The use of essential oils dates back as far as 2600BC. The necessary essential oils required for the client's needs, whether aiming at physical, physiological or psychological needs would be chosen from the information gained in the consultation. Inhalation - Breathing in the oils directly into the olfactory system. Vaporisation - dissolving the essential oils into the atmosphere to be breathed in and absorbed directly into the olfactory system. Massage - Specific movements that usually involve effleurage, lymph drainage and pressure point movements. By Compress - Apply the oils via a gauze pad directly to area. In the bath - Bathing in oils leads to absorption through the skin and inhalation with direct access to the olfactory system. Aromatherapy treatments are preceded by a thorough consultation to establish appropriate blend of oils and then usually a massage lasting between 60 and 90 minutes.
