Aromatherapy Massage
Essential oils from plants are used during massage to affect the body systems (lymphatic, blood, immune) via the olfactory system (sense of smell). Phytotherapy involves using carefully selected plant oils, which can be helpful in healing physical, emotional, digestive, skin, respiratory, and muscular problems. Along with essential oils our pharmacopoeia includes marula and argon oils derived from fruits grown in parts of Africa, which provide vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids to the skin.
