How aromatherapy massage can help you & your family

Aromatherapy has many followers, in more recent time the French chemist – Rene Maurice Gattefosse, has been credited with the 're-discovery' of the value of plant extracts. But its use goes back 1000's of years to ancient civilisations.

More recently Robert Tisserand pushed Aromatherapy to the fore, and now there are many books, Aromatherapists and suppliers all able to help with many of today's ills, aches and pains, stress and of course the simple pleasure of relaxation. Nature always has a way of trying to heal, whether it's the body or the mind and Aromatherapy can certainly help. 

Aromatherapy can be used in many different ways, the most common and popular being aromatherapy massage, but you can also use essential oils in baths, or in a diffuser. This method uses a ring around a light bulb to which the oils are added and as they evaporate they are dispersed into the room or a similar arrangement using a special candle holder with bowl above. This has a the added benefit of relaxing by candle light. You can also use hot water to disperse the oils into the air by putting a few drops into a bowl of hot water, ideal for using on babies and young children with coughs and colds - do keep the hot water out of reach!
