Aroma Therapy

Sheeba uses aromatherapy for her clients as and when required, to address specific health concerns. Aromatherapy is the use of medicinal or therapeutic grade plant essences that can be inhaled, applied, diffused or even ingested. Aromatherapy can be used to access brain areas and the emotional centres of the brain — creating balance and harmony of body and mind.

Essential oils can be a great adjunct tool to hasten healing as they do not require digestive absorption and results are almost immediate. They possess anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-viral and detoxification properties that are a powerful aid to healing and promote the feeling of well-being. They decrease stress and assist in better quality sleep, reduce pain and improve circulation, digestion and immune function.

Essential Oils

Oils are the most basic and essential form of aromatherapy. How to use the different types of oils is important, as is exactly where the oil needs to be used on the body. Some oils also have multiple medicinal uses. Some popular and most accessible essential oils are peppermint, eucalyptus, lavender, tea tree and lemon. Essential oil is the pure essence or extract from a plant and directly derived from nature.

For example, peppermint oil can settle the stomach, focus the mind and refresh your senses, providing cooling and calming effects. Eucalyptus oil can soothe migraines and headaches, reduce fevers and treat respiratory issues. Here Sheeba makes a difference as she comes with a lot of experience and deep knowledge in this area and usually administers this for her clients to achieve total wellness.

How to use?

Aromatherapy's main uses are for health, anti-aging and beauty. Essential oils can be massaged into the body, inhaled through the air or diffused into cosmetic products. Drops of these oils are often added to air diffusers and steamers for easy inhalation. Add essential oils to cream- or oil-based products, like lotions and shampoos, or bathe with drops of an oil in the water.

Where and how to purchase?

Most essential oils are commonly found online through aromatherapy websites. Since essential oils are very potent and needed in small amounts, it is best to consult a therapist like Sheeba who can make a real difference. Organically grown oils are best to use because they are void of any pesticide or preservative residue. Please consult an aromatherapy expert at all times before use.
