Chinese Medical Aromatherapy
With the understanding that an essential oil captures the "essence of a plant," Chinese Medical Aromatherapy can be used to supplement Classical Acupuncture treatments.
Because the distillation process of aromatherapy captures the chemical components of each plant, there is a truly medicinal quality to aromatherapy--it is not just about smelling the roses! An essential oil is actually not an oil at all--it can be diluted, and put into a carrier oil--but the distillation process is much the same as in alcohol/spirits distillation. As such, essential oils are highly concentrated plant matter, each with specific Chinese Medical healing properties.
I blend individualized "essential oil prescriptions" to coordinate with diagnosis and Classical Acupuncture treatment, which provides continuity of treatment when working with the deeper levels, such as the Divergent Meridians or the Eight Extraordinary Vessels.
