AROMATHERAPY MASSAGE
What Is Aromatherapy Massage?
Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils for certain benefits. Examples include lavender, orange and bergamot, and eucalyptus. These “aromas” are all plant-based derivatives from herbs, tree extracts, and flowers. Essential oils are extremely concentrated so to be used correctly they should be diluted into milder oils, humidifiers, or lotions.
The overall purpose of aromatherapy is meant to improve your physical and mental well-being. More consumers are testing out essential oil products than ever before by diffusing them at home or diluting them for skin usage. During an aromatherapy massage, you will inhale these essential oils or have them absorbed through your skin. Through either of these methods, you will gain beneficial therapeutic benefits - like relaxation or pain relief.
Benefits Of Aromatherapy Massage
Aromatherapy massage combines two therapeutic practices to create wonderful results. Aromatherapy is an ancient approach that provides a number of health and emotional benefits. Essential oils such as lavender, orange blossom, and peppermint offer unique effects to the senses. Massage uses pressure and touch to offer healing and stress relief by stimulating the lymphatic, circulatory, nervous, and musculoskeletal systems.
Decreased Anxiety
Combining aromatherapy with massage can truly relax your senses, helping to reduce and anxiety and tension you may be experiencing. The healing touch of massage releases endorphins. These are hormones known as “feel good chemicals” because they have natural pain relief and stress reduction properties.
Headache Relief
Many people seek an aromatherapy massage specifically for the purpose of relieving their headache or migraine problems. Chronic headaches take a toll on the body and spirit. Massage therapy, combined with oils like peppermint or ylang ylang can help.
Improved Circulation
One of the benefits of an aromatherapy massage is the manipulation and pressure of massage can assist in increasing blood flow to vital organs and muscles. There are even essential oils that aid in boosting circulation. These include sandalwood, juniper berry, cypress, grapefruit, and frankincense.
Enhanced Mental Well-Being
The combination of massage therapy and aromatherapy don’t just work together to increase circulation in your body, they also enhance the workings of your brain. This happens because the olfactory nerves within the brain are stimulated by the circulation effect that aromatherapy massage provides. This process then stimulates serotonin production, which leads to higher alertness and mental function. Orange and other citrus oils can be used to boost the mood lifting effects.
