AROMAPRESSURE
Combintation of Essential Oils & Acupressure
When I first discovered this in 2019 I was totally fascinated. Already deeply engaged then in learning essential oils exploring blending essential oils and determined to be a certified aromatherapist, I was totally sold on the combined power of Aroma (essential oils) + Acupressure = Aromapressure as a sure WIN formula for self-care.
​
Especially suited to those who are needle-phobic like me. With a bottle of your favorite essential oil blend and your hands you can apply Aromapressure anytime, anywhere. Really quite simple to learn.
​
The approach is applying gentle pressure using your fingers on key meridian points on body. Adding essential oils has synergistic effect that is more powerful than using pressure points alone.
