“The AromaTouch Technique was developed to maximize the benefits of essential oils. Its powerful benefits can be effectively delivered equally well by both the novice essential oil enthusiast and the professional health practitioner.” – Dr. David K. Hill.
AromaTouch activates the "hug" hormone oxytocin, decreases heart rate and blood pressure, and has a beneficial influence on multiple other stress-sensitive systems using gentle touch with zone activation, auricular stress, tissue pull, and lympatic movement.

The AromaTouch Technique is a clinical approach to applying essential oils along energy meridians and visceral contact points along the spine, ears, and feet. The intent is to balance the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems of the body. The technique is simple, intuitive, and designed to provide overall "well-being" by supporting beneficial autonomic functions and reducing stressors--physical and emotional.
The technique combines gentle touch with the topical layering of pure, therapeutical-grade essential oils. Layering is the process of applying one essential oil or blend on top of another. The eight essential oils and blends used in the AromaTouch Technique work synergistically to provide benefits in four key areas.
