If you are new to essential oils or looking to use them to support your health and well-being and not sure where to start an aromatherapy consultation would be great for you.
An aromatherapist can create a treatment plan based on your specific needs which gives you the tools to manage your health.
Your first consultation should be one on one and don't be surprised if your therapist asks some questions for screening before the appointment. These questions will be geared towards medical history, general health, diet, lifestyle, the reason for treatment and, even scent preferences. In this time period, most therapists will relay how they provide services and their policies which will enable a better experience and lay the foundation of what to expect.
Medical history
First and most importantly please seek medical advice before any essential oil and keep in mind a reputable therapist will not advise that you stop carrying out medical instructions or stop taking your prescribed medication.
Essential oils are natural but not because its natural means it's safe and some have contraindications that might interfere with your medication. Therefore, it is very important to let your therapist know if you have any high or low blood pressure, liver disease, skin disease, diabetes, cancer, etc.
General health
Your overall health is also important and your aromatherapist will also ask about your levels of stress, alcohol consumption, smoke, and whether you suffer from sensitivity or allergies.
Diet
Most aromatherapists are not nutritionists however, this information will assist them in better knowing your overall health condition and making the best treatment plan for you.
Lifestyle
Knowing your lifestyle can help your therapist assist in choosing the right oils. For example, you have a busy lifestyle and have issues falling asleep, your therapist knowing this information will be able to choose the right oils for you.
Reason for treatment and scent preferences
