Aromatherapy is a holistic healing practice that uses essential oils to promote health and wellbeing. Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts that have powerful therapeutic properties. Some of their properties are: 1. On the physical level – anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, strengthening the immune system, improving digestion, hormone balancing, alleviating aches and pains, antispasmodic and more. 2. On the mental and emotional level – good for stress and anxiety reduction, sleep improvement, mood enhancement, energy level boosting, relaxation, emotional balance and mental clarity. Aromatherapy massage is a gentle and relaxing form of body massage with the usage of essential oils. During the massage the aromas of essential oils are inhaled and the oils also get absorbed through the skin. The purpose of the aromatherapy massage is to enhance well being and relaxation through both the physical benefits of the massage and the therapeutic properties of the essential oils. Massage is suitable for everybody from young children to the elderly. Massage should be avoided if you have certain health conditions such as skin conditions like rashes, contagious skin diseases, acute flare-ups of autoimmune diseases, open wounds, any injuries, severe heart problems or blood clots. If you have any serious health problems and are unsure about having aromatherapy massage please consult your doctor about it.
