What is aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy uses essential oils from plants to heal, alleviate pain and regulate mood. Essential oils are a volatile, highly
concentrated plant extracts, derived from leaves, bark, roots, seeds resins and flowers. It is the art and science of using essential
oils to enhance the well-being of body, mind and spirit. The essential oil of each plant is its life force containing both medicinal
and aromatic characteristics.
Aromatherapy draws on the healing powers of the plant world. Essential oils are chemically complex and impart their own
unique therapeutic qualities. They are used to relieve common ailments, stress related conditions and to promote good health
and emotional well-being.
What is aromatherapy massage?
Aromatherapy Massage is a massage session that uses essential oils that are added to the massage oil or lotion used. In
aromatherapy massage, essential oils are usually mixed with a carrier oil like sweet almond, apricot kernel, or grape seed oil. The
therapist use a mixture of essential oils that are based on what you need. A relaxing aromatherapy massage, for instance, might
have lavender or bergamot, while a massage for sore muscles might include peppermint and eucalyptus.
This type of massage uses primarily slow, gentle, rhythmic movements - effleurage. The massage technique helps muscles melt
into deep relaxation, relieves water retention, de-stresses the body, mind and spirit, stimulates the lymphatic system, improves
the immune response, and assists the body to naturally release toxins.
It is not only a powerful therapy for recovery from tension, fatigue or injury, it is also a powerful therapeutic tool to nurture and
heal the body. It is preventative therapy, valuable in keeping people healthy. The therapeutic power of touch combined with the
healing and balancing properties of essential oils is by far the most effective method to use essential oils. The therapeutic use of
essential oils and massage can affect all the systems of the body - in particular the muscular, circulatory, lymphatic (immune) and
nervous systems.
How does aromatherapy massage work?
Through our nostrils that are attach to part of the brain called the limbic system. This system controls our emotions and
influences also the nervous system and hormones.
By inhaling in the essential oils, it sends messages to the limbic system that affect our heart rate, stress level, blood pressure,
breathing, memory, digestion and the immune system.
The essential oils are also absorbed through the skin to do the same affect as the nostrils.
