Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of pure essential oils and floral waters, known as hydrosols, distilled from a wide variety of plants. Recent research confirms what aromatherapists have
known for many years --- aromatherapy has many powerful uses including stress relief, pain reduction, and increased physical, mental and emotional balance.
In true aromatherapy there is a difference between genuine essential oils and artificial scents used in many modern products. Pure essential oils owe their therapeutic and esthetic qualities to specific and complex
components found only in authentic, plant-derived oils. These invaluable qualities are drawing increasing numbers of massage therapists, estheticians and other practitioners to incoporate aromatherapy into their practices.
How are essential oils used in an Aromatherapy massage?
Aromatherapy Massage
One of the primary ways of using aromatherapy is through touch. Diluted in quality carrier oils or lotions, essential oils nourish the skin and enhance the goals of massage --- to increase blood and lymph flow,
move waste products from the tissues, increase relaxation and release tension. Meanwhile, the aromas released help balance one's state of mind through the brain's limbic system.
Your practitioner will choose an oil or blend of oils to suit your particular needs. Although most of the selected essential oils will be pleasing to you, let your massage therapist know if you find an aroma irritating or unpleasant. Also indicate if you have allergies, medical conditions or other concerns. Never hesitate to ask questions.
With an aromatherapy massage, you can enjoy a respite from day to day challenges with a pleasurable experience unlike any other. Beyond its many esthetic and therapeutic benefits, aromatherapy massage offers relaxation, stress relief and a refreshing boost to your mood and sense of well-being. Every day therapists and recipients alike experience what research now confirms --- essential oils can soothe and inspire the human body, mind and spirit.
