Pregnancy Aromatherapy

 

Aromatherapy is a specialised branch of herbal medicine that uses the concentrated essence of plants for therapeutic purposes. Essential oils are extracted from various parts of plants such as flowers, leaves, bark, and roots, and possess pharmacologically active compounds that can produce physiological and psychological effects. These natural compounds have been shown to influence the nervous system, endocrine system, and immune response, contributing to both physical and emotional well-being.

​

For clients receiving pregnancy treatments, aromatherapy is available when clinically appropriate. I create a personalised blend of essential oils based on your specific needs and health profile, ensuring that the therapeutic benefits of each oil are maximised to provide targeted support for a range of pregnancy-related health concerns.

​

Aromatherapy is shown to help:

• Encourage physical and mental relaxation

• Reduce stress, anxiety and tension

• Aid rest and sleep

• Soothe physical discomforts like carpal tunnel, backache, sciatica and pelvic girdle pain
