Cancer and Aromatherapy

Breathlessness is a common side effect of certain types of cancer. This can be a distressing and life limiting symptom for any patient.

There are numerous ways patients can be helped in a non invasive and holistic way with aromatherapy oils and massage.

I have recently treated a lady for breathlessness using Black Spruce and cypress which she found to give her a feeling of calm and space. Feeling calm meant she was able to breathe more steadily instead of feeling restricted.
