The combination of soft tissue massage with blended essential oils to achieve relaxation for an overall increase in immune function.
One of the fundamentals of this therapy is the fact that the oils applied externally can affect the internal organs and tissues. Essential oils stimulate the formation of phagocytes, the white blood cells which gobble up invading bacteria. They also increase the fluidity of blood and lymph, thereby helping to eliminate residues of a colloidal nature. Essential oils are readily absorbed by the skin, making them ideal for skin problems, and many conditions that can be treated through the skin, like rheumatism, muscular aches, and varicose veins. |

Most of the stimulating effects of Rosemary oil take place via the nervous system, and the centre of nervous control – the brain itself.
