Aromatherapy gently assimilates natures healing with the body to create powerful results.
What is Aromatherapy Massage?
Aromatherapy works on the basis that the smell of the essential oils trigger the limbic system – the part of the brain that seems to be linked with emotion. This is why it can affect how you feel, and help you relax. Massage helps your skin to absorb warmed essential oils; these oils improve the effectiveness of the massage in treating specific physical problems. It uses the principle that strengthening the body’s own immune system is the most effective way to prevent illness and promote health and so help to restore the harmony between mind, body and spirit.
All of the oils have therapeutic properties and can be tailor-made for any illnesses or conditions of the body. A number of essential oils are carefully selected depending on the clients needs. Whilst the massage is being performed remember to breathe deeply and relax. The oils can penetrate through your skin by absorption and also by inhalation. The Aromatherapy massage technique is gentle and flowing but firm and extremely relaxing.
