Aromatherapy Massage
Aromatherapy is a term that encompasses
many forms of treatment. This overview
only refers to Aromatherapy treatment as
related to massage.
Aromatherapy uses the purest plant
essence in the form of organic essential
oils, which are extracts from various parts
of plants, fruits, flowers, bark, roots, or
resin. Essential oils contain dozens of
powerful complex natural chemicals that have
beneficial properties. Due to the diversity
of essential oils and their individual
therapeutic properties, the range of
benefits and effects of Aromatherapy is wide
ranging.
Most Aroma therapists will have a
holistic approach to client consultation.
This provides the information necessary to
select the appropriate essential oils for
the maximum therapeutic benefit. The
selected essential oils are blended with a
carrier/base massage oil to create a unique
mix for each client’s individual needs.
This Aromatherapy blend is usually applied
to the skin with traditional body massage.
Other massage techniques such as deep tissue
work may also be used, depending on the
Aroma therapist’s practice and expertise
and the client’s requirement.
Aroma therapists may be registered
massage therapists but are frequently not so
one must check with them before assuming
that the therapy is covered under a health
insurance plan.
Benefits:
Aromatherapy treatments have both
physiological and psychological effects. The
combination of massage and the medicinal and
therapeutic qualities of the essential oils
(molecules both inhaled [aroma] and absorbed
through the skin) can soothe, revitalize,
uplift the spirit, encourage positive
thinking and boost the immune system
enabling the body to heal itself.
