Aromatherapy Massage A Perfect Blend
Posted by: | CommentsAROMATHERAPY - By distilling plants and flowers to their most concentrated form, precious and fragrant oils known as “Essential Oils” are produced.
Aromatherapy is the Ancient Art & science of using essential oils to aid in healing imbalances in the physical and subtle bodies. Throughout history the powerful properties of plants have been known by different cultures around the globe: Egyptians, Greeks, French, Romans, & Native Americans.
Each essential oil is made up of concentrated oxygen-charged molecules that are 75-100 times more concentrated than dried herbs. These tiny plant molecules carry the essence or “life force” of the particular plant and are small enough to break the blood brain barrier allowing deep healing & clearing to take place.
Since ancient times these oils have been used to aid in relaxation, improve circulation and facilitate the healing of physical and emotional wounds. The oils can also be absorbed directly into the body by inhalation or by applying them topically to specific “reflex” points on the body or feet during massage or reflexology treatments.
In aromatherapy massage the scents that are used during your massage session are meant to touch a deeper part of you. These can be scents that remind you of a time when you felt happy, safe, relaxed, peaceful or energized. Your emotion elicited by the scent of the essential oil and the sensation of touch - is how aromatherapy massage makes you feel relaxed, stimulated, peaceful or euphoric, depending on their desired emotional response. This combination can also provide stress relief and pain relief, help aid a sleeping disorder or physical condition, or energize the mind and body.
Before your first aromatherapy massage session, your therapist will conduct an initial consultation with you to learn about your desired outcome. Your therapist might ask you about the current state of your work life, home life, physical health and mental state to learn about what you need. Following the consultation, your therapist will select several essential oils specific to your mental and physical conditions, and blend them into a massage oil to be used during your massage.
Aromatherapy massage is a great way to relax and boost your immune system during times of stress: so remember to book your treatment online with Aeriol at RPM Therapy in San Jose today and stay healthy.
