Aromatic TCM Covid Strategies
The ancient techniques of Traditional Chinese Medicine combine very well with the anti-viral and soothing effects of essential oils in order to support our clients during this pandemic. The energising and calming effects of massaging acupoints and meridian connections can be felt immediately and can be done by clients themselves after a brief online consultation. Ideally combined with essential oil blends or diluted single essential oils.
