Oriental Aromatherapy
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) focuses on understanding not only symptoms of ill health, but their relationship to deeper imbalances, and treating the disharmonies and the ‘root of’ symptoms, not just the symptoms themselves. It integrates the ancient theories of yin & yang, the five elements, or phases, and the concepts of Qi (also known as Chi, Ki, Prana, or universal energy). TCM is the most common form of acupuncture practiced in China, and the same concepts are applied in Oriental Aromatherapy.
Oriental Aromatherapy combines therapeutic massage with the diagnostic techniques of oriental medicine (TCM) and the aromatic energetics of essential oils. A detailed consultation is carried out including tongue, nail and other aids. This allows the underlying root cause of imbalances to be identified and addressed through advice on diet and lifestyle, and through the treatment itself.
The oils are blended according to their energetics and philosophy of oriental medicine to balance yin & yang (e.g. dryness and moisture, heat and cold, strength and weakness) to regulate Qi (energy), and balance the five elements, thus restoring harmony of the physical state (body), emotions (mind) and spirit (soul).
