Have a Aromatherapy Massage
Aromatherapy massage is the alternative
therapeutic technique which combines the
natural therapeutic properties of the essential oils and the healing power of massage
therapy. Aromatherapy massage not only
has powerful physical, emotional and mental
effects but it is also described as a great relaxing and rejuvenating experience.
Aromatherapy massage uses essential oils derived from plants to achieve therapeutic benefits. In aromatherapy massage, essential oils
are usually mixed with a carrier oil like sweet
almond, apricot kernel, or grapeseed oil. A
relaxing aromatherapy massage, for instance,
might have lavender or bergamot, while a
massage for sore muscles might include peppermint and eucalyptus. Before your first

aromatherapy massage session, your massage therapist will conduct an initial consultation with you to learn about your desired outcome. They might ask about the current state
of your work life, home life, physical health
and mental state to learn about what you
need. After the consultation, one or more
essential oils are selected based on what you
need and are mixed in with the massage oil or
lotion. The subtle aroma of the essential oils
fill the air around you during the massage.
The benefits of aromatherapy massage affect
a wide range of health conditions of nervous,
circulatory, lymphatic, immune and muscular
systems. Aromatherapy massage is a pleasant
method for mental clarity, relaxation, stress
and headache alleviation.`
