What happens during Aromatherapy?
If you decide to visit an aromatherapist, you will first have a detailed consultation. Your aromatherapist will ask you questions about your medical history, diet, lifestyle and health problems. You can also ask any questions you might have. Remember, it’s important to talk to your GP first to get a diagnosis before having aromatherapy. This is to ensure that aromatherapy is an appropriate treatment for you. Aromatherapists cannot make a medical diagnosis as they are not trained to do so. However, they may be able to advise you on a course of aromatherapy treatment.
Your aromatherapist may recommend a single oil or a blend of two or three. They’re likely to give you a massage using essential oils that have been diluted in a carrier oil. A carrier oil is usually extracted from vegetables, nuts or seeds.
One session of aromatherapy should last around one hour. You might find that one session is enough or you may decide to continue with regular treatments. A full series of treatments might include around 10 sessions of aromatherapy. Ask your aromatherapist for more information about how long your treatment may last.
