Aromatherapy


This kind of therapy uses volatile plant materials,
known as essential oils, and other aromatic
compounds for the purpose of altering a person's
mind, mood, cognitive function or health.



Some essential oils such as tea tree have
demonstrated anti-microbial effects
demonstrating efficacy against bacterial, fungal,
or viral infections.



Applying method: it could be in a specific
environment, inhalation or topical applications
(massages, baths, therapeutic skin care)


The inhaled aroma from these "essential" oils is
widely believed to stimulate brain function.
Essential oils can also be absorbed through the
skin, where they travel through the bloodstream
and can promote whole-body healing.
Massage


Is the manipulating of superficial and deeper layers of
muscle and connective tissue using various techniques.



Massage involves working and acting on the body with
pressure.

Is the study of the use of extracts from natural

tea plants.

Reflexology


Involves physical acts of applying pressure to the
feet, hands, or ears with specific thumb, finger, and
hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion.



It is based on what reflexologists claim to be a
system of zones and reflex areas that they say reflect
an image of the body on the feet and hands, with the
premise that such work effects a physical change to
the body.



A unifying theme is the idea that
areas on the foot correspond to areas
of the body, and that by manipulating
these one can improve health through
one's. Reflexologists divide the body
into ten equal vertical zones, five on
the right and five on the left.
Acupuncture

have been inserted into acupunctures points in the skin.
