20 March 2011
Mary undertook an acupressure points course to fully understand the Oriental Medicine approach to body/mind, and the connectiveness with one’s environment and the natural world around. She has just completed an Advanced Certificate in Aromatic Acupressure & Meridian Massage Awarded by ITHMA (The institute of Traditional herbal Medicine and Aromatherapy).
Aromatic Acupressure / Meridian Massage uses essential oils carefully selected for its therapeutic properties to stimulate the routes or pathways through which the energy (Qi) travels around the body. Rather than thinking of the channels as fixed physical constructs (e.g.blood circulation system), the meridians can be thought of as continuous flowing rivers of energy subject to physiological and emotional influence.
Acu points may be used to influence locally or in the wider view to balance / harmonise the channel as a whole or to influence corresponding parts of the physical body off-site.
