VTCT/ITEC DIPLOMA IN AROMATHERAPY, SUSSEX

Aromatherapy is the use of volatile plant oils called essential oils for the treatment or prevention of disease. It is a form of complementary therapy designed to treat the whole person and not just the symptom or disease by assisting the body’s natural ability to balance, regulate, heal, and maintain itself.

Essential oils consist of tiny aromatic molecules that are readily absorbed via the skin and inhaled via the nose. Each Essential oil has many therapeutic properties. These therapeutic constituents enter the bloodstream and are carried around the body to deliver their beneficial healing powers.

One can trace its roots to Traditional Chinese medicine, and evidence exists that it was also practised in Ancient Egypt. Today, aromatherapy is one of the most popular of all complementary therapies, offering a wide range of highly effective treatments to both the acute and chronic illness and disease stages.

It is considered a truly holistic therapy as an Aromatherapist will consider each aspect of their health and well being and blend a unique bespoke blend for every treatment.
