Therapeutic Aromatherapy  Aromatherapy involves the use of volatile plant oils,  essential oils, for psychological and physical well-being. It is a natural, non-invasive treatment system designed to affect the whole person in mind, body and soul.  This treatment will assist the body's natural ability to relax, destress, regulate, heal and rebalance, using pure essential oils and a variety of massage techniques.  When used in massage, essential oils are not only inhaled, but absorbed through the skin as well. They penetrate the tissues and find their way into the bloodstream where they are transported to the organs and systems of the body. The properties of the oil, the fragrance and its effects, determine stimulation of these systems. Therapeutic Reflexology Modern reflexology is both a science and an art which provides deep relaxation, revitalised energy, stress relief, preventative healthcare and balance to the systems of the body. You will learn to activate the healing powers of the body using the long-established principle that there are energy zones that run throughout the body and reflex areas in the feet that correspond to all the major organs, glands and body parts.   Concentrate on reflex points on the feet corresponding to all areas of the body, working through the zones to ensure a state of equilibrium. The body is divided into 10 energy zones, called meridian lines, that run vertically, covering the entire body. The foot reflects the body, reflecting these zones in its components. Pressure applied to reflex points on the foot stimulates the energy lines, nerve endings and vascular flow to different parts of the body.  Disease has proven to be created by stress 80% of the time. Reflexology reduces stress in all parts of the body by generating deep, calm relaxation. By applying direct pressure to points on the feet or hands corresponding to stressed body areas, the tension is reduced and there is a resulting physiological change in the body.
