Why Consent Is Important With Aromatherapy

Communication is a vital part of any therapeutic experience. Not only does it ensure that your client is comfortable and safe, but it also gives important insight into where they are physical.

By asking permission and encouraging your client to discuss what works and what doesn’t, you can gain key information about their health. You can also use communication to make your client feel heard and cared for, which is especially important when working with people who experience high levels of shame and fear surrounding their bodies.

You’re not only letting your client know that you understand their needs, but you’re also validating them. You’re acknowledging that their wants and needs are important, that you care about giving them what they need, and that you understand the gravity of their situation.

What Is Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is the use of fragrant plant oils to reduce stress, improve mental and physical health, and promote relaxation and sleep.

It has become an alternative medical practice that is used to treat a variety of health issues and improve overall well-being. Aromatherapy oils can be applied topically or taken internally as a tea. Some oils are also used in massage to promote relaxation and reduce stress. Even certain scents are said to have specific health benefits.
