HOLISTIC HEALTH TREATMENTS

Aromatherapy is the skilled and controlled use of essential oils for physical and emotional health and well being.
Essential oils can only be produced in nature.  It is important to use genuine Essential Oils for the most therapeutic effect.  Essential Oils are individually combined (synergy) to best meet the needs of each individual client.
Effective Aromatherapy clinically blends specific Essential Oils and dilutes them in carefully chosen carrier oils which increase the therapeutic effects and detoxification.
Healing Harmonics uses only high quality carrier oils including: herbal infused sesame oil; organic castor oil; almond oil; coconut oil.
Essential Oils can be inhaled, used with a compress, in a foot soak, and through massage.  Some Essential Oil properties are, but not limited to, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-spasmodic, expectorant, sedating; & immune stimulating.
Aromatherapy sessions are individualized treatments in a combination of Essential Oils diluted in therapeutic carrier oils, applied topically or through inhalation.
