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 stages of illness and disease. At the same time, regular use of aromatherapy treatments and home-use products can help to strengthen the immune system, establishing a preventative approach to overall health. The aromatherapist considers a person’s medical history, emotional condition, general health and lifestyle before planning a course of treatment. The whole person is treated, not just the symptoms of an illness, and this is in direct opposition to the modern trend of just treating the presented condition.
