Traditional Holistic Aromatherapy by Correspondence
Traditional Holistic is defined a both an Art and the Science of utilizing natural distilled extracts from aromatic plants to heal the body, mind, emotions and spirit. Massage, inhalation and baths containing essential oils are used to transport the essences throughout the body to effect organ functions including sedation, stimulation and digestive aids. Holistic Aromatherapists also seek to explore the psychological and spiritual aspects of an individual’s response to aromatic extracts and enhance the innate healing process. As an holistic therapy is both a preventative approach to well-being and an active treatment during acute and chronic stages of illness or ‘dis’ease.
