A favourite on the complementary therapy menu is Aromatherapy.  This treatment combines massage with essential oils derived from plants, flowers and trees. The aromas trigger a variety of chemical reactions within the body, including the release of specific chemicals which relax, calm or stimulate.

Aromatherapy massage is a gentle technique that stimulates the lymphatic system, which plays a vital role in our immune system. The lymphatic system relies on physical activity to keep it healthy, so during times of stress, anxiety, lack of exercise or bad diet it comes under pressure.

Swollen glands and tonsillitis are symptoms of an overloaded lymphatic system, but everyone can benefit from giving it a kickstart every now and again. Aside from all the health benefits it feels and smells amazing.
