AromaTouch Treatment

The AromaTouch Technique® involves the application of therapeutic grade essential oils to the spine and feet to elicit a relaxing and calming response. This treatment combines the benefits of touch with the power of essential oils to create an overall wellness experience.

An AromaTouch treatment is all about creating healing, connection and balance.

There are eight essential oils used in the AromaTouch Technique®. They are chosen for their individual and combined healing properties.

  • Balance Blend

  • Lavender

  • Tea Tree (Melaleuca)

  • On Guard Blend

  • AromaTouch Blend

  • Deep Blue Blend

  • Wild Orange

  • Peppermint

These oils are applied in this sequence to the spine, ears and soles of the feet, using a light, therapeutic touch. Soft touch activates the release of oxytocin (also referred to as the “love hormone”), which has tension-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects on the body and mind.

The smell receptors located on the upper surface of the nasal cavity make direct links with the limbic system of the brain, an area that governs the body’s emotional responses. This close connection between aroma and emotion becomes obvious in our everyday life as certain odours trigger memories or specific feelings.

Our body and minds are burdened by stress and toxins during day-to-day life. This can leave you in a state of imbalance, or dyshomeostasis. AromaTouch addresses the root causes of imbalance, including: inflammation, stress, increased toxin load and autonomic nervous system overload.

 

This therapeutic treatment can help your body to function more optimally by returning to homeostasis.

Our sense of smell is the frontline modality by which we experience the world around us, however, we underestimate its significance. Research has shown that activating your olfactory system can relax you, down-regulate your nervous system and help create positive memories. Aroma is an important component of the AromaTouch Technique® because it’s powerful healing capabilities. Even though you may not directly smell each individual oil during the treatment, you are getting all of the benefits by breathing in the scent molecules.

Balance blend and Lavender are the first two oils used because they bring a sense of calm and presence to your mind and body. You receive the benefits of the oils aromatically - through breathing, and topically - as they’re applied to your back and ears.

Tea Tree and On Guard blends aid in proper immune system functioning and are strongly anti-viral and anti-bacterial. Whether you need to increase or decrease the immune response, these oils are key to help with inflammation and fight infection.

AromaTouch blend and Deep Blue blends are soothing and rejuvenating to the muscles, circulatory and lymphatic system. When things are moving better, you feel better.

Wild Orange and Peppermint oils are used on the feet and the spine. Both of these oils are great to aid in digestion and are energetically invigorating.
