Aromatherapy and reflexology techniques
Aromatherapy and reflexology techniques are among the many powerful modalities used by the naturopathic consultant. Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils from plants to strengthen and balance the body's natural processes. Although its origins extend to ancient Egypt, the modern era of aromatherapy began around 100 years ago with the work of chemist R. M. Gattefosse. These oils can be used in a number of ways, including inclusion in soaps and other products. Reflexology techniques take advantage of interconnectivity of the human body. By stimulating points on the hands, feet and ears the practitioner causes other parts of the body to react by increasing blood flow and unblocking natural energy pathways. Both of these systems are highly effective ways to stimulate the natural workings of our bodies and can be used by health and fitness professionals alike.

Benefits for health and fitness professionals
Obviously both aromatherapy and reflexology can be used to stimulate healing. In addition to restoring the natural balance of a client with long term problems, health and fitness professionals can also use these innovative practices for short term situations such as muscle soreness. In fact, many simple techniques can even be passed along to clients to allow them to ease their aches and pains or move towards a state of homeostasis at home.
Clayton College of Natural Health is excited to offer both of these incredible and ancient techniques to their distance learning students. These are but two of the practices incorporated by modern naturopathic consultants to help their clients achieve health in a safe and natural manner. CCNH offers several degree and certificate options through our alternative medicine school.
