Essential oils are the life blood of the plant, they are what make the plants alive.
They contain anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and anti-microbial qualities as well as properties that boost immune health, calm the nervous system, fight infections, boost feel good hormones, and bring emotional, physical and spiritual renewal.

During your treatment essential oils are applied on different relflex points on the feet that will help align your body. Afterwards, oils are then dropped (like rain drops) onto your spine and feathered in, which is a relaxing, light touch. Massage techniques are then incorporated to relax the muscles and to help the oils to penetrate through to the spine, nerves and aching muscles.
