muscle or a nasty bruise, a little essential oil goes a long way to working its magic healing!

What is Reflexology?
Reflexology has a "rich history." According to many, it dates back to Ancient Egypt or China. According to Mosby's Medical Dictionary 8th edition, Reflexology is a body work technique that uses reflex points on the hands and feet. Pressure is applied at points that correspond to various body parts with the intention of eliminating blockages to produce pain or disease. The goal is to bring the body into balance.
In years past reflexology was called: reflex-o-therapy, zone therapy, and meridian therapy.
The theory behind reflexology can be simply stated as the principle of a "reflex-arc." When pressure or stimulation is applied to a reflex point area, a message is sent from that point to the brain which in turn produces an endorphin release — a "cause and effect" response.
Please Note: Reflexology is not intended to replace standard medical treatment. It is advised that you check with your Medical Advisor before starting any new treatment(s).
