How does Aromatherapy work?
Aromatherapy uses our sense of smell to create changes in our bodies and outlook. Scents can affect our moods instantly, and go directly to the more primitive part of the brain, which is why they can be so powerful. Certain oils are not considered safe and they are recommended only for use of each individual as any blend you get from a professional will be blended especially for you.

Aromatherapy in Pregnancy
Speak to a qualified aromatherapist with prenatal experience about what oils are safe to use in pregnancy and labour. Your skin can become more sensitive during pregnancy and while breast feeding so do take this into consideration an always complete a 24 hour patch test before rubbing it into your skin. Aromatherapy, when prescribed by a professional can be very efficient for:
Sickness and nausea
Fatigue
Depression
A ches and pains in your back
If you are overdue
During labour to stimulate contractions
