PEOPLE suffering from multiple sclerosis can benefit from an aromatherapy service launched by The Butterwick Hospice at Bishop Auckland.
The service is free to people in Wear Valley and Teesdale and offers sufferers massage sessions using essential oils.
Carers can learn some simple massage techniques at the same time.
The service is supported by Durham Dales Action for Carers and Stanhope and Darlington MS Societies and part-funded by Help the Hospices and the St James Place Foundation.
Aromatherapist Andrea Lambell is hosting three drop-in sessions in Stanhope, Bishop Auckland, and Barnard Castle.
