10 Reasons to choose Rompa’s Aromatherapy Kit

Product Highlight

Rompa Aromatherapy KitRompa’s aromatherapy kit is an easy to use compact kit with its own attractive, wooden case that allows the user to store the 12 oils upright. Suitable for a wide range of uses – with the Aroma Stone, Interactive Aroma Panel, Aroma Diffuser Professional, in the bath or for massage.

1. Choice
This comprehensive kit includes 12 different aromas, from Grapefruit and Bergamot, to Tea Tree and Lavender

2. Longevity
As you only need to use a couple of drops each time, this kit typically lasts for 2 to 3 years, if not longer. Oils are bottled just before they are despatched to us

3. Natural
The oils are essential oils – high quality, natural oils – not synthetic, water-based alternatives

4. Ethical
The oils are ethically sourced from all over the world – our supplier has established strong relationships with producers for many years, often through travelling to sites to maintain these links

5. Tested
The oils are tested for quality and a MSDS is available on our website

6. Multi-purpose
Useful for stimulating memories, encouraging appetite, massage, bathing, freshening rooms and masking less pleasant odours … these oils can be used in many different ways. Using an oil in a fan-operated diffuser is both simple and safe.

7. Sensory
Despite having the quickest and most direct route to the brain of all the senses, our sense of smell is often over-looked as many of us use our sense of sight as our primary sense. In order for Multi-Sensory Environments to be truly multi-sensory, aroma should be considered with the other senses, including the vestibular and proprioceptive senses

8. Comforting
Our sense of smell is not only very sensitive and powerful, it is connected to mood, emotions and feelings. Aromas can transport us to our childhood and stimulate memories of loved ones and happy times. Aromas can also be used to distract during treatment and to help maintain connections with individuals when incorporated into massage.

9. Alternative
Akin to the values of Snoezelen®, aromatherapy can be used effectively as an alternative to medication. For example, essential oils such as Lavender and Vetiver can be used to help encourage sleep – safe avenues to explore before resorting to sedatives

10. On trend
Aromatherapy is coming back into vogue, notably in the USA, but also in the UK. Some perfume houses are consciously choosing to use more essential oils in their perfumes to avoid the use of preservatives.

Note: it is recommended that this kit be used by someone who has attended an aromatherapy course (such as ISPA or IFA) and has sufficient knowledge for its safe application.

Multi-Purpose Furniture

Product Development, Product Highlight

Multi-purpose furniture can greatly enhance life for Older Adults suffering from Dementia and other conditions, they not only delight but encourage engagement and interaction which can be extremely fulfilling. We provide a wide range of multi-purpose furniture which we recently had the opportunity to present to clients at Edmund Street – a local activity centre for the elderly and those with additional needs.  The response from the clients to the furniture was extremely heart-warming to watch and we were able to capture some great photography.

Deluxe 8 Colour Wirefree Controller

The 8 way switch provides endless interactive possibilities. It can be wirelessly connected to other furniture in a room, resulting in immersive colour changes at the touch of a button. This acted as a great talking point for colour preferences and helped to reinforce cause and effect. The switch not only acts as visual stimulation but provides audio too, much to the delight of the clients, the switch ‘speaks’ the number on the button when pressed. When linked to the correct software, the switch also plays musical notes when buttons are pressed. This was particularly popular with the clients as they were able to produce high and low notes themselves and to play their own songs.

Grandfather Glow Clock

The first comment we had regarding our Grandfather Glow Clock was how great it looked in a room. It provides a beautiful, classical timepiece with added sensory benefits. The outside of the clock glows in a variety of different colours. When used with the 8 way switch, this provided obvious enjoyment for the clients at Edmund Street.

Infinity Table

The infinity table fitted perfectly around the sofas at Edmund Street and immediately provided a striking and functional centrepiece for a couple of clients to focus on. The LED lights give the illusion of continuation within the table. This proved a hit when paired up with the 8 way colour switch. The colour changes provided a great talking point.
