Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Good Morning! Aromatherapy Massage Aromatherapy Massage is the use of essential oils for curative and rejuvenating effects. Dating back to ancient Egypt, India, and the Far East, this simple therapy has been used for centuries to reduce stress and tension, refresh and invigorate the body, soothe emotions, and clear the mind. After an initial discussion with the client, specific essential oils are used in conjunction with other appropriate techniques, such as massage, acupressure, or reflexology. Used in carrier oils, the essential oil is absorbed through the skin and into the body to affect physiological change. When inhaled the aroma directly affects the limbic area of the brain that is related to emotions and memories. Utilize a blend of two to three essential oils for conditions a client may be experiencing at the time. From stress relief to poor circulation, there are a hundred excuses to have an aromatherapy massage! Andrew Pacholyk, MS, L.Ac.
