Aromatherapy is the use of Essential Oils. They can be blended to a bath, burner for inhalation or added to carrier oils for massage.
This is what I shall describe.
I have been blending oils for facials, massage including Sports Massage for around 30 years.
The Ancient Egyptians found the therapeutic properties helped the body HEAL itself. Aromatherapy massage has both the benefits massage brings along with the use of Oils which each have antibiotic, antiseptic and antiviral or antiinflammatory properties. (greater or lesser)
It is a holistic approach to health, helping both the mind and body. Treating the whole person, not just a single symptom or complaint.
The aim is to give an enjoyable experience while also having benefits of an extremely effective way of relieving stress, tension, and pain relief.
When choosing Essential Oils I will usually choose 3 to form a synergy that will be best suited for the treatment.
It is best to remember the Essential Oils are part of this treatment along with the fact that massage itself helps eliminate toxins via the lymph, helps muscle tone causing increase in elasticity, this is also due to increased blood supply and helps the skin glow by removing the top layer of the skin, leaving it glowing.
