What is Acuromatherapy?
Essential Oils + Acupuncture points = Acuromatherapy
Chinese Medicinal Aromatherapy or Acuromatherapy, is a unique healing technique, that involves the combination of botanical medicine, essential oils, and flower essences, applied to acupuncture points and meridians. Drawing on classical Chinese medicinal principles, this powerful therapy brings about transformative changes in both the body and the mind. By precisely targeting acupuncture points on the body, profound shifts can occur, addressing not only physical ailments but also nurturing the spirit within.
At the heart of Acuromatherapy lies the utilisation of essential oils, which possess a remarkable energetic potential. These oils, derived from plants, are infused with the essence and spirit of their botanical origins, imbuing them with powerful healing properties. Diluted versions of these oils are applied to specific acupuncture points, carefully selected based on their shared resonance and purpose. This allows them to access the Qi (energy) and to influence it.
The harmonious integration of essential oils and acupuncture amplifies their healing potential, making way for the release of stagnant energies and trapped emotions. Over time, disruptive energies can accumulate within the body, leading to imbalances and blockages. Through the targeted application of Acuromatherapy, these obstacles can be gently dissolved, allowing for restoration and renewal.
Chinese Botanical Medicine
Chinese Herbal Medicine is a time-honoured healing modality that has gained widespread recognition for its effectiveness. However, what sets this therapy apart is the utilisation of elements from plants beyond just herbs. While Chinese herbal formulas are typically ingested in various forms such as teas, decoctions, powders, pills, or capsules, the application of essential oils takes a different approach by being predominantly applied externally.
The ingestion of herbal medicine allows for a profound effect on the deeper organs of the body, promoting their optimal functioning and restoring balance. On the other hand, the topical application of essential oils taps into the intricate meridian system, enabling us to influence the movement of Qi (vital energy) and Blood within the body.
It is important to note that there is a significant overlap in functionality between many herbs and essential oils. This can be attributed to the presence of essential oils in numerous herbs, allowing for a holistic approach to treatment. By combining the benefits of both Chinese herbal medicine and essential oils, practitioners can customise treatments tailored to the specific needs of each individual, optimising their overall well-being and health.

Essential Oils.
Essential oils are concentrated, aromatic liquids that are extracted from plants. Each essential oil captures the spirit of the plant in its unique and characteristic fragrance derived from the volatile oils. The aroma can range from floral and citrusy to woody and earthy, depending on the plant source.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), aromatic substances such as essential oils, are used to influence the flow of Qi (vital energy) and balance the body's energies.
-
Flower Essences.
Flower essences are liquid infusions or extracts made from the flowering parts of plants. Unlike essential oils, which capture the aromatic compounds of plants, flower essences capture the energetic or vibrational imprint of the flowers. This practice is primarily used to address emotional well-being, soul development, and mind-body health.
By applying flower essences to acupuncture points, it is possible to stimulate the movement of energy (Qi) to help release emotinal constraint and much more.
