Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the use of aromatic plant essences for healing the body and the mind. The knowledge of how to make use of these beneficial extracts has increased over time. History tells us that the Egyptians burned resins such as Frankincense in temples to clear the mind. The Romans used aromatic plants and essential oils both in the home and for massage.
Essential oils are extracted from a wide variety of plants and are very concentrated. Several oils can be combined to promote healing on different levels such as mental emotional and physical.
As well as being powerful, they are also very pleasant. They can be used for massage, bathing, inhalation and in a compress. Small quantities of the oils are absorbed through the skin and also through inhalation of the aroma.
When the oils are combined with the healing power of touch in a therapeutic massage, they may help aid stress and symptoms of illness or disease such as depression, insomnia, muscle tension, headaches and stiff or painful joints.
They may help to boost the immune system and promote a feeling of well being.
Whether you are coping with an illness or whether you just need some time to relax, unwind and de-stress, an aromatherapy massage is a most enjoyable treatment and oils are chosen to suit your particular needs. Some of their therapeutic values are:
Anti depressant
Anti inflammatory
Sedative
Anti rheumatic
Decongestant
Reflexology
Reflexology is an extremely relaxing form of natural healing. This ancient art of applying gentle pressure to reflex areas of the feet, hands, face and ears can bring about a state of balance and harmony, treating body, mind and spirit.
It is based on the principal that there are reflex zones in the feet which are linked by energy pathways to corresponding parts of the body. When pressure is applied to specific points on the feet, this stimulates the energy allowing it to flow and therefore balance the body systems.
Reflexology and all holistic treatments aim to treat the whole body and not just a symptom. Reflexology and Advanced Reflexology can help with:

Reiki
Reiki is the name given to a system of natural healing which evolved in Japan from the experience and dedication of Dr Mikao Usui (d. 1926). Dr Usui was inspired to develop this healing system from ancient teachings after many years of study, research and meditation. He spent the rest of his life practising and teaching Reiki.
Today Reiki continues to be taught by Reiki Masters who have trained in the tradition passed down from Master to student.
There is no belief system attached to Reiki so anyone can receive or learn to give a Reiki treatment. Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning Higher Power and Universal Life Force Energy, an energy which is all around us.
A Reiki treatment is a very simple process and can be given anywhere and at any time as no special equipment is needed. The client simply lies on a couch and relaxes, or if they are unable to lie down the treatment can be given in a sitting position. There is no need to remove any clothing as Reiki will pass through anything, even distance healing can be done. The practitioner gently places their hands non-intrusively in a sequence of positions which cover the whole body. The whole person is treated rather than specific symptoms. Reiki is beneficial in helping with stress reduction, it relaxes and promotes healing
Reiki can heal at any level of being: physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. Acute injuries can be helped to heal very quickly but more chronic illness takes longer. In some cases such as terminal illness, there is not enough time for the progress of the disease to be reversed. However, in such cases there is usually great benefit and enhancement of the quality of life giving a sense of peace and acceptance during the time remaining.
