Aromatherapy Massage

Scent is the most enduring and powerful of our senses. It has the power to transform our emotions and heal our bodies. It can take us to another place and time.

The healing power of plants has been acknowledge by many cultures for thousands of years. It has been said that aromatherapy stems from the various systems of traditional medicine developed by ancient civilizations. The convergence of folklore and medical practices a science in aromatherapy has been created that resides in respecting the healing properties of the essence of naturally grown plant matter.

The holistic approach of aromatherapy massage is to treat the body as a whole—mentally, physically and psychologically. It uses therapeutic oils extracted from natural plant matter in order to encourage good health, equilibrium and well-being.

There are two styles of aromatherapy massage: a scented massage and a therapeutic massage. In a scented aromatherapy massage, the practitioner creates a blend of oils that appeals to your sense of smell: a scent that conjures up pleasant memories and/or feelings. Its emphasis is more on the mental and psychological benefits of the oils on the body with the physical benefits playing a slightly lesser role.

A therapeutic aromatherapy massage can be viewed as a more “natural” medical approach to your healing. Its emphasis is on treating a specific condition and/or problem. Specific blends are created to combat problems such as chronic fatigue, insomnia, digestive problems (i.e. IBS, Chrons); allergies, headaches; chronic muscle tension; and much more.

Main Benefits:

• helps in balancing emotions;
• relieves muscle tension and pain;
• relieves digestive disorders;
• helps reduce and relieve menstrual cramps;
• helps improve respiratory problems;
• alleviates symptoms of depression and sadness;
• reduces stress and anxiety levels; and
• promotes a general feeling of calm, relaxation and well-being.

This is a wonderful relaxation massage. Have this massage if you want the results of a deeper massage without the deep pressure.

Note: Essential oils are very effective but their effectiveness on the body takes longer than a Swedish or Deep Tissue massage to manifest.
