What you said.....

After many visits to the doctor and dermatologist, a good friend suggested I see an a medical herbalist who also offered aromatic massage. At the time my skin was very itchy and dry, the worst areas were over my shoulders, under my arms and my back. I would often wake up at night and find myself itching to the point that in the morning my skin was sore to touch. I was tired and exhausted from disturbed sleep. The aromatic massage not only allowed me to feel more relaxed but lubricated my skin. It would feel less tight and because I was not able to use any perfume or ordinary brands the smell of the oils was wonderful!

The teas which were prescribed were at first a little unusual to drink in that I have never tasted anything like them before. After a few cups I began to enjoy the taste and felt they were very refreshing after a busy day. I would recommend that if you have uncomfortable skin then herbal medicine and aromatic massage can help complement your treatment and allow you to feel better and more in control of you skin condition.

A friend gifted me a massage. I loved the soft, calming atmosphere and the oils used. The massage itself was deeply relaxing and enjoyable. Within a few days of the massage I felt very tired with a headache. This, I felt, was the result of a good therapeutic massage, toxins leaving the body. After that I felt really good.

I have attended for holistic massage and aromatic massage on numerous occasions. The consultations were very professional with both my physical and emotional well-being discussed at the time of consultation. We would discuss the chosen oils and the benefit of each one relating to my condition at the time. If I expressed that I felt low, a suitable oil would be suggested to lift my spirit and gently invogorate me. If I felt stressed I would be given oils to help calm me.

I have always benefited from Jeni's massage - she has powerful hands and is not afraid to give your body a thorough workout, paying particular attention to any area that is tight or needing gentle massage. I have always felt the benefit from the essential oils that have been used and their calming effect on the body and mind as well as from the massage itself. I always try to encourage my friends to try massage - it has tremendous healing qualities both physically and mentally.

I attended for massage at a time when I was relatively stressed-out and wanted something to give me a bit more energy and a "pick-me-up". A thorough consultation was conducted asking a lot of questions about my general health, state of mind and my eating and sleeping habits. I actually found this quite illuminating and learned quite a bit about myself.

The massage itself was  fantastic! I was completely relaxed and drifted off into another world. I think every part of my body was worked on. It was very thorough and very attentive to the parts that needed some work! Afterwards I took a wee while to "come round" but felt more relaxed and at peace than I have for many years. It was a wonderful feeling and lasted several days.The chosen oils complemented my mood and smelt heavenly. I took great benefit from the massage and my body felt great afterwards - I was energised and ready for the week ahead!

I have had a number of aromatic and holistic sessions and found them to be hugely beneficial. For me, they are a great way for loosening my joints and aiding better posture as well as giving me a great nights sleep afterwards.The oils were specially  tailored to meet my individual requiremements and promote the best possible therapeutic experience. It is important for me to know that my treatment is given by someone who has had extensive training and demonstrates a professional and sensitive approach to caring for the whole person.

If you have never had a massage before I would encourage you to try one. Once you have you will want to go back for more and with "Eglantine Herbs" you are in safe hands.
