Aromatherapy in Columbus

Peppermint in its Essential oil form has many medicinal properties along with its great flavor. When used during an aromatherapy Craniosacral Session, the peppermint oil can be both energizing and soothing. It is an excellent digestive, acts as an anti-inflammatory, aids in respiration and circulation. When applied with a base oil, at first the sensation may be close to that of the candy, with a crisp awakening touch. However, as the oils are absorbed, circulation increases and a general sense of overall warmth takes its place. This makes peppermint a good oil to use for headaches, toothaches, fatigue and bad breath. It’s also a wonderful scent that brings about a lively alertness to life.

Benefits of Peppermint

When going in for a Craniosacral Therapy Session, ask for a few drops of Peppermint to freshen up your mood and day!

Do People with Autism Benefit from Craniosacral Therapy?

How Does Craniosacral Therapy help those with Autism?

When I work with clients, I am totally aware of the shifts and changes that take place during the Craniosacral Therapy session. The tissues under my hands are alive and speaking to me through the movements and rhythms. Often clients quickly move from a stressful state into such deep relaxation after applying a still point that I hear light snoring in a matter of minutes. It brings me pleasure to help people find their inner peace through the manual work of Craniosacral therapy and other treatments that I share.

But- there is more than deep relaxation that happens during a Craniosacral Therapy Session. Craniosacral Therapists who are trained at the Advanced level learn to encourage the body into “still point” which can provide a very positive effect on the Central Nervous System.

What is a still point?

It is a temporary pause in the cerebral spinal fluid circulation through your brain and spinal cord. Inducing a still point will eventually flush out the system as the fluid rushes back in to nourish. The still point can help children and adults with autism to relax deeply so that they can receive the other Craniosacral techniques. It’s very quieting and fulfilling.

Parents of children with autism often report that their children with occasional treatment, are able to have better eye contact and able to release stress easier.
