Aromatherapy en Funchal

what is aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy, as its name suggests, is the use of aromatic essences to treat certain ailments or to improve our general state of health. Therapists make a series of preparations with essential oils that are brought close to the olfactory organs of the clients, applied directly to specific areas of the body or absorbed through the skin by means of water baths that include these oily mixtures.

Benefits of aromatherapy

It is also common to use vaporisers, pindas, distilled herbs or infusions depending on the technique used and the purposes to be achieved, whether it is to induce a state of relaxation, improve mood, improve cognitive, psychological or physical abilities or simply create a pleasant atmosphere for the user. In general, aromatherapy is not considered to be a cure for ailments, but rather helps to prevent them through techniques that date back to ancient civilisations such as China, India, Egypt, Greece and Rome, where it is known that these essential oils were used to create cosmetics, perfumes and medicinal solutions.
