Aromatherapy uses essential oils which are actually the organic essences of aromatic plants. They are very concentrated and each oil possesses its own individual therapeutic properties and fragrance. Used in combination with a nourishing carrier oil, such as Sweet Almond, the essential oils are massaged into the skin and the aroma is simultaneously inhaled. As a result, they penetrate deep into the tissues and circulatory system. During an Aromatherapy treatment, several essential oils may be combined in a synergistic blend. In other words, the combined use of the oils produces a greater beneficial effect than just one oil used alone. The benefits of Aromatherapy Massage can also take place on different levels, ie physically, mentally and emotionally, thereby producing a more balanced sense of wellbeing. Aromatherapy Massage has been used for millennia on many conditions. In today's modern, hectic society, it is a useful treatment for everyday aches and pains, stresses and strains, and can be a beneficial addition to maintain and support health and wellbeing. Physiologically, caring touch and massage helps the flow of blood and lymph around our bodies. Studies have shown that touch can also help to decrease our blood pressure and heart rate, soothe our nerves and decrease tension, producing relaxation and a state of well-being. It has been suggested that massage may aid the production of the brain's chemicals that function as natural painkillers, reducing pain and producing a state of mind akin to euphoria. In conclusion, the proper use of essential oils helps to promote a more balanced lifestyle. There is less likelihood of succumbing to everyday illness and the effects of modern-day stress. A balanced state of mind also promotes vitality and a greater ability to cope with potentially difficult events. Because of advertising restrictions, we are only allowed to make very limited claims regarding the effectiveness of Aromatherapy Massage in connection with specific conditions.
