Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy-Helen Buckley, Amanda Keppy

Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine that uses volatile plant materials, known as essential oils, and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of altering a person’s mood, cognitive function or health. Three techniques are offered.  With the Raindrop Technique essential oils are dropped like “raindrops” along the spine.  This helps to relieve muscular tension and stress in the body as it also energizes, detoxifies and balances electrical frequency of the body. Emotional Release Technique involves the step by step application of many oils for the purpose of unlocking emotional traumas that may have been stored in cellular memory for years.  Neuro-Auricular Technique applies oils directly to the spinal column and occipital ridge to help replace nerve functions from the brain to the spinal cord and all organs and tissues.  It helps alleviate back pain and sciatica as well.   The effectiveness of aromatherapy is yet to be scientifically proven, however some evidence exists that essential oils may have therapeutic potential.
