HEALTH BATHS

Aromatic baths are one of the most important and versatile forms of treatment in aromatherapy.

Essential oils often have a balancing effect that assists the body to return from an imbalanced state, which leads to ill health, to an ideal state of health and well being.

The heat of the water aids absorption of the oil through the skin into the circulatory systems for the entire body, while the evaporated oil essence released in an aromatic vapor is breathed in.

The scent nerve cells are the only cells exposed directly to the outside world and connected directly to the brain.

The aroma alone can be subtle and have a real effect on the mind, and via the mind, the body.

In warm water the natural oils from flowers and plants help the skin to release toxins, absorb nutrients and retain moisture.

It may surprise you, but a small quantity of essential oils in an average bath is enough to create significant physiological effects enhancing your sense of well-being.

Consult a professional aromatherapist to ensure a holistic approach to your well-being program.
