Aromatherapy was introduced into the UK in the 1950s by Madame Marguerite Maury, but it has a traditional history that goes back to the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. Pure essential oils can be diluted in bathwater, used as a massage, inhaled, or used in an oil burner. Aromatherapy Therapists may also produce creams and lotions for topical application. Trained Aromatherapists can recommend the most suitable oils for your particular health needs and advise on the best form of application – some essential oils are very potent and should not be applied neat; in particular pregnant women should avoid some oils so professional advice is important. Essential oils work directly on the chemistry of the body and are suitable for people of all ages. Aromatherapy can be useful for a range of health conditions and is particularly useful for nervous disorders.
