Safe Blending & Allergies
Aromatherapy combines the science of plant extracts with the art of holistic treatment. Essential oils can calm, energise, or restore balance — but they are powerful substances that require correct dilution, skin testing, and hygiene controls. Because oils can cause allergic reactions, burns, or sensitisation, it's vital that therapists understand blending ratios, contraindications, and how to handle pure oils safely. Following UK regulations ensures safe practice and professional credibility.
