Different “Schools”
of Application
Therapeutic
treatment using essential oils follows three different models or frame works: French, German, and English.
The
English models of aromatherapy use advocates diluting a small amount of essential oil in a vegetable oil
and massaging the body for the purpose of relaxation and relieving stress.
The
French model of essential oils use prescribes the ingestion and neat (undiluted) topical application of therapeutic-grade
essential oils.
The
German model focuses on inhalation of essential oils.
Together, these three models show how
versatile and powerful essential oils can be, as some aromatherapist will verify.
