Aroma Point Therapy

Aroma Point Therapy is plant medicine work in its most refined form.

It’s not to be confused with aromatherapy. Aromatherapy focuses on the emotional or sensory effects of essential oils, but Aroma Point Therapy transcends this.

Aligning itself with the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it views essential oils as the concentrated essence of a plant’s spirit. It then works through the meridian system to awaken the body’s innate ability to heal.

In this system, each plant (and its essential oil) is classified through TCM. It’s either considered warming (yang), cooling (yin), or neutral, and is associated with one of the five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, or Water. In TCM, each element relates to specific organ systems and has specific physical/emotional/energetic functions. An essential oil’s TCM classification reveals how and where it offers support.

For example, Rose is classified as a yin fire plant. In TCM, Fire governs the heart and pericardium — the energetic centres of love, connection, and emotional truth. Rose, being cooling (yin), helps calm and nourish the heart’s fire, offering profound support for heartbreak, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm.

An essential oil is applied to the acupuncture points it relates to. This allows it to penetrate the body's energetic pathways and address imbalances at their root.

In an Aroma Point Therapy session, we begin with a diagnostic conversation, guided by TCM principles. You’ll share your symptoms and current challenges, and I’ll sense what energetic imbalances may be present. From there, I select specific oils and create a blend tailored to your unique constitution and needs.

The oils become a partner in your healing journey, working on physical, emotional, spiritual, and energetic levels. Aroma Point Therapy echoes the broader philosophy of plant medicine, where plants are seen as allies.
