About Aroma massage

Aromatherapy massage is Swedish massage therapy using massage oil or lotion that contains essential oils (highly concentrated plant oils).

During an aromatherapy massage, you inhale these essential oil molecules or absorb them through your skin. They are thought to promote beneficial changes in your mind and body by affecting the limbic system, a region of the brain known to be involved in emotion

A carrier oil is important because most essential oils are extremely strong, and can possibly sting the skin, especially the citrus varieties. These carrier oils benefit the skin on another level because they contain specific vitamins and minerals that moisturize and nourish skin.

Most oils used equally promote relaxation, ease tense muscles and joints, improve circulation, and energize one’s mood.

Picking an oil to match your needs is something a good practitioner can go over with you, in order to pinpoint your specific desires. Most popular for calming the mind, stress reduction, and restful sleep are lavender and chamomile, which interestingly have similar benefits when ingested as a tea. Among the energizing oils are orange, ylang ylang, and rosemary. Uplifting oils include lemongrass and grapefruit.
