Aromatherapy & Acupressure

Aromatherapy is a form of complementary and alternative medicine. Aromatherapy stimulates the nervous system. Aromatherapy uses natural plant extracts, such as essential oils, hydrosols, and carrier oils, to heal the body, mind, and spirit. The promotion and harmonization of emotional, physical, and spiritual health through the application of these extracts helps to manage symptoms of anxiety, stress, insomnia, headaches, sore joints, and digestion. 

 Acupressure is an Asian bodywork technique that uses pressure on specific points along the body's meridians. The goal is to restore balance to the body’s energy channels.  Meridians are the channels that carry Qi (energy), and blood throughout the body.  They run through the fascia/connective tissue and play an important role in health. 

When a Meridian is blocked, it can disrupt the flow of energy, potentially causing pain, imbalance of organ function, aches, stiffness, or fatigue.  Acupressure therapy is often chosen as a complementary treatment to alleviate pain, reduce stress, nausea, migraines, improve sleep, anxiety, arthritis, and depression.
