Aroma Touch Therapy

Aroma Touch Therapy

The AromaTouch Technique® is the application of essential oils to the back and feet. This technique combines the unique benefits of human touch with the power of essential oils to create an overall wellness experience.

Your nervous system is a powerful tool that can either work for you or against you. Taking care of your physical body and all of its complexities are crucial to the process of living a life with more ease and joy. Our nervous system takes on the brunt of our busy and stressful lives, but we very rarely stop long enough to replenish it. The science behind soothing our nervous system is vast and too complex to explain on one page. However, we understand the profound affect it has on our lives when our nervous system is working in harmony, which is why we are excited to offer our patients this incredible service.

The AromaTouch Technique® is the application of essential oils to the back and feet. This technique combines the unique benefits of human touch with the power of essential oils to create an overall wellness experience. The essential oils used in the AromaTouch Technique were chosen for their individual and combined aromatic properties. The technique is an essential oil application that combines a moderate touch procedure with eight of doTERRA’s most powerful oils and blends.

To get an idea of both the short-term and long-term benefits of the technique, the researchers evaluated the effects on the body immediately after volunteers received just one technique, and they also measured the lasting effects on the body when the technique was administered regularly for an extended period of time.

The researchers measured heart rate, blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, and took saliva samples, which were analyzed for cortisol (a stress hormone) and other biomarkers of health. Volunteers also filled out a subjective questionnaire that indicated their current state of mind.

Results indicated that both groups experienced decreases in heart rate, mean arterial pressure, diastolic blood pressure, stress scores, and salivary levels of cortisol immediately after the first AromaTouch Technique.

The results suggest that the AromaTouch Technique is an excellent way to immediately reduce feelings of stress and promote relaxation. When administered regularly, it is also effective at promoting sustained results in the body over the long term. This research study provides strong evidence supporting the benefits of the AromaTouch Technique.
